List of areas for the formation of applications within the framework of the selection for the creation of new laboratories for 2026

Let us recall that the program for creating youth laboratories was launched in 2018 as part of the national project "Science and Universities". On the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the initiative was extended in the new national project "Youth and Children".

"Our President Vladimir Putin regularly emphasizes the importance of supporting young scientists. The creation of youth laboratories, which is part of the national project "Youth and Children", helps to provide conditions for the development of the potential of such researchers. Currently, more than 9 thousand researchers are already working in them, including more than 6 thousand under the age of 39. This fall, a selection of new laboratories is being carried out. It is planned that it will allow the opening of another 200 such laboratories from 2026, where about 2 thousand jobs will be created," said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

As the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted, the program has shown itself to be quite successful since its first years of operation.

"Youth laboratories were opened on the basis of 254 scientific organizations and 119 universities. As they achieved results, scientists moved from fundamental research to applied tasks in close cooperation with industrial partners – leaders of various industries, such as Gazprom Neft, Biocad or Kaspersky Lab. Work is carried out in various scientific areas, including in accordance with the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development, where priorities include low-tonnage chemistry, artificial intelligence, instrumentation, and medicine. In a short period of time, pilot samples and prototypes of products have been developed. Thus, our brilliant young minds are strengthening the role of science and technology in solving the most important problems of the development of society and the country," the minister noted.

How to become part of the youth laboratory team?

To start working in a youth laboratory, a student must show initiative and interest in scientific activity, as well as meet the requirements established for a specific laboratory, including the availability of a scientific base and interest in a specific area of research.

This autumn, a selection process for the creation of new youth laboratories is being conducted, following which it is planned to create another 200 new laboratories, with their funding beginning in 2026.

Youth Laboratories in Numbers

Over six years (the last selection was held in 2024), the program covered all federal districts and 70 subjects of the country. Among the leaders in the number of laboratories are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk and Nizhny Novgorod regions.

Laboratories operate on the basis of 254 scientific organizations and 119 universities. Leaders in the number of laboratories among scientific organizations and universities:

The teams conduct research. In particular, in 2022 and 2024 they were created in separate priority areas according to the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development, including: low-tonnage chemistry, artificial intelligence, instrumentation, microelectronics, new medicine, new energy, climate, agriculture, and oriental studies.

The team of scientists includes specialists from among postgraduate students, research engineers, university professors, research associates from industry departments and enterprises, and final-year students. Two-thirds of the team are young researchers. Today, more than 9,000 positions are open in 940 laboratories, including more than 6,200 positions for young researchers under 39 years of age. Students of different levels of study and young specialists can also be employed in the laboratory.

Applied results of young scientists

The teams are actively developing and are being replenished with new personnel. A number of laboratories created in 2019 have transformed into large research teams. As they achieved results, scientists moved from the stage of fundamental research to applied tasks. Today, they actively interact with industrial partners.

Among the largest industrial partners are PJSC Gazprom Neft, PJSC Tatneft, Gazprom Mezhregiongaz LLC, JSC Shchyolkovo Agrokhim, JSC Kaspersky Lab, Research and Production Holding AmarantAgro LLC, Rostov Agricultural Machinery Plant LLC, Marine Components and Systems CJSC, Project Systems LLC, Sberbank of Russia PJSC, Biocad JSC, InEnergy LLC, Arnika LLC, and Rusatom Healthcare JSC.

For example, in the laboratory of electrochemical devices and fuel cells of the Institute of High-Temperature Electrochemistry of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a unique installation for the utilization of flue gases to produce synthetic fuel was developed and successfully tested by order of Gazprom Transgaz Yekaterinburg LLC. A test bench for conducting resource tests of solid oxide fuel cell stacks was manufactured at the site of Korvet JSC.

The team of the Scientific Instrument Engineering Laboratory of the Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences carries out a large volume of work in the interests of both small innovative companies (LLC Matrix Wave, LLC NPK TAIR, LLC NPC MKA) and large enterprises in the aerospace industry (JSC Reshetnev).

