NAS of Belarus and world -class REC "Engineering of the Future"

The Russian-Belarusian locomotive is gaining momentum! At the meetings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the world-class REC "Engineering of the Future", topical issues and important decisions on the formation and filling of the Russian-Belarusian technology transfer center were discussed.

In 2021, the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the world-class REC "Engineering of the Future" signed a cooperation agreement. In the summer of 2022, during the visit of the Governor of the Samara Region Dmitry Azarov to the Republic of Belarus, a roadmap of scientific and technical cooperation between the parties was signed. One of its points is devoted to the development of cooperation infrastructure — the creation of a Russian-Belarusian technology transfer center. On February 21, 2023, a working meeting was held to discuss specific measures to implement this point of the roadmap.

Olga Mikheeva, Advisor to the Governor of the Samara region, General Director of the world—class REC "Engineering of the Future" - Institute of Regional Development, made a welcoming speech at the workshop, starting the meeting:

"Now the world-class REC "Engineering of the Future" is working on projects from 18 committees and in each we are doing a great job. In turn, we see painstaking work on the part of Belarus within the framework of the development of science and education of the republic.
