It is young and talented people, many of whom are our students, and whose education and discovery is our task, who are able to do a lot in science and in their professional activities. Therefore, the implementation of research work by students with the presentation of their own results at conferences, seminars, concourses are an important step in the development of their future professional skills, and the incentive and their interest in participating in competitions begins with the first steps in the student scientific society.

So, today students of the SNT circle of the Department of Biotechnology are involved in:

in competitions of student research papers – All-Ukrainian competition of student research papers in natural, technical and human sciences in the specialty “Biotechnology”; Kharkiv regional competition of student research papers in natural, technical and human sciences; City competition of student projects “Kharkiv – a city of youth initiatives”; International Competition of Student Scientific Works “Black Sea Science 2019”;

in Olympiads of different levels – I and II rounds of the All-Ukrainian Student Olympiad in Biotechnology and Bioengineering;

in conferences, congresses, seminars , annually taking part in the Scientific-practical conference with international participation “Scientific and technical progress and optimization of technological processes of drug development” (m. Ternopil); International Scientific and Practical Internet Conference “Biotechnology: Experience, Traditions and Innovations”, (Kyiv); International Scientific Conference of Young Scientists and Students, initiated by the Foundation of the First President of Kazakhstan – Elbasy and the South Kazakhstan Medical Academy “Prospects for the Development of Biology, Medicine and Pharmacy” (Shymkent); International Scientific And Practical Conference Of Young Scientists And Student (Section 7.
