On February 8, Russia celebrates the professional holiday of researchers and scientists – Russian Science Day.
The history of this date dates back to the reign of Peter the Great, who on February 8, 1724, issued a decree on the development of science in the Russian state. This decree led to the establishment of the first Academy of Sciences and Arts, which offered training to talented people of all social classes and financial backgrounds. In honor of the 275th anniversary of its founding in 1999, Russian Science Day was officially established.
And today is a great time to look back and evaluate your achievements in this area over the past year since the last celebration.
During this time, the State University of Management established a Center for Space Research, Unmanned and Radioelectronic Technologies and opened several new laboratories: the Center for Digital Innovations for Industry at the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School, created jointly with the Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technological University, and the Center for Numerical Control Systems (NCS), launched with a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science.
A major scientific project, the Digital Village, is underway. It is being developed in consortium with the Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center (Omsk ASC) and Udmurt State University (UDU). A grant has been received for the development of a technology for controlling swarms of unmanned aerial systems. More than ten projects have been implemented for our industrial partners, and work has begun on new developments.
Young scientists and representatives of the SUM administration participated in dozens of scientific events and forums, where they discussed technological entrepreneurship, space personnel, game modeling, unmanned systems, the future of the Arctic, and other topics. They also held a summer engineering and economics school, won the first student design bureau competition, the second competition for young scientists, and won the best space dictation in the country, receiving medals from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
We congratulate everyone involved on this wonderful celebration of science and progress: not only scientists and researchers, but each of us, because science has long been a part of everyday life, and we can all make our own contribution to it.
We wish you creative ideas, inspiration, and exciting research topics. May this year bring us new discoveries, breakthrough achievements, and new facets of the familiar. Happy Russian Science Day!
