We teach students to be independent, and accelerators of this kind help students unleash their creative potential, help them understand where they can be strong and successful. Young people must believe that they can do anything, that all roads are open to them. These guys want to develop. There will be three winners, and only three teams will receive certificates, but this does not mean that those who are not among the top three winners today will be left out somewhere. Participants in this complex, multi-stage accelerator will be maximally involved in many projects related to the development of the university. Special words of gratitude to our respected partners — RNKB bank for your constant support of our students.
