The Conference Program outlines the main results of the applicants' scientific work, international cooperation events with the participation of young scientists that took place at the institute during the academic year.

The conference guests were given a historical background to the work of the scientific event: the conference of young scientists was born in 2003 in Horlivka, at the Horlivka State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages. Since 2015, the work has continued in Bakhmut, where the institute was relocated, and since 2022 - in Dnipro due to the second relocation of the institute at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In 2023, at the 20th anniversary conference, the organizing committee decided to dedicate the conference to the heroic graduates and applicants who defended Ukraine from the enemy and fell on the fields of the great battle. The names of the fallen are now in the Pantheon of Heroes of the institute: Roman Yusubov, Ivan Karagodin, Oleksandr Sheredekin, Leonid Mendryk.

The conference participants were greeted by the director of the institute, Doctor of Philology, Professor T.M. Marchenko. In a warm atmosphere, thanks were expressed for their active participation in the development of student science to the winners Artem Pavlyuk, Angelina Beliy, Vladyslav Khmelyk, Natalia Martynyuk, and the winners of the regional stages of the 25th International Ukrainian Language Competition named after Petro Yatsyk, the 25th International Language and Literature Competition named after Taras Shevchenko, Iryna Denysenko and Anastasia Kostrykova. The contestants addressed the participants of the plenary session with video greetings and noted the important role of teachers-mentors in their achievements.

The plenary session then continued with in-depth reports, interesting presentations, and lively interest from the audience.

Kyrylo Ivlev, a postgraduate student at the Department of Ukrainian Literature named after Academician Mykhailo Voznyak of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, presented a meaningful report on the topic "Frankian's Memoir on the Pages of the Newspaper "Lvivski Visti" (1942–1943): Editorial and Source Aspects."

Leda Negrescu, a 3rd-year student majoring in Philology/Germanic Languages and Literatures, explored the markers of today's political correctness within the framework of intercultural communication and presented them to the audience in a very interesting way.

The topic of the last report of the plenary session – “Children's Choreographic Ensemble “Zadorinky” (Chasiv Yar): Changes in Approaches to Work Under the Influence of the Revolution of Dignity and the Beginning of the War for Independence of Ukraine (2013-2022)” – was revealed by Natalia Martyniuk, a 3rd year student of the educational program “History. Psychology”. The author of the report acted not only as a researcher, but also as a direct witness of the events. She turned her own memories into a valuable historical source, and demonstrated how personal history is woven into the general context of major historical events.
