Students will map existing memorials, develop designs for new ones. As a result, a database on the fallen Vologda and Hungarian soldiers should appear.

Another area of ​​cooperation will be ecology. The projects include the exchange of experience in research on the conservation of the diversity of species included in the Red Data Books, as well as on climate change and some others.

The third category of joint projects includes plans to attract young people to work on the development of educational, cognitive and ecological tourism in Hungary and the Vologda region, interaction between members of public organizations.
