The rector emphasized that BHOS is proud of the fact that scientific conferences connected with the name of the Great Leader have been held within its walls for 12 years. 

“17 theses were presented at the first conference held at BHOS 12 years ago. It is very gratifying that the number of theses already exceeds 350. Some of the students who participated in this conference are now doctoral students, lecturers, young scientists and specialists who are working in prestigious companies. We believe that the young people awarded this time will grow into scientists and specialists. Our main goal is to create interest in science among young people and motivate them. We must create conditions for young people to help them reach their potential in this area. Such conferences serve as a unique platform for sharing knowledge and experience with students, drawing attention to the social significance of scientific activity”.
