For the first time, Nizhny Novgorod will host the International Science Battle.Researchers from Palestine, Gabon, Ecuador, Egypt, Nigeria, and Ghana who are working in Nizhny Novgorod will gather on the same stage at the Arsenal (Kremlin, Building 6) on October 15, at 18:30.

The event is organised by Lobachevsky University and the Lobachevsky Lab Science Park. The Science Battle is supported by the federal programme"Priority 2030".

Each of the six participants will have just ten minutes to present their research in an engaging and accessible manner. After each presentation, the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions, and at the end of the evening, the winner will be determined by applause measured with a sound meter.
