Mongolia
Mongolia, one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, is known for its vast, rugged landscapes and nomadic culture. A landlocked country bordering China and Russia, with extreme climatic conditions and rich in mineral resources, Mongolia is characterized by challenging topography. Almost half of the population lives in the countryside - many as herders. In the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, one will find Genghis Khan Square, which was named after the famous founder of the Mongol Empire in the 13th and 14th centuries, as well as our partner university, the National University of Mongolia.
