Dmitry Arsenyev, SPbPU Vice-Rector for International Affairs, delivered a welcoming speech. He congratulated the graduate students and emphasized the competition's importance for developing the university's scientific potential.
The BigPhD competition is our ambitious initiative, which we've been purposefully developing as part of the Priority 2030 program.
