The first agreement of cooperation between ISTU and BUT was signed in 2002 and resigned in 2007 and 2012, with bilateral agreements to follow, and currently 16 faculties and 1 branch from both sides are actively involved in the collaboration. Bynow, over hundred undergraduate and postgraduate students had internships and studied in Russia and Czech Republic.

It should be pointed out that Boris Yakimovich has been awarded the title Doctor Honoris Causa by two more foreign partner universities – Alexander Dubček University of Trenčín, Slovakia and Belorussian National Technical University. So this title is the third already.
