The Russian Geographical Society has announced the results of its 2025 Grant Competition. RGS grants are endowment funds allocated for basic and applied research, educational publishing, and media projects targeting the Society's goals and objectives.
This year, 39 regional and 45 open-call grants were awarded through competitive selection. Scientists from the Karelian Research Centre RAS are among the winners.
Nikolai Filatov, Corr. Academician, Chief Researcher at the Northern Water Problems Institute KarRC RAS, will implement a project to create a traveling exhibition entitled “K.I. Arseniev – Outstanding Geographer, Statistician, and One of the Organizers of the Russian Imperial Geographical Society.” His biography has ties to Petrozavodsk and Karelia. Every two years, the Institute of Economics traditionally holds Arseniev’s Readings – science-to-practice conference with international participation. The traveling exhibition is supposed to be displayed at the National Museum of the Republic of Karelia, Karelian Research Center RAS, Petrozavodsk State University, and in cities and national parks of the republic.
The project of Anastasiia Lyzlova, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Linguistics, Literature and History KarRC RAS, is “Folk Tales of the Russian North in the RGS Scientific Archives.” Its main tasks are to locate folk tales of Northern Russia in the Scientific Archives of the Russian Geographical Society, to describe and annotate them, and prepare the manuscript for a scientific publication. The project will introduce unique archival materials from the mid-19th to the first third of the 20th century into scientific circulation. The project outputs will be an annotated register of sources and a manuscript of folk tales of the Russian North, as well as popular-science lectures on the formation history of the largest or the lesser-known folk-tale collections from the RGS Scientific Archives.
Congratulations and wishes for productive work to the winners of the RGS grant competition!