Large-scale projects to develop the road network using innovative technologies are being implemented in Russia. This increases the transport accessibility of regions and road safety. Thus, musical markings have appeared on several sections of the M-12 "Vostok" highway. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Modernization of the country's road framework allows us to improve road safety, reduce accidents and thereby ensure the well-being of citizens. But in addition to updating the road surface itself, we equip roads with special road safety elements, using technological approaches. Specialists from the state-owned company Avtodor are implementing transverse noise stripes with a musical effect. The first musical marking in Russia – a fragment of the composition Kalinka-Malinka – was applied last year on the 653rd km of the M-11 Neva highway in the Leningrad Region. And on the M-12 Vostok, going from Moscow to Kazan and back, you can now drive along such markings three times in the Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod Regions. They were applied on the 144th and 413th km of the highway towards Kazan, as well as on the 260th km towards Moscow. If the result is positive, we will consider applying musical markings on other sections and highways,” said Marat Khusnullin.

Innovative markings, like noise markings, will prevent drivers from falling asleep at the wheel, encourage them to focus on the road, not exceed the established speed limit, and will contribute to increased traffic safety.

According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, musical markings will also help develop the tourist attractiveness of the regions of Russia.

"Roads give impetus to the development of regions, thanks to them opportunities for creating new tourist routes open up. People are happy to get acquainted with the unique culture of various places in our country. And it is important for us to create a modern service infrastructure for motorists. It should combine both quality and safety. This also applies to the arrangement of roads with safety equipment, including innovative ones. Thus, specialists from the Avtodor group of companies developed musical markings using domestic software. For the first time in Russia, we applied it last year on the 653rd km of the M-11 Neva highway in the Leningrad Region. Thanks to it, a decrease in accidents is predicted for this section by the end of the year, and we decided to apply it on the M-12 Vostok highway. I am sure that this will contribute to solving the task set by the President to reduce road fatalities by one and a half times by 2030," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov made a working visit to Krasnoyarsk Krai. The First Deputy Prime Minister, accompanied by the region's governor Mikhail Kotyukov and the general director of the Roscosmos state corporation Dmitry Bakanov, familiarized himself with the production capabilities of the company AO Reshetnev (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation).

The company's CEO Evgeny Nesterov reported to Denis Manturov on the creation and launch of the first domestic assembly line for spacecraft weighing up to 300 kg and their components at the company. The line uses robotic and automated control systems, such as smart tools, machine vision based on neural networks, and visualization of the process of performing production operations. Serial production will reduce the time it takes to create spacecraft, increase labor productivity, and quickly form multi-satellite orbital groups, providing consumers throughout Russia with high-quality satellite services.

"Roscosmos was tasked with establishing a conveyor production of satellites. Today, together with you, we have seen that this task has been accomplished. Work is already underway to form orders to load this line. I believe that our colleagues have generally coped with this. This will be a good help in accelerating the implementation of the national project "Space" and launching more satellites for various tasks, including remote sensing of the Earth," Denis Manturov noted.

He was shown the stages of production of communications and navigation satellites at different stages of production, the company's promising developments – a modular unified micro-class platform, new design solutions for the creation of GLONASS spacecraft, and the RS-30M satellite communications subscriber terminal.

"I am confident that the region can become a platform for implementing technological leadership projects in the interests of national development. We see particular potential in creating a national satellite construction center. This will be facilitated by the reserve accumulated at the enterprises of Krasnoyarsk and Zheleznogorsk, and the strong educational and scientific base of Reshetnev University and the laboratories of the scientific center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. On this basis, we are ready to form a center capable of solving a full cycle of tasks – from the development of the latest spacecraft to the implementation of advanced technologies within the framework of the national project. In this matter, we count on the support of the federal center – this is the most important thing," said Mikhail Kotyukov.

