«BRICS
Partnership of Young Scientists and Innovators for Science Progress and
Innovative growth» will be the main theme of the BRICS Young Scientist
Forum that will take place via videoconference on September 21-25.
This year the forum’s programme will consist of three parallel sessions on
thematic subjects: ecology, materials science and artificial intelligence.
Over 120 participants will hold discussions on the interactive web platform
for five days. Each of the five BRICS countries will have more than 20
outstanding young scientists and innovators between 20 and 40 years old invited
to take part in the forum.
The forum will host the annual BRICS
Young Innovator Prize competition
with awards for the top three winners. The competition is designed to identify and encourage the best
research and innovation projects in three areas: ecology, materials science and
the use of artificial intelligence that can help find solutions to today’s social,
economic and environmental problems of the five member states.
The participants will communicate using the interactive web platform
developed by the Ministry of Education and Science in cooperation with South
Ural State University and the Chelyabinsk Region government.
To actively involve the participants in the forum’s scientific atmosphere,
the organisers will hold plenary sessions, workshops, and real time scientific
experiments in the university’s labs. The scientific and entertainment
programme will include intellectual quizzes and Stand-Up Science competitions
whereby young scientists from the BRICS countries will show video clips
explaining complicated science in simple terms. This competition is aimed at
popularizing science.
Anyone who is interested can join the lectures and discussions via YouTube. For detailed information go the forum’s website: (https://brics-ysf2020.ru/).
