On 18 March a 10-day long marathon of aptitude tests finally drew to a close. The distant format of the tests allowed for the participation of the candidates from all around Russia, and they didn’t even have to halt their work or studies. We are pleased that the graduates of the SCIT preparatory course showed good results, and those of them who ventured to try their luck now successfully passed all the tests and were recommended for study. The recommended for study candidates received recommendations from the SCIT examination board members to work on their foreign languages and Russian, follow the nes and expand the background knowledge. We express our sincere gratitude to Kirill Kasyanov, Head of the Russian booth at UNON, for his active participation in the work of the examination board as an observer. We hope that all selected candidates will come in September motivated and determined to reach new goals. Congratulations!
