A scientific and methodological conference on the topic “The importance of using the experience of leading scientists in attracting young people to scientific activities” was held at the Institute of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan.
Director of the Institute, Candidate of Chemical Sciences Hallymyrat Atayev noted the importance of mentoring in the training of highly educated young specialists. Currently, about 50% of the employees of the Institute of Chemistry are young people. Their number increases every year due to graduates of domestic universities and young people who graduated from higher educational institutions in China, Russia and Belarus. As it was emphasized, mentoring is one of the centuries-old traditions of the Turkmen people, ensuring the continuity of generations and the transfer of accumulated knowledge and experience.

Atamalov, who touched upon the issues of organizing joint activities of scientific institutions and higher educational institutions, integration of science and education.
