Students of Mari State University - participants of the forum "Science of the Future - Youth Science 2021

The main venue for full-time participation was the National Research Technical University "MISIS", where the IV International Conference "Science of the Future" and the final of the All-Russian competition of research papers in 10 areas were held: "Agro-, bio- and food technologies", "Humanities", "Information technologies and mathematics", "Life sciences and medicine", "Earth sciences, ecology and environmental management", "New materials and construction methods", "Social sciences", "Transport systems, engineering and energy", "Physics and astronomy", "Chemistry and chemical technologies". More than 6000 applications from 20 Russian cities and countries have been submitted to the competition. The most active participants of the competition showed themselves in writing research papers in the social sciences, humanities, information technology and mathematics.

With competition of 100 people per place 321 finalists made it to the final, 60 participants became winners.

From Mari State University 50 applications were submitted to the R&D competition, but only 2 passed the competitive selection and made it to the final. At the final stage of the competition their posters and reports to the jury presented Bazhanov Andrey - a 1-year master student of 44.04.01 Pedagogical education (Education in the field of physical education, FPCS&T) and Ryabokonenko Irina - (a 2-year master student of 35.04.04 Agronomy, ATI). The guys adequately presented their research work in the sections. Bazhanov Andrey made a report on "Methods of development of coordination abilities of middle school children by means of modern swordsmanship" in the section "Life Sciences and Medicine. Irina Ryabokonenko with the report "Influence of growth stimulators on the yield and quality of potato tubers in the Republic of Mari El" took part in the section "Agro-, bio- and food technology", for which she was awarded a diploma for the best report.

Scientists from 16 countries of the world, representatives of 4 mathematical centers and 5 scientific centers of the world level gathered at the forum. More than 600 people attended the event in person and more than 150,000 people visited the forum events online. More than 400 reports were presented at the forum.

This year, forum participants met prominent scientists who have made major contributions to the development and popularization of science, including:

During the days of the Forum the doors of the best laboratories of NUST MISIS were opened for the participants; a tour of evening Moscow (Red Square, Christ the Savior Cathedral, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Vorobyovy Gory, Novy Arbat, Moscow City) was organized. The world-class scientific center "Supersonic" held an intellectual quest "On Takeoff: Conquer Your Altitude". The Days of Russian-German, Russian-French and Russian-Greek Science took a special place among the events.

We are glad that our students take part in such large-scale events! We wish you further scientific success and discoveries. Strive for the new and unexplored, develop and become better!
