International programmes at Sechenov: year’s results
2020 has highlighted the options of online education, and Sechenov has gone above and beyond to succeed in this area.
This year has been a very difficult one for many. Education and research organisations have switched to online forms of interaction — for the protection of the students and staff. Sechenov University was no exception, and its events, conferences, lectures, and courses have moved online for the first time. Here we would like to give a summary of our online milestones — international schools that took place at Sechenov from September to December.
