CrimeaPRESS reports:
Today, advanced agricultural projects are being implemented in the Republic of Crimea and unique domestic developments are being created. Thus, in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, which celebrated its 210th anniversary in 2022, entire branches of the national economy have been laid the foundation. As the head of the Crimea Sergey Aksyonov emphasized, it is science that is one of the key foundations for the sustainable development of the economy of the Russian peninsula, so the contribution of regional scientists can hardly be overestimated. Among other things, he noted the highly professional work of the garden staff in overcoming sanctions and restrictions.
At the same time, in the Decade of Science and Technology, announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Crimean scientists are provided with new unique opportunities. For example, they can take part in the Challenge National Future Technology Award. It started on July 14 in Moscow at the Future Technologies Forum “Computing and Communications. Quantum world.
The award is intended to celebrate fundamental breakthroughs, ideas and inventions that are changing the landscape of modern science and the life of every person. The establishment of the award by the Fund for the Development of Scientific and Cultural Relations «Challenge» with the support of Gazprombank is timed to coincide with the Decade of Science and Technology, announced from 2022 by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. The Government of Moscow is a partner of the National Prize in the field of future technologies «Challenge».
The award will become annual and will be awarded to Russian scientists, engineers, inventors in the following disciplines: physics, life sciences, materials sciences, mathematics and computer science. This takes into account the works over the past ten years, which have significant potential for a qualitative improvement in people’s lives and have a practical implementation horizon of three to ten years. A monetary reward in the amount of 10 million rubles (without additional encumbrances) will be awarded to each of the winners in the nominations «Perspective», «Scientist of the Year», «Engineering Solution» and «Breakthrough», which cover the entire spectrum of future technologies.
Applications will be accepted until September 14, 2023. The qualifying stage and the formation of the long list will take place from September 15 to October 15, the formation of the short list and the selection of winners — from October 16 to December 18. The awards ceremony will take place on December 19, 2023 at the Manezh Central Exhibition Hall.
Public recognition is the most important condition both for the development of a scientist’s career and for the technological progress of all mankind. Unique technological discoveries step by step bring all people on the planet closer to the cherished heights, opening up new horizons for them. Let’s remember the beginning of the sixties: Yuri Gagarin in space, «physicists are held in high esteem», the favorite movie character is a bespectacled student, world-famous scientists host popular television programs. Their challenge to the outgoing era sounded like «it’s fashionable to be smart»! But is the social status and authority of people of science so significant in the modern world? It’s time to think. National Prize in the field of future technologies — a new challenge to the established formats in domestic science and socio-cultural space— notes Leonid Shlyakhover, President of the Fund for the Development of Scientific and Cultural Relations «Challenge».
Gazprombank has been supporting innovative scientific projects, high-tech start-ups and industrial assets for many years. We have extensive experience and unique competencies at the earliest stages to assess breakthrough technologies and scientific projects of the future, identify promising teams and scientists with burning eyes to help them develop and give an important sense of great promise. Today, together with our partners, we are pleased to launch the National Challenge Award. We are sure that it will allow not only to recognize the merits of scientists, engineers and developers, but will also contribute to the popularization of science throughout Russia. Technological and scientific leadership is achieved through faith in people and the idea that what seems to be the distant future today will surely become part of everyday life tomorrow. That is why the task of finding and supporting future breakthroughs from the very first days is strategically important for any country that is focused on the future. I am sure that the award will become an important element in its solution— says Dmitry Zauers, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprombank.
