The Ministry of Science and Higher Education, together with the All-Russian Society of Inventors and Innovators (VOIR), announced the launch of the 4th All-Russian "Inventor of the Year" competition. Applications will be accepted until September 30.

The competition is being held as part of the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia. Its main goal is to popularize the achievements of inventors and innovators who ensure the country's technological leadership. The project is being implemented at the initiative of Dmitry Chernyshenko, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of VOIR and Deputy Prime Minister.

"In the Decade of Science and Technology declared by President Vladimir Putin, special attention is being paid to engaging researchers and developers in solving key national development challenges. The 'Inventor of the Year' competition recognizes such talented, hardworking, and driven individuals. Over the past three years, it has received over 2,500 applications. The project's geography is constantly expanding: in the third season, representatives from 71 Russian regions, including our historical regions, participated. I invite scientists, engineers, students, and schoolchildren to participate in the competition and wish them success in finding worthy applications for their inventions!" emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Winners will be determined in four main categories: Grand Prix, Inventor of the Year, Innovator of the Year, and Mentor of the Year. The Inventor of the Year category includes nine categories, corresponding to the themes of national technological leadership projects.

"The All-Russian 'Inventor of the Year' competition is VOIR's flagship project, having become a vital tool for supporting and promoting the achievements of our innovators. Over the past three years, the competition has brought together a wide range of participants: from schoolchildren to leading engineers at major industrial enterprises. Today, VOIR serves as a bridge connecting a talented individual's bold idea with its practical implementation in production. Over 40% of the competition's participants are young people under 35: schoolchildren, students, graduate students, and young scientists from leading universities and research institutes. This systematic approach provides genuine support for inventive activity and the development of the intellectual property market in Russia," emphasized Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education, Deputy Chairman of VOIR's Board of Trustees, and Chairman of the competition's organizing committee.

"Thanks to consistent state policy in scientific and technological development, today we are creating all the conditions for talented inventors to transform their ideas into real projects and thereby contribute to achieving technological leadership—the national goal set by President Vladimir Putin. Our competition has become a platform that also opens up new opportunities for innovators. To ensure the project continues to improve and maximize the implementation of the most daring ideas, we have expanded its scope this season. Now, not only Russian citizens but also foreign scientists and engineers whose patents are valid in our country can participate in the competition. This will increase interest in the localization of foreign technologies and facilitate the rapid implementation of developments," noted Vladimir Kononov, Chairman of the VOIR Central Council and Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education.

Inventors and innovators of all ages are invited to participate in the competition: scientists, engineers, students and schoolchildren.

This year, an important innovation has been the expansion of the competition's participant pool: both Russian citizens and foreign citizens holding intellectual property protection documents valid within the Russian Federation are now eligible to participate.

Applications for the All-Russian "Inventor of the Year" competition are evaluated by experts from the Russian Academy of Sciences, National Research University "MPEI," and other leading engineering universities.

Based on the results, 61 winners and runners-up will be determined; the awards ceremony will take place in November in Moscow.

The main prize in the Grand Prix category is 1 million rubles. Winners in other categories will receive a prize of 200,000 rubles.

Detailed information about the competition, participation conditions, and nominations is available on the official website: inventor-goda.rf.

The restoration, renovation, and construction of educational institutions, including higher education facilities, is one of the tasks facing Russia's construction industry in its efforts to create and develop high-quality infrastructure in Donbas and Novorossiya. For example, in the capital of the DPR, the restoration of the historic building of the first campus of the Donetsk National University of Economics and Trade named after Mykhailo Tugan-Baranovsky (DonNUET) has been completed. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"DonNUET is one of the leading scientific and educational institutions in Donbas, training specialists for companies in trade, services, food and processing industries, financial institutions, and tax and customs services. In 2023, the university's main building was severely damaged by shelling. The building, with a total area of approximately 4,500 square meters, was restored to include classrooms, administrative offices, and a museum space for university staff and students," the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

Marat Khusnullin also added that a monument to Mikhail Ivanovich Tugan-Baranovsky, the founder of DonNUET and an economist and scientist, has been restored in the adjacent area. The work was carried out under the supervision of the "Single Customer in Construction" subcontracting company.

"In a very short time, the builders restored the building's structure, updated the roof, windows, and façade, and replaced the utility systems and technological equipment. The academic building has also been equipped with all the necessary technology and furniture for the educational process, and the auditorium has been updated with modern multimedia, lighting, and sound equipment," commented Karen Oganesyan, General Director of Unified Customer.

Moscow, February 3 (Xinhua) — FSB officers detained a foreign national in Moscow who, on orders from Ukrainian intelligence services, was preparing to detonate an explosion at an energy infrastructure facility in the Moscow region. This was reported on Tuesday by the FSB's Public Relations Center.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has detained a foreign citizen, born in 1996, in Moscow. He was involved in the preparation of a sabotage and terrorist act (STA) on the orders of a Ukrainian terrorist organization, banned in Russia, acting in the interests of the Ukrainian special services," the statement reads.

According to the information received, the suspect was recruited via the Telegram messenger by a member of a terrorist organization and, at his direction, arrived in Russia to commit sabotage using an improvised explosive device (IED) at one of the energy infrastructure facilities in the Moscow region, followed by travel to Ukraine to participate in combat operations against the Russian Armed Forces.

“A ready-to-use high-explosive IED with an explosive content of 5 kg was confiscated from the detainee, as well as a telephone containing his correspondence with his supervisor regarding preparations for the assassination,” the FSB Public Relations Center reported. –0–
