The inter-university case championship "Bridge Through Codes: A Scientific Tour as a Dialogue of Regions" has kicked off at PSU.

Students from PSU and KBSU have teamed up to develop an innovative route in popular science tourism that will connect the Caucasian Mineral Waters and Elbrus regions.

The three-day intensive course includes strategic sessions, workshops with experts, and online project development. The final round will be held at KBSU's Elbrus Educational and Scientific Complex, where teams will present their solutions to a jury of representatives from the tourism industry, academia, and government.

"Bridge Through Codes" is an opportunity for students to create a tourism product from scratch and propose ideas that can strengthen popular science tourism throughout the region.
