In total, more than 4.6 thousand applications from 73 subjects of Russia were submitted to the competition. The winners were representatives of all federal districts, including 2 postgraduate students from new regions. The largest number of applications were submitted in the direction of “Engineering Sciences”.
Candidates for the presidential scholarship were nominated by their scientific supervisors. As specified on the official website of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the research of scholarship applicants must be based on the priorities defined by the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation, approved by Vladimir Putin on February 28, 2024.
Valeria Mikhienko (NSU Humanitarian Institute):
— As part of my dissertation research, it is planned to study the main techniques of chipping on the archaeological materials of the Upper Paleolithic of the Altai Mountains, obtained from sites with an established chronology and with the involvement of experimental data. The identification and substantiation of a new additional criterion for differentiating the Upper Paleolithic industries of the Altai Mountains will allow us to determine the main trends at different stages of the Upper Paleolithic and better understand their specificity. In the Upper Paleolithic (about 50 thousand years ago), changes in stone processing occur everywhere, which are associated with the production of new types of blanks (plates, blades, microplates) and typologically expressed tool forms (leaf-shaped bifaces). At first, man in ancient times mastered new methods of obtaining standardized stone blanks – plates within the framework of volumetric thinking, then moved on to the manufacture of smaller forms – plates, and at the end of the Upper Paleolithic he already mastered the technique of pressing and was already able to obtain microplates. All this took place against the backdrop of changes in the natural environment and the development of human cognitive abilities, which can be traced in the archaeological materials of the multi-layered sites of the Altai Mountains (from 50 to 20 thousand years ago).
Ekaterina Butikova (FEN NSU):
— I am researching the effects of terahertz radiation on normal and tumor human cells. As part of the project, we study how irradiation at terahertz frequencies affects cellular metabolism and the viability of various cell types. These data are important for understanding the fundamental mechanisms of terahertz radiation and may be useful for understanding safety limits.
Stepan Karmushin (FF NSU):
— My scientific research is devoted to a relevant and complex area of modern hydrodynamics — the mechanics of viscoelastic (non-Newtonian) fluids, including issues of unsteady flows and rheology of complex structured polymer and colloidal systems. The relevance of this topic is due to the wide range of applications of such materials in advanced technologies, including the oil and gas industry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry and the development of new composites. Particular attention is paid to the development of nonlinear mathematical models and analysis of the internal structure of the flow, which allows for reliable calculation of the rheology of viscoelastic fluids, as well as reproducing their behavior in real conditions. The results of the work are of both fundamental importance for modern hydrodynamics and practical value for the real sector of the economy, including cooperation with leading oil and gas companies to solve specific technological challenges.
Alexey Tarasov (GGF NSU):
— The topic of my project is “Melt inclusions in minerals of mantle xenoliths from kimberlites: reconstruction of mantle melt compositions”. Kimberlites are igneous rocks, which are associated with more than 90% of diamond deposits. Kimberlites are formed by the crystallization of kimberlite magmas. Kimberlite melts are formed by partial melting of mantle rocks at a depth of 160-300 kilometers. In my work, I try to reconstruct the composition of kimberlite melts. To do this, I study melt inclusions in various minerals from kimberlites.
Dmitry Lebedkin, (NSU GI):
— I study neural indicators in the cognitive processing of syntactic errors in the process of perceiving sentences in natural languages and arithmetic formulas.
The aim of the study is to identify similarities and differences between the neural processes that occur during the processing of linguistic and arithmetic syntax, in order to subsequently conclude whether this process is the same or not. If not, what are the differences between them).
To answer this question, a series of experiments will be conducted with electroencephalogram recordings. During them, participants will read arithmetic formulas and sentences in Russian, which may contain syntactic and semantic errors. The obtained indicators of brain activity will be compared both between arithmetic and Russian, and within these categories of stimuli (with or without syntactic or semantic errors).
The results of the conducted research can be used in the development of complex educational methods intended for more productive joint study of mathematical and language disciplines. Also in the future it is possible to create therapeutic methods for supporting students with dyscalculia and related developmental disorders based on the results of this work.

Scholarships for postgraduate students and adjuncts conducting research within the framework of implementing the priorities of scientific and technological development of the country were introduced in 2024. The corresponding Decree “On the scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation for postgraduate students and adjuncts conducting research within the framework of implementing the priorities of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation” was signed by the head of state Vladimir Putin on November 27, 2023. Up to 500 scholarships in the amount of 75 thousand rubles will be allocated annually based on the results of competitive selection. They will be paid to postgraduate students and adjuncts until they complete their studies at the university. These payments are financed from the federal budget. The first recipients of the scholarship last year included eight NSU postgraduate students: three each from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Physics, and one each from the Faculty of Economics and the Humanities Institute. This year their number has increased to 17.
