During the ceremonial meeting of the Council of the regional parliament an award ceremony was held for the winners of the 19th contest "Laureate of the Prize of the Legislative Duma of the Tomsk Region" 2021 among young scientists. Anna Klimkina won in the "Humanities" category.
This year, 291 participants were registered. Among them 184 are the representatives of all Tomsk universities, as well as most of academic institutions of the city. For example, in the “Humanities” category 23 people have applied, in the “Natural Sciences” – 95 people, in the “Engineering Sciences” category – 66 people.
“I have applied for this contest for the second time in a row. Last year I couldn’t win, but this year my efforts were appreciated. This is the most significant achievement in my entire student career,” Anna tells.
According to her, Anna had to gather her entire portfolio in order to participate. Especially valuable are academic publications, patents. It is also required to write a cover letter that has to be certified by the TSU Scientific Council.
“I have never seen such solemnity and scale. We were awarded by the chairman and deputies of the Legislative Duma with flowers, a diploma, a medal, gifts, and they put on us a winner's honorary ribbon. We are also supposed to receive a big money prize and posters with a photo. But the best gift for every winner was a huge billboard with our photos taking the entire wall of the Drama Theater in the center of Tomsk. I definitely recommend everyone to participate and try themselves and their achievements in a struggle for the title of Laureate of the Prize of the Legislative Duma of the Tomsk Region,” Anna summarized.
We sincerely congratulate Anna and wish her the greatest of luck and inspiration!
