At the XIII All-Russian Congress of Councils of Young Scientists and Student Scientific Societies, which is taking place in Ufa, one of the key events was the panel discussion “Youth and Technologies of Tomorrow: Development of New Ideas in Industrial Business”. The moderator was Vice-Rector for Research at SPbPU Yuri Fomin.
Starting the conversation, Yuri Fomin recalled the definition of technological leadership, which consists of the superiority of technologies and products in key parameters (functional, technical, economic) over foreign analogues. Then, representatives of business and science discussed the moderator’s questions about how technological leadership is achieved and why business needs science.
Heads of departments of PJSC Rostelecom, JSC Valenta Pharm, JSC UEC, PJSC Aeroflot, and OOO SIBUR Innovations told how they implement science in their companies. The main conclusion is that science is necessary for business, but it does not necessarily have to be within its structure. Then the participants discussed how to attract young scientists to this process and what measures are needed for effective interaction.
Deputy Director General of the Roscongress Directorate for Scientific and Technological Programs Oleg Karasev spoke about measures of state support for such interaction. Participants named the main qualities that enterprises in various fields need from young scientists: communication skills, experience, energy, a clear goal in research, and focus on the development tasks of a specific business.
Among the most popular areas discussed by company representatives at the panel discussion were quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, pharmaceutical production, polymer and composite materials, additive technologies and predictive analysis.
Summing up, Yuri Fomin noted that all companies, regardless of their field of activity, are united by the need to implement artificial intelligence technologies. It is logical to assume that projects using AI will be most in demand, and young scientists need to take this into account.
The congress included a ceremony to award diplomas to the winners of the competition for grants from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in support of student scientific communities. Among those awarded was Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Diplomas were received by the curator of the Student Scientific Society Victoria Brazovskaya, the secretary of the SPbPU SSS Grigory Romanov and the representative of the SSS of the Humanitarian Institute Mikhail Murashko.
The congress will last until July 4 and has gathered about 1,300 participants from all over Russia, including new regions – the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. Representatives from Belarus, China, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan are also participating in the event.
