Opening the scientific forum, the Director of the Institute of Sociology Gennady Korshunov reminded that the Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Belarus was established on 16 January 1990, largely thanks to Yevgeny Mikhailovich Babosov, who became its first head, and today is an honorary director. "Over the years, the Institute has not only become a leading branch scientific institution of the country. During this time several sociological schools have been formed in Belarus. At the same time, it was academician Babosov who at the earliest stage caught the huge potential of the formation of the IT-country by publishing a conceptual article on this topic," - Gennady Korshunov said.
