The Belarusian State University (BSU) has improved its positions in the recently published Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings for 2024, BelTA learned from the Belarusian university.
BSU has been the only Belarusian university represented in the rankings for the past nine years. According to the Times Higher Education Rankings published on 27 September, BSU rose from 1501+ to 1201+.
The 2024 rankings include 1,904 universities from about 30,000 universities around the globe. In order to get into the rankings system, a university must have at least 1,000 publications in the international abstract database for 2018-2022, with the observation of the standard of 150 papers published per year. Some 769 universities are in the status of “candidate” for inclusion in the rankings. Among them are six Belarusian universities: Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics (BSUIR), Belarusian State Medical University (BGMU), the University of Civil Protection of the Emergencies Ministry of Belarus, Francisk Skorina Gomel State University, Gomel State Medical University, Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno.
The rankings assess universities on five areas - research environment, research quality, teaching, international outlook and industry. The table is based on an new methodology to include 18 carefully calibrated performance indicators and streamline calculation formulas. BSU received high marks on internationalization indicators - the score of the share of foreign students increased from 71 to 77 points, and also improved some other indicators, which took the university higher in the rankings.
The top three in the rankings are the University of Oxford, Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Russian universities, including Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, occupy the best positions in the rankings among Belarus' neighboring countries.
Together with the Shanghai and QS rankings, THE is among the three most authoritative world rankings. In total, BSU is represented in nine global rankings of world universities, including 387th place in QS, in 12 subject rankings, including the Shanghai subject ranking in physics, as well as in various thematic and specialized rankings.

В канун Дня учителя лучшие работники системы образования получают признание за свою работу.
Благодарность председателя Воложинского районного исполнительного комитета за многолетний добросовестный труд, профессионализм, творческий подход к обучению и воспитанию подрастающего поколения объявлена директору физкультурно-оздоровительного центра Воложинского района Алексею Потапченко.
Молодость – тот неоспоримый аргумент, который всегда побеждает в споре за результат.
Спорт, которым он занимался с малых лет, – вся жизнь Алексея Потапченко. И до сих пор, несмотря на статус, он остается действующим спортсменом. Представляет район на областном и республиканском уровнях, показывая, что в таком небольшом городке могут быть хорошие спортсмены. На своем примере демонстрирует подрастающему поколению, что ничего невозможного нет. При желании всего можно добиться.
Заслуженные награды – итог кропотливой и целенаправленной работы на результат
В роли руководителя ощущает себя тоже комфортно. С уверенностью говорит, что «к этому делу глаз горит». Занимая нишу менеджера, стремится продвигать новое, креативное – то, что приносило бы пользу населению города и района. Не боится спрашивать у людей, чего они сами хотят от спортивного учреждения, какие новые возможности ждут для себя.
За пять лет, которые Алексей Потапченко работает директором, значительно расширился спектр оказываемых населению услуг. Например, к такому виду фитнеса, как пилатес, представители прекрасной половины человечества проявили значительный интерес.

Belarus is negotiating loans with Russia and China to fund its road renovation projects, head of the motorway development department of the main directorate for motorways at the Belarusian Transport and Communications Ministry Sergei Leonchik said at the BelTA press center.
“We are in talks with Russian and Chinese partners, but this work is rather complicated. Belarus maintains a balanced position, while our partners from China and the Russian Federation have opted for a wait-and-see approach. Today we are working under sanctions, and we need to clearly understand all the risks for all parties of this process. The Economy Ministry is working hard to raise funds for the road sector. The Ministry of Transport and Communications has prepared applications and sent investment proposals. They are now under consideration,” said Sergei Leonchik.
The participation of the Eurasian Development Bank in Belarus' road renovation projects is also being discussed. “We suggest those projects where we have completed design documentation and examination. Our partners are considering them. Decisions will be made based on economic feasibility, since any loan has a price, an interest rate. The payback of each project must be carefully calculated and these projects should pay back fast. Negotiations have been ongoing throughout this year, but so far no agreements have been reached,” the representative of the Ministry of Transport and Communications informed.

Тамара Макаревич и Зоя Войткевич, постоянные волонтеры и участники подобных встреч, с удовольствием прокомментировали событие:
– Занимаемся скандинавской ходьбой года два. Очень нравится. Постоянно на свежем воздухе. Неоспоримая польза: разрабатываются суставы, повышается двигательная активность. Дружный коллектив не дает почувствовать возраст. Очень рады и довольны, что собрались здесь все сегодня.
В рамках Соглашения о сотрудничестве в области музейного дела между Министерством образования и Министерством культуры Республики Беларусь 27 сентября в Воложинском музее прошли экскурсии на бесплатной основе. В этот день музей посетили учащиеся средних школ № 1 и № 2 г. Воложина. Сотрудники музея провели экскурсии по экспозициям «На пути к единству» и «Геноцид – наша память и боль».
В преддверии Дня пожилых людей и профессионального праздника – Дня учителя в Воложинском сельскохозяйственном профессиональном колледже состоялась встреча с ветеранами педагогического труда
Тёплые слова благодарности за труд, за крепкие достойные традиции, сформировавшиеся в колледже за многие годы, адресовала ветеранам директор колледжа Светлана Мучинская.
С поздравлением и музыкальными подарками обратился председатель Воложинской районной организации Белорусского профсоюза работников агропромышленного комплекса Викентий Адамович.

