The award recognized her contribution to strengthening ties with Mongolia and, in particular, her work with Mongolian schoolchildren on research projects. The partnership's starting point was participation in an educational exhibition in Ulaanbaatar. For three years, as part of the International University Classes project, Southern Federal University and Mongolian schools have been regularly exchanging experiences, forming strong academic and intercultural ties.

The badge of honor was presented by Andrey Ryzhov, director of the school at the Russian Embassy in Mongolia, on behalf of Ambassador A. N. Evsikov. As part of the collaboration, Anastasia Chernova conducted a project intensive for the school's students: the students mastered modern research methods and demonstrated high results, winning prizes at the regional stage of the Vernadsky Competition.

Maxim Bondarev, SFedU Vice Rector for Projects and International Affairs, presented Andrey Ryzhov with a letter of thanks, noting his professionalism and significant contribution to the development of educational and cultural contacts between the two countries. The meeting was held in a constructive and friendly atmosphere and confirmed the mutual interest of the parties in further partnership.
