Among the most important goals is the achievement of technological sovereignty, that is, the independence of scientific and technological developments for the economy of both countries from foreign resources. State Secretary of the Union State Dmitry Mezentsev spoke about it. “And the fact is not that pressure from the West seems to be boosting this cooperation. The Treaty of Union is over 20 years old, the Heads of State’s decision to adopt 28 Allied Cooperation Programs from November 2021 is occurred before this frenzy of sanctions”. pressure,” he recalls.Scientific and technological cooperation will form the basis of joint actions between Russia and Belarus. The range of areas of the economy where the results of cooperation will be used is very wide. This includes pharmaceuticals, space, high technology, the agricultural sector and the humanities – dozens of fields.
The agreements reached by the two countries will provide work for scientists. And they will help shape the new agenda of the State of the Union. “Our task is to formulate topics that will later become the basis of Union State projects and program tasks,” says Sergei Shcherbakov, academician-secretary of the Department of Physical and Technical Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Belarus.According to him, scientific and technical developments will become the basis for the production of new goods. Particularly interesting are the works carried out at the intersection of biology, physics and chemistry.
There are concrete examples of the practical application of scientific developments. The Physico-Technical Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus develops the technology of ion-plasma nitriding, conducts developments in electric transport and studies biotechnological structures. For example, the technology of ion plasma nitriding makes it possible to apply a coating to the surface of metal products, which makes the parts stronger and more resistant to wear. The development is already fed into the production. The plant using this technology was created in Russia. Infographic “RG” / Leonid Kuleshov / Evgeny Gaiva
There are other developments in the field of unmanned vehicles, machine vision technologies. The task is to support basic research and at the same time to have a practical solution, Shcherbakov noted.
Joint high-tech developments are introduced in medicine. The Allied “Spinal Systems” program was successfully completed. Specific methods and tools have been created to help children with birth defects and spinal injuries. But we must go further. Specialists of the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics in Belarus, together with Russian colleagues from the GI Turner prepared the program “Spinal Systems 2”, which will build on the results of the first program and allow further development research and development. “The ties between our states are strengthened directly through interested scientific organizations that see the practical need of our patients to improve approaches to the treatment of pathology and are actively trying to help them,” says Viktor Anosov, Deputy Director of scientific work of the Belarusian Center.Promising research areas will be included in the State of the Union program, developed for real sectors of the economyBelarusians who came to the festive concert agree with the opinion of politicians, scientists, business leaders.”Now, when we are at a turning point, it is particularly important to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the field of technology and science. Belarus has retained its agricultural, industrial and construction potential, which creates a demand for science and education. Here are the best contact points,” says engineer Alex.
We are proud to have, with Russia, a common vision of what is happening, adds teacher Tatiana. “If you look at it, we have a lot in common. I heard that we are preparing space flights together. Our agriculture is developed, Russia can learn something from Belarus. And Russia has developed technologies, so we we can work very well together,” he says. She adds, “And we are also united by the desire for peace.
