Today, the 63rd International Scientific Student Conference started at Novosibirsk State University. This year, more than 3,100 participants registered for the largest such event beyond the Urals, more than 2,800 of them passed the scientific selection. More than half of the participants are representatives of NSU, the number of participants in school sections increased to 453, which is 16% of the total. 40% of students and young scientists represent other universities in Russia.
The MNSC has a wide geography of participants. Thus, this year, schoolchildren, students and young scientists from 40 regions of Russia, as well as participants from abroad – Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Belarus – will present their reports at the conference.
Sergey Golovin, director Advanced Engineering School of NSU, delivering a welcoming speech, drew attention to the interest of out-of-town students in the university and the opportunities provided by the Akademgorodok ecosystem:
— I am very glad to see that half of the guys are not from NSU, and this is very good, because you consider the university and our conference as a platform where you can come and discuss many interesting things. We are located in a unique place — in the Akademgorodok of Novosibirsk. In this relatively small area there are more than 30 research institutes and more than 5,000 research staff work on a variety of topics. It is also very important: there is a Technopark on our territory, it is one of the most successful in Russia, because it was created on the initiative of those innovators, those companies that wanted this technopark to appear. Now it has more than 350 residents who earn more than 50 billion rubles a year. Being in such an ecosystem, of course, everyone who studies here and everyone who comes here has very great opportunities to develop themselves and implement their projects through this ecosystem.
The conference will be held in 46 sections and 143 subsections. This year, two new sections have appeared: “Intercultural Communication and Translation” and “Romano-Germanic Philology and Theory of Language”.
It is important that in recent years, not only schoolchildren, students and young scientists, but also representatives of companies, partners of the university, have taken part in the events of the MNSC. And this is no coincidence, since NSU does a lot to build closer cooperation with the real sector. The university is integrating into the socio-economic agenda and is more actively working on solving industrial problems, replicating the experience of many years of successful interaction with research institutes to high-tech companies.
This transformation in the university’s strategy was noted by Igor Marchuk, Dean Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU:
— Now the country faces the task of achieving technological leadership, it is impossible to solve this task without science. I am sure that your reports, many of the results that will be presented, will serve to achieve this goal. Now it is important to link science and production, to work in closer connection with the real sector. Thus, at the NSU Mathematical Center, we are just beginning to work in such a product logic, although for mathematicians it is not so easy, since we mainly have theorems, proofs, algorithms. Nevertheless, we know many examples when the results of scientific research have a significant impact on the development of industries. Thus, we are now in the auditorium of the NSU Faculty of Economics — the Leonid Vitalyevich Kantorovich auditorium. He is an outstanding mathematician, who is a Nobel laureate in economics. The results of his work have had a huge impact on technology.
The MNSC will be held from April 16 to 22. You can find the detailed conference program on the website.
