Field National projects
To develop science in the country, it is necessary to support young scientists. A number of programs are being carried out in Russia for this purpose.
Mega-grants and not only & nbsp;
For example, thanks to the National Science and Universities Project scientists receive mega-grants: applicants from different regions can receive up to 90 million rubles for their developments. The program also includes internships and professional development. More than 2,500 employees from established laboratories have already taken advantage of this opportunity. & Nbsp;
Also the national project “ Science and Universities '' helps young scientists to thrive in teams of world-class science and education centers (RECs), genomics research centers and international mathematics centers. For example, in the Belgorod region, in the REC 'Innovative solutions in the agro-industrial complex', work is underway in the field of genetics, Animal husbandry and industrial microbiology, in the REC & # 39; & # 39; Kuzbass & # 39; & # 39; are engaged in developments in the field of mineral processing, in the Perm REC “ Rational Subsoil Use & # 39; & # 39; explore hydrocarbons, solid minerals, chemical technologies and related industries, and in the West Siberian interregional REC of the global level & mdash; biosecurity, the arctic environment and the digital transformation of the oil and gas industry.
Over the next three years, additional funds will be spent on supporting projects with the participation of students and young scientists from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF) & mdash; this will help improve the efficiency of their scientific work. At present, the monthly salary of a postgraduate student at the expense of a scholarship from the Russian Science Foundation is on average 34,000 rubles. Last year, around 37,500 researchers participated in projects funded by the Russian Science Foundation. Most were under 39 years old.
Track “ Science '' 'Rulers of Russia' competition
During the Year of Science and Technology, a number of competitions and events are held to support young scientists. For example, from September 16-18, the finale of the track “ Science & # 39; & # 39; took place. 'Leaders of Russia' competition, the flagship project of the Presidential Platform 'Russia' & # 39; a land of opportunity. ' According to its results, the best participants had the opportunity to enter the educational programs of the main universities and scientific organizations, to follow internships and to receive job offers in the relevant ministries, the major universities and large companies. & Nbsp;
Young scientists conduct research in various scientific fields. Winner and Super Finalist of the Science Specialization competition “ Leaders of Russia 2020 '' Alexander Petukhov works at Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. Lobachevsky and the Institute of Applied Mathematics named after M.V. Keldysh Institute of RAS in Moscow. In collaboration with psychiatrists, he is developing an algorithm based on neural networks that can be used to analyze the text of people with deviant behavior. If you integrate the algorithm into a social network, it will reveal the predisposition of people to suicidal tendencies. In addition, the system can detect destructive intentions & mdash; like terrorism and extremism. & nbsp;
Another winner and super finalist of the Leaders of Russia 2020 competition, the head of the laboratory of the Krasnoyarsk State Medical University Artyom Narkevich develops intelligent systems to improve the quality of the diagnosis of various diseases using artificial intelligence. & Nbsp;
Finalist of another specialization of the competition “ Leaders of Russia 2020 '', “ Healthcare '', head of the department of biomedical technologies of the National Center for Medical Research for rehabilitation and balneology of the Ministry of Health of Russia Ilmira Gilmutdinova Along with colleagues, she launched an all-Russian online platform for the rehabilitation and recovery of patients who have recovered from COVID-19. The fact is that in people with a moderate and severe course of this disease, after discharge from the hospital, cough, shortness of breath, signs of hypo- or muscle atrophy and muscle atrophy and Other disorders may persist. The platform helps these patients to recover and improve their health.
President's Award
Last year the President of the Russian Federation in the field of science and innovation for young scientists was awarded for work in biology, artificial intelligence, medicine and physics.
All-Russian Research Employees Institute of Agricultural Microbiology Kirill Antonets and Anton Nizhnikov were awarded for the discovery of amyloid proteins in symbiotic plants and bacteria, as well as for the explanation of their functional significance. & nbsp;
Researchers from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Evgeny Dolgova , Ekaterina Potter and Anastasia Proskurina received an award for the formation of a new ideology in the treatment of patients with malignant tumors based on the coordinated action over time of innovative preparations of nucleic acids and crosslinking cytostatics. Scientists have created a new approach to cancer therapy and proposed two unique technologies to use.
Principal Investigator, Innopolis University Vladimir Maksimenko created brain-computer interfaces to control normal and pathological brain activity. Its development makes it possible to prevent seizures in epileptic patients, to simulate imaginary motor activity for the rehabilitation of patients after stroke and injuries. One of the proposed interfaces determines the degree of concentration, which is especially useful in the educational process.
Head of the laboratory of the Federal Research Center “ Crystallography and Photonics '' RAS Evgeny Khaidukov received the President's Prize “ for fundamental research of anti-Stokes nanocrystals and creation of advanced technologies on their platform. & # 39; & # 39; The development of the scientist can be used in medicine, as well as to protect against counterfeit oil, banknotes, etc.
