The Congress of Presidents of Councils of Young Scientists of Novosibirsk Scientific Center and the Leaders of the Young Academies of South East Asia. The forum will be the first event of the Council of Young Scientists of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the framework of the “Eastern vector” of collaboration in the context of the Russian science reorganization and a uniting event for the leaders of the Councils of Young Scientists of research institutes of Novosibirsk Scientific Center. In the first part of the event the members will present their youth associations and discuss promising mechanisms of youth organizations cooperation in the framework of existing programs of scientific and technical collaboration between Russia and Southeast Asia, as well as mechanisms of support of teams of youth scientific and innovative projects, including international ones. The second part of the Forum will be connected with discussing questions of working out proposals of the Council of Young Scientists in the context of the Russian science reorganization, the possibility to involve young scientists in expert activity, presenting the most relevant information on the existing possibilities of solving housing problems of young scientists of Novosibirsk Scientific Center and peculiarities of participation in various improvements to dwelling programs, in building societies in particular.
The international interdisciplinary seminar “Food security as a priority of interstate interaction in the field of scientific and technical cooperation”. During the last 20 years the food market has changed dramatically, and its development is accompanied by the active implementation of innovations in the field of ready-made food products: controlled-quality goods, special nutrition products, nutraceuticals. The world food market has become a field for scientific experiments and substantially extended the potential of application of scientific work of researchers specializing in different fields: chemistry, biology, geoinformatics, mathematical modeling, ecology, agricultural sciences. The interdisciplinary seminar on food topics is held to search for new research directions of current importance for integration projects of young researchers of Novosibirsk Scientific Center and Southeast Asia. At the seminar promising technologies and products, which will form the basis for the development of collaboration in the framework of the “Eastern vector”, will be presented; the questions of possibilities to increase the role of independent scientific expertise, which must become a significant barrier for food imitations and surrogates production in the context of ambivalence of innovations on the food market, will also be discussed.
Questions for discussion:
- What directions of food topics in the framework of scientific and technical collaboration between Russia and Southeast Asia are the most essential?
- How to increase the expert role of science in the assessment of ambivalence of innovations on the food and raw materials market?
- Is wider approbation of scientific work in food industry possible?
- The use of modern technologies in the food industry: increase in the effectiveness or security threat?
- With what main problems do researchers face during development and implementation of innovative foodstuff?
The international round table “Promising areas of cooperation between Russia and Southeast Asia in the field of science and innovation: a view of young scientists”. The round table will enable to discuss and elaborate the directions of collaboration of young scientists using the existing formats and programs of collaboration stimulation in the field of scientific and scientific-organizational activity of Russia and Southeast Asia and will favor the expansion of the network of young scientists and specialists in Novosibirsk Scientific Center. Based on the results of the round table, the signing of Scientific and Scientific-Organizational Collaboration Agreement between the Council of Young Scientists of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Young Academies in Southeast Asia is planned.
The International round table “Opportunities for cooperation of young scientists of Russia and South-East Asia”.In the framework of this communication platform the discussion and elaboration of mechanisms of participation of young scientists from Russia and Southeast Asia in different kinds of research and innovation activity stimulation is planned. The existing innovation and research projects, which can bring the collaboration between Russia and Southeast Asia to a new level, will be presented to the participants of the round table. Based on the results of the discussion during the round table, the list of promising directions and topics on different fields of sciences in the framework of the existing programs of scientific and technical collaboration between Russia and Southeast Asia in the framework of the “Eastern vector” will be made. After the round table proposals of collaboration in scientific, innovative, and investment spheres of Russia and Southeast Asia in the context of sanctions are supposed to be written and then given to the Head of Youth Coordination Council for Science and Education under the Council of the President of the Russian Federation, to Science Collaboration Department, youth and communication programs of Rossotrudnichestvo, National Academies of Southeast Asia. Signing of the three-power Collaboration Agreement between the Council of Young Scientists of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk Scientific Center and Young Academies of Southeast Asia is also planned.
