Irina Chernykh, PhD student of the International Law Department (RUDN University) became a participant of Young Lawyers' Symposium (YLS)
On the
On the 23 of March, European Center for Space Law held the Scientific and Practical Forum on Topical Issues of Space Law and Policy. Theorists and practitioners working in all fields of the space sector took part in it. Theme of the Forum in 2018: “Questions of cyber attacks in space: legal solutions”, within the framework of which two sections were held: “Cyber-attacks and international law” and “A look into the future: how to identify the threats of cyber attacks in the field of space activities?”.
The European Centre for Space Law (ECSL) brought together young scholars and professionals to take part in the third edition of the Young Lawyers’ Symposium (YLS), which had been organised on the 24 of March 2018 at ESA Head Quarter in Paris.The aim of the Young Lawyers’ Symposium was to allow for early career scholars and professionals to present on a space law related topic in an international forum, exchange ideas and network amongst themselves.The Young Lawyers’ Symposium 2018 centred around three themed sections, considered legal aspect relating to: Space debris“, “Reusable launchers, spacecraft and maintenance in orbit”, “Future use of outer space”.
Such well-known scientists of international space law as S. Markisio, Professor Frans von der Dunk (Director Public Relations of the International Institute of Space Law (IISL), Member of the Board of the European Centre for Space Law (ECSL), and Member for the Netherlands in the International Law Association’s (ILA) Committee on Space Law; M. Rossini, S. Moise, Christian Brünner (since 1980 is Full Professor at the Department for Austrian, European and Comparative Public Law, Political Sciences and Public Administration, University of Graz. He founded in 2001 the National Point of Contact (NPOC) in Austria of the European Center for Space Law (ECSL) and many others took part in the work of the Forum and the Symposium. Besides, representatives NATO, ESA and other enterprises in the field of security.
Biologists from RUDN University working together with their colleagues from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Flax studied the genes that determine the fatty acid composition in flaxseed oil and identified polymorphisms in six of them. The team also found out what gene variations could extend the shelf life of flaxseed oil. This data can be used to improve the genetic selection of new flax breeds. The results were published in the BMC Plant Biology journal.
The soils of urban gardens and vegetable patches contain a lot of toxicants (including lead and arsenic) in high concentrations which can be harmful to the health of children and people with chronic diseases. A team of soil scientists from RUDN University suggested a remediation method developed based on data collected in a garden of Brooklyn (NY, U.S.).

A team of biologists analyzed soil samples from a pasture and a regularly mowed meadow and found out that grazing lets more carbon get into the soil than mowing. This, in turn, improves the carbon cycle and makes microorganisms more efficient.
