Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the public organization “All-Russian Society of Inventors and Innovators”
A meeting of the board of trustees of the public organization “All-Russian Society of Inventors and Rationalizers” (VOIR) was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that VOIR, as one of the oldest public organizations with more than 90 years of history, should make a significant contribution to achieving the national goal of technological leadership.
“In order for VOIR to continue to be a platform for exchanging experience, generating new ideas and supporting inventors, it is necessary to build systemic work in all regions of the country. But the creation of new regional organizations is only the first step. It is necessary to cover all regions and establish close interaction between them so that the best solutions can be scaled up and used everywhere. It is also important to integrate VOIR events into the educational programs of schools, colleges and universities,” emphasized Dmitry Chernyshenko, Chairman of the VOIR Board of Trustees.
In addition, it is necessary to create a mentoring system where experienced inventors and engineers can pass on their knowledge and skills to the younger generation. This will help maintain continuity and create conditions for the formation of new professional communities within the VOIR structure.
Chairman of the Central Council of VOIR, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education Vladimir Kononov spoke about the results of the society’s work, projects being implemented and plans for the coming years.
Today, VOIR is represented in 77 regions, and over 100 thousand inventors and innovators are members of the organization. The VOIR festival “Science and Inventions for Life” is held annually. Over two years, its events were held in 35 regions, with over 650 thousand people taking part. In 2025, the focus will be on thematic events dedicated to the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland and the 80th anniversary of Victory, as well as on expanding international cooperation with friendly countries. The All-Russian competition “Inventor of the Year” is held annually. Together with Rospatent, VOIR holds the competition “Capital of Invention”: in 2025, this status was awarded to the Novgorod Region.
The meeting also discussed the objectives of VOIR for 2025. These include the popularization of technical creativity and inventive activity and the involvement of young people in it, in particular through promoting the development of student design bureaus at universities and cooperation with schools. In addition, the objectives include the creation of a center for the development of invention methods and the implementation of educational programs for inventors, the development and implementation of new digital services, the launch of a comprehensive program to support inventors, and the rating of the activities of regional organizations.
“Ultimately, all of our proposals are aimed at increasing the number of citizens involved in the inventive and rationalization movement, and therefore increasing the number of new developments and technologies that will be implemented at our enterprises and ensure the technological leadership of our country,” said Vladimir Kononov.
Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov noted that the Ministry of Education is open to cooperation with the All-Russian Society of Inventors and Innovators in implementing joint projects for the younger generation.
“As part of our cooperation, we are ready to offer, firstly, to hold a class called “Conversations about the Important”, where schoolchildren will be told about the All-Russian Society of Inventors and Innovators and the opportunities it creates for young people. Secondly, we can include the topic of inventions in the career guidance course “Russia – My Horizons”. In addition, we are holding new Olympiads for schoolchildren – on unmanned aerial systems and robotics. And we can make the society our partner in holding them. These are relevant areas that are in great demand today,” added Sergey Kravtsov.
The head of the Ministry of Education emphasized that the participation of society in the activities of the centers “Kvantorium”, “Tochka Rosta” and “IT-Kube” could become an opportunity for cooperation. Sergey Kravtsov also proposed considering cooperation in the area of secondary vocational education, in the system of which there are a large number of technical specialties.
Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Konstantin Mogilevsky outlined possible areas of cooperation between VOIR and universities, including the work of student design bureaus, youth laboratories, student scientific societies, and student technological entrepreneurship.
“All schools in Mordovia have “Growth Points”, quantum centers are open – the technical base is huge, our talented youth have something to work with. I am sure that the public and state status of VOIR will help us solve the most serious problems of technological sovereignty,” said the head of the Republic of Mordovia, Artem Zdunov.
The meeting of the board of trustees was also attended by representatives of the Presidential Administration of Russia for Public Projects, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Finance, the State Duma, Rospatent, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, other government agencies, companies, educational institutions, and regions.
