Within the framework of the lecture, the participants talked about the models of building a business, the factors influencing the conduct of business, discussed the conditions for the production and sale of products.

This event was held by the project office of international cooperation and development of the Astrakhan State University.

In 2020, Astrakhan State University launched the International Online Against COVID-19 project. The main goal of the project is to support international academic cooperation between partner universities in the difficult period of the coronavirus pandemic, create a single international educational space and help maintain student motivation to study. Our university has been cooperating with ASU for many years. The essence of the project is that students and teachers of ASU and foreign partner universities participate in joint lectures, webinars, discussion platforms and remote meetings on the Leader-ID platform of the ASU Boiling Point Center.

Such online meetings can be either one-time or represent a series of lectures, webinars on one topic. Topics for discussion correspond to current scientific research and educational trajectories of partner universities, are interesting to both students and teachers.

The coronavirus pandemic turned out to be a difficult test for the international community: the global international space was again divided. Such meetings help us to become a part of the International Online Against COVID-19 project and to “open up” the borders between our countries!

This meeting was attended by over 50 students and teachers of partner universities from Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Iran, Italy and France.
