Nizhny Novgorod region launched the "Interregional Scientific Express."

      Nizhny Novgorod Region has launched the first scientific-popular route in Russia, "Interregional Scientific Express," which will connect Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, and Novosibirsk. This was reported by the press service of the governor and the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region. The first participant of the ten-day journey is the winner of the sixth season of the all-Russian competition "Science. Territory of Heroes" — a schoolboy from Zavolzhye, Yevgeny Bogdashov.

      Nizhny Novgorod Region was chosen as the starting point because the region is among the leaders in Russia in the development of scientific-popular tourism. There are 12 routes here that combine science, industry, and history. The Nizhny Novgorod practice has repeatedly received federal recognition, including taking first place at the V All-Russian Award "Regions of Tourism and Hospitality" Russian Travel Awards.

      The tour participants — Yevgeny and his mother — live in the IT campus "NEIMARK." On the first day, the guests visited the Privolzhsky Research Medical University, the ambulance museum, and the P.K. Anokhin Scientific Collaboration House.

      The second day is dedicated to folk arts and crafts. The guests will travel to Semyonov and Gorodets, where they will learn about traditions and modern developments in design and production technologies. The third day is related to engineering. At the Nizhny Novgorod Technical University named after R.E. Alekseev, they will learn how modern robotics and additive technologies are developing, and at the "Foliplast" enterprise, they will see how advanced production using 3D printing is organized.

      Next, the route will go to the Republic of Bashkortostan, where participants will see the inter-university campus of the Eurasian Scientific and Educational Center, the Center for Intellectual Genomics, and will climb Mount Toratau (included in the global network of UNESCO geoparks). The tour will conclude in the Novosibirsk region — in Akademgorodok and evolutionary museums, where one can trace the path from fundamental science to the richness of living nature.

      The creation of new tourist routes and the development of tourist infrastructure aligns with the goals and objectives of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality."
