The Russian Foundation for Basic Research summarized the results of the competition for initiative projects of fundamental research. Nine projects of scientists of the Krasnoyarsk Science Center won the competition.

List of the winners:

Supervisor / Name of the project:

Nadezhda Chebakova Biogeography and ecology of seed productivity of forest-forming coniferous species of Siberia: prospects for predicted climate warming

Tamara Burenina Investigation of the features of the hydrological cycle in the river basins of the taiga zone of Central Siberia under increased anthropogenic pressure on forest ecosystems in a changing climate

Olesya Kormilets Biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids in tissues of freshwater fish of the Krasnoyarsk Region

Nadezhda Sushchik The value of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids exported from water to terrestrial ecosystem by emerging amphibiotic insects for consumers of steppe species

Evgeny Vysotsky Functional role of aminoacid residues in the catalytic oxidation of a substrate and formation of an emitter in coelenterazine-dependent photoproteins of various luminous organisms

Oksana Taran Fundamentals of the design of nanostructured solid catalysts for the conversion of levulinic acid to gamma-valerolactone and catalytic processes based on these catalysts

Natalya Kazak Study of spin, charge and magnetic states of cobalt ions in oxyborates using elemental selective techniques (XAS, XMCD)

Victor Andreev Three-dimensional convective flows with interfaces and a velocity field of the Himenz type

Vladimir Shaidurov Euler-Lagrangian (semi-Lagrangian) methods of finite differences and finite elements with special properties

RFBR initiative projects are one of the most effective science support mechanisms in Russia. As part of this competition, small scientific teams receive funds for scientific research in promising areas of fundamental research. Such grant support allows Russian scientists to carry out research in a wide range of problems, providing the country's competitive advantage in various fields of science.

Congratulations to the project supervisors and their colleagues, and we wish them outstanding scientific results!
