The XXVIIIth International Finno-Ugric Students’ Conference (IFUSCO) will pass in a city of Tartu (Estonia), 2012. The decision was approved at a round table on May, 11th before closing of the present conference in Budapesht. Delegations offered some places for carrying out of a following forum, including Syktyvkar, Izhevsk and Khanty-Mansiysk, the correspondent of Info center FINUGOR informs.

As participants have noticed IFUSCO was never spent in Khanty-Mansiysk. However members of forum from Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous region - Yugra have declared that they can't officially invite IFUSCO for their own charge. «Possibility of carrying out IFUSCO in Khanty-Mansiysk – a difficult question. It is necessary for us to get support from the government of Yugra which yet hasn't given an affirmative reply», - Olga Buraja from Khanty-Mansiysk commented. Meanwhile this sity is considered for a meeting of Finno-Ugric students in 2013.

Finally it has been decided to spend IFUSCO-2012 to Estonia. The representative of Tartu University Irina Kuldkepp on closing of the conference has invited all participants next year in the city. The delegation of Tartu has received unofficial symbol of IFUSCO – a bear cub from Kudymkar. As the passing sign a bear cub has appeared in 2010 at student's conference in Kudymkar, and has received Kudym-Osh name in honor of the komi-permyak national epos hero.
