«According to ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association), more
than 12,500 events are held annually worldwide, and most of these events are
science congresses, fora and symposia. One of the key objectives of the RCB is
to set the trend on increasing the number of science and medicine-themed events

achieved by developing active interaction with the Russian science community
