Descartes Prize for Science Communication. The

objective of this prize is to stimulate interest in

scientific journalism and, in general, to improve the art

of communicating science to the public. Five

outstanding projects from different scientific fields

were selected among 19 finalists in 2004 for their

outstanding contribution to stimulating interest in

science among the European public. More information

on the Descartes prizes can be found on:

http://www.cordis.lu/science-society/descartes/home.html.

Direct financial support for training and mobility at the

pre- and post doctoral level is offered through the

Marie Curie Fellowships

1

scheme. These fellowships

are for research work that can be located in academic

and industrial settings in EU Member and Associated

States to encourage young researchers to spend time

outside their own country to complete their training.

The scheme particularly encourages participation of

female researchers. 

In a more general sense mobility and non-formal

education is also supported by the Youth Programme



2

,

which targets young people aged between 15 and 25



years and offers possibilities to young people in the form

of both exchanges and voluntary work. This programme

is complemented by the Socrates

3

, which promotes

European co-operation in all areas of education

including schools and teaching. 

From 21-25 November 2005, young people can take

part in the European Science & Technology Week



4

.

The Science Week supports a programme of activities



that, although aimed at the broad general public, focus

very often on the participation of the younger

generation. There are few constraints on the types of

activities that can be funded and the Week has been

very successful in identifying innovative concepts that

have a real impact on improving young people’s

awareness of science. 

In 2002, the European Young Investigator (EURYI)



Award has been created, which is the initiative of 20

European Union Research Organisations from 16

countries and also contributes to the goals of the

European Research Area. The purpose of EURYI is to

attract outstanding young researchers from anywhere

in the world to work in Europe and lead their own

Young People, 

Science and Society

The history of Moscow State Textile University named

after A.N. Kosygin dates back to the times of creation of

higher textile education in Russia. During its 85 years life

the University has graduated thousands of specialists for

the textile and relevant branches of industry. 

The faculty of Applied Arts is the only higher

education faculty in Russia that educates

professionals in the wide range of specialties dealing

with the art design of suite, knitted wear, foot wear,

leather goods and textile, jewelry, as well as computer

graphics and marketing aspects of textile and light

industry. The faculty is famous for the high level of

education it gives in the sphere of apparel art design

and Textile Products Art Design which is proved by

the victories in both international and national

contests and the acknowledgement of the leading

designers of the world. That is why the faculty is very

popular with art-gifted youth.

The textile traditions of a powerful scientific school

preserved in the University combined with innovative

ideas and experimental art creativity are the reason,

why the MSTU was chosen to be the host

organization of a prestigious national contest within

the framework of the International Scientific and

Engineering Fair for Young Scientists “Step into the

Future”, the branch of Applied Art.

Due to many years of effort on behalf of students,

teachers, and employees of the University the

“Fashion and Design” section of the fair has found a

perfect venue for the creativity contest of Young

Russian talents.

Early-held conferences end with National Fair of Young

Fashion Designers and a bright gala performance of the

“Step into the Future” winners’ best works. The

participation in the Contest is a starting point for many

gifted young people who represent even the most

remote regions of our country.

But society is always evolving

More so than ever before, however, the pace of

change in our modern societies is quickening –

largely as a result of the rapid advances being made in

science and technology. The use of scientific

knowledge and its exploitation through technology

have become so important to the way that our

societies are developing that we must ensure that the

needs of society itself continue to be our prime

consideration. For far too long it has been presumed

that science generates knowledge that is

automatically converted into applications that society

will automatically accept and use. 

Therefore, in December 2001 the Commission

produced the Science and Society Action Plan

4

to



strengthen the links between the development of

science and society. This Action Plan is a part of a

broader strategy launched by the Commission in 2000

to create a European Research Area.  Many of the 38

actions set out in the Plan are being implemented

within the three key areas identified: 



scientific education and culture in Europe;

All possible avenues will be explored to promote

science among European citizens. Special events

and publicity campaigns will be organised to

raise awareness and stimulate debate. Research

organisations, the media, business and the

general public will be encouraged to get

involved in discussing the issues. 



• science policy and  European citizens;

Action will be taken to broaden and diversify

scientific perspectives. This will be done by

inviting contributions from different actors,

encouraging girls and boys to take up science,

and supporting women scientists.

Multidisciplinary research will be encouraged

to develop greater diversity in scientific ideas. 



• responsible science at the heart 

of policy making.

Scientists will be supported to make their work

more accessible so that they gain and maintain

public trust. Because scientific progress is

essential for our future quality of life, policy

makers will be given access to the best possible

scientific expertise before taking decisions. 

Resulting directly from this action plan and on the

basis of preparatory work being undertaken this year

a major pan-European initiative will be launched to

support science teaching in schools.  The aim is to

make science more attractive to young people so that

they continue their science studies and pursue

worthwhile and rewarding careers both on a personal

level and in terms of the contribution that they make

to society as a whole.



Other information: Stages

The European Commission offers short-duration in-

service training periods

(stages) for young university



graduates and public service employees. These training

periods involve work experience in one of the

Commission’s departments, and typically entail writing

minutes of meetings, research on a particular topic,

assessment of economic, financial and technical co-

operation projects or programmes at a level suitable for

junior executive officers.

With a view to contributing to the European education

and vocational training of young people and to

enabling them to understand the way in which the

institution functions, the European Parliament also

offers each year a number of traineeship options within

its Secretariat

research teams. Scientists submit proposals and if they

are successful, they are given the resources to pursue an

independent research career, and if appropriate, to

establish and develop a research group. It encourages

young researchers from all over the world to work in a

European environment thus benefiting the development

of European science and creating a platform for the next

generation of leading European researchers.

