On November 26, 2019 at the site of the Project Office for Arctic Development (PORA), a meeting of a discussion club was held on the topic of “Implementation of the latest achievements of chemical science and industry for the innovative development of the Arctic”. The Specialist of the Northern Forum, Ekaterina Timofeeva took part in the meeting with the report “Development of frost-resistant elastomeric materials in NEFU". The meeting was moderated by PORA expert on PPP Alexander Vorotnikov.
The objectives of state policy in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in the field of the development of science and technology are the development and implementation of materials and equipment adapted for operation in the Arctic conditions, as well as strategically important technologies, including those contributing to solving the problems of defense and ensuring public safety. In addition, it is necessary to develop basic and applied research, including in such fields as energy, Arctic medicine, Arctic biology and biotechnology, Arctic ecology, renewable and portable energy sources. Finding solutions to many of these problems is impossible without the accelerated development of chemical science and the chemical industry.
During the discussion club meeting, the participants discussed the following issues:
- The relevance of using the achievements in chemical science in the implementation of the Development Strategy of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation until 2035;
- Promising areas of using modern chemistry for the development of the Russian Arctic;
- Problems and obstacles in the use of modern chemical developments for the development of the Russian Arctic.
