With the support of Rosneft, Lomonosov Moscow State University celebrated Biologist Day. The event was attended by about 6,000 people, including students and graduates of the educational institution, scientists, as well as schoolchildren and applicants interested in current issues of biology.
MSU has been a key partner university of Rosneft since 2006. The main areas of cooperation include training and retraining of personnel and scientific research activities. The company takes part in the implementation of innovative educational projects of the University Gymnasium, which hosts lectures for students of Rosneft classes.
As part of the Biologist’s Day, guests were presented with the latest biological research and developments in the field of neurobiology, paleontology and many other areas. Specialists from the Arctic Scientific Center of the Company told visitors about Rosneft’s research projects in the northern seas. Among them is a large-scale joint environmental project with Innopraktika and Moscow State University in the White Sea. As part of the expeditions, scientists repeated the route of the famous Soviet hydrobiologist Konstantin Deryugin, which he completed more than 100 years ago. Specialists plan to obtain data on the current state of the White Sea biota and assess the changes in the region’s ecosystems that have occurred over the past 100 years.
In addition, everyone could take part in intellectual games, quests, and try themselves in the role of a real scientist at biology master classes. A musical concert was organized for guests on the street stage.
Rosneft pays special attention to environmental issues and biodiversity conservation. Environmental care is an integral part of the Company’s corporate culture and social responsibility. Rosneft and its subsidiaries implement numerous grant programs to support scientific and applied projects aimed at studying and protecting rare species of animals and plants.
Last year, Rosneft launched a new biodiversity conservation program called Tamura. Its goal is to update information on the state of key animal species in the region, including its bioindicators. By 2027, research will be conducted on the Taimyr Peninsula on reindeer, polar bears, valuable bird species, and fish in the mouth of the Yenisei River. A total of 10 expeditions will be conducted over 4 years. This year, Rosneft has already conducted two scientific expeditions to study the populations of polar bears and marine mammals in the Kara Sea. The main goal of the research in the north of Krasnoyarsk Krai and on the Yamal Peninsula is a full-scale census, assessment of the distribution of polar bears using instrumental (photo and infrared aerial photography) and aerial visual methods.
