Highly effective antitumor drugs, prototype propulsion system for supersonic aircraft, creation of highly active genetically engineered strain for obtaining new generation vaccines with potentially enhanced immunogen. And also the development of a complex of the latest technologies and technical means for preserving and maintaining the functionality of closed reclamation systems. This is only a small part of what our scientists managed to create and improve in just one year, 2022. There will surely be even more discoveries in 2023, especially since this is a special year for belarusian science. To the main Scientific Center of the country on october 13. Exactly 95 years old, what a reason to find out why it all began, to understand in detail modern scientific trends and, of course, to look into the future, this is what we will do together in the next half hour, in the studio ekaterina beretskaya, hello, the science project is on air nearby and look in the program, from inbelcult to the main scientific one. Countries, lets start , according to tradition, with the history of the issue a focus on medicine, biotechnology, agronavation and Artificial Intelligence, about the most promising directions for the development of belarusian science, well talk in the Program Studio with the chief scientific secretary National Academy of sciences of our country. And belarusian science in the world, we will tell you about Key International projects soon. A landmark year for belarusian science in the last century was 1922, when the institute of belarusian culture was created. It is on its basis that, 6 years later, the Belarusian Academy of sciences will be founded. This day, october 13, 1928 , is considered to be the birthday. At the time of the grand opening, which took place on january 1, 1929, there were 128 people on staff. Historian headed the Belarusian Academy of sciences vsevolod ignatovsky. And in 1941, it was already a leading research center, 12 divisions, including nine institutes and 750 employees, but the Rapid Development was stopped by the great patriotic laboratory library. Scientific equipment was burned and looted by the nazis. After the liberation of minsk, in less than a year by the beginning of 1945 , eight academic institutes resumed their work. And by the beginning of the 51st century , the structure of the academy of sciences will already have almost 30 research institutions. The main guideline for scientists at that time was queries national economy. Research and training of specialists with the support of the government of belarus and the us. The ussr, and then the ninetyfirst collapse of the soviet union and the difficult, but ultimately successful path of science to sovereign belarus. In 1997, president Alexander Lukashenko signed decree number 281. The academy of sciences became national and acquired the status of the countrys highest state scientific organization. Responsible for coordinating and conducting basic Scientific Research. Today the National Academy of sciences employs almost 14,000 people, geography of institutes and centers, the whole country. We will talk about the latest scientific developments and promising areas of Research Today in the Program Studio with the chief scientific secretary of the academy of sciences of belarus vasily lenindevich, hello, hello, and of course, happy holiday to you, thank you very much, i understand that there is not enough time for our program to tell about all the discoveries that have been made over these 95 years, so i propose to focus on, well, lets say, the main areas to start with, this is medicine, here, it seems to me, like nowhere else, science and practice are very, very closely connected. In the field of medicine and pharmacy, as well as veterinary medicine, the academy of sciences has about 16 organizations from different departments, including agricultural sciences, biological sciences, and the department of chemistry and others, the Main Enterprises that are directly involved in the production of pharmaceutical products, at the academy of sciences is the institute of biorganic chemistry and the academy of pharm. Other organizations are also developing and developing new generation vaccines. In in particular, on instructions from the president , the academy of sciences was actively involved in the development of a Covid Vaccine at the time when this arose. And at the moment, in close cooperation with the ministry of health, a prototype of a Covid Vaccine has been developed, which has already passed preclinical tests, and is currently being prepared for implementation into practice. Currently, also on behalf of the head of state , the academy of sciences is involved in the development of a flu vaccine. The flu is constantly mutating, new strains are constantly appearing, in this regard, since threats constantly arise, in in terms of medicine, last year the academy of sciences created a center for applied virology, which is called upon to conduct research in this direction. In addition, at the institute of biorganic chemistry, we have developed modern drugs for these diseases at the global level, that is, there are no such drugs in the world, we have an academic farm based on substances that are developed by the institute of biorganic chemistry, which produces drugs directly, which go to pharmacies and against colds, they also help against the flu well, there are a lot of diseases, in particular joint disease, and a whole line of these drugs, very good developments at the academy of sciences in the field of veterinary medicine, and other areas, if im not mistaken, we heard about more than a year ago. Creation of an academic it city, tell us how