For almost a quarter of a century the northern capital of Russia has hosted the best representatives of different schools of Russian and foreign Ibero-American studies at the Saint-Petersburg State University. Time is moving forward, the topics are changing, and the forms of events are varying, but one thing remains unchanged: interest in participating in the International Forum Russia and Ibero-America in a Turbulent World: from common Challenges to joint Solutions, which has converted into the largest meeting of researchers from the Ibero-American world. This year the forum had about 900 speakers from 30 countries, numerous keynote speakers and a lot of thematic panels and round tables reflecting the key issues of contemporary Ibero-American studies. The ever-growing interest of young people in research work in the field of Ibero-American studies is another peculiarity of this academic event.
