hell yes, we want to create and develop thrifty traditions for the sake of a happy and happy future, where the lifestyle of the skin and the law are important. and life with people in hell and death, all everyday life, there are meetings of a whole series of emotional moments and family support, time after time. belarus 24, the fact that we are absolutely disgusted.

highly effective antitumor drugs, prototype propulsion system for supersonic aircraft, creation of highly active genetically engineered strain for obtaining new generation vaccines with potentially enhanced immunogen. and also the development of a complex of the latest technologies and technical means for preserving and maintaining the functionality of closed reclamation systems. this is only a small part of what our scientists managed to create and improve in just one year, 2022. there will surely be even more discoveries in 2023, especially since this is a special year for belarusian science. to the main scientific center of the country on october 13.

exactly 95 years old, what a reason to find out why it all began, to understand in detail modern scientific trends and, of course, to look into the future, this is what we will do together in the next half hour, in the studio ekaterina beretskaya, hello, the science project is on air nearby and look in the program, from inbelcult to the main scientific one. countries, let’s start , according to tradition, with the history of the issue: a focus on medicine, biotechnology, agronavation and artificial intelligence, about the most promising directions for the development of belarusian science, we’ll talk in the program studio with the chief scientific secretary national academy of sciences of our country. and belarusian science in the world, we will tell you about key international projects soon.

a landmark year for belarusian science in the last century was 1922, when the institute of belarusian culture was created. it is on its basis that, 6 years later, the belarusian academy of sciences will be founded. this day, october 13, 1928 , is considered to be the birthday. at the time of the grand opening, which took place on january 1, 1929, there were 128 people on staff. historian headed the belarusian academy of sciences vsevolod ignatovsky. and in 1941, it was already a leading research center, 12 divisions, including nine institutes and 750 employees, but the rapid development was stopped by the great patriotic laboratory library. scientific equipment was burned and

looted by the nazis. after the liberation of minsk, in less than a year by the beginning of 1945 , eight academic institutes resumed their work. and by the beginning of the 51st century , the structure of the academy of sciences will already have almost 30 research institutions. the main guideline for scientists at that time was queries national economy. research and training of specialists with the support of the government of belarus and the us. the ussr, and then the ninety-first collapse of the soviet union and the difficult, but ultimately successful path of science to sovereign belarus. in 1997, president alexander lukashenko signed decree number 281. the academy of sciences became national and acquired the status of the country's highest state scientific organization. responsible for coordinating and conducting basic scientific research. today the national

academy of sciences employs almost 14,000 people, geography of institutes and centers, the whole country. we will talk about the latest scientific developments and promising areas of research today in the program studio with the chief scientific secretary of the academy of sciences of belarus vasily lenindevich, hello, hello, and of course, happy holiday to you, thank you very much, i understand that there is not enough time for our program to tell about all the discoveries that have been made over these 95 years, so i propose to focus on, well, let’s say, the main areas to start with, this is medicine, here, it seems to me, like nowhere else, science and practice are very, very closely connected. in the field of medicine and pharmacy, as well as veterinary medicine, the academy of sciences has about 16 organizations from different departments, including

agricultural sciences, biological sciences, and the department of chemistry and others, the main enterprises that are directly involved in the production of pharmaceutical products, at the academy of sciences is the institute of biorganic chemistry and the academy of pharm. other organizations are also developing and developing new generation vaccines. in in particular, on instructions from the president, the academy of sciences was actively involved in the development of a covid vaccine at the time when this arose. and at the moment, in close cooperation with the ministry of health, a prototype of a covid vaccine has been developed, which has already passed preclinical tests, and is currently being prepared for implementation into practice. currently, also on behalf of the head of state , the academy of sciences is involved in the development of a flu vaccine. the flu is constantly mutating, new strains are constantly appearing, in this regard, since threats constantly arise, in in terms of medicine, last year the academy of sciences created a center for applied virology,

