NEFU introduced inventions and innovative developments of integrated exposition, including new solutions in the field of biotechnology, graphene and polymer nanotechnologies. Recently, the XVII International Salon of Inventions and Innovation Technologies “Archimedes-2014” was held in Moscow.

NEFU developments got high marks and were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. North-Eastern Federal University was marked for high contribution to the development and promotion of invention and innovation in the region by Salon Region Cup. “The participation and merits of developments of our university at so serious and authoritative international events - is a prestige and the example of high intellectual potential of our inventors”, pointed Afanasy Vinokurov, the director of NEFU Center for Intellectual Property of Arctic Innovation Center.

Educational scientific and technological laboratory “Mechanochemical Biotechnologies” presented a dietary supplement of actoprotective, adaptogenic action from the lichen of the genus Cladonia and method of sorption material production from blastema, for which he received an official invitation from the President of the International Festival of Inventions, Knowledge and Innovations “Tesla-Fest” Andjelko Glavashevich.

During the exhibition, NEFU representatives negotiated on variants of cooperation with the leaders and representatives of organizations and institutions. Director of the Office of South-Eastern Europe and Asia countries of the World Intellectual Property Organization Mikhail Shvantner showed his willingness to participate in NEFU international scientific seminar “Intellectual Property in Innovation Development”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed that Russia has always been famous for its inventors. “We must save up the unique and innovative capital which has been accumulated by generations of talented Russian scientists, engineers and designers. Hundreds of discoveries are waiting for their hour, they are to be implemented into manufacture to make the Russian technical products competitive. Here again the priority is given to ensuring due protection of industrial property objects - patents, industrial samples, trade marks and certificates. I am convinced that the Salon “Archimedes” that has collected visitors from Russia and other states becomes a well-timed important impulse for modernization of national economy”, Vladimir Putin said.
