On September 2, the Science Festival will be held in Minsk – the largest popular science event in Belarus. It will be attended by leading Russian, Belarusian and international scientific and educational centers, as well as technology companies. The Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences will be the venue of the event.
The Russian side will be represented by the SCIENCE 0+ project, which will present an extensive program prepared by leading Russian universities (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Mendeleev Moscow State Technical University and others), major technology companies (Roscosmos, Rosatom and others), in traditional thematic areas: “Space”, “Medicine and Health”, “Robotics”, “Ecology”, “Geology”, “Archeology”, “Chemistry”.
At the festival, the Russian delegation will present innovative developments and achievements in various fields of science: from archaeological finds to the latest developments in robotics. The project is organized on the basis of The All–Russian SCIENCE 0+ Festival is one of the key events of the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia. The festival is organized by The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia and Lomonosov Moscow State University with the support of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The All–Russian SCIENCE 0+ Festival is one of the largest educational projects in the field of popularization of science in the world. Every year, more than 400 sites are involved in its implementation on the territory of more than 80 regions of our country and neighboring countries. In the international format, the project is organized in accordance with the Order (No. 683, paragraph 4 a) President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin on April 6, 2023.
Within the framework of the Cosmos platform, Roscosmos Corporation will take a direct part in organizing the event. A briefing with the Hero of the Russian Federation, pilot-cosmonaut of the Russian Federation Oleg Novitsky will be organized at the festival. A large-scale exposition dedicated to space exploration will also be presented at this thematic site, where guests will be able to see the Russian Orlan-ISS spacesuit, get acquainted with the exhibition of astrophotographs taken on a 40-centimeter reflector in a Small Observatory Moscow Planetarium, and to build and launch a rocket with an engine and a parachute at a master class from TsAGI named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky.
An interactive zone from the RNIMU named after N.I. Pirogov will be presented at the site “Medicine and Health” The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, which will host stands with elements of training and psycho-education, “Pirogov sections” on limb materials, thanks to which it is possible to examine in detail the structure of bone tissue in the section. In addition, the site will host master classes on hand hygiene and swaddling of newborns, a game about the diseases of cartoon characters and a quiz on medical specialties.
Within the framework of the Robotics platform The Lomonosov Moscow State University Graduate School of Management and Innovation will demonstrate modern additive technologies (3D printing) and their application in production and everyday life. This thematic platform is fully revealed through interactive expositions. Festival visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the world of high technology by trying on virtual reality glasses. Also, those who wish will be able to control a four-wheeled research robot from the Lomonosov Moscow State University Mechanics Research Institute, passing an obstacle course simulating the surface of the Moon. RTU MIREA will present an autonomous robot dog with a voice control module developed in Russia, a new multi-user service for working with topographic maps created using augmented reality (AR) technologies and medical implants printed on a 3D printer.
Careful attitude to nature and the environment is of great importance for the future of mankind. Therefore, the Ecology platform will be organized at the event, where everyone will find out whether the planet can avoid an ecological catastrophe at the current level of oil and gas use, what a barrel is and how much oil is placed in it, what color is “black gold”. This and much more related to oil and gas will be presented at its stand by Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NIU).
The Carboniferous period of the Earth’s history is one of the most important and amazing stages in the evolution of higher plants. Within the framework of the thematic platform “Geology” at the interactive exhibition from the Faculty of Geology of Lomonosov Moscow State University, everyone will be able to go to explore the extinct flora of the Carboniferous period, armed with modern microscopes.
Visitors of the festival will be able to make an exciting journey into the world of history and culture at the intersection of science and technology, implemented through an interactive exhibition, within the framework of the thematic module “Archeology”. Everyone is given the opportunity to get acquainted with the objects of historical heritage, as well as modern ways of studying these cultural achievements of Russia. Participants will be able to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the described symbols and their role in the development of writing with the help of special equipment together with teachers Novgorod University named after Yaroslav the Wise.
On the thematic site “Chemistry”, demonstrations of qualitative reactions to the active substances of medicines, experiments with frequently occurring medicines and determination of the quality and quantity of the active substance from D.I. Mendeleev Russian University of Chemical Technology. The audience will be explained the ongoing processes at the level of chemical interaction. A Chemical molecular bar from the All-Russian SCIENCE 0+ Festival will be opened within the framework of the site. This is a field laboratory in which bartenders mix and process familiar ingredients in a special way, and as a result they get completely unexpected tastes and shapes.
On the stage, the SCIENCE 0+ project will present a large-scale Scientific show. This is an exciting, bright and fascinating program, which demonstrates spectacular, spectacular chemical experiments and scientific experiments. The presenter will explain the scientific component simply and clearly, and also invite the audience to take part in the experiments themselves.
TsAGI named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky will demonstrate on stage electrophysical and magnetoplasmic phenomena, electromagnetic methods for controlling the movement of liquid, gas and plasma, methods for creating levitation and acceleration of bodies by electromagnetic methods, the basics of magnetoplasmic dynamics, the formation of lightning and electrification of bodies in inhomogeneous media.
In addition, the TV channel “Science” will place a photo exhibition of the winners of the contest “Shoot science”.
We are waiting for viewers of all ages on September 2 at the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in Minsk. More information about the event and the participation of the SCIENCE 0+ project in it can be found on the official website.
