Share Last month’s 10th Congress of Young Scientists included a session initiated by ITMO’s Center for Inclusive Education. Students from all across Russia – from Murmansk to Yekaterinburg – presented projects that focus on improving the lives of people with disabilities. Svetlana Gnezdilova, head of the Center for Inclusive Education, believes that participation in the event greatly motivates students with disabilities towards research activities. “Such students are eager to contribute to society. Seeing their ideas and innovations do good in the world motivates them to move forward. Participation in the Congress is also a great chance for them to practice public speaking, improve their research, and test their theses ideas,” she explains.
