This year, the Eurasian Youth Economic Forum (EYEF) promises to be the largest in its history—for the first time, it will encompass 14 international platforms. Among the new co-organizers are leading universities from Serbia, China, and Sri Lanka.

The forum, now in its 15th iteration, will once again provide opportunities for young people to present their projects internationally, connect with top experts, and receive support for scientific and business initiatives. To date, over 16,000 participants from 105 countries have applied to take part.

They will discuss the theme “Eurasian Synergy: Multipolarity – Integration – Dialogue of Civilizations.” Events will include a diplomatic forum, a meeting of ambassadors with students, a rectors’ forum, a media forum, and even a rapid chess tournament named “Ural Rook” in honor of Anatoly Karpov.

In Russia, the central venue will remain the Ural State University of Economics in Yekaterinburg. Additionally, key universities traditionally participating include Belarus State Economic University, Tashkent State Economic University, Gumilev Eurasian National University, Azerbaijan State Economic University, and many others.

Registration for the event is open until March 20 on the forum’s official website.
