“Saint-Petersburg is a city of students, there are more than 70 universities and study about 320000 students – the winner of The prize Maxim Victorovich Ermachkov comments, - that’s why it is important when the culture of the city enriches students, and new knowledge that is formed in each university is available to the residents of the city. It is necessary to make universities more open to Saint-Petersburg residents, and the “Boiling points” format is perfect for this. The education of the individual and the professional is possible only in the right environment and within the professional community. For effective work, it is necessary to properly design opening physical university sites, taking into account the educational and information space of universities. And I am sure that me and my colleagues from other "Boiling Points" manage to do this”.