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has received credentials from ambassadors of 11 countries, BelTA reports.
These countries are Kazakhstan, Hungary, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Uganda, Cambodia, the Philippines, Jordan and Colombia.
Aleksandr Lukashenko welcomed the diplomats on the beautiful, friendly and hospitable Belarusian soil: “I hope that your diplomatic work will bring our nations closer and help build truly friendly interstate relations.”
According to the president, the ambassadors are embarking on their mission in a very difficult period: “Today a new structure of international relations is emerging and it is steadily moving towards multipolarity. This process is irreversible, no matter how much someone would like it otherwise. We are witnessing the rise of what I see as a more fair and reasonable model of interaction between all nations, and not only privilaged states, on the principles of respect and partnership.”
Following the established tradition, the president briefly commented on the state of Belarus' interaction with the countries represented by the diplomats.
Aleksandr Lukashenko called Kazakhstan a fraternal state, a strategic partner and ally. “We have common history, robust trade and humanitarian ties. No topic is off limits for discussion due to friendly relations between the two heads of state. We will be happy to see President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev [in Belarus] this year to discuss a wide range of topics on the bilateral and international agendas,” the president said.
“Hungary is a long-standing and reliable friend of Belarus. Our relations have passed the test of time and are based on pragmatism and mutual respect,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.
He highlighted Budapest's proposals and initiatives on security and confidence-building measures in Europe. “We are ready to continue the dialogue with Hungary in order to de-escalate tensions in the region by resolving controversial issues through peace talks,” the Belarusian leader said.
The president noted that a rather big group of ambassadors from African countries was present at the ceremony. He said: “We view this as an eloquent demonstration of the mutual interest in each other.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko assured that Belarus is interested in equal and mutually beneficial cooperation with these African countries: “I invite you to come to Belarus as often as possible, to bring official delegations and representatives of the business community. You are always welcome here. We believe in your continent and have high hopes for it.”
Addressing the ambassador of Egypt, Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that he was sincerely glad to see in Minsk the ambassador of the country that is one of Belarus' key partners in North Africa. “We maintain good personal contacts with President el-Sisi, we run joint economic projects,” said the Belarusian leader. “We look forward to extending our reach to other African countries and expanding our presence in the Eurasian Economic Union,” he added.
Welcoming Zimbabwe's first ambassador to Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that cooperation with Harare is a poster child for Minsk's interaction with African countries.
“Together with President Mnangagwa, we have set very ambitious goals for the coming years. I am sure that the ambassador will make every effort to fully implement the agreements we have reached,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
Speaking about cooperation with Equatorial Guinea, the Belarusian head of state recalled the recent visit of the president of this country to Minsk: “Our candid conversation confirmed that African states intend to stop being used solely as sources of raw materials, and to industrialize their economies. We will lend a helping hand to you in your efforts.”
Since the implementation of the plans will require maintaining close contacts, Aleksandr Lukashenko expects the ambassador of Equatorial Guinea to be a frequent guest at Belarusian ministries and enterprises, and, if necessary, in the government and the Palace of Independence. “We are ready for this,” said the head of state.
Belarus and Angola have a long history of relations, the president noted. He also outlined significant potential for growing bilateral trade and confirmed Belarus' interest in intensifying a political dialogue, cooperation in economy and other areas.
Aleksandr Lukashenko named Uganda one of Belarus' promising partners in Africa. “We could significantly increase trade, interact more actively in agriculture, healthcare, education, and personnel training,” the head of state is convinced. “We are ready to supply our equipment and quality products. I am confident that the new ambassador will get actively involved in promoting cooperation in these and many other areas,” the president said.
“While strengthening multifaceted cooperation with all countries of the world, Belarus continues to explore cooperation opportunities with countries of the East,” the president noted.
According to him, one of Belarus' priority partners in Southeast Asia is the Kingdom of Cambodia: “We believe that everything is in place to step up cooperation in manufacturing, agriculture, and infrastructure upgrade.”
“Despite the distance, we view the Republic of the Philippines as an important partner for our country,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko. Belarus is ready to cooperate with Manila in food security and is willing to share its expertise and knowledge in creating agro-industrial holding companies that can both grow and process agricultural products.
The president emphasized Belarus' interest in establishing more partnerships in the Middle East. In this regard, he highlighted Jordan's well-deserved international authority and an important peacekeeping role in the region.
“Belarus shares your approaches. I strongly believe that our countries are able to step up their interaction in politics, economy, education, science, culture, tourism and other fields. This will benefit both states,” he said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko called Colombia an important partner of Belarus in Latin America. Colombia is currently pursuing a more balanced and independent policy in international affairs.
“Minsk and Bogotá are on the same page regarding illegitimate restrictions and the assessment of global developments. This opens up new opportunities to intensify dialogue at all levels, grow trade and expand interaction in other areas,” the head of state is convinced.
