Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno Hosts the 9th International Scientific and Practical Conference "Current Issues in the Psychology of Personality and Social Interaction"
Today, October 8, the Faculty of Psychology at YKSUG is hosting the scientific and practical conference "Current Issues in the Psychology of Personality and Social Interaction." The event is being held in both in-person and online formats, making participation accessible to a wide range of researchers, educators, practitioners, and early-career scientists.
The conference marks the centenary of the birth of Sviatlana Kondratsyeva—Doctor of Psychological Sciences, Professor, and Honored Scientist of the Republic of Belarus—who founded the scientific school of "Social-Perceptual and Social-Reflexive Psychology of Pedagogical Work and Teacher Professional Development" at Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno. To honor the occasion, a lecture hall named after Svetlana Kondratsyeva was ceremoniously opened at the Faculty of Psychology, serving as a tribute of deep respect to this distinguished scholar and founder of the scientific school.
The conference is organized by YKSUG in collaboration with major research centers in Belarus, Russia, and Uzbekistan. Co-organizers include Belarusian State University, Belarusian State Pedagogical University named after Maxim Tank, the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University named after K.D.Ushinsky, Kokand State Pedagogical Institute, and other prestigious institutions. The program committee is chaired by Natalia Bashun, Vice-Rector for Research at Yanka Kupala State University and Candidate of Biological Sciences. Approximately 40 scientists, including 10 researchers from abroad, are expected to participate in the sessions. The working languages of the event are Belarusian, Russian, and English. The conference addresses a range of topics, including psychological phenomenology; the mechanisms and patterns of personality development and functioning as an agent of one’s life path; and methodological, theoretical, and applied issues in the psychology of personality and social interaction. Participants will discuss intelligence as a form of mental experience organization and a resource for coping behavior; personality formation and socialization in a digital society; current issues in professional and spiritual-moral development; agency within the educational process; and personality development within the family context, as well as the psychology of intercultural interaction.
This scientific event plays a vital role in ensuring generational continuity within the field. Sviatlana Kondratyeva’s research into the social-perceptual and social-reflective psychology of teaching laid the groundwork for the professional development of teachers across the republic. The current gathering aims to build upon this legacy amidst global technological and social changes.
A collection of scientific papers will be compiled based on the proceedings of the sessions and the roundtable discussion. All submissions will undergo expert review by the organizing committee—led by Volha Mitrafanova, Dean of the Faculty of Psychology at Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno—and will be digitally archived and indexed in the Russian Science Citation Index.

Development of International Dialogue: Lecturers of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno Implement a Joint Educational Programme in China
Lecturers of the Faculty of Biology and Ecology of Kupala University – Elizaveta Uzlova, Head of the Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology, and Anastasia Sakovich, Associate Professor of the Department of Systems Biology – are conducting classes at Qilu Normal University (People's Republic of China). The visit was organized within the framework of the implementation of the experimental joint educational programme "Biology 4+0" and is aimed at strengthening academic ties between the partner universities.
The educational process for Chinese second-year students is organized in lecture and laboratory formats. The lecturers of YKSUG teach the specialized disciplines "Microbiology" and "Plant Ecology," successfully combining the transmission of fundamental theoretical knowledge with intensive practical work.
Particular interest among international students is aroused by laboratory workshops, where theoretical material finds direct practical application. Under the guidance of Belarusian specialists, the students work with biological objects, master modern research methods and learn to analyze the results in detail. This format allows Chinese students not only to assimilate the academic modules more deeply, but also to clearly see the integration of biological science into research and professional activity.
The joint educational programme "Biology 4+0" serves as an effective platform for professional, scientific and cultural interaction between representatives of the two universities. For the teaching staff of YKSUG, this is an excellent opportunity to share advanced domestic experience and get acquainted with the specifics of the organization of higher education in China. In turn, for Chinese students, this is a unique chance to learn from leading specialists from a different educational environment and significantly expand their understanding of modern biological science.
