15 youth projects will represent the Vitebsk region in the final of the innovative project '100 Ideas for Belarus'

– This year, Vitebsk region is represented in 9 out of 10 nominations, – noted Vladimir Babichev, First Secretary of the Regional Committee of BRSM. – Each project submitted to the final is unique and has a chance to be noticed by the expert council members. Our guys are aiming for a serious result. I am confident that the final of the юбилейный 10th season of the "100 Ideas for Belarus" project will be spectacular and unforgettable. By the way, winners of previous seasons are also invited to the event. I wish the participants victory! Let's root for our team!

Young scientists from the northern region will present developments of various orientations to the jury. For example, the "PharmHelp" project by Vladimir Mironov, a student of the Faculty of Pharmacy, and Roman Kravchenko, an assistant of the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at VGMU. The development is a web service that provides automated pharmaceutical assistance (e.g., selection of over-the-counter drugs without a pharmacist's involvement) and also displays essential information for a drug if it is mentioned near the device.

Andrey Piskunovich, a student of the Glubokoye State Vocational Lyceum, proposes the project "Blueberry – a berry that prolongs life." The project is aimed at creating the "GolubICom" farm for growing and selling blueberries, as well as using the created enterprise as an agritourism site.

Nikolay Shavko and Ekaterina Fedkovich, students of the Prozorki Kindergarten-Secondary School of the Glubokoye District, have created a relevant pedagogical development "Batleyka – Belarusian Folk Puppet Theatre: Innovations Based on the Revival of Traditions. Contact Theatre with Elements of Emotional Therapy." The project is aimed at adapting children with disabilities (particularly those with visual and hearing impairments) for child development and their integration into society.

The ideas of innovators will be evaluated, by the way, by a republican expert council, which includes representatives of executive and legislative authorities, heads of state and private enterprises and organizations, and investors.

The "100 Ideas for Belarus" project is a basic startup for the development of a national movement of young scientists, inventors, and innovators. This is an excellent opportunity to make yourself known throughout the country, to receive assistance in the development and support of an author's project. The project is aimed at identifying and implementing innovative projects and scientific and technical developments in the real sector of the economy that are of practical interest for the socio-economic development of the country.

The organizers are the BRSM and the State Committee on Science and Technology with the support of the Ministry of Education.
