In a video conference held December 10, UNCTAD presented its World Investment Report 2007 to two Russian Vi member universities actively engaged in trade and investment training and research - the State University Higher School of Economics (HSE), Moscow, and St. Petersburg State University.
In addition to masters students and staff from the two universities, the videoconference gathered a varied audience that included government representatives (Ministry of Economic Development and Trade in Moscow, and Geneva's Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation), the press (two daily newspapers in Moscow and a TV channel in St. Petersburg) and the Director of the British Council office in St. Petersburg, whose facilities hosted the event.
The videoconference was moderated by Tatiana Isachenko, Vi coordinator at HSE, Olga Trofimenko from St. Petersburg State University, and Vlasta Macku, Chief of the Virtual Institute.
