There were representatives of educational institutions from 7 countries of Europe and the world among the participants.
The main problems of development of European higher education, which were the subject of the conference, included, first of all, the following:
- Peculiarities of personal realization of modern students.
- Specifics of system interaction: university administration - student self-government - teaching staff.
- Relationship between social and academic mobility.
- Technologies of image formation of the university: analysis of foreign and domestic experience.
- Political and civic activism of modern youth.
- Management of educational IT projects.
- Project management in the social sphere: prospects for the formation of the image of a modern university.

The discussion of the issues considered by the conference participants showed the interested attitude of the students to the image of their university, the image of the lecturer and the student, to their professional future. Holding a conference in the format of a ZOOM-conference did not interfere with a lively discussion of the problems, contributed to the development of the conference participants’ skills of presenting their speeches, critical and creative understanding of the issues under consideration.
