Many of our scientists and their achievements in research are widely known in the country and abroad, however, science in PSU has always evolved around specific features of the region’s industry. In such areas as petro-chemistry and oil refining, machine building, construction and housing and communal services, Polotsk State University is the undisputed leader in the implementation of the regional programme «Innovative Development of Vitebsk Region». In recent years, the regional emphasis of research at Polotsk State University has been made not only in the fields of engineering and technology. The development of social sciences and humanities at the University led to new studies of socio-economic, historical, archaeological and linguistic fields. For the past ten years our University has been taking leading positions for its achievements in research among other Belarusian universities.
