In the 6th of November, VI International Youth Forum “Anti-Сounterfeit-M” hosted by Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation took place in Moscow.

The event focused on current issues of protecting the EAEU market from counterfeit products, gathered over 100 participants including RANEPA St. Petersburg students — the winners of the scientific work competition hosted by RANEPA St. Petersburg Faculty of Security and Customs in the framework of the «Youth for a Civilized Business» conference held in September.

Our students shared:

For me, such a high-level forum was a discovery enabling to learn a lot of new and useful information, valuable both for a future career in customs, and, in general, for broadening my horizons which is much needed nowadays as well. I also took part in a business game which leaved only a positive feeling.

It is extremely valuable to be in a community of like-minded people who care about the development of our country…
