MINSK, 3 March (BelTA) - There is no development without science, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he appointed new deputy chairmen of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, BelTA has learned.
“I will not speak about science. Much has already been said. There is no development without science. As for our science, I won’t say that we are stagnating from a scientific point of view. But what science has given us so far, especially for applied fields, is extremely insufficient. You know this very well,” the head of state said. “We need to shake up the Academy of Sciences. I have also spoken about this. For this purpose, a relatively young, active person who understands what is required of him has been sent there [Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences Vladimir Karanik].”
“But one man is not an army. He was tasked with finding people like you - young, yet experienced, whom he can rely on. Together and forward!” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
As BelTA has reported, Vitaly Zalessky has been appointed First Deputy Chairman of the NASB Presidium. Until now, he served as Director of the Physical and Technical Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
Aleksei Trukhanov has been appointed Deputy Chairman of the NASB Presidium. Previously, he held the position of academic secretary of the Department of Chemistry and Earth Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
