Dmitry Chernyshenko sent greetings to the participants of the Nauka 0 festival, which opened in the city of Shenzhen in China
Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko sent greetings to the participants of the Nauka 0 festival, which opened in the city of Shenzhen in China. The event is being held as part of the foreign program of the Decade of Science and Technology, announced by the President of Russia.
“This year, the Open Week is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China and the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and China. 10 years ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping made a historic decision to establish a joint university, MSU-PPI. During this time, it has become the flagship of bilateral cooperation in higher education, science and innovation. Today, more than 3.4 thousand undergraduate and graduate students study at 14 faculties at MSU-PPI, and large advanced research centers have been created. The landmark initiative of MSU and its rector Viktor Antonovich Sadovnichy – the Open Week Nauka 0 in China – is another bridge of friendship between our countries, their university and academic communities,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Dmitry Chernyshenko added that the main theme of the week – “Science Around Us” – will unite more than 500 different events. Leading Russian and Chinese scientists, popularizers of science and representatives of science-intensive companies will share their knowledge and practices in the field of research and development.
Rector of Moscow University, Academician Viktor Sadovnichy, speaking about the Nauka 0 Open Week in Shenzhen, noted the importance of the event for the development of science and education.
“This is the second time that we are holding the Nauka 0 Open Week at the joint Russian-Chinese university MSU-PPI. This is a gift from the university community of Russia and China to all those who share our conviction that science and education are the key areas of civilization development and the basis for cooperation between peoples in the modern world. As part of the Nauka 0 Open Week, our students and teachers, as well as leading scientists from academic institutes, will take part in hundreds of popular science and educational events. Their goal is to once again remind society of the results and significance of the researcher’s work. It is important to demonstrate, using outstanding scientific achievements as an example, how scientists’ discoveries affect our present and future,” Viktor Sadovnichy emphasized.
On the Russian side, the festival is organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia with the support of Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Russian Academy of Sciences, scientific and educational organizations and corporations. On the Chinese side, the organizers are the joint Russian-Chinese university MSU-PPI in Shenzhen, and the government of Shenzhen.
Leading Russian scientists will give popular science lectures from October 25 to 27. During master classes, festival visitors will also learn what liquid wires are, create a magnet, feed a single-celled hydra, and extract DNA from a banana. They will see a unique FNIRS device designed to read brain parameters in several people at the same time. Visitors will also try to determine the age of a fish by its scales, print their own DNA on a 3D printer, and learn Chinese calligraphy. And during a “bio tour,” participants will learn about the flora of the MSU-PPI campus.
The festival aims to tell the general public in a clear and accessible language what science is, what scientists do, how scientific research improves the quality of life and what prospects it opens up for modern man.
