The XII International Smolny Student Conference
Application submission is completed
April 12-14, 2024
Under the arch
The arch is a place of transition. As an architectural form, the arch is a supporting structure and a pillar. It serves as an entrance and an exit at the same time, withdraws into itself, becoming a separate space.

Everything around us fills up our thoughts with uncertainty.
Following the arch, we may find a temporary shelter that allows us the necessary stability to reflect what is happening.

At the same time, the metaphorical arch connects outer and inner, old and new, native and foreign, pointing the way for a constant movement. So a researcher can broaden the horizons of knowledge without breaking up with tradition or leaving a solid ground behind.

So do we: not only count on the support of our community but also continue looking for explorers with the same spirit outside Smolny.
Smolny Student Conference is an annual interdisciplinary conference that brings together young scientists from around the world.

The program of the conference traditionally includes not only sectional reports, but also lectures of renowned scientists and artists, leading teachers and professionals, round tables and workshops.
