A man can enlarge his Way; but there is no Way that can enlarge a man.
Confucius

The prevailing tendency in modern Communication Studies is the search for break-through solutions in human development, the analysis of new possibilities in the formation of human consciousness and social behaviour. The success of one person or a social institution is impossible without the strategic development and improvement of the communication process, in which an individual or a community act as its participants. The aim of the biannual Russian Communication Association (RCA) International Conference held together with our partners is to combine the efforts of scholars from different countries, fields of study, research centres and schools of thought for the further multiparadigm development of Communication Studies.

VENUE

Pushkin Leningrad State University. Address: 10, Peterburgskoye Shosse, Pushkin, Saint-Petersburg, 196605.

Pushkin Leningrad State University was founded in 1992.

The University is a major educational and scientific centre in the North-West of Russia. It is situated in the world-known suburb of St. Petersburg – the town of Pushkin (former Tsarskoye Selo), famous for the summer residences of the Russian tsars, landscape parks and architectural monuments, the Emperors’ Tsarskoselsky Lyceum and other monuments of Russian history and culture. The participants of the conference will have a chance to visit those places of interest. The accommodation will be provided in the hotel/hostel “Tsarskoe Selo Campus,” as well as at other Pushkin hotels at reasonable prices. The university is situated within easy reach from St. Petersburg, as well as the airports “Pulkovo-1” and “Pulkovo-2”. The closeness to the places of interest, shops, etc. will make your stay interesting and comfortable.
