Where can you meet contemporary Russian scientists and learn about the breakthrough discoveries made in our country? Innovative materials, artificial intelligence, environmental protection, modern medicines, genetic and neurotechnologies, and space exploration—these and other fields are highlighted by the participants of the "Science in Faces" exhibition, which opened at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.
This year, four scientists from St. Petersburg took part in the project.
Vadim Popkov — laureate of the 2024 Presidential Prize in Science and Innovation for Young Scientists, Head of the Laboratory of Materials and Processes for Hydrogen Energy at the A.F. Ioffe Physicotechnical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Elena Korochkina — laureate of the 2024 Presidential Prize in Science and Innovation for Young Scientists, Professor at the Department of Genetic and Reproductive Biotechnology at the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine Artem Nosov — laureate of the 2024 Government Prize in Science and Technology for Young Scientists, Head of the Research Laboratory (Military Surgery), Deputy Head of the Research Department (Experimental Medicine) of the Research Center of the Military Medical Academy Alina Cherepovitsyna — Head of the Laboratory at the Institute of Economic Problems named after G. P. Luzin, Kola Science Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Chief Researcher, Research Institute "Center for Environmental Industrial Policy"
In the Technopolis Polytech research building, SPbPU students, faculty, and guests will see portraits of 23 outstanding Russian scientists—winners of the Russian Presidential Prize in Science and Innovation for Young Scientists, the Russian Government Prize in Science and Technology for Young Scientists, and other key scientific awards; participants in meetings with the Russian President on the sidelines of the Congress of Young Scientists; winners of Russian Science Foundation competitions; and employees of leading Russian scientific organizations.
The 2025 exhibition will feature scientists from 14 Russian regions—authors of breakthrough scientific research in the fields of climate change in the Arctic, the biology of aging, genetic technologies, the economics of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as developments in sensor interfaces, generative artificial intelligence algorithms, innovative medical devices, composites for radiation safety in space, new organic compounds with high nitrogen content, and more.
The project will also be presented at major universities in other cities: Arkhangelsk, Kazan, Saratov, Tomsk, and Ufa. The project's participants will participate in scientific events and discussions and give lectures on their research and opportunities for young scientists in various fields. The exhibition will conclude at the 5th Anniversary Congress of Young Scientists—the key event of the Decade of Science and Technology, which will be held at Sirius University of Science and Technology from November 26 to 28, 2025.
The "Science in Faces" exhibition is supported by the Coordinating Council for Youth Affairs in Science and Education of the Presidential Council for Science and Education of the Russian Federation and a grant from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation as part of the Decade of Science and Technology declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The exhibition is part of the "Science Nearby" initiative. The project partner is Sibur, a leader in the Russian petrochemical industry. The exhibition concept was developed in collaboration with the Snob media project, the creative partner of "Science in Faces."
