For example, participants will discuss the development of the theory of mathematical modeling and its application in education and production processes, and share opinions on the fundamental principles of creating nanomaterials. Young scientists will be presented with issues of rational use of the resource potential of Belarusian Poozerye and environmental protection, problems of forming the legal culture of youth, as well as the development of scientific and methodological support for the professional training of social sphere specialists in universities. Interesting discussions are expected during the work of the sections on the design and modeling of the subject-spatial environment through design and decorative arts, as well as on the problems of the spiritual culture of society. The organizers hope that the works submitted to the conference will form the basis for promising innovative projects that will find practical application.
