Virtual school for biotechnologists of the XXI century
The International Scientific School "Main directions of Industrial and Food Biotechnology of the XXI century: analysis and forecasts" is supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Agency for the Future of the Land of Brandenburg (ZAB), the Federal Ministry of Scientific Research and Education of Germany, the Non-profit Partnership Analytical Center for International Scientific, Technological and Educational Programs (MNRIOP), the Institute of Biochemistry. A.N. Baha RAS (INBI RAS), Non-governmental educational institution of higher professional education Moscow Technological Institute "VTU", scientific social network AllScience.
The school's work is focused on improving the level of training of scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel, attracting young specialists to participate in promising scientific research in the field of industrial and food biotechnology, increasing the level of innovative education, integrating young specialists into international research programs in the field of industrial and food biotechnology.
Within the framework of the School, special attention will be paid to the current state and promising areas of industrial biotechnology development, the bioeconomics concept underlying the restructuring of scientific and industrial complexes in the EU countries will be explained, the prospects for the development of biofuels in the two countries and the positions of key regions will be considered, the use of industrial biotechnologies in grain and waste processing, the development of specialized enzymes will be discussed for industrial applications, etc.
Young specialists, postgraduates of specialized specialties, young candidates of sciences, as well as everyone are invited to participate in the School.
The School program includes presentations by leading Russian and German scientists, researchers known in the field of industrial and food biotechnology: Prof. Christian Pattermann, Advisor to the German Government on Biotechnology; Prof. Manfred Kircher, Chairman of the Council of the Industrial Biotechnology Cluster; Prof. Vladimir Popov, Director of the A.N. Bach Institute of Biochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences; Prof. Mark Struhalla, Executive Director of
The development of industrial biotechnology is one of the most important global priorities. First of all, because it is able to ensure the sustainable economic development of the country by using renewable sources of biomass and reducing the harmful impact on the environment.
Industrial biotechnology is a basic technology that is the basis of the economy and underlies a variety of practical applications, covering: chemical industry (bioreagents, building blocks and intermediates, monomers for polymer chemistry, solvents); energy (biofuels); food industry (enzymes, food components, functional nutrition, etc.); pharmaceuticals (raw materials for the production of substances); timber processing; agriculture (feed additives, protein, amino acids, plant and animal protection products, etc.). Industrial biotechnology is a new and dynamic field that is entering the "growth" stage. It plays an increasingly important role in the chemical industry. It is assumed that by 2030, up to
During the School, young specialists will get acquainted with priority areas of development, new horizons and challenges facing researchers, learn about leading research centers, the work of research groups and industrial companies and corporations in In Russia and Germany, they will get an idea of the possible links of their research interests with current and planned international projects.
In order to ensure equal opportunities for young specialists to participate in the school, regardless of the distance of regions, distances and time difference between the territories of Russia and Germany, the School for Young people is conducted using modern multimedia systems with multi-sided feedback online. The organizers of the school will provide you with the opportunity to connect from your workplace (or home computer) to a system that broadcasts the lectures and provides multi-sided feedback to listeners in several hundred communication points.
Upon graduation, the participants of the School will be awarded diplomas and certificates of participation in the international scientific school "Main directions of industrial and food biotechnology of the 21st century: analysis and forecasts", with a list of topics of lectures and seminars.
The International Russian-German Scientific School for Young People will be held from October 11 to November 11, 2010. To participate in the work of the School , you need:
- Computer and Internet access (desired speed of at least 256Kb/s);
- English language proficiency;
- Confirmation of participation (registration in the system AllScience.ru ), after which you will be sent information about access to lectures, the opportunity to participate in seminars, discuss the topic with colleagues and/or ask questions to lecturers.
The participants – young specialists – will also be able to discuss among themselves the topics of their research and the possibilities of organizing joint international European projects.
