On March 3-5, the exhibition Intellectual Belarus in Vitebsk was visited by more than 40 thousand people from all over the region.

More than 20 enterprises, organizations, educational institutions in the northern region supplemented the main exposition of the exhibition Intellectual Belarus and presented about 100 projects.

Vasily Gursky, the Chief Scientific Secretary of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, noted, summing up the results of the exhibition in Vitebsk, "I think we were able to achieve our goal – the popularization of Belarusian science. I hope that everyone who visited the exhibition was able to make sure that our science is no worse than in other countries, we have something to be proud of, something to show. The National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, which organized the exhibition Intellectual Belarus, could not have done anything alone. All this happened thanks to the well-coordinated joint work of many and many. For the very opportunity to present the achievements of Belarusian science to the general public, as well as for the continued support of the scientific sphere in our country, I would like to thank President Alexander Lukashenko, on whose initiative this exhibition is being held in the regions. For the incredible hospitality, I would like to thank the head of the Vitebsk region, Alexander Subbotin, and everyone who was involved in holding this exhibition." Vasily Gursky stressed that government departments and volunteers provided great help.
