Plenary Session of the XIII KAFU Young Scientists Forum
Mankind is always looking for new opportunities for its development, and in this context, higher education is one of the highest priority areas, since its important task is to train specialists who have not only professional skills, but also research abilities that allow them to effectively apply theoretical knowledge to practice. In this regard, higher education institutions are focusing on the development of research work and the creation of an innovative research environment within universities.
It is science that ensures the dynamic and progressive development of the entire socio-economic system of society, and the creation of the chain “education – science – innovation – production” creates the prerequisites for the formation of an appropriate research facility for this development.
