Australian Education International (AEI) launched its Russian
- Selecting Russian education agents to visit Australia and meet with counterparts at participating institutions and receive training in the student visa application process;
- Organising national tour of Russia for selected Australian education institutions.
Austrade helped plan and carry out both stages of this pilot project. The first stage involved taking six Russian education agents to Australia, where they visited education institutions and other project members of and received training from DIMIA officials in Canberra and Adelaide.
Then in April 2005, 12 representatives from Australian education institutions together with AEI representatives travelled to Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Moscow and St. Petersburg to meet with local agents and discuss potential partnerships with local institutions. Austrade's market intelligence and logistical support was particularly critical because AEI does not have any direct representation in the Russian market.