which is called upon to conduct research in this direction. in addition, at the institute of biorganic chemistry, we have developed modern drugs for these diseases at the global level, that is, there are no such drugs in the world, we have an academic farm based on substances that are developed by the institute of biorganic chemistry, which produces drugs directly, which go to pharmacies and against colds, they also help against the flu well, there are a lot of diseases, in particular joint disease, and a whole line of these drugs, very good developments at the academy of sciences in the field of veterinary medicine, and other areas, if i’m not mistaken, we heard about more than a year ago. .. creation of an academic it city, tell us how things are now, where are we going? in the academy of sciences, the united institute of informatics problems is responsible for this area, on the basis of which the it academy is being created, an academic one. currently , all documents have been prepared, created

laboratory, a team has been created that is leading the development. this direction is being developed according to a cluster type, that is, by uniting various organizations and laboratories , which, by combining their efforts, create... a finished product software that is produced by our united institute of computer science problems, it is in demand primarily for clinics, so it was created a whole system of interactive hospital records, which is now in operation, very good reviews are coming from both practicing doctors and hospitals, clinics are connected to this system, patients have good reviews, doctors use it directly in order to quickly see information about patients, accordingly , the time for servicing the patient is reduced, and quality improves. opep also created a very interesting product, this is a neural learning network that allows you to analyze x-ray images of patients , based on this, it automatically determines where the lesions are, where there

are possible diseases, and marks them, allocates them to the doctor more easily, time is reduced, and accuracy is increasing, and many other products are being developed, as i already said, precisely for the needs of our economy. since we touched on the topic of artificial intelligence, i understand that our scientists, as well as the world, are moving in this direction, and, in addition to medicine, maybe some other research is being carried out now, artificial intelligence is being used in particular for the development of precision agriculture, yes, agriculture, we are also developing agricultural equipment, which, with the help of artificial intelligence systems, allows for example, hilling to grow. adjust the working tool in such a way that it does not damage the plants themselves, but works precisely between the rows, but this is just an example , there are a lot of such examples, my colleagues are ready to continue the agricultural topic that we started, let’s see the plot, and then

we will definitely come back, there is a common joke among scientific farmers, this science has four problems, spring, summer, autumn for. but even with these seemingly unshakable inputs , our scientists have learned to cope. for example, this year alone, more than ten varieties of grains have been developed that adapt to any weather. another direction in the agricultural science of our country is from the north, clayey chernozems such as in russia or ukraine, we have only 4%. but despite

this, scientists have achieved excellent yields and now we can safely say that our country is independent in the matter of food security, but this was not always the case. this is quite important, you know, if you analyze any state, and many scientists have stated that if it were richer all natural minerals. minerals, everything they had, but it is independent, if agriculture is not developed , first of all, in order to destroy the state, it is necessary to destroy agriculture, you and i, in our example, we saw all this, there was a rich the soviet union , where the collapse began, with empty shelves in stores, when hungry miners, like the president, came to the square, and when pensioners at the store did not know what to buy? and the americans helped us first to destroy, and then the bush legs flew in to feed

unfortunate poor belarus. after the collapse of the soviet union, there was no grain in our country, now it’s simply impossible to imagine. now we are collecting 7 and a half, but this year it’s about 8 million, we are increasing the analysis a little. all this is thanks, of course, to our agriculture, and at the head of agriculture. agricultural science is at the forefront of production. as the president of our country alexander lukashenko stated, each agricultural worker feeds 35 people. and it was agricultural science that made it possible to reach this level. it is concentrated in the scientific and practical center for agriculture in zhodino. in it and in its subsidiaries, scientists study the soil. to make it more fertile, they create amenities. to prevent crops from dying from pests, plant protection products are created. only an integrated approach in this area made it possible to create. such raw materials for the food industry of our country that every belarusian, and foreigner knows, food created

