As the Head of State noted at the ceremony, “The main characteristic of our time is the unprecedented number of innovations. Everything is changing: paradigms, technologies, development themes—left and right, forward and backward—have accelerated. And we ourselves, people, are changing too. The ideological and geopolitical landscapes are rapidly transforming. A new stage of the so-called digital revolution is gathering speed before our very eyes.”
The President noted that even in such a rapidly changing world, there are certain absolutes. “For us, this is love and affection for our land, for our family and friends. It seems like a philosophy, a kind of morality. But it also underlies all scientific research, the soul of a scientist. It provides support, the right guidelines, and imbues everything we do with meaning,” he emphasized.
