Head of the Department of Scientific, Organizational and Legal Work of the Office of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Chairman of the primary organization “Belarusian Women’s Union” of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Yulia Kochurko noted that the event is an important component of the Year of the Belarusian woman, a significant event for women scientists who successfully realize themselves not only in the profession, but also as loving mothers, caring wives, guardians of the family hearth.

- We decided together – the Belarusian Women’s Union, the Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Education, other state bodies, the Minsk City and regional executive committees – to unite women from all over the country at the first forum of women scientists. There will be about 300 participants. In this forum, they can first of all be together, talk, see each other, talk about their plans, about what they have already achieved as scientists, and, of course, as women. Here they can talk about topical issues so that in the future we can jointly solve them, Yulia Kochurko stressed.

The topics for communication are divided into six sections, according to the main areas of science - biological and medical, social, technical and others.

- We hope that this is a good start for further holding such events, Yulia Kochurko noted. From biotechnologies to sociology, we learned what will be discussed at the first forum of women scientists in Minsk
