On April 5, the winners of the regional competition "UMNIK" and the competition "UMNIK-NTI" from the Rostov region of the Innovation Promotion Fund became known .

The UMNIK program is an opportunity for young innovators to implement their innovative project. Students, graduate students and young scientists aged 18 to 30 can take part in the competition. The main preference in the competition is given to commercially oriented scientific projects, the creators of which receive a grant of 500,000 rubles for a period of 2 years.

During 2020, 9 semi-final selections of innovative projects were held in the region. A total of 162 applications from the Rostov region and other regions were submitted for the competition.

The winners of the semi-finals underwent a mandatory procedure of impersonal examination in other regions, within the framework of which candidates and doctors of sciences in the relevant disciplines additionally evaluated the scientific novelty of each project.

77 projects in 6 directions were admitted to the final:

H1. Digital technologies.

H2. Medicine and technologies of health preservation.

H3. New materials and chemical technologies.

H4. New devices and intelligent manufacturing technologies.

H5. Biotechnology.

H6. Resource-saving energy.

In the final, the projects were reviewed by qualified experts and evaluated the point of view of innovation and the prospects for the commercialization of the result of research work.

Regional competition grants were awarded to 27 innovative projects in the Rostov region.

In 2020, the Innovation Promotion Foundation also conducted an additional selection under the UMNIK program in conjunction with the working groups of the National Technology Initiative (NTI). Under this competition, 7 projects were supported in the Rostov region.

We are pleased to present the winners of the regional competition "UMNIK" 2020 and  "UMNIK-NTI" .
