STUDENTS' RESEARCH WORK

Students' research work has the following objectives:
• expanding and deepening students' knowledge in the field of theoretical fundamentals of the disciplines studied, obtaining and developing practical skills of independent research;
• carrying out research to meet the challenge issued by science and practice;
• developing skills of stating own research findings and ability to ground the results obtained;
• implementing new information technologies into students' research to provide information and program support for scientific investigation and results obtained;
• creating a systemic methodology of researching various objects;
• carrying out individual work with students in order to form their system thinking under new conditions of economic development and establishing market relations in the Republic of Belarus;
• training and selecting young personnel for enrollment in master and postgraduate courses and their further use at higher educational institutions, organizations and enterprises.

The Students'Scientific Society (SSS) has been set up and functions at the Belarus State Economic University. It is a public body with its Emblem and Charter. It unites the university students engaged in research work. The SSS' activity is coordinated by the Academic Council and university administration. The Scientific Staff Training Board supervises this body.

Students' research work is carried out according to annual plans. The most widespread forms of students' scientific research at the BSEU are as follows:
• at a department level, students' participation in scientific circles, conducting scientific seminars, business situations modeling, organizing contests, competitions for the best knowledge of certain subjects, writing articles and research papers, students' participation in state-budgeted and contractual projects;
• at a school and university level, the organization of international, national, inter-university and university conferences, preparing students for participation in their future work, publication of papers, students` articles and abstracts, implementation of their research findings in the process of study, organization of the annual "Days of Science."

The subjects of the students' scientific research are connected with all stages of the teaching process: students' research - internship - term papers - practical (pre-degree) training. Research results find reflection in papers presented by students at scientific conferences, in reports on internship, in course papers, scientific and degree papers.

Scientific research results, their implementation in educational and production processes are made more profound through students' participation in state-budgeted and self-sustaining research work.

The University students take an active part in conferences and contests at various levels - international, national, and inter-university ones.

49 students took part in the international conferences in 2000, 32 in 2001, 63 in 2002.

Students' motivation to participating in research competitions has considerably increased. The amount of students' scientific works submitted to national competition has increased from 92 in 2000 to 101 in 2001 and 140 in 2002. The quality of scientific papers has improved: in the year of 2000 only 11 research papers received the first grade, in 2001 - 15 and in 2002 the number reached 47.

The quality of the students' research papers submitted to international competitions has also increased. While in 2000, of 21 research works submitted to the international competitions only two received awards, in 2001, of 8 research works participating in the annual All-Russia competition on economic and financial disciplines, the authors of eight works became winners of the competition, and the university took prize-winning places in special nominations: the second place «For active participation in the competition» and the fourth place "For the best organization of students' research work" among 238 universities of Russia and 4 universities of Belarus. In 2002, the authors of 25 research papers who took part in the competition became winners in various nominations. In the circular on the competition results the organizing committee acknowledged the high level of knowledge of our students and expressed hope for further fruitful cooperation.

In 2002, the students of Accounting and Economics School E.N.Sheremet, А.O.Dedinkina and J.В.Serbaev, participating in the International students` competition "Entrepreneurship and Management", section "Entrepreneurship, Accounting and Finance" held by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation on the basis of St. Petersburg Engineering-Economic University, became winners in nominations "For non-standard managerial decision-making" and "For the best presentation of business situations modeling". They were awarded with Diplomas of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.

In 2002 the 3d-year student of the Accounting and Economics School A.I.Nikoltseva participated in the Seventh Belarus international students` Competition on English, linguistics and regional geography, literature and culture of the English-speaking countries "Beyond the boundaries of text: the challenge of postmodernism". She was awarded with the third prize and a diploma. The international jury highly estimated the participation of BSEU students in the competition.

The BSEU teams annually participate in the international competitions on economics and management modeling. At this point, Belarus is the only participating country annually reaching the finals of the competition. In 2001 the BSEU team took the third place among 1070 teams from 64 countries of the world. The 2002 team of two participants including a student of Finance and Banking School Yury Zinkevich, took the 1st place among 1,125 teams from 65 countries of the world.

In 2002, the open European championship on economics and management modeling was held in Sofia, Bulgaria. Belarus was represented by a graduate student of the Dept. of Information Technologies in Management Pavel Bintsarovsky, who took the 1st place.
