Dear participants, members of the jury and all those who showed interest in the competition for grants from the S.Y. Witte Moscow University!

We are sharing with you a few moments of the process of selecting the best of the best. Our jury, consisting of experienced experts and scientists, argued for a long time over a cup of tea and conducted a thorough analysis of each submitted application. Each project is unique, interesting and covers various aspects of sustainable development. The process of selecting the winners took a long time, because the level of research presented was high and each project deserved careful consideration.

The jury agreed on how difficult it was to identify the leaders in each category. Each participant deserves recognition for their work and contribution to various areas of sustainable development. We would like to thank all the participants for their dedication and innovative approaches.

Nevertheless, we regret to announce that it was originally planned to provide 8 grants in the amount of 250,000 rubles each, but in the end, the decision of the founder established the allocation of only 6 grants.

Congratulations to the winners:

1. NATALIA E. SERDITOVA (Tver State University): "Interactive electronic flipbook "Sustainable Tomorrow: a guide to climate change, mitigation, adaptation strategies".
