Last November the King's Russia Institute, with support from the School of Security Studies and their affiliates around the Faculty, was granted a major tender to train UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office and other HMG staff on Russian and Eurasian affairs.

Training will be done through a combination of classroom teaching and podcasts. The initial contract is worth approximately £100k over two years and is potentially extendable for a further year.

We're proud of our Russia and Eurasia expertise, and it’s heartening that the FCO recognises this.
