First-year students in the Computer Design Department of the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics learned about the work of the Unite Institute for Informatics and Radioelectronics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

The students have just begun their professional training, but many are already thinking about their future and may well find their calling at the Joint Institute for Informatics and Radioelectronics. Here, they will have the unique opportunity to learn from renowned scientists and be inspired by the example of professionals who have dedicated their lives to the development of science and information technology.

Andrey Govin, Deputy Director General for Research and Innovation, gave a tour of the scientific institution's history, its current developments, and promising areas for future work.

Nadezhda Borodich, Head of the Department of International Cooperation and Exhibition Activities, gave the first-year students a tour of the Joint Institute for Informatics and Radioelectronics Museum of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

Students majoring in Electronic Systems and Technologies were able to experience real-life working conditions in the scientific sector, visit laboratories, and see the technologies being implemented in action. Future specialists in Electronic Engineering were introduced to modern hardware and software systems and research projects implemented at the institute. This allowed them to better understand real-world working conditions and in-demand technologies.

Particular attention was paid to a visit to the supercomputer center—a unique facility that provides high-performance computing for scientific research. Alexander Rymarchuk, the project's chief designer, shared details about the development of these technologies with the students.

The students also visited the Geoinformation Systems research enterprise of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, where they learned about the operation of Belarusian satellites and the system for processing and using Earth remote sensing data. And, of course, the traditional commemorative photo was taken next to a 9-meter satellite dish.

The student groups initially arrived as apprentices and left as future professionals, inspired by the examples of their masters.
