RUDN University medics and economists took part in the XVIII International Festival of Youth Scientific and Technical Creativity "Ot Vinta"
Institute of Medicine
Project “International Research Team: Learning to Work Together (International Medical Science Incubator)”.
Academic supervisor — Elena Kaverina, Associate Professor of the Medical Institute.
What is the benefit of your project and why did you choose this topic?
On the one hand, we want to train scientists from school and university so that they can actively develop medical science at an international level. On the other hand, we propose to use the experience of international research teams. At university, we could work with students and scientists from different countries. Our team brings people from all over the world: Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, a true friendship of peoples! Working in an international research team gives us invaluable experience, each participant brings something different to the table.
What is your team’s “scientific” dream?
We want as many young people as possible to be actively involved in science, to become innovators. We want to make science attractive to a wide range of potential young scientists and create the necessary conditions for its development.
How will your project make the world a better place and help people?
The more scientists, the better quality of life for everyone due to their research and development. Science should be for life.

Faculty of Economics
Project “Russia on the African grain market: addressing the problem of food security”.
What is the benefit of your project and why did you choose this topic?
We looked at indicators of the current state of the global food security problem in Africa. We investigated which African countries are the most important to import Russian grains and what specific development needs to be considered.
What is your team’s “scientific” dream?
Our aim is to contribute to Russia’s international economic relations with Africa.
How will your project make the world a better place and help people?
Access to safe food is a basic human right, with priority given to the most vulnerable populations. Beyond basic nutrition, food security is linked to economic stability, public health, human empowerment, and the environment.

RUDN hosted the competition "On the Pages of the Coursework". Twenty-five papers were recognised, 16 of them received the highest marks. One of the winners of the competition is Ravuri Priyamsha Lakhana from India (VI year, "Medical Business", Medical Institute). She researched non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and spoke about who is at risk and what is needed for early diagnosis.
Every year RUDN holds a competition of scientific student works "Joint Start: Let's do science together". The University provides scholarships for the projects of young scientists and student associations. All developments are practice-oriented and have the potential for further commercialization.
Create a project about the problems of atmospheric air, write an article about the dangers of microplastics, talk to schoolchildren about saving resources at home... Or why are students engaged in environmental education?
