The main goal of the event is to give schoolchildren from different counties and regions of Russia an opportunity to carry out express-projects in various fields of science and technology.

The students work at the projects in international teams (the working language is English) and are supposed to complete their works within 5 days. Then the projects are presented to a committee of experts and other participants of the IRS.

The original design of the projects is developed by tutors - young scientists from Russia and other countries - using modern methods of research.
