The Russian House in Dhaka has invited Bangladeshi students and young researchers to participate in the "Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project" International Olympiad to secure tuition-free higher education and research opportunities at top Russian universities.

The competition is organized by the Association of Global Universities in Russia, in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and Rossotrudnichestvo.

Opportunities are available across four academic tracks—Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, and Postdoctoral—spanning 14 subjects, including Engineering, Medicine, Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Economics, and Humanities.

Selected candidates who meet the specified qualifications and criteria may enroll in degree programs taught in English or Russian without paying tuition fees.

Furthermore, eligible winners selected for specific Russian-taught programs under government grants may receive additional benefits, including travel allowances, accommodation, health insurance, and a monthly stipend.

The Postdoctoral track offers candidates the opportunity to engage in advanced research under the supervision of experienced scientists.

Since its launch in 2017, more than 618,000 participants from over 200 countries have competed in the Olympiad, with over 16,700 emerging as winners or runners-up.
