Nanotech Information Services Ltd, Institute of Nanotechnology of International Conversion Fund, and Youth Science Society announced start of Competition of Russian youth projects on domestic development of Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT).
Molecular Nanotechnology is widely recognized as technology mainstream of XXI century, which will lead us to ability of precise molecular manufacturing things atom-by-atom.
Future of Russia is not imaginable without high technologies, and without science, technology and business professionals. Molecular nanotechnology development will allow solution of many important national tasks. This direction of high–tech industry opens the way to intensive innovative progress, next technology level of other industries, increase of life quality.
This is the first youth competition on this topic in humankind history. Some expert told that nanotechnology is a last Russia's chance to enter the future as high-tech power. Great science and technology potential inherited from Soviet Union may be applied to new multiple fast breakthroughs toward critical technologies.
Officials of Institute of Nanotechnology (http://www.nanotech.ru) and Youth Science Society (http://www.mno.ru) mebmers understand extremely high role of young scientists, engineers, entrepeneurs in coming restoration and advancement of Russian nanotechnology leadership.
Nanotechnology Information Services, Moscow based nanotech information company, organized and sponsored this competition to systematize and coordinate national civilian nanotechnology efforts, award leaders and involve public into nanotechnology race.
Participants must submit complete projects on nanotechnology, biotechnology, advanced materials and economics of high-tech before June 6, 2004.
Results and awards will be announced on June 26, 2004. Authors of best projects will receive prizes and opportunities for practical implementation of their projects. Most interesting of other works will be published in the Net.
