Science plays a fundamental role in making progress towards the SDGs by providing data for decision-making and providing information to develop more sustainable solutions. Science can accelerate transformational change by identifying the most important interactions within the SDGs, helping to fill data gaps, and tracking progress. Scientific seminars are an important component in scientific life. Therefore, it is important to hold regular scientific seminars at the university. The purpose of this seminar is to coordinate the innovative activities of young scientists and doctoral students. Scientific projects, goals and objectives of applications submitted for the GF and CYS competitions were discussed.
