Today, the United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus welcomed a delegation from China. Six representatives from the College of Electronic Science and Technology of the National University of Defense Technology of China, arriving from Changsha (Hunan Province), arrived for 14 days to provide and receive consulting services and promote academic exchange.

The Chinese group included both experienced faculty and future researchers:

• Yu Lei, instructor and lecturer;
• Yang Jiacheng, undergraduate student;
• He Lida, undergraduate student;
• Xu Yifeng, graduate student;
• Yang Ying, graduate student;
• Tang Shenzhong, graduate students.

The internship program is designed for total immersion, from theoretical lectures to serious practical work. Sergey Kasanin, Deputy Director General for Research, welcomed the interns. He noted the strategic importance of such visits for strengthening bilateral ties between the scientific schools of Belarus and China. "The main goal is to adopt the knowledge, skills, and abilities of our employees. And secondly, to become acquainted with the culture and national cuisine of the Republic of Belarus. We will do everything you liked about our country!" he emphasized.

The educational process for postgraduate students will be conducted under the guidance of recognized experts:

• Alexander  Tuzikov, Head of the Laboratory of Mathematical Cybernetics, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor;
• Vasily Kovalev, Leading Researcher, PhD, Associate Professor;
• Eduard Snezhko, Head of the Laboratory of Biomedical Image Analysis, PhD;
• Anna Karpenko, Researcher at the Laboratory of Mathematical Cybernetics.

The first day of the internship set a high intensity. The program doesn't allow for a relaxed adaptation period: the first day's classes will conclude with serious laboratory work, allowing the Chinese specialists to immediately immerse themselves in real-world research processes.

The delegation has two weeks of intensive scientific collaboration ahead. This visit is expected to result not only in the participants acquiring new competencies but also in specific joint projects in cybersecurity, big data processing, and artificial intelligence, which scientists from both countries are actively working on. The preparation of a scientific article is planned for completion of the training.
