Joint efforts of scientists and industries: a large-scale scientific and practical forum opened in Minsk

The Republican Scientific and Practical Forum “Science – Production: Innovations for the Real Sector of the Economy” is being held in Minsk. The event brought together more than 100 leading scientists, academicians, professors, heads of enterprises, specialized specialists, as well as students, undergraduates and postgraduates from all regions of Belarus. The relevance of the forum is due to the need to establish and strengthen business ties between universities, scientific organizations and enterprises of the country, as well as to demonstrate the latest achievements of universities in advanced scientific and technical fields.

- They are aimed at discussing the specific results of the practical activities of our scientists. This is the interaction of university, academic, industry science in areas ranging from industrial, digital technologies to chemical and biotechnologies, as well as a number of other priority areas determined by the decree of the President of our country.

He also noted that within the framework of one of the sections, issues of youth policy and science development were considered.

- This is also very important, because ensuring human resources potential, continuity of generations in science is one of the serious conditions for the stable functioning of the scientific and innovative sphere, the Minister of Education said.

Andrey Ivanets expressed the opinion that the most important thing is to unite the efforts of the entire scientific community:

- Today we see that university scientists are engaged in the initial development of projects, design documentation, which is subsequently transferred to enterprises of the real sector of the economy, where pilot-industrial testing and subsequent scaling are carried out.

According to him, during the plenary session, the most striking, serious developments that have already received practical application will be presented. These are areas such as robotics, materials science, the use of digital technologies in medicine and other areas.

I am sure that such forums for the scientific community are a very serious and important platform for discussing not only the scientific problems themselves, interdisciplinary research, but also the development of those proposals that are aimed at increasing the practical orientation and economic impact of such developments for our country, Andrei Ivanets summed up.
