Creation

Since 2004 Orenburg State University Institute of Bioelements is the satellite centre to Trace Element — Institute for UNESCO in Russia.

Dear Professor SKALNY,
On behalf of Trace Element — Institute for UNESCO (TEU), I would like to congratulate Orenburg State University and especially the Institute of Bioelementology on the creation of the new Satellite Centre to TEU. It is the first time that a new Satellite Centre has been established on the border between Europe and Asia: this is very symbolic for our Institute's network system throughout the globe. We hope that our cooperation with the new established Centre will be very successful through joint projects and the general strategy of development for the interest of the International Scientific Community and human health. I wish every success to our colleagues in Orenburg.

With warmest personal regards,
Prof. G. Chazot, President of TEU
Lyon, May 30, 2005

Opening of the Satellite Centre of Trace Element — Institute for UNESCO in Orenburg and conferment of RUSTEM as an associated member of this unique scientific organization is a significant step in development of the knowledge on biological role of trace elements in Russia and CIS. The Bioelementology Institute staff and all RUSTEM members get excellent opportunity to rise the level of their scientific investigations and achieve considerable success in practical health service by involving in collaboration with so many as 20 counties of the world.

Prof. A. Skalny

Location

Institute of Bioelements is situated in one of the most amazing cities of Russia. During the reign of the empress Anne (1730–1740) the city was conceived as "a window to Asia", and deliberately located at the cross — roads of trade routes between Europe and Asia. There is a geographic boundary between Europe and Asia.

The Institute is the division of the youngest and most dynamically developing universities of Russia — Orenburg State University. It is the largest educational, scientific and industrial centre with a powerful development potential.

Objectives

In accordance with the Science Agenda, adopted at the UNESCO World Conference on Science in Budapest, Hungary, June 26 — July 1, 1999, Institute of Bioelements as a satellite centre Trace Element — Institute for UNESCO (TEU) has agreed to promote:

  • Analytical chemistry;
  • Geo-environmental studies - the influence of the ecosystem: industrialised countries versus developing countries;
  • Scientific co-operation to reduce avoidable ill-health.


Research area

  1. Evaluation of how the teenagers in Orenburg are provided with micronutrients for the prophylactic of some ecology-dependent diseases.
  2. New sources of micronutrients: discovering and testing in order to correct the alimentary deficiency in the nourishment of the man and animals.
  3. New technologies in the use of probiotical complexes in the nourishment of the man and animals.
  4. Ecological monitoring of the foodstuff and vegetative raw material in the territory of Orenburg area.
  5. Theory of conformity of the food substrates to the needs of the alive organism — new approaches.
  6. Evaluation and correction of composition of potable water in the territory of Orenburg area.