things are now, where are we going . In the academy of sciences, the United Institute of informatics problems is responsible for this area, on the basis of which the it academy is being created, an academic one. Currently , all documents have been prepared, created laboratory, a team has been created that is leading the development. This direction is being developed according to a cluster type, that is, by uniting various organizations and laboratories , which, by combining their efforts, create. A finished Product Software that is produced by our United Institute of Computer Science problems, it is in demand primarily for clinics, so it was created a whole system of interactive hospital records, which is now in operation, very good reviews are coming from both practicing doctors and hospitals, clinics are connected to this system, patients have good reviews, doctors use it directly in order to quickly see information about patients, accordingly , the time for servicing the patient is reduced, and quality improves. Opep also created a very interesting product, this is a Neural Learning Network that allows you to analyze xray images of patients , based on this, it automatically determines where the lesions are, where there are possible diseases, and marks them, allocates them to the doctor more easily, time is reduced, and accuracy is increasing, and many other products are being developed, as i already said, precisely for the needs of our economy. Since we touched on the topic of Artificial Intelligence, i understand that our scientists, as well as the world, are moving in this direction, and, in addition to medicine, maybe some other research is being carried out now, Artificial Intelligence is being used in particular for the development of precision agriculture, yes, agriculture, we are also developing agricultural equipment, which, with the help of Artificial Intelligence systems, allows for example, hilling to grow. Adjust the working tool in such a way that it does not damage the plants themselves, but works precisely between the rows, but this is just an example , there are a lot of such examples, my colleagues are ready to continue the agricultural topic that we started, lets see the plot, and then we will definitely come back, there is a common joke among scientific farmers, this science has four problems, spring, summer, autumn for. But even with these seemingly unshakable inputs , our scientists have learned to cope. For example, this year alone, more than ten varieties of grains have been developed that adapt to any weather. Another direction in the agricultural science of our country is from the north, clayey chernozems such as in russia or ukraine, we have only 4 . But despite this, scientists have achieved excellent yields and now we can safely say that our country is independent in the matter of food security, but this was not always the case. This is quite important, you know, if you analyze any state, and many scientists have stated that if it were richer all natural minerals. Minerals, everything they had, but it is independent, if agriculture is not developed , first of all, in order to destroy the state, it is necessary to destroy agriculture, you and i, in our example, we saw all this, there was a rich the soviet union , where the collapse began, with empty shelves in stores, when hungry miners, like the president , came to the square, and when pensioners at the store did not know what to buy . And the americans helped us first to destroy, and then the bush legs flew in to feed unfortunate poor belarus. After the collapse of the soviet union, there was no grain in our country, now its simply impossible to imagine. Now we are collecting 7 and a half, but this year its about 8 million, we are increasing the analysis a little. All this is thanks, of course, to our agriculture, and at the head of agriculture. Agricultural science is at the forefront of production. As the president of our country Alexander Lukashenko stated, each agricultural worker feeds 35 people. And it was agricultural science that made it possible to reach this level. It is concentrated in the scientific and Practical Center for agriculture in zhodino. In it and in its subsidiaries, scientists study the soil. To make it more fertile, they create amenities. To prevent crops from dying from pests, Plant Protection products are created. Only an integrated approach in this area made it possible to create. Such Raw Materials for the Food Industry of our country that every belarusian, and foreigner knows, food created in our country is already a brand. You are watching the science project nearby and dont miss any further. Belarusians at the ends of the earth, what are their challenges . Before the participants of the sixteenth antarctic expedition. Its much more difficult when youre alone. Well tell you about the Largest International scientific projects of recent years, and well find out very soon what kind of Belarusian Academy of sciences of the future it is. Vasily leonidovich, another top topic is space, yes, whats there, except that we are now preparing to send a belarusian girl there. It has been known to be in orbit for more than 10 years. Our belarusian satellite for Remote Sensing of the earth flies, it was designed for 5 years, but worked for 10, that is this speaks about the quality of our development and production of this satellite, and space, like antarctica, is an extremely aggressive environment, that is, many devices there fail even that would work on earth for decades, these are very complex, high technologies, currently, the academy of sciences is developing a new satellite for Remote Sensing of the earth beyond high. Resolution, if that one had a resolution of 2 m, then this one will be 0. 