For 27 years now, on February 8, our country has celebrated Russian Science Day. Science is not just facts, but research and discoveries that change lives. On Russian Science Day, MSUPE traditionally holds lectures that allow students to expand their knowledge.

Ready to peek into the very heart of science where discoveries are born? On Russian Science Day, MSUPE opens the doors of its most advanced laboratories and centers not for boring lectures, but for real immersions into the world of research.

These are not just excursions – they are an opportunity to:

• Touch science with your hands: See the unique equipment that is usually only used by scientists.
• Ask questions directly: Communicate with leading researchers and practitioners.
• Understand what modern psychology is about: From neurotechnologies to real help for children.
• Decide on your future: Perhaps right here you will find a topic for your project or your future profession.
