Kazan University has working relationships with Seoul National University, Korea University, Kukmin University, Incheon University, Busan University, Sangmyeong University, and Gimcheon University. 12 to 14 best students are sent on short-term language programs to South Korea each semester.

The Center holds educational and cultural events, among which are concerts, seminars, festivals of Korean culture, and competitions. December 2015, for instance, was marked by the Russian National Korean Language Contest for high schoolers and university students.