35 m, higher, and in general, within the framework of the implementation of the union program, the sg complex is expected the creation of a constellation of satellites for Remote Sensing of the earth and in general monitoring of the earths surface, which, of course, is primarily aimed at solving peaceful purposes, this is the detection of manmade disasters, forest fires, for research in terms of searching for minerals, for laying roads, now. Burning data from an existing earth Remote Sensing satellite, this data is used by more than eleven ministries in the republic of belarus to solve applied problems that are very pressing, and if without satellite, it would have been necessary to spend much more money to solve them, that is, this is a direct saving of resources, the state is very useful for many, many purposes , the belarusian cosmonaut is now being trained, in addition to the flight itself, which is undoubtedly a very important phenomenon, this cosmonaut has been asked to carry out a whole series of Scientific Research in space, but scientists are directly involved in preparing the program for this research. And biological research, and medical research, not just a flight, it will really be work, very serious scientific work, yes, i know that serious scientific work is being carried out by our scientists at the ends of the earth, now they are already preparing for the sixteenth, and antarctic expedition, the trip is supposed to be 13 people this time, well , before there were 12, the general focus of research is climatology, flora and fauna, ecology, and also testing and studying the operation of our devices , which are produced at the academy of sciences, in critical conditions, we took our drone there, and it turned out to work very well, even in such conditions, and there it is very difficult, thanks to our belarusian made technology, our polar explorers managed to advance more than 200 km into the continent and expand the Research Area of the belarusian expedition. How are things going with the youth and personnel . But even so, we have noticed over the last five years, probably, but certainly in the academy of sciences, there are more young specialists, are they willing to come . Every year the academy of Sciences Receives about 300 of the best graduates of our universities, in principle, for the academy of sciences, this is quite enough to replenish and even expand the Scientific Team of all organizations, the rejuvenation of the academy of sciences is indeed underway, at the moment more than 30 of scientists in the academy of sciences belong to the category of young scientists, that is, up to 30 years old, and this is wonderful, the average age of the academy of sciences is now 48 years, although literally 56 years ago, it was more than 60 years old, middle age, that is, there is obvious rejuvenation on the face, well, we can see this from the results, we have announced a large number of competitions for young people, and recently we had a science festival and the results of the competition are presented there 100 young innovations scientists conducted by the academy of sciences, and a whole series of new, very Interesting Research results of young scientists, we then reward them not only with diplomas, but also with valuable gifts and prizes, this business is stimulated very actively by organizations, and you are solving the housing problem, as far as i know , good housing policy, the academy of sciences not only has its own dormitory and a fairly normal situation with apartments, but also operates its own kindergartens, academic ones, which, well. Are not the best, has its own sanatorium, here is islach, has its own clinic, that is, a whole series, a whole complex of social facilities that attract young people to the academy of sciences, and not only young people, in general, i myself enjoyed a vacation in our sanatorium, and this also stimulates and motivates people for better results, which stimulates and what motivates young scientists, my colleagues just asked them, come on . Historian stanislav yurievsky now heads the Central Scientific Library of the academy of sciences, but he knew that he would become a scientist back in the ninth grade; his school once helped him find himself a history teacher, and now stanislav helps those who recently came to science to find themselves in science; he is the chairman of the council of young scientists of the Belarusian Academy of sciences. The network of young scientists is a public body that operates under the presidium of the National Academy of sciences of belarus, it was created in order to introduce more active youth to the most promising scientific developments in general to scientific activities, that is, we work with young scientists who are already working in the structure of the academy sciences, these are young people under the age of 35 this is masters students, graduate students, researchers, candidates of sciences and doctors of sciences under the age of 40, and the council of young scientists is happy to work with schoolchildren, students, so that they too soon become part of a large scientific community. This is our main task, for these purposes we organize a number of fairly large events, the most famous of which are, firstly , the science festival, the largest Popular Science event that comes annually to the central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of sciences of belarus, this international a conference of young scientists of youth in science annually, which hosts a number of different schools for young scientists, seminars, round tables and so on.
