On March 27, the first stage of the XIII Forum of Universities of Engineering and Technology of the Union State took place at VDNH in Moscow. As part of the forum, 60 young scientists and graduate students from Belarusian universities visited the International Exhibition and Forum “Russia”. Our university was represented by Ekaterina Kulesh, a researcher at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry and Technologies of Micro- and Nanoscale Systems, and Alexander Mayevsky, a junior researcher at the Problem Research Laboratory of Advanced Materials. Young scientists got acquainted with a large-scale exhibition of the achievements of Russian regions, visited the pavilions of the state corporation Rosatom, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation (“Made by us”).
The forum was organized by the Standing Committee of the Union State in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia and the Ministry of Education of Belarus. The key event of the forum was a meeting of a delegation of Belarusian scientists with the leadership of the above institutions.

“The interpenetration of ideas and cooperation in the academic environment is one of the main mechanisms for the development of union science. This year the Forum of Engineering and Technology Universities will be held for the 13th time. This wonderful initiative has become a tradition and allows us to maintain close contacts between young scientists. We see the result of this work. In particular, the first engineering school has appeared in our country, which is coordinated by the Belarusian National Technical University and Pskov State University,” noted Petr Pekutko, Head of the Department of Science and Innovation Activities of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus.
