Студенты участвуют в программах магистерской подготовки в Ульмском университете или выполняют магистерские диссертации под совместным руководством. Выпускники магистратуры СибГАУ учатся в аспирантуре Ульмского университета. Совместно организованы международные научные семинары и конференции.
Ключевые слова: международное сотрудничество, диалоговые системы, системный анализ, программа обмена.
Nowadays any high-level scientific research and education cannot be performed successfully without international cooperation. The interaction between international research groups may also improve the quality of education, namely of jointly performed Bachelor and Master thesis projects. A successful example of such an international cooperation is the interaction between Ulm University (UUlm) and Siberian State Aerospace University (SibSAU). This cooperation has started more than 20 years ago. Its scientific kernel is the interaction between the Dialogue Systems Group at UUlm and the Department of System Analysis and Operation Research at SibSAU. The groups are respectively coordinated by Prof. Wolfgang Minker and Prof. Eugene Semenkin. Administrative support is granted
by Dr. Reinhold Lucker, Director of International Office at UUlm and Anna Voroshilova, Vice-Rector on international co-operation of Siberian State Aerospace University.
The Department of System Analysis and Operation Research at SibSAU provides fundamental results in the field of data mining and machine learning. The main research topics include the automatic design of data analysis technologies using self-tuning and self-adaptive evolutionary [1; 2] and bio-inspired [3] optimization algorithms. The main research field of the Dialogue System Group at UUlm is the development and evaluation of spoken dialogue systems [4]. Such systems allow human users to interact with artificial systems (mobile phones, computers, cars, etc.) in a natural and

unconstrained way. Any effective design of such a spoken dialogue systems is closely related to effective speech analysis: speech [5] and emotion recognition [6], speaker identification, conversation topic categorization, opinion mining [7], and interaction quality modeling [8]. One possibility to improve the speech analysis process may be found in an application of advanced machine learning algorithms and data mining techniques. In this respect the scientific cooperation between UUlm and SibSAU offers an excellent framework.
Both research institutions have identified different ways to implement the cooperation: exchange programs for students, Ph.D. students and lecturers, joint scientific projects, and joint scientific events.
Since 2003 the Dialogue Systems Group has hosted several graduated master students from the Department of System Analysis and Operation Research for their Ph. D. thesis work. One of them is already graduated and three other students are almost ready for the promotion. Three more Ph. D. students are currently working on their scientific projects.
Since 2012 both research groups have been participating in the DAAD Euler program for master students. This program provides financial support for Master students from SibSAU to work throughout a period of two terms under scientific supervision from UUlm. The Master students from SibSAU perform scientific projects and improve their German language skills. The supervisors are advanced Ph. D. students and the Master student projects match with the Ph.D. thesis topics of the corresponding supervisors. The students travel to UUlm for one month towards the end of the program. Throughout their stay they finish their projects and present the results. Three Euler students have participated in the program in 2012, five students in 2013, six in 2014 and there will be five more students enrolled in 2015.
Other exchange programs exist for graduate students, Ph. D. students, and lecturers or postdocs with support of their universities, the DAAD, as well as different Russian and German funding schemes. In total, more than ten Ph.D. students and more than 20 Master students from SibSAU have stayed at UUlm for one month up to one year. 15 Bachelor students from SibSAU have been graduated as Master students at UUlm. Furthermore, lecturers and professors from both universities have been visiting each other giving lectures, seminars, or presentations.
After a long-time cooperation the first in a series of annual joint special workshops has been was established in 2012, the International Workshop on Mathematical Models and their Applications (IWMMA). The best papers from the workshop are published at the scientific journal of SibSAU. In 2014 a Special Session on Adaptive Stochastic Algorithms and their Applications at Human-Machine Interfaces (ASAAHMI 2014) based on the cooperation between the universities has been organized by researchers from both universities within the 11th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO 2014) in Vienna, Austria. Papers from this special session ([9-13]) and also from the main conference track ([14; 15]) are indexed for scientific publication systems such as Scopus.
The cooperation provides a significant number of joint scientific projects and research activities. We hope that our successful cooperation will be continued and further developed in the future.

The importance of university international cooperation according to the priorities of higher education development in Russia is shown. Major prospects and goals for further development of international cooperation of Siberian State Aerospace University in accordance with the priorities which face Russian higher educational institutions at the present moment are demonstrated.
Keywords: internationalization of higher education, international cooperation of higher educational institutions, mobility, export of educational services.
Интернационализация высшего образования в России приобретает в последнее время все более широкий характер, требуя усиления различных сфер деятельности университетов в области развития международного сотрудничества. Как справедливо подчеркивается в документах первой Всемирной конференции по высшему образованию, «высшее образование следует рассматривать как общее достояние, а международное сотрудничество и обмены являются основными путями развития высшего образования во всем мире» [1]. Таким образом, становится очевидным, что современный этап развития образовательной системы настоятельно диктует необходимость участия любого вуза в международной деятельности, что
подтверждается включением в оценку эффективности деятельности всех высших учебных заведений таких показателей, как контингент иностранных студентов, обучающихся и закончивших обучение в вузе по программам высшего образования; численность иностранных аспирантов; количество иностранных студентов и студентов российского вуза, принявших участие в программах академической мобильности; объем средств от образовательной деятельности, полученный от иностранных граждан, и объем средств на выполнение НИОКР, полученный из иностранных источников.
Основополагающими принципами организации международной деятельности высшей школы являют-
