VK, Skillbox and FinU are participating in a project to launch a new educational platform with online courses from leading Russian universities for the development of modern hybrid and distance learning forms. The platform will be available to users from all regions of Russia and from neighboring countries. At the end of the training, students will receive certificates confirming the completion of the courses and the acquired skills.
The new educational platform will feature several dozen courses of the FinU lasting from four weeks to three months. Users will be able to remotely master law, economics, management, programming, foreign languages and other disciplines. The authors of the courses are the best teachers and researchers. The functionality of the platform assumes a variety of content formats for students and broad opportunities for universities.

Bratarchuk, L. Alexandrova, S. Gusev) and the administration of Skillbox (N. Galkina, V. Ustimenko, D. Klyakhin, V. Ioffe).
