March 15, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA/. Schoolchildren from Vitebsk and Chashniki have become scholarship holders of the Foundation for the Support of Education and Science, founded by Nobel laureate Zhores Alferov, the director of Vitebsk Gymnasium No. 1 Valentina Shirokova told a BELTA correspondent. The foundation's goal is to support fundamental research in physics, which is vital for economic development. The material basis of the foundation is part of the Nobel Prize that Zhores Alferov received in 2000. Winners of international conferences, prize-winners of republican subject Olympiads in physics and chemistry, Vitebsk residents Anton Putov, Lyubov Yudassina, and a young resident of Chashniki Nikita Dubko received an invitation from the renowned physicist to participate not only in the award ceremony for the foundation's scholarship holders on March 18 but also in the scientific symposium on "Heterostructures: Fundamental Research and Innovative Prospects," which will be held in St. Petersburg on March 16-17. As Valentina Shirokova noted, the awarding of scholarships from the Alferov Foundation to Belarusian schoolchildren is a high assessment for both the students themselves and their teachers. During his visit to Vitebsk, Zhores Alferov visited Gymnasium No. 1 and called it "a model in the organization of the educational process." Zhores Alferov, a renowned physicist and public figure, Nobel laureate, Lenin Prize winner, Global Energy Prize winner, and holder of many high awards, a native and honorary citizen of Vitebsk, turned 80 on March 15. He is the author of fundamental works in the field of semiconductor physics, semiconductor and quantum electronics, and technical physics. His scientific developments have found wide application and are used in mobile phones, fiber-optic communication, CD players, and computer drives.-0-
