The 2nd International Baikal Technology Forum opened in the Republic of Buryatia at the East Siberian State University of Technology and Management. The program of this large-scale event spans three days, from July 6 to 9. The forum brought together participants from 10 countries, from India and China to Egypt and Zambia. The active participation of the United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, a partner of the forum, was a significant highlight. The program committee included leading scientists from the institute:

  • Head of the Laboratory of Self-Organizing Systems Modeling, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, Professor Alexander Krot;
  • Head of the Laboratory of Mathematical Cybernetics, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, and Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Alexander Tuzikov;
  • Chief Researcher of the Laboratory of Mathematical Cybernetics, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, and Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Mikhail Kovalev. 
he 2026 IBT Forum opened with a plenary session that set the tone for the entire event. Sergey  Kasanin, Deputy Director General for Research at the United Institute for Informatics and Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, PhD in Engineering, and Associate Professor, delivered a report on "Artificial Intelligence Development Trends in the Republic of Belarus." In his address, he highlighted national achievements in machine learning, neural network architectures, and the implementation of intelligent systems in the real economy, and noted the country's contribution to the development of AI legislation within the CIS.

The forum included a thematic platform, " Innovative IT Point" for discussions of the most breakthrough technologies of our time. This unified space brings together theory and practice, science and business, to address the main challenges of the artificial intelligence era. One of the key events of the program was the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Applied Artificial Intelligence." The United Institute for Informatics and Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is co-organizing the conference. Sergey Nikolaevich Kasanin served as the conference chair. The conference was opened by Andrei Bondolovsky, Head of the Speech Recognition and Synthesis Laboratory at the Joint Institute of Informatics Problems (UIIP) of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. His presentation focused on one of the most pressing topics in the modern IT industry: "Multimodal Generative Technologies. Adaptation to Languages ​​with Limited Resources." The expert discussed developments that enable training large language models while preserving linguistic diversity in the digital age.

The participation of the United Institute of Informatics Problems (UIIP) in such a large-scale international event underscores the high level of the national school of applied informatics and strengthens scientific ties between research centers across Eurasia. The work of the Belarusian delegation on the shores of Lake Baikal demonstrates that the developments of Belarusian scientists are in demand globally and make a significant contribution to shaping the international AI development agenda.
