The University Alliance of the New Silk Road (UANSR)
The authors of the mega project One Belt, One Road have identified four factors on which the success of its realization depends.
One of them is:
"Intellectual" Silk Road. Within the framework of this factor, the Silk Road countries are deepening their cooperation in the field of education and professional training of diverse specialists. The availability of young, gifted and enterprising personnel in the Silk Road countries is one of the key success factors of the project.
Therefore, for the practical realization of this component of the project, The University Alliance of the New Silk Road (UANSR) was formed in 2015, which united about 100 universities from 22 countries. Currently, it includes 132 universities from 32 countries, covering five continents.
