The School is an initiative of creative enthusiasts organizing research projects for teenagers.

Large part of the School work was obtained by the researches in profile groups. There were 8 international teams and students had been elaborating in them within five days.  Within the School days there were also taken lectures in the field of social problems, excursions to Kremlin, Tretyakov Gallery, Museum of Lomonosov Moscow State University and to the Museum of Earth.

There were three main tasks set up before   International Research School:

1.  To develop and organize project team work in humanitarian and natural fields.
2. To bring about cross-cultural communication.
3. To develop and high up the level of English for people involved in a project and add special scientific terms to active vocabulary. 

During the first two days there were team-building trainings developed for the School by psychological patronage department of Moscow State Center for Youth. Students from all over Russia and other countries had to become friends and find things in common. Trainings and games had to create atmosphere and prepare for further mutual work.

There were also young  specialists from abroad involved: Konstantinos Nikolantonakis from Greek University of Western Makedonia, Elena Karkazi from Northern Collage of Thessaloniki,  Fernando Solis Gonzalez and Juan Alberto Guevara  from Puebla Autonomous University (BUAP) and  Salome Matos  from Lisbon University. During two months before the beginning of the School tutors and assistants jointly had been working out goals, methods and tasks for their future projects.             

Fernando Solis Gonzalez from Mexico offered the project in robotics. Designing and programming robots is one of the most perspective approaches in engineering and the participants had opportunity to take part in this workshop. The student of Popular Autonomous University of the State of
Puebla (UPAEP), Fernando Solis Gonzalez brought big rucksack full of modules for robots designing. Students experienced robotics with great interest. Pavel An worked  as Fernando's  assistant, a student of Pedagogical University, physics and IT .

Denis Denisenko, a specialist from the Institute of Space Researches of the Russian Academy of Science, developed a project in the field of astronomy. The research was taken jointly with Salome Matos - a student of Lisbon University. The idea of his project was to introduce binary stars systems and other astronomy objects and phenomenon. 

Ekaterina Spiridonova  from Moscow State Linguistic  University and Konstantinos Nikolantonakis - a tutor of epistemology (University of Western Macedonia) developed and realized a linguistic research.
