Message of President of Mongolia Khaltmaagiin Battulga to the Neuroscience – XXI century conference, recited by Human Development and Social Policy Advisor D.Uuriintuya

“An educated, healthy, and hard-working Mongolian is the pillar of development and the source of economic growth of Mongolia. Elevating the knowledge and skills of Mongolians to world level should be supported by government policy.

The scholars and knowledge-makers are valuable backbone of national development. Historians say that Mongolians used to listen to the scholars when they were strong, and they were strong when they listened to the scholars. Our country prioritizes sustainable development and strives to transform into a producer country from a consumer country. Therefore, the role of science is unlimited in the conversion of scientific knowledge to product manufacturing and increase of the GDP.

In the framework of the Education and Science Support Policy in the 2017-2021 Policy and Action Program of the President of Mongolia, Nobel Laureate Lecture Series & international conference is planned to be held annually under the auspices of the President of Mongolia.

The humankind’s attempt to uncover the mysteries of the brain is important in terms of interpreting the basic concept of the human brain and civilization, as well as of finding the keys and answers to future unresolved matters in sciences, astronautics, artificial intelligence, and medical sciences.

I am delighted that this year’s scientific conference is being attended by leading scientists and honorary guests, including Norwegian neuroscientist and 2014 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine Edvard Moser, President of International Brain Research Organization Pierre Magistretti, Executive Director Stephanie de La Rochefoucauld, and Chief Editor of Neuroscience Journal Juan Lerma. I am confident that you will enjoy your stay in our auspicious country and come back again and again to contribute highly to the development of neuroscience in Mongolia.

The role of young scientists and researchers is massive in Mongolia’s contribution to the scientific development in the world and in building scientific knowledge in our home land. I am sure the presentations delivered by the renowned scholars will help Mongolians scientists, doctors, and specialists who came to the conference expand the scope of their scientific knowledge and gain motivation. Opportunities are open for us to keep pace with the global development, and the efforts of the scientists will determine whether or not we can develop and advance neuroscience in Mongolia," said President in his message.
