Outcomes of Student Research Socialization Festival Summarized

The Student Research Socialization Festival has been held at Astrakhan State University.

The event arranged by the Students’ Scientific Council was held for the 3rd time. Students, members of staff, and kids studying at secondary schools visited the event. The exposition included 51 projects developed by over 400 students of all the Departments of our University. The visitors could learn about their biological age, take part in a master class in the Turkmen historic dance, taste the marshmallow cooked according to a new unique recipe, pass thru a sociological quest, etc.

Panel discussion, which was of profound interest for our students, took place on the 2nd day of the Festival. The discussion concerned issues of the modern mass culture; professors of our Institute of Humanities moderated it. Another theme to discuss was world practices in science and education; it was moderated by our professors with rich experience of training abroad.

The Festival was over with the most astonishing event – a contest of stand-up science. After that, the organizing committee summarized the outcomes of the Festival.
