The winning groups started presenting their works to the University management, academic staff, as well as students interested in the event. All the topics had novelty and relevance, so there was a heated discussion after each presentation. NUACA Rector Y. Vardanyan attached importance to the implemented works, emphasizing especially the involvement of students in such scientific research. The Rector noted that the internal scientific grant competitions will be continuous, encouraging the joint and collaborative work of students, young scientists and professors.
