Belarus, Russia develop new scientific programs in 3D printing, space, fundamental research
MINSK, 26 January (BelTA) - Sergei Chizhik, First Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, talked about new Union State programs in science during a press conference on 26 January, BelTA has learned.
“Belarusian scientists are heavily involved in Union State programs in science and technology. Several programs are currently underway but two dozen more are in the pipeline. We choose the most promising areas. By the way, for the first time we are considering implementing a Union State program in fundamental research. As a rule, we focus on applied research but without the appropriate groundwork in fundamental research we are limiting our prospects. So, we have already started to work on such a program. There are proposals from Russian partners,” Sergei Chizhik noted.
