The program of the forum-competition included holding breakout sessions on promising areas of development of the mineral resource complex, specialized lectures within the framework of the Philosophy of Science program, as well as thematic excursions.

Among the areas included in the list of scientific interests of the new generation of researchers are the integrated development of oil and gas fields and transportation of hydrocarbon raw materials, modern technologies of its deep processing, climate change, environmental protection and the principles of sustainable development of mining. The forum participants delivered their reports on these and other topics throughout the week.

The face of the first university of the South of Russia was its scientific youth - graduate students of the Department "General Chemistry and Technology of silicates", representing the laboratory "Recycling of fuel energy waste", students and postgraduates of the departments "Ecology and Industrial Safety", "Mining", "Applied Geology", as well as senior lecturer of the Department "Oil and Gas Engineering and Technology" K.A. Borisov.

The students made presentations in four different sections: "Chemical technology of natural energy carriers, carbon materials and inorganic substances and their physico-chemical bases"; "Applied geology and geophysics"; "Modern mining technologies"; "Climate change, environmental protection and principles of sustainable development of mining production".

The report of graduate student Valeria Romanyuk on the topic "Research of physico-mechanical and technological properties of clay raw materials for the production of ordinary ceramic bricks", the research for which was carried out on the basis of the laboratory "Recycling of fuel energy waste", was highly appreciated by experts and brought victory to the piggy bank of awards of the YURSPU (NPI).

The forum-competition became an opportunity not only to compete with peers, but also to demonstrate their potential to leading industry specialists. For this purpose, in addition to breakout sessions, the organizers provided several foresight sessions on the strategic development of energy in Russia and the world, as well as assembly lectures delivered by academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences and top managers of flagship domestic companies.
