Dear friends! I congratulate you on International Postgraduates' Day!

Today, we see how a new generation of scientists is formed. They plunge into the world of science with interest, enthusiastically adopt the experience and knowledge of their mentors, put forward their ideas, which, of course, inspire the staff and professors of the university.

The university needs such talented and ambitious young people who are boldly moving to new horizons and expanding the boundaries of what they have studied. We are interested in developing succession, so that young researchers can fulfil themselves at our university.

In the Decade of Science and Technology, the image of a scientist becomes even more attractive to young people. Postgraduate studies provide an opportunity not only to take the first steps in science, but also to start working on your own projects, become part of a research group, attend large-scale scientific events, and gain teaching experience.

On this day, I sincerely congratulate all postgraduates and express my gratitude for their contribution to the development of scientific thought. People who are passionate about science are daring dreamers who are sometimes able to accomplish the impossible, inspired by their ideas and inexhaustible curiosity. They always focused on creation.

Therefore, I wish you, dear postgraduates, to stay true to your inspiration, look for answers, improve your knowledge, and make the world a better place! I heartily congratulate you on the holiday and wish you new ideas, promising projects, and interesting scientific discoveries!
