They have participated in numerous scientific conferences and Russian and foreign internship programs in research centers of Germany, France, Switzerland, Denmark and other countries.
The ISC RAS Young Scientists' Council is the initiator and organizer of the annual All-Russian School-Conference of Young Scientists "Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry of Liquid Phase Systems" ("Krestov Readings").
More than 270 young scientists, post-graduate students and senior undergraduate students of academic institutes, state research centers and universities and research-based enterprises took part in the latest XI All-Russian School-Conference of Young Scientists "Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry of Liquid Phase Systems" ("Krestov Readings-2017") that was held in Ivanovo in 2017. The participants made 10 plenary and 68 oral reports and 75 poster presentations.
Over the years, the conference has attracted participants from Moscow and Moscow region, St Petersburg, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Arkhangelsk, Syktyvkar, Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan, Chelyabinsk, Ekaterinburg, Rostov-On-Don, Penza, Kemerovo, Barnaul, Yerevan, Yoshkar-Ola, Tyumen, Voronezh, Tver, Vladimir, Irkutsk, Saratov, Samara, Kursk, Tomsk and other places, as well as neighbouring (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan) and more distant countries.
Since December 2016, the ISC RAS Young Scientists' Council has regularly arranged scientific seminars for young scientists. The seminars allow young scientists to exchange their ideas, knowledge and opinions about modern problems of various fields of science and their research in particular, to develop professionally and make new professional and personal contacts. The seminars are open to everyone, regardless of their affiliation with the ISC RAS.
Among the active participants of the seminars are young scientists of the ISC RAS, Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology, Ivanovo State University and other Russian and foreign research organizations. The seminar timetable and application forms for participants can be found on the ISC RAS website http://www.isc-ras.ru/en or in the ISC RAS Young Scientists' Council group in VKontakte https://vk.com/isc_ras.
