It is your mental capacity to create conditions of life, to be here to live, work and grow ", - said Igor Orlov. The governor said that he was ready to revive the program "Young scientists Pomerania," provided that the scientific community will formulate specific proposals for the support they would receive. Also, Igor Orlov believes that the Government of the field to work more closely with scientists and based on expert advice to provide support to current developments. Similar support is now in the form of grants for the development of small business projects.

Then was a conversation of Igor Orlov with a young scientist. The governor immediately made it clear that he is willing to consider all offers. According to him, the main task - is to change the attitudes of young people in the Arkhangelsk region as a temporary place of residence, where you can learn and then move to the cities. "It seems that in the big cities, there are a lot of perspectives for growth. In the Arkhangelsk region even more features, but you just little know about them.

The house problems worried all those, who presented at the meeting and the governor agreed that the solution to this problem will significantly reduce the outflow of youth from the region. According to Igor Orlov, there are several options that should be considered to solve the house problem. One of them - is the building a home for young scientists in the framework of the regional programs.

Balantsev Gregory, the chairman of the Young Scientists of the NArFU and asked to facili- tate an access of the library name Dobrolyubov's, which is leading the bibliographic databases, including foreign ones. This is necessary to access has been provided to all those involved in the region, research activities. He also recalled that there was a system used to support young scientists of the government, but last year it was closed. Igor Orlov vowed to return to the program, as it can encourage to young people to study science in his native region.

About an acute shortage of teachers in the region, geographers said the fifth-year student of the Institute of Natural Sciences and Biomedicine Andrew Gavzov. He suggested the government to pay attention to the field of organizing summer camps for the children, which can be combined with a cognitive component, and thus attract the attention of students to the geography and ecology.

The student of Severodvinsk branch of NArFU, Natalia Petukhova drew attention to the fact that not all young people want to work at Severodvinsk shipyards. And since the prospects of finding decent-paying job in the city of shipbuilders on the other profiles is difficult, there is a serious outflow of Severodvinsk in other regions. Natalia in the third generation working in Severodvinsk enterprise "Arctic." The student believes that it is necessary to change the relationship between businesses, families, who by generations work at these facilities, and youth, which must involve the development of production.

"The young people have not the right idea of the capabilities of enterprises of Severodvinsk, and it is the fault of their managers. Not communicating with young people, they make a strategic mistake, "- said the Governor. According to him, Severodvinsk enterprise - is not only submarines, is a great chemical laboratory, research centers for monitoring of nuclear safety, advanced technology in metal processing, super creating the diamond-cutting, etc. Business leaders must change their policies and inform the public of its other features. While they are engaged only in profitability, timing of delivery of facilities and other production issues. "Today, it is impossible to build a submarine, without seeking the solutions of problems in electronics, chemistry, computer science, etc. In the shipbuilding industry is applied to all things, even for specialists in the food industry as well as technological solutions for cooking in submarines and ships are outdated and they should be changed. That’s why the need for new solutions in other industries such as furniture. The new knowledge is needed in all sectors and industries "- gave examples of the governor. Igor Orlov believes that due to the potential of cities like Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk, the region has great potential for successful development.

Igor Orlov said the regional government is ready to work with young people, who know how to make money on their projects and ask the authorities of having not money, and help in the promotion of ideas.

and the new deepwater port ", - said Igor Orlov

The students are nervous about the actual problem of internal migration of talented youth in the neighboring or central regions of Russia. To this the governor replied firmly: "In the capital cities to realize their dreams is not easy.
