Young scientists (Elena Nekrasova, Ksenia Pozovkina and Alexandra Bub) took advantage of the opportunities provided by the cooperation programme in cognitive and experimental linguistics and expanded their knowledge in the area of experimental linguistics by studying the research works from the joint lists of required literature compiled by the lecturers of the project. Gained knowledge and experience allowed young researchers to participate in scientific dialogues at the conference and start building their own professional network of likeminded people.
