Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov welcomed participants of the VIII Professorial Forum "Science and Education: Development Strategies."
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov welcomed participants of the 8th Professorial Forum "Science and Education: Development Strategies." This year, the event brought together over 1,500 representatives of the scientific and university communities, as well as business representatives.
"As our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, emphasizes, quality education is the foundation of national security and sovereignty. It is you, the professorial community, who cultivate talented personnel, systematize knowledge, and lay the foundation for the long-term development of our country," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
He noted that the forum is an important platform for constructive dialogue between representatives of science and education, government, and business: "This year, the forum brought together more than 1,500 participants. We see that your work is yielding practical results. The community is growing. Over the past nine years, regional branches of the professorial assembly have been established in 82 regions of our country, bringing together more than 6,000 professors from several hundred universities."
He noted that important national awards for the academic community have been established, such as “Professor of the Year,” “Dean of the Year,” “Vice-Rector for Research,” and “Rector of the Year.”
"At the forum, you will be able to exchange experiences and discuss key issues concerning the future of Russian education and science. One of the key objectives is to combine scientific knowledge with practice while preserving the best traditions of the Russian school system. This is the goal of the new Education Development Strategy to 2036, which was developed at the direction of the President, and in whose preparation you played a direct and active role, for which we, of course, thank you," added Dmitry Chernyshenko.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister wished the forum participants success, fruitful discussions, promising and interesting ideas, and the implementation of their plans.
In his speech, Minister of Education and Science Valery Falkov noted the contribution of teachers to the country's achievement of technological leadership.
"It's crucial that the teaching community is renewing itself. Today, more than a quarter of our faculty are young scientists ready to invest their energy and talent in nurturing new generations of creators. We, in turn, will continue to create favorable working conditions for our teams. Our flagship projects, Priority 2030, Advanced Engineering Schools, and the campus construction program, are aimed at achieving this," the minister emphasized.
