Polytechnic University hosted a seminar for international students on «Terrorism is a threat to society». The event brought together leading experts who delivered warnings on the importance of vigilance and awareness in today’s world.

The participants were welcomed by Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies of SPbPU: The world around us is huge and complex, and every day it becomes even more confusing.

To make sense of it, you need to know where threats can come from, how they are categorized and how to respond to them.
