In September 25-26, 2013 at the All-Russian scientific-research institute of aviation materials (VIAM) under a support of the Russian fund of fundamental investigations and assistance of the Russian academy of sciences an International scientific-research conference “Development of fundamental bases of materials science of light alloys and composite materials on their basis for creation of articles of aerospace and nuclear engineering », that was timed to 100-anniversary from the date of birth of a prominent scientist, academician of RAS, doctor of technical sciences, professor Iosif Naumovich Fridlyander.
The General director of VIAM, academician of RAS, professor Eugeny Nicolaevich Kablov opened the event.
He greeted guests of the conference and thanked «for the memory about the prominent scientist, whose name is known all over the world and who gave up his life to VIAM, science and service to the Motherland ».
According to Eugeny Kablov, nowadays it is very important to preserve an interaction of applied and fundamental science, the very scientific basis and school, which were created by our great scientists, it is also necessary to use their experience and knowledge more actively. «Our science is able to become a general motive force of social-economic development of Russia, a transition of the country to a new engineering structure. The main thing for achievement of this aim is a support of the state and society, a control and real results », – he noted. In opinion of Eugeny Kablov, the role of the Russian academy of sciences is very important in this process.
In the field of new engineering patterns creation the head of VIAM emphasized a special role and significance of a general designer, who , as a rule, works very tightly with scientists- materials specialists. «If the great scientist of the Middle Ages Leonardo de Vinchi had possessed necessary materials, he could have realized much more genial ideas and inventions of his», – Eugeny Kablov reminded.
Further a documentary film, dedicated to the life and scientific achievements of the prominent scientist was shown to participants of the conference.
It should be noted, that by the results of the international conference collected reports will be issued.
It is notable, that on the threshold of the anniversary of the prominent scientist the book was published, issued by the Russian academy of sciences, which was handed over to the participants of the conference. It was devoted to the life of I.N. Fridlyander and was prepared under a general editorship of the General director of the All-Russian scientific-research institute of aviation materials, academician of RAS, professor Eugeny Nicolaevich Kablov.
In September 26, 2013 a memorial plaque was placed on the territory of VIAM in commemoration of I.N.Fridlyander , but also the subject exposition, devoted to his scientific achievements was presented.
