Russian Science Foundation announced the winners of the 2019 competition for grants “Initiative Research by Young Scientists” and “Conducting Research by Scientific Groups under the leadership of Young Scientists” of the Presidential Program of Research Projects. Six projects of young scientists of KSC SB RAS have got the Foundation support.

The program of presidential grants for young scientists was developed by the Science Foundation in 2017 by order of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin; its main tasks are to support long-term projects of leading scientists and create career trajectories for promising young researchers. According to the results of two competitions, the Foundation have decided to support 494 initiative projects of young scientists with 1.5–2 million roubles annually and 340 young research groups with 3-5 million roubles.
The winning projects are associated primarily with physics, chemistry and engineering. Among the priorities of the Strategy for the Scientific and Technological Development of Russia, digital technologies, personalized medicine and resource-saving energy had the leading position.

Congratulations to the young scientists of KSC SB RAS with a victory in the competitions!
