The general name of the events is the IV International CIS Conference of IHO on humic innovation technologies "From molecular analysis of humic substances - to nature-friendly technologies" (HIT-2017). The main part of the conference was organized on the basis of the Moscow State University.

The conference of young scientists "Application of innovative humic products in agriculture and environmental technologies" (LIFE FORCE-2017) was held on October 19 aboard the comfortable motor ship "Vatel" on the Moscow River, where more than 150 prominent Russian and foreign authoritative scientists in the field agrochemistry, soil science and ecology.

Closure of the scientific conference HIT-2017 and summarizing the International Competition of Young Scientists were held in the form of presentations and discussions, a platform was opened for the exchange of experience, knowledge and the establishment of business and scientific partnerships.

The winners included authors of 16 works, marked in three categories.
