Dear colleagues, partners, representatives of the academic community, I congratulate all of you on the Day of Russian Science, which we rightfully consider our professional holiday at Southern Federal University!

Today we are acutely aware that Russia's technological sovereignty is impossible without the creation of critical technologies, the development of science and innovation. The future fate of our Motherland, its scientific potential, economic growth, and the well-being of our citizens will largely depend on how we prepare highly qualified personnel for the introduction and development of such technologies and educate the intellectual elite of the country.

The Day of Russian Science is a great occasion to express gratitude to everyone who devotes his life to scientific research, applying all his talents, knowledge and skills for this.

It is on this day that we remember the great scientists who have made a huge contribution to world science, as well as those who are just starting their research career, taking the first steps into the scientific world, discovering new vast horizons of the unknown.

I heartily congratulate all those who have devoted themselves to scientific research, working tirelessly for the benefit of the future! New discoveries and achievements! Happy holidays! Happy Russian Science Day!