in our country is already a brand. you are watching the science project nearby and don’t miss any further. belarusians at the ends of the earth, what are their challenges? before the participants of the sixteenth antarctic expedition. it's much more difficult when you're alone. we’ll tell you about the largest international scientific projects of recent years, and we’ll find out very soon what kind of belarusian academy of sciences of the future it is. vasily leonidovich, another top topic is space, yes, what’s there, except that we are now preparing to send a belarusian girl there. it has been known to be in orbit for more than 10 years. our belarusian satellite for remote sensing of the earth flies, it was designed for 5 years, but worked for 10, that is

this speaks about the quality of our development and production of this satellite, and space, like antarctica, is an extremely aggressive environment, that is, many devices there fail even that would work on earth for decades, these are very complex, high technologies, currently, the academy of sciences is developing a new satellite for remote sensing of the earth beyond high ... resolution, if that one had a resolution of 2 m, then this one will be 0.35 m, higher, and in general, within the framework of the implementation of the union program, the sg complex is expected the creation of a constellation of satellites for remote sensing of the earth and in general monitoring of the earth's surface, which, of course, is primarily aimed at solving peaceful purposes, this is the detection of man-made disasters, forest fires, for research in terms of searching for minerals, for laying roads, now... burning data from an existing earth remote sensing satellite, this data is used by more than

eleven ministries in the republic of belarus to solve applied problems that are very pressing, and if without satellite, it would have been necessary to spend much more money to solve them, that is, this is a direct saving of resources, the state is very useful for many, many purposes , the belarusian cosmonaut is now being trained, in addition to the flight itself, which is undoubtedly a very important phenomenon, this cosmonaut has been asked to carry out a whole series of scientific research in space, but scientists are directly involved in preparing the program for this research. and biological research, and medical research, not just a flight, it will really be work, very serious scientific work, yes, i know that serious scientific work is being carried out by our scientists at the ends of the earth, now they are already preparing for the sixteenth, and antarctic expedition, the trip is supposed to be 13 people this time, well

, before there were 12, the general focus of research is climatology, flora and fauna, ecology, and also testing and studying the operation of our devices , which are produced at the academy of sciences, in critical conditions, we took our drone there, and it turned out to work very well, even in such conditions, and there it is very difficult, thanks to our belarusian -made technology, our polar explorers managed to advance more than 200 km into the continent and expand the research area of ​​the belarusian expedition. how are things going with the youth and personnel? but even so, we have noticed over the last five years, probably, but certainly in the academy of sciences, there are more young specialists, are they willing to come? every year the academy of sciences receives about 300 of the best graduates of our universities, in principle, for the academy of sciences, this is quite enough to replenish and even expand the scientific team of all

organizations, the rejuvenation of the academy of sciences is indeed underway, at the moment more than 30% of scientists in the academy of sciences belong to the category of young scientists, that is, up to 30 years old, and this is wonderful, the average age of the academy of sciences is now 48 years, although literally 5-6 years ago, it was more than 60 years old, middle age, that is, there is obvious rejuvenation on the face, well, we can see this from the results, we have announced a large number of competitions for young people, and recently we had a science festival and the results of the competition are presented there : 100 young innovations scientists conducted by the academy of sciences, and a whole series of new, very interesting research results of young scientists, we then reward them not only with diplomas, but also with valuable gifts and prizes, this business is stimulated very actively by organizations, and you are solving the housing problem, as far as i know , good housing policy, the academy of sciences not only has its own dormitory and

a fairly normal situation with apartments, but also operates its own kindergartens, academic ones, which, well... are not the best, has its own sanatorium, here is islach, has its own clinic, that is, a whole series, a whole complex of social facilities that attract young people to the academy of sciences, and not only young people, in general, i myself enjoyed a vacation in our sanatorium, and this also stimulates and motivates people for better results, which stimulates and what motivates young scientists, my colleagues just asked them, come on? historian stanislav yurievsky now heads the central scientific library of the academy of sciences, but he knew that he would become a scientist back in the ninth grade; his school once helped him find himself a history teacher, and now stanislav helps those who recently came to science to find themselves in science; he is the chairman of the council of

