Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Anna Novozhilova informed about how the final stage of the Olympiad will be held. All participants must complete one version of the task. The answers should be entered on forms issued by the credentials committee.

Head of the Department of Construction Management Roman Motylev urged students not to stop there, to continue their education in master's and PhD programs. Roman Vladimirovich also spoke about the department he heads, which is world famous thanks to Professor Viktor Afanasyev (1923-2002), the founder of the St Petersburg (Leningrad) school of continuous construction.
