  • Scientific St. Petersburg: See a Different Side to the City

    St. Petersburg isn’t just about the Palace Square, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, sphynxes, buns, and shawarma (the things it’s commonly associated with in Russia). It’s here that the Russian Academy of Sciences was founded and where the great Russian researchers, from Lomonosov and Mendeleev to Pavlov and Vavilov made their contributions to science. These days, the city is still a magnet for students and young scientists. In October, visitors and locals will get to explore St. Petersburg as a research city thanks to a new project by ITMO’s Center for Science Communication, developed with support from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