young scientists of the belarusian academy of sciences. the network of young scientists is a public body that operates under the presidium of the national academy of sciences of belarus, it was created in order to introduce more active youth to the most promising scientific developments in general to scientific activities, that is, we work with young scientists who are already working in the structure of the academy sciences, these are young people under the age of 35 - this is master's students, graduate students, researchers, candidates of sciences and doctors of sciences under the age of 40, and the council of young scientists is happy to work with schoolchildren, students, so that they too soon become part of a large scientific community. this is our main task, for these purposes we organize a number of fairly large events, the most famous of which are, firstly , the science festival, the largest popular science event that comes annually to the central botanical garden of the national academy of sciences of belarus, this international a conference of young scientists of youth in science

annually, which hosts a number of different schools for young scientists, seminars, round tables and so on. stanislav yuretsky himself admits: the good thing about science is that you never stop researching; in fact, there is not a single project where you could say, this is the truth. you can’t write something, close the book and say that’s it, i closed this topic, because every day, even as a historian and archaeologist, new data appears, both archival and archaeological artifacts, which return again to certain questions and so on, well , firstly, i am processing a collection of finds by an archaeologist. based on the results of my research this summer, this is the city of lida and this is at the sanniki settlement in the dzyatlovsky district, and i’m also now working on a number of materials on the history of the academic. science history of archaeological science belarus. young scientist irina kaltovich is exploring another area. sometime after university, she

went to the institute of meat and dairy industry of nan-belarus and fell in love with science. she is now the head of the sector complex research of meat products, her pride is food 3d printing. in a team of other scientists, they developed unique dry mixtures based on natural raw materials for 3d food printing. you can model the individual composition of the product. to suit the needs of each person, for example, if your body lacks iron, calcium , or some amino acids, then you can model the composition of the product specifically for your body and you will receive in the right quantity exactly those micronutrients that will be useful specifically you, or if there are any allergic reactions, then you can exclude allergens from the composition of the product, this is also a big advantage, plus this technology allows you to obtain products with a given degree of grinding, this is very important for feeding patients in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. the uniqueness of the technology is that it is possible to simulate food in any desired shape. i also want to say that these particular dry meat mixtures that we have developed

are import-substituting products, they are easily transportable, and are convenient to take with you anywhere transport over a long distance, this can be expeditions and hikes, and tourist meetings; they are stored at normal room temperature for six months. this is such a unique direction that we are engaged in. scientists call products made with a 3d printer the food of the future. another area that is so important for us, for public health, for our republic, is the development of scientific and practical foundations for ways to reduce the content of potentially hazardous substances in meat products, such as trans isomers of fatty acids, nitroamines, benzoperene, we all know that these are harmful substances that have a negative effect on our. therefore, now, within the framework of this scientific topic, we are developing various methods, studying technological parameters so that our products go on sale with a minimum amount

of these potentially dangerous substances. irina admits that she does not separate work and personal life, because science is her life. this is a profession where your new working day will never be the same as the previous one. scientists are people who are in constant search, who... are constantly improving and developing, so over the years, of course, i have met a huge number of scientists who are an example for me, with whom it is very pleasant to talk on work topics, on personal topics, today virtually every third scientist at the academy is a young scientist , each of them has their own projects in development.

