The Seminar was organized on the high level. There was a lot of useful information, the communication with colleagues, the excellent service support. It is desirable to thank the organizers for the fast, operative solution of arising questions.

Everything was wonderful: beginning from the meeting, attentive attitude and care for us from our Head – Nadezhda Ivanovna Artyemyuck.

I would formulate the total impression of the seminar like that: I liked the seminar first of all for its diversification. There were concrete practical advices, which can be used at once, as well as the information for the future, the use of which is so far unknown, but its value and utility are felt very clearly. In general, the horizon of my knowledge became appreciably broader after the seminar!

I’ve looked at many things with new eyes. I don’t hesitate that it will have the practical output. The seminar became for me personally the stimulus for the new stage in my professional life.

After the seminar, as after the reading a good, deep book, there were arisen the very positive feeling, confidence in the correctness of the elected way and the understanding that I’m not alone in this way and nearby are not the casual people but the intellectuals, professionals in their area, open for discussions and always ready to render a feasible help.

After such inspiring speeches, spoken at the seminar, ideas and enthusiasm are overflowing. The situation when your own problems are discussing by the people, for whom all these questions are also significant, helps a lot to realize again how interesting and important your everyday work can be.  Now I have grandiose plans and, even after some time, the emotions after the seminar help to overcome difficulties of everyday life.

The seminar has made a very favorable impression.

Professor Stolyarov I.D.
