The conference is organized by English Language Department No. 1 of the School of International Relations with the support of the European Studies Institute.

The program will feature a number of workshops hosted by leading specialists in the field. The highlights will include a presentation of the I-Trainium software used by MGIMO University and a master class on how to use it in teaching foreign languages.
