Special program of the festival is dedicated to the International Year of the Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements of D.I. Mendeleev. That will be a real gift for all participants and guests to take a course of lectures at the Big Chemical Auditorium of St. Petersburg State University! The construction of this building was initiated in 1894 by D.I. Mendeleev. The oldest version of the Periodic system in the world is located as well here. It is interesting that the modern version of it, the interactive Table, can also be seen here in the the longest university corridor. It will be a real Mendeleev’s Day!
