Today, Novgorod State University celebrates Prince Yaroslav’s day. In the morning, a welcome reception for young NovSU researchers, advanced and undergraduate students was held. More than eighty participants had been invited to it.

Rector of Novgorod State University Prof., Viktor Weber congratulated students and young researchers on their success and reminded them of the University history: ‘I hope all of you know why our University got its name. It’s because Prince Yaroslav-the-Wise's personal seal was discovered in 1994. Academician Yanin, Russian chief archeologist suggested giving the University the name of the Russian prince.

All the invited were awarded with various certificates on receiving different named scholarships, particularly presidential and governmental ones; on winning in grant competition; certificates of appreciation on success in academic achievements, in sport, in scientific and creative activities.