Denis Manturov visited the Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant, which produces rocket and space technology and equipment for the fuel and energy complex, and discussed with members of the delegation and the management of the enterprise issues of staffing the industry and the implementation of the state defense order.

In addition, the First Deputy Prime Minister visited the scientific and technological center of the Krasnoyarsk Non-Ferrous Metals Plant, one of the world's largest producers of precious metals. He noted the prospects and demand for the technology of extracting rare earth metals.

Another area implemented by Krasnosvetmet is a unique technology for extracting lithium. The First Deputy Prime Minister was shown the process of extracting the chemical element from hydromineral raw materials, such as salar brines, associated waters of oil fields and geothermal sources. This technology is two to three times more economical than traditional technology and allows extracting lithium even from raw materials with extremely low metal concentrations, from 5 mg/l.

The event was also attended by First Deputy Minister of Transport Valentin Ivanov, Head of Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov, General Director of Aeroflot Sergei Aleksandrovsky, Governor of Sakhalin Region Valery Limarenko, and Head of the Republic of Buryatia Alexey Tsydenov.

In his speech, the Deputy Prime Minister spoke in detail about the development of the main transport routes in the Far East.

An important megaproject for the development of connectivity and exploration of the Far East and Siberia is the construction of the Eastern Polygon of Railways. From 2013 to 2024, the carrying capacity of the Baikal-Amur and Trans-Siberian Railways increased from 98 million to 180 million tons. Preparations are underway for the construction of the second Severomuysky, Kodarsky and Kuznetsovsky tunnels, as well as a bridge across the Amur in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

By 2030, measures are planned to modernize the airfield infrastructure of 29 airports located in the Far Eastern Federal District. This year, preferential tariffs have been extended for residents of the Arctic zone under three subsidy programs. In 2025, it is planned to transport about 1.6 million passengers along routes within the Far Eastern Federal District.

There are 21 seaports operating in the Far Eastern Federal District. The volume of cargo transshipment in the seaports of the Far Eastern Federal District increased by 1.7% in the first half of 2025 and amounted to 119 million tons. As part of the national project "Efficient Transport System", activities are being implemented in the ports of Vostochny, Korsakov, and Anadyr. In 2024, facilities were commissioned in the ports of Vladivostok (the Sukhodol terminal), which gave a capacity increase of 7.5 million tons, and Vanino (two stages of the Port Elga terminal) – the capacity increase will be 12 million tons. In 2026, it is planned to commission a marine transshipment complex for liquefied natural gas in the Kamchatka Territory.

There are currently 59 checkpoints operating in the Far Eastern Federal District. Vehicle throughput in the first half of this year increased by 13% compared to the same period in 2024. Comprehensive modernization of 5 priority checkpoints has been completed. By 2030, it is planned to complete the modernization of another 26 checkpoints. This will increase throughput capacity in key sections of the state border by at least two times.

Vitaly Savelyev also touched upon the implementation of the national project "Unmanned Aircraft Systems" – in general and in the Far East. The Government Decree in Russia established airspace class H, which simplifies the use of UAS at an altitude of up to 150 m and within the established routes at an altitude of up to 3050 m. The Ministry of Transport of Russia has formed the necessary regulatory framework for expanding the scenarios for the use of UAS. The Pushisty airfield on Sakhalin was the first in the country to receive the status of the first official drone port. Also last year, Sakhalin hosted the educational intensive course "Archipelago". Sakhalin Oblast is one of the leading regions not only in the Far East, but also in the country. Successful local practices need to be scaled up in other regions.

The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that in 2023, Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin designated the development of the Far Eastern regions as an absolute priority for the entire 21st century. "The Government of the Russian Federation constantly supplements the extensive system of state support measures, implements complex and capital-intensive projects, improving the quality of life of citizens and the growth of business activity. The Far East of our country is the most important strategic region, for the sustainable development of which the accelerated development of the transport system is necessary. This work will be continued," Vitaly Savelyev noted.
