The conference had three sections: "Humanities", "Socio-economic sciences", "Arts and Culture". Reports of foreign students, undergraduates, graduate students from universities of Kazakhstan, China and universities of Novosibirsk were presented. The range of themes was very broad: from the problems of studying Russian in different countries to the problems of education and family, economic and cultural problems.
The reports were actively discussed, listeners asked questions, took part in friendly and constructive discussions about the development of languages, society, architecture, economy and culture.
We believe that skills and knowledge acquired by participants at the International Student Conference will develop, strengthen and will be embodied in articles and research papers in the future.
