New Iberoamerican studies festival at the Neva River

For almost a quarter of a century the northern capital of Russia has hosted the best representatives of different schools of Russian and foreign Ibero-American studies at the Saint-Petersburg University. Time is moving forward, the topics are changing, and the forms of events are varying, but one thing remains unchanged: interest in participating in the International Forum "Russia and Iberoamerica in a Turbulent World: from common Challenges to joint Solutions", which has converted into the largest meeting of researchers from the Iberoamerican world. This year the forum had about 900 speakers from 30 countries, numerous keynote speakers and a lot of thematic panels and round tables reflecting the key issues of contemporary Ibero-American studies. The ever-growing interest of young people in research work in the field of Ibero-American studies is another peculiarity of this academic event.
