The Union State plans to establish an award in the field of science and technology

The Union State plans to establish a prize for achievements in the field of science and technology. This was announced on November 15 by the chairman of the State Committee for Science and Technology of Belarus Alexander Shumilin. “On December 8, the Union State Council of Ministers will be held, which will consider, among other issues, the establishment of a prize for science and technology of the Union State. Belarus initiated this process. We believe that the Union State should have such a prize so that the best scientists, developers in the field of science and technology, together with Russia, should be encouraged every two years. This will be another incentive to draw attention to our developments and scientists, “said Alexander Shumilin. The establishment of this award will be considered today and at the first meeting of the commission on a single scientific and technological space of the Union State, which is being held at the Belarusian National Technical University. Among other topics on the agenda is the expansion of the list of joint projects, which, after discussion at the meeting, can receive approval for implementation and determine the sources of funding. “Subcommittees will be created for key industries, in which both Belarus and Russia have a serious backlog: industry, energy, healthcare, petrochemistry,” added the chairman of the State Committee for Science and Technology.