Another interesting EU project has been the

establishment of independent research organisations

known as Science Shops. The concept grew from the

student movement in the early 1970s when a group of

Dutch chemistry students decided to put their heads

together to help non-profit clients solve scientific

problems. They work for the local community and carry

out scientific research in a wide range of disciplines –

usually free of charge – on behalf of citizens. 

In 2004, the Directorate-General for Research launched

Nucleus, a major European science education

initiative. This collaborative effort between 50

European science centres, top research institutions,

universities and other organizations is designed to

enhance science teaching in schools all over Europe,

thereby motivating children to pursue scientific careers. 

The  Nucleus programme is an integrated set of

projects that link schools, laboratories, science centres,

academia, national and international teaching festivals.

It delivered a major web portal for science teaching

resources, an international journal for science teachers,

opportunities for training, and new methods for using

science related films in the classroom.  By bringing

these elements together, Nucleus aims to bridge the gap

between formal and informal education, cutting-edge

research and the classroom.



Xplora,  a web portal aimed at teachers, students,

scientists, science communicators and science

educators, is supported by one of the Nucleus projects.

Operated by a network of 28 Ministries of Education

across Europe, the portal provides members with a

wealth of resources, including science education news,

tips for teachers, innovative practical science

approaches and projects, and a database of websites

and digital learning resources for science education.

Xplora also enables users to create online communities

and join online discussions. More information

More information 

about the EU

European integration has delivered half a century of

stability, peace and economic prosperity. It has helped

to raise standards of living, built an internal market,

launched the euro and strengthened the Union's voice

in the world.

The process started shortly after the devastation

of the 2nd World War and was launched on 18 April

1951 with the signing of the Treaty establishing the

European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) which

would involve six countries: Belgium, Germany, France,

Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. On 25 March

1957 the Treaty of Rome was signed establishing the

European Economic Community (EEC) in order to

promote the free movement of people, services and

capital. A major revision of the Treaty of Rome was

signed on 17 February in Maastricht, which would lead

to the strengthening of the economic and monetary

ties between the members and define what we now call

today the European Union.

Over the years membership grew: in 1973: Denmark,

Ireland and the United Kingdom joined, Greece, Spain and

Portugal followed in 1981, and 1986. And in 1995 Austria,

Finland and Sweden brought the membership up to 15

Member States.The entry of eight central and eastern

European countries together with Cyprus and Malta into

the European Union on 1 May 2004 was a historic

achievement, ending centuries of division.

The European Union is based on the rule of law and

democracy. It is neither a new State replacing existing

ones nor is it comparable to other international

organisations. Its Member States delegate sovereignty to

common institutions representing the interests of the

Union as a whole on questions of joint interest. All

decisions and procedures are derived from the basic

treaties ratified by the Member States.

Principal objectives of the Union are: 

Establish European citizenship;



Ensure freedom, security and justice;

Promote economic and social progress;



Assert Europe's role in the world.

Konstantin E. Demikhov  

Executive Head of the Fair of the 17th EU

Conetst for Young Scientists, First Vice-Rector –

Vice-Rector in Scientific Work of the Bauman

Moscow State Technical University

Today we can see two polar tendencies being

melted together: one of them gives birth to

processes of fundamental specialization of

professional knowledge, the other one creates

scientific products that synthesizes natural,

technical, and humanitarian knowledge. A

new view of the world shows itself through

human creative work as the result of this

melting, a world in which scientific work

becomes the main source of cultural

amenities. It is thereby rather symbolic that

the European Union Contest that has

gathered the youth of science with so many

different scientific predilections is hosted in

Alma Mater of Russian Engineering School –

Moscow State Technical University named

after Bauman, the University that gave the

World so many creators and whose scientific

schools have a long lasting tradition of

supporting all kinds of manifestations a

creative personality can have in science, art,

and life. These schools also instill taste for

creative self-expression to the coming

generations.

Within the Bauman University there is a

continuous system of academic qualification

of youth starting from school, through the

years of student life, and finally to the post-

graduate education. The key role in

organizing this work belongs to the Office of

“Educational and Scientific Youth

Programmes and Projects”. It arranges

scientific and educational events of the “Step

into the Future” programme, such as fairs,

conferences, contests, and seminars, supports

student and scientific-educational seminars

and design bureaus, holds contests of student

works and the al-university conference

“Student Scientific Spring” (the latter includes

64 specialized sections). The Office also

coordinates the work of the Zhukovskiy

Students’ Scientific and Technical Society and

the Board of scientific work with youth of the

University.

The scientific infrastructure of the University

provides every facility for efficient scientific

work for both young people who are entering

the spheres of knowledge creation as well as

the specialists who create unique samples of

modern technical systems. In 2004 scientific

research works of the University participated

in 45 fairs, 13 of which were organized on the

University basis. During only the past year the

researchers of the University have been

awarded 12 gold and silver medals at the IV

International Fairs and the Grand Prix at

2nd International Fair in Seoul (South Korea).

It is beyond any doubt that the European

Union Contest for Young Scientists hosted by

the Bauman University possesses every

opportunity to become a significant scientific

event, while we hope that 35 countries present

are able to make special contribution into the

development of European and World Science.

We wish our young colleagues the best of luck

and creative inspiration!
