The conference was hosted by Saratov State University (National Research University) named after N. G.

During the conference, Natalia Ladzina presented a research paper focused on the analysis of psychological mechanisms of resistance to change in the process of creating a fair and supportive organizational environment, taking into account the specific characteristics of contemporary organizations in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The presentation generated considerable interest among participants and became the subject of active scientific discussion.

As part of the scientific trip, Natalia Ladzina also participated in the open defense of master’s theses within the educational program “Organizational Psychology,” acting as an invited expert.
