In Sochi, in the Sirius Park of Culture and Science, from November 27 to 29, there were held the finals of the Your Move First All-Russian student contest of the Russia – Land of Opportunities presidential platform. At that time, the participants were designing the university of the future, responding to "mega-challenges" – strategically important tasks for modern youth and Russian universities. At the end of it, the winners were announced, including a 4th-year student at the Institute of Physics, SSU, Yevgenii Sozonov.
‘It was very difficult to understand what happened. At the moment when I was handed this plate, I began to doubt. Did they really call my name? Is it exactly me? But after a few seconds, doubts disappeared, and extraordinary emotions provoked in me. I was incredibly glad that I did a lot more and exceeded my expectations,’ Yevgenii Sozonov shared his impressions.
In addition, a freshman of the Faculty of Sociology, an activist of the Undergraduate and Graduate Council Vladislav Bykov worked as a volunteer in the logistics service of the competition.
Each winner received a 1,000,000 rubles prize, which can be used for training, launching a start-up, or improving housing conditions.
