On behalf of the Faculty of Geography of Lomonosov Moscow State University, I am delighted to warmly welcome you to this wonderful event. The Olympiad brings together young people who are passionate about understanding the world – those who are curious about our planet and how everything within it is interconnected.
Your interest in geography is a powerful force that helps us gain a deeper understanding of the world around us and contribute to making it a better place.
I wish you inspiration, new friendships, and unforgettable experiences! May your participation in the Olympiad open new horizons, guide you on your path in science and in life. Geography is more than just a science – it is a journey of discovering the world, caring for it, and driving positive change.
