INNOPOLIS(Kazan) and LINGNAN(HongKong) ----------------------------------------------------- da Sergey Matveev (matseralex@gmail.com) November 11, 2025: Idea for Master programs in English in Russia we definitely have some programs at Skltech but in my opinion the interesting choice might be another young university in Russia, this is Innopolis https://innopolis.university/ It is not in Moscow but near Kazan. Currently, Alexaner Gasnikov has become a rector there and some European and other international professors (I know Valentin Leplat as example) teach there as well as Russians. They have many attractive programs. Kind regards, Sergey Matveev ---------------------------------------------------- da Raymond Chan (raymond.chan@ln.edu.hk) December 2, 2025: Dear Carmine, I am happy to hear that the students enjoyed their visit. That'll be excellent if they contemplate to do their PhD in HK. Besides Lingnan University PhD studentship (which involves teaching tutorials), the HK Government also has a PhD fellowship which gives better pay and no or less teaching. The students may think about it. But for PhD starting in 2026, the Government fellowship deadline has passed. However, LU PhD application will open until January. Here's the Government application website: https://cerg1.ugc.edu.hk/hkpfs/apply.html Here's Lingnan application website: https://www.ln.edu.hk/rpg/admission/application-for-admission [it is possible to apply also for MS positions] Very best regards, Raymond Vice-President (Academics) cum Provost Lam Man Tsan Chair Professor of Scientific Computing Department of Operations and Risk Management, and School of Data Science, Lingnan University 8 Castle Peak Rd, Tuen Mun, Hong Kong SIAM Fellow & Board of Trustees Member | AMS Fellow | CSIAM Fellow
