On October 6-7, VII International Youth Forum “Anti-Сounterfeit-M” hosted by the Belarusian State University of Physical Culture took place in Minsk.

The event, as a part of XII International Forum Anti-Counterfeit-2025, focused on current issues of protecting the EAEU market from counterfeit products, gathered students from the leading universities of EAEU country members, including RANEPA St. Petersburg students — the winners of the qualifying stage.

On the first day students divided into 4 groups searched for and identified counterfeit products on marketplaces. On the second day, they defended their research outcomes and proposed anti-counterfeiting solutions.
