MILSET Newsletter - October/November 2012


Alexander Leontovitch Russia's Motto: Not Only to Show What Has Been Done before but to Create New Things Together

Of course an EXPO Science is the result and outcome of youth's creative work in science and technology, but a present-day expo is something more.
In the modern world of fast communication any result is a collective result. It is achieved through joint work in close contact, meeting both personally and on the Internet. Expos begin long before their participants gather together, as the participants cooperate while preparing their projects, elaborate general standards and requirements, which the projects have to meet. They also work together in international science camps, on expeditions, at congresses and contests. Today we can more and more often see the results of participants' joint work presented at the expos.
What brings success to an exhibition is a network of joint activities, the results and achievements of which the exhibition sums up. And the members of MILSET have managed to create such a network. Apart from the expos themselves it also includes the European Science Day for Youth, the Science Photo Contest, youth congresses, science camps, expeditions, and more. We believe that the future development of MILSET should be related to the further development of the interconnection and continuity of these events and activities. The expo of the XXI century is an expo that goes on all the year and includes a lot of different activities and events.
In Russia we have been implementing this idea for several years now, and numerous organizations from other countries have joined us.
Meanwhile we manage to find successful solutions to the following issues:
  • Finding sponsors and funds;
  • Better career prospects for talented youth;
  • Improving mutual understanding between specialists in different spheres: education, science, business. They understand that they have common goals and can achieve them only through work with young people;
  • International business prospects for youth;
  • Practicing teamwork skills in international teams - models of the future international organizations.

Apart from participating in the MILSET international events, we in Russia carry out a range of events and activities, included into the MILSET program:
  • Developing and expanding the network of schools and youth creativity centers, which take part in the projects ( the participants are students from 500 schools all over the country and international participants from all the continents) - thus building a solid foundation for the continuous and successful project activity;
  • Holding a range of diversified congresses and contests (the largest event is Vernadsky National Contest of Student Research Projects) - thus selecting and promoting the best projects;
  • Holding scientific camps and other events in cooperation with universities and scientific centers (the International Research School, the ESE exhibitions) - thus bringing the future career prospects;
  • Organizing youth expeditions (the Joint Russian-Mexican Expedition) - thus immersing the participants into joint work on scientific projects;
  • Developing the network for international student exchange (the prospect is the development of the Science Youth Vector program) - thus establishing firm personal contacts, which ensures the effective international communication in the future.

We are convinced that the implementation of these will be Russia's contribution to the future development of MILSET.
