On May 16, 2022, the 16th Minsk International Forum on Heat and Mass Transfer began its work.

This is a major international scientific event organized by the Institute every 4 years. This year the forum is attended by about 230 scientists, including 160 foreign researchers. The 16th Minsk International Forum on Heat and Mass Transfer is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the A.V. Lykov Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, as well as such significant dates as: 110 years since the birth of the famous Belarusian scientist Alexei Lykov and 90 years since the birth of Rem Soloukhin. These scientists led the Institute in different years.

The forum is dedicated to the study of various aspects of the energy transfer of matter in systems such as energy, space technology, nuclear energy, energy efficiency, phase transitions and much more. Without such processes, not a single branch of the national economy can exist. This determines the relevance of the holding such events. The forum, which will run on May 16-19, includes plenary sessions, sections with the oral and poster presentation of reports (messages), round tables, lectures. The subject of the event is multifaceted and covers such topical scientific areas as: convective-radiative heat transfer; heat and mass transfer during phase and chemical transformations; heat and mass transfer in power engineering and technological processes. Thermal and transport processes in systems with nano- and microstructures, high-temperature heat and mass transfer, plasma systems and technologies, heat and mass transfer in the processes of synthesis of new materials, thermal control of optical and electronic systems; modeling and control of heat and mass transfer processes will be discussed.

Today the A.V. Lykov Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is the largest scientific institution in the republic that develops energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies and equipment, apparatus and instruments for the energy and mechanical engineering, agro-industrial complex and construction industry, medicine, chemical, electronic, radio engineering, food industry, space industry.
