On February 28th, III Eurasian Youth Forum “The Eurasian Space in Modern Political Realities” was organized by the Faculty of International Relations and Politics, RANEPA St. Petersburg.
Local and international experts, researchers, teachers and students from various Russian universities came together to share experiences and address a wide range of issues: from traditional security and regional development trajectories of Eurasia countries to the correlation between political identities of the Greater Eurasia countries, as well as the development of Northern Eurasia and science tourism in the region.
Andrey Khlutkov, RANEPA St. Petersburg director welcomed the participants by particularly pointing out the Eurasian region is a truly unique territory where different cultures, traditions and approaches to development meet. Natalia Muyzinik, Dean of the Faculty of International Relations and Politics as a moderator underlined that Eurasia topics are one of the priority area of educational, scientific and project activities at the Faculty.
Students share:
It is crucial for a professional in international relations to learn new things and be capable to analyze what is going on. The forum provides an opportunity for an open discussion between young researchers and experts on Eurasian issues, and this is extremely valuable.

I am interested in science, and this forum opens up great opportunities for young researchers, and by participating I have learned a lot for my research.
Timur Khusnutdinov, St. Petersburg State University
The forum was held at a high level, it was great to see among high-ranking experts not only government officials but also business leaders, who presented on current international issues. In addition, students gained a unique opportunity to learn about internships options directly from top-managers. The “Diplomat” Student Club expresses gratitude to the organizers for inviting our members to join this large-scale event.
