On 8 June, the Institute of International Education of Voronezh State University held the first mathematical conference for international students studying on pre-university training programmes. 18 students gave papers about interesting mathematical projects they managed to prepare, even though they had had very little time to do it in. All the participants gave their papers in good Russian, using the special terminology of mathematics, informatics, and physics. They also demonstrated that they can defend their point of view and are ready to answer tricky questions. The conference was attended by a great number of pre-university and university students.