today, in principle, the main trends, i believe that the future is already being laid , the main directions of development of the academy of sciences in in the future, they are outlined by the president of our country, science and technology strategies until 2040, first of all, science is developing in a practice-oriented way, so the main trend is to deepen cooperation between the academy of sciences and manufacturing enterprises, relevant ministries, expanding the implementation of our researchers is extremely important, so that enterprises in the real sector turn to us at the academy of sciences for innovations, formulate an order, maybe it’s... a state order for new technologies, samples of technology and other things, and then introduced it into production, scaling it up and thereby

increasing the national economic effect of the research carried out by the academy of sciences. it often happens that enterprises are looking for technologies and equipment abroad, thereby funding their researchers, while at the same time our researchers are forced to seek resources in their organizations, and of course this is a little... narrows the range of research that we could conduct and we are carrying out, that is, this is the expansion of cooperation, this is the most important direction. of course, the most important fundamental task is import substitution, that is, we, our science, is aimed not only at breakthrough technologies in space, in antarctica, and so on, but at solving simple problems that enterprises faced when, for example, western markets were cut off for them, literally recently, our scientists developed , made, for example, high-pressure hoses that can hold up to 20 g, this is very high pressure, requires special production technologies, this allowed our

enterprises... and mtz, and maz and others, to continue working even in the conditions of sanctions pressure, one example , i mean, there were many developments that made it possible to work even in such difficult conditions, so i see the future of the academy of sciences in integration with production, the manufacturing sector, increasing the demand for our research and introducing it into the country’s economy. well, i wish everything to be so, thank you very much for taking the time for our program, thank you for this really interesting, you can even to say something sensational, if we talk about the developments that you talked about in the interview, good luck to you, thank you very much, life sets goals for science, science illuminates the path of life - said russian publicist and sociologist nikolai

mikhailovsky back in the 19th century, today conceptually nothing has changed, except that the goals are different, and life itself, science, of course, is also different today, but most importantly, it is still nearby. i don’t want to rush and run and study, like my daughter, the hat of the forest, the shine of the sun. i yak our life is based on these fractions , we want to look at this light for everyone and to cover our skin for something new, this is so useful to us, where we work with anyone, with anyone, and belarus.

the market is recovering, what do the numbers say, have we reached the pre-pandemic period? according to the past twenty-second year, we reached the pre-pandemic period and even probably surpassed it, speaking in tourists, in person-nights, probably even in money, but you shouldn’t be too deluded by these figures, although you definitely need to rejoice, until during the pandemic, we were still able to achieve serious diversification , in addition to the russian... flow from the cis countries, we worked well with western europe, with our neighboring countries, there was a serious flow from turkey, there was such good demand from the arab states, in principle, we have come to the point of starting to systematically work with india, chains from china and other countries have proven themselves well, that is, there was serious diversification, despite the fact that we earned money in the twenty-second, after all, this is in most

cases of mono-flow from the russian federation, this is a very good answer, within the framework of sanctions pressure, it is difficult for everyone and logistics , infrastructure, we went through a very difficult twentieth, twenty-first year for us, but domestic tourism, it is the capacity of our belarusian market, it still does not allow us to close all our infrastructure capabilities, such countries as belarus, belgium, the czech republic, are still focused on export... that is, we cannot afford the fact that during a pandemic there may be china, russia, the united states of america, where there are enough tourists for our own infrastructure, so the numbers for the twenty- second year are good, but stopping and working with a single country is not enough. what are the traditional markets for us in terms of exports? i would like to divide them into target and potential, target - this is where, under any conditions and in any circumstances, people will still

go from there, albeit in a small stream, if there was only a logistical opportunity, of course, for us it is always the russian federation, in any case, this is our basis, our targets the markets of the west, the neighboring ones, these are poland and the baltic states in our temporary positions along the contour, of course, remain far away for now, but they will inevitably return anyway, and the fact that our top management has given the opportunity for people to come anyway, the numbers speak for themselves, tourists come, but they are unorganized, because... businesses from our western neighbors are prohibited from working with belarus, banks do not carry out transactions, we have no contracts, but still people themselves come, spend money here, relax, see what we have there is a normal, decent life here, what they will relay further at home, and of course, when the supply chain is restored to full capacity, after all, turkey has always been a target market for us, but in the new emerging world.
