Today, Tomsk Oblast is one of the top three regions in Russia's national rating of scientific and technological development of regions, while the city of Tomsk is called a student hub. Educational institutions of Belarus and Tomsk Oblast signed 25 cooperation agreements, and a number of joint research projects are underway.
“However, I believe that cooperation potential in education and science is much bigger. We must make good use of each other's advanced competencies. Your scientists, the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and businesses could launch a joint project to produce special-purpose transistors and transistors for the aerospace industry. This can be a good example of intellectual collaboration, and this collaboration is very relevant,” the president said.
