As the PSU International Relations Department emphasized, participation in such a big event is a good opportunity for a higher education institution to announce itself to the European scientific community. It is also an opportunity to study the European universities' experience in switching to a three-stage education system. Also, close cooperation for implementation of educational and scientific projects can be established, summer schools and language programs can be created there.
