Students are invited to take part in the international, interdisciplinary scientific student conference Forum of Ideas 2025, which will be held on 8 May 2025.

This long-standing conference, now in its 22nd edition, serves as a unique platform for students to present their scientific research and artwork, and also to participate in a group exhibition. It offers an opportunity to share ideas and engage in discussions with the academic community from around the world.
