International Research School (IRS)

The International Research School (IRS) is a project initiated by the All-Russian Movement of Creative Teachers “Researcher”, the Moscow State Center for Youth, and Lyceum № 1553 “Litsey na Donskoy". The event is supported by the Moscow Department of Education and the International Movement for Leisure Activities in Science & Technology (MILSET).

The main goal of the event is to give schoolchildren from different counties and regions of Russia an opportunity to carry out express-projects in various fields of science and technology.

The students work at the projects in international teams (the working language is English) and are supposed to complete their works within 5 days. Then the projects are presented to a committee of experts and other participants of the IRS. The original design of the projects is developed by trainers - young scientists from Russia and other countries - using modern methods of research. The IRS offers its participants interesting scientific and cultural programs.

The students have lectures on topical subjects, communication and team-building trainings, sports activities and tours to the Kremlin, Lomonosov Moscow State University,  and other places of great cultural and historic value. Delegation leaders have the opportunity to join the special workshop on psychology and teaching methods.
