On January 30, 2026, the second general online meeting of the Vernadsky Foundation scholarship holders was held. This year, the format of the event was updated, i.e. each participant of the program had the opportunity to come up with a short story about his or her achievements and plans for the coming period. The webinar was opened by program curator Natalia Mironova. Sixteen fellows made presentations, sharing their successes in scientific, project and educational activities.

Anna Slavskaya, the Foundation’s communications manager, also addressed the participants. The the program curators told the students about the upcoming key events, among which special attention was paid to preparations for the XIII All-Russian Nature Festival “Pristine Russia”, as well as other partner events.

The reports of the heads of the thematic areas of the scholarship program became an important part of the meeting. Their presentations made it possible to coordinate further work and identify priorities for the current year. The meeting was productive, strengthening the interaction between the fellows and the program management.
