Chairperson of the SPbGASU Young Scientists Council Aleksandra Glukhova, head of the student scientific society of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Ksenia Ivanyuzhenko and student of the Faculty of Forensics and Law in Construction and Transport Kirill Besedin took part in the XIII Congress of councils of young scientists and student scientific societies "From the depths of traditions to the heights of technology", which was held from 2 to 5 July in Ufa.
This year, the congress was the largest in its history. Its main objective was to involve young people in the development of science to ensure Russia's technological leadership. Numerous sessions, divided into blocks, provided an opportunity to adopt experience and directly ask questions of interest to leading representatives of the business community, science and the state. The sessions were held in various formats: reports, master classes, panel discussions, round tables.
"I especially remember the panel discussion "How to become a rector?" and the round table of the industry community "Construction and architecture". There were many opportunities to prove yourself at the congress: to participate in sessions, in special stations from partners, in the evening program, which helped to establish useful connections. I received a powerful boost of motivation: when you find yourself in an environment of like-minded people, where everyone's eyes light up from what they do, it is impossible to remain indifferent," noted Ksenia Ivanyuzhenko
"During the congress, we managed to attend many lectures, round tables, scientific discussions and other events dedicated to issues of scientific careers, interaction between science and business, grant support for young scientists, advanced information technologies. In addition, a wonderful program of informal events was organized, as a result of which we were able to meet and communicate with outstanding figures in modern science, establish friendly relations with representatives of student scientific societies of Moscow State University, the Academy under the President of the Russian Federation, the Customs Academy, which, I hope, will become the necessary foundation for organizing inter-university scientific events," said Kirill Besedin.
"An important milestone of the congress was the creation of the industry community "Construction and Architecture", which included representatives of such specialized universities as the Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, Tomsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Penza State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Moscow Architectural Institute and others. In the round table format, we discussed the problems of organizing scientific activity within our areas and outlined ways to combine efforts in promoting research by young scientists, holding joint events and exchanging experience.
I managed to talk with the Chairman of the Coordination Council for Youth Affairs in the Scientific and Educational Spheres of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Science and Education Nikita Marchenkov and discuss issues of participation of representatives of the "Construction and Architecture" community in the sessions of the Congress of Young Scientists," said Aleлыandra Glukhova
