PSU summarized the results of the "Service-Learning" program.

Pyatigorsk State University summarized the interim results of the "Service-Learning" program for the 2025-2026 academic year. During this period, students developed approximately 30 social projects commissioned by educational institutions, public organizations, and government agencies. All social projects were posted on the DOBRO.RF platform, confirming their social significance and openness.

The results of the work were reviewed at a meeting of the PSU Expert Council chaired by Rector Alexander Pavlovich Gorbunov. As a result of the program's implementation, 23 strategic cooperation agreements were signed with partner organizations, and licensing agreements securing the authors' intellectual property rights were executed for each project.

The "Service-Learning" program helps students apply their acquired knowledge in practice, implement socially significant projects, and contribute to the development of the region by combining education, professional training, and public service.
