History

In the Belarusian lands science originated in VII-VIII centuries of our era. It is actively developed foundry, pottery, blacksmithing, weaving. Successful completion of the work depended on how well the master knew physics and chemistry.

With the spread of Christianity development centres of scientific thought were made by churches and monasteries. Here copied the books, were the Chronicles, arranged library. The most famous educators of the time – Euphrosyne of Polotsk and Kirill of Turov.

In the Renaissance science and education gradually became secular. An important role was played by the printing press. Became the first printer Francis Skaryna. Printed books were made and distributed faster than handwriting, therefore, was available to more readers.

In the modern time Belarusian scientists are actively working in the field of science and technology. In 1929, opened in Minsk, the Belarusian Institute of culture, later transformed into the Academy of Sciences.

In the 30 years many representatives of the Belarusian intelligentsia were victims of repression. During the war scientists worked in the evacuation. In the postwar years the scientific establishment has returned to the Republic and continued research.

Cast Iron parts will be much stronger thanks to the inventions of employees of the Institute of metal technology, and with optical fiber industrial endoscopes (development of the Belarusian-Russian University Mogilev) diagnosis of hard-to-reach places, units and machines will become more operational and reliable. In the treatment of atherosclerosis is planned to apply ultrasonic installation, created by specialists of the BNTU.

Also in the Republic are studying the DNA, grow emeralds create new varieties of agricultural plants, reviving cultural artifacts (Slutsk belts), master space, and develop new methods of treatment of diseases, training and education of the younger generation.

Problems and prospects of science development in Belarus

In recent years, the government increasingly funds applied research. The actual problem is the creation of organizations with scientific and production staff.
