MIT-Skolkovo:

Russian Entrepreneurship Networking Event


The MIT Russian Club and the MIT Entrepreneurship Center are collaborating on a networking event for people in the Boston business community interested in establishing contacts within Russia. We will be hosting 39 students from the Russia’s premier business school called Skolkovo who will be in Boston between August and September to complete an internship at MIT. Skolkovo and MIT plan to make this visit an annual event. These students represent a promising entry point to businesses in Russia, which will be of great import to the Boston business community interested in establishing firms in Russia.

When: August 10, 7PM

Where: Building E52, 50 Memorial Drive, 6th floor, MIT Faculty Club, Dining Room 5.

Skolkovo School of Management  is a graduate business school located in Moscow, Russia. The school was founded in 2006 by Russian government in partnership with major Russian and international business leaders as a catalyst for transitioning the Russian economy from natural resources to innovation.  Today, Moscow Skolkovo is Russia’s top business school and an academic partner of the MIT Sloan School of Management.  The school holds the distinction of being known as the Russian Silicon Valley’s starting point.


World Cup Boston 2010

As sports played a significant role in unifying a newly democratic South Africa, World Cup Boston 2010 offers a similar opportunity to bring together divergent communities under the auspice of one singular and universal sport. World Cup Boston 2010 seeks to engage Bostonians in forging relationships across neighborhoods to build a stronger intercultural dialogue through a celebration of soccer, culture and diversity. A public, private and nonprofit collaboration, World Cup Boston 2010 is structured to raise awareness about the unifying power of soccer across cultural differences and to boost participation in sports amongst Boston Youth.

World Cup Boston 2010 enjoys the enthusiastic support of Mayor Thomas Menino and is a joint project of his office, and some of the most dynamic local institutions, including The Boston Children’s Museum, The Boston Public Library and The New England Revolution. South Africa Partners, a Boston-based non-profit facilitating partnership development between the United States and South Africa, is coordinating the initiative. It is an integral part of the Mayor’s Community Learning Initiative that integrates the work of the Boston Public Schools, Boston Centers for Youth and Families, and the Boston Public Library to enhance and enrich children’s education and opportunities.
