“The world of science and knowledge is constantly changing. Each new idea opens up new opportunities for understanding the world around us. My supervisor and I are planning to build a pilot plant for wastewater treatment”, — Ksenia Seromlyanova, the winner of the competition, a first-year Master's student, Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, an employee of the Common Use Centre "Physical and Chemical Research of New Materials, Substances and Catalytic Systems" at RUDN.

Each paper is an integrated research project on the theme of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Topics:

  • Integration of African students into the Russian educational space.
  • Kaposi's Sarcoma in Europe and Africa.
  • Ways of developing online education in Nigeria.
  • The potential of solar energy in Nigeria.

Ekaterina Markova, Associate Professor of the Department of Physical and Colloidal Chemistry at RUDN, plays an important role in my scientific activity. She motivates me to go forward and not to stop at what has been achieved. Step by step we move forward in the realisation of our project. In the future we plan to build a pilot plant for wastewater treatment. I am sure that it will make a significant contribution to environmental protection and provide access to clean water in the region,” —  Ksenia Seromlyanova.
