- I plan to steer the activities of the Young Scientists' Council to primarily focus on expertise sharing and communication between young scientists from different units of the Center. It is important to hold training workshops on preparing presentations, writing articles for scientific journals, initiating and submitting applications for grant support from the Russian Science Foundation, mastering useful services and tools that facilitate the work of a scientist, - said Svetlana Egorova.
The Young Scientists Council (YSC) of KarRC RAS is a collegial advisory body to KarRC RAS Director General. It was established to unite young scientists in search of the most effective forms of involving them in the development of basic and applied science, realization of the scientific potential, upskilling, as well as to help protect their rights, improve their work and living conditions and organize their leisure time.
KarRC RAS YSC Chairperson is a voting member of the KarRC RAS Learned Council.
