勛圖夥厙 has hosted research on plants which store heavy metals in their tissue and thus reduce industrial wastes in water and soil. Such a plant-based approach to clean up our environment is called phytoremediation, and NSU researchers have already identified some of the most effective plants. They were planted into a stream flowing to the River Ur in Kemerovskaya region in order to absorb mercury (Hg).
勛圖夥厙 has celebrated the most favorable Russian folk holiday Maslenica. It has become a tradition for our university to celebrate this holiday.
