BRICS Universities League

BRICS Universities League is a consortium of leading research universities from BRICS countries including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Initiated in Shanghai on July 6, 2013, the League aims to become a platform for academic and expert cooperation, comparative research, and international educational projects.[1] In October 2015, around 40 outstanding universities from the five BRICS countries gathered in Beijing Normal University to hold the BRICS Universities Presidents Forum. After this Forum, the participating universities declared the Beijing Consensus, and they decided to establish the BRICS Universities League. The League Secretariat is located in Beijing Normal University, with the BNU as a leading university in terms of BRICS higher education and academic cooperation. The League is expanding to attract more and more outstanding BRICS universities to participate in its activities. The BRICS Universities League has performed as a strategic pillar for the BRICS cooperation.

gollark: On """professional""""" sites there would be giant headers for no apparent reason, irrelevant slow-to-load images, and tons of cookie popups.
gollark: I have a 1.1KB blob of CSS styling everything and an optional user theming thing which just injects CSS.
gollark: It's small enough to practically inline so I get a performance boost.
gollark: I don't like the gibsonoformic "essentially just plain HTML" thing entirely, so I wrote mine to have a few nice things like minor changes to lists and indentation, a 40em or something limit to make it narrower on desktop for easier reading, that sort of thing.
gollark: I personally handwrite all my CSS and my stuff looks fine. If I subscribed to one of the trendy "design languages" this could be less practical.
