Technological progress is one of the prerequisites for Russia’s continued economic development. Among the most important conditions for our country to be competitive are the development of new methods of producing and processing raw materials, rational use of natural resources, and improvement of technology in the areas of energy efficiency, environmental protection, and traditional and alternative energy production.

Today, your innovative work, full of new solutions and impressive discoveries, has won high recognition from the scientific community. I congratulate you on great professional victory and wish you success and all the very best.”
