The International Assembly of Young Inventors was held in Veliky Novgorod on 10 and 11 November. Representatives from Russia, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan took part in the event.
Kazakhstan was represented by Erkin Krykbayev, PhD in Veterinary Medicine and Senior Researcher at Antigen Research and Production Enterprise LLP, and Uldana Shalabayeva, Head of the Patent Research and Coordination Department at the Technology and Innovation Support Center of the National Institute of Intellectual Property.
At the Assembly, young scientists and specialists presented patented inventions in chemistry, medicine, electronics, agriculture, construction and other fields. These included solutions to protect crops from disease, medical devices, technologies for producing clean water and new construction materials.
Participants also focused on the legal protection of intellectual property. Reliable patent protection helps secure authors’ rights to the results of scientific and inventive work and creates conditions for further development and commercialization of inventions.
The participation of Kazakhstan’s representatives provided an opportunity to learn about new scientific and technological solutions and exchange experience with colleagues from other countries. International cooperation in the field of invention supports innovation and strengthens ties between the scientific community and intellectual property institutions.
The Assembly was held at the Valdai Innovative Science and Technology Center of Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University. The organizers included the Eurasian Patent Office, Rospatent, the Federal Institute of Industrial Property, the Government of the Novgorod Region, Novgorod State University and other organizations.
