Students of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno – participants of the Young Analyst Summer School

On August 18, the Young Analyst Summer School 2026 was launched at the National Children's Technopark. For the third time, it has opened its doors to ambitious young people ready to present and implement advanced ideas. This year, the school acquired international status, bringing together 100 young analysts from Belarus, Russia and China, as well as specialists from various fields. Among the participants are students of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno.

At the Summer School our university is represented by third-year students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Victorya Akulchik and Ilya Pomas, fourth-year students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Palina Kavtsevich, Sofia Myachina and Euhenia Malevich, fourth-year student of the Faculty of Law Marya Maretskaya, second-year student of the Faculty of Pedagogy Marya Matyuk, fourth-year student of the Faculty of History, Communication and Tourism Veranika Melnik, and third-year student of the Faculty of History, Communication and Tourism Daria Ptashits.

This year's theme is modeling the future of Belarus in the context of artificial intelligence development. Divided into four teams, participants will examine this topic from the perspective of citizens, the state, business, and production.

Deputy Minister of Education of the Republic of Belarus Ekaterina Petrutskaia addressed the gathering with a welcoming speech. She emphasized the importance of the youth analytical movement:

– The opinion of talented young people is very important to us, as they are capable of proposing non-standard solutions. It is gratifying that the project has acquired a truly international scale, uniting the best minds from different countries. I am convinced that the synergy of cultures and competencies will allow us to reach a new level of effectiveness and give us truly breakthrough ideas that will form the basis of future strategies.

The Young Analyst Summer School has already established itself as a platform for exchanging experience, establishing business and friendly relations, and generating new ideas. Darya Ptashits is participating in the Young Analyst Summer School for the second time and notes that the school is a place where one can communicate directly with leading experts.

– There are not many platforms where young people can offer their ideas and discuss them with managers of such a level. And the international format of the school gives a fresh perspective on familiar things: when students from different countries come together in one team, non-standard solutions are born, we learn to understand each other and find answers to common challenges, – the student noted.

During the training, participants will enjoy exclusive lectures and master classes from recognized experts from relevant ministries and departments, work with experts from the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies and BelHARD company, and practical sessions on solving real business cases. The programme includes an excursion to the Great Stone Industrial Park, a trip to Brest, as well as cultural and sports events.

The school will run until August 24. The organizers are the Youth Analytical Community public association and the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus.
