Academic Council in the form of a solemn meeting is held every year in December. It is named a Speech-Day of the Institute of Experimental Medicine. The speech-day is usually timed to the next anniversary of the founding of the Institute on the 8th of December, 1890. One of the key events of the Speech-Day is reading of an opening-speech. The first speech was ‘On the role of microbes in the general cycle of life’ was read by S.N. Vinogradsky at the ceremonial meeting of the Academic Council in 1896. The tradition of annual Speech-Days was firmly established in 1981, when A.A. Smorodintsev delivered a speech ‘The Problem of the Origin of Pandemic Influenza Viruses’. Since then, the leading scientists of the Institute of Experimental Medicine have been giving an assembly speech annually in a festive atmosphere on every Speech-Day. The right to read a speech is granted by the decision of the Academic Council of the Institute. It is extremely prestigious because it expresses public recognition of the scientific contributions of the scientist. Every opening speech is issued in the form of a special brochure. A compulsory copy of the speech is stored in the Scientific Library of the Institute of Experimental Medicine. Program of the Speech Day of the 12th December of 2019 year
