Abstract

The seminar is aimed at facilitating the planning by undergraduates of their own educational and scientific trajectories and their implementation, as well as correction, if necessary. This goal is achieved through individual meetings of undergraduates with an academic mentor, meetings within small teams and within the entire academic group. The agenda of meetings is formed in advance by both the mentor and undergraduates, after which the mentor chooses the format for the implementation of the agenda.
