BELHYDROMET

On March 25, 2026, Belhydromet opened its doors to participants of the educational project “Student for a Week.”

The event was part of the project’s 20th anniversary season, which has been running at Belarusian State University (BSU) from March 23 to 27, 2026.

On this day, Belhydromet welcomed a group of students majoring in “Nuclear and Radiation Safety” from the International Sakharov Environmental Institute of BSU.

One of the key objectives of the visit was to familiarize future specialists with the work of the departments directly responsible for radiation monitoring and meteorological forecasting in the country. During the visit, the students toured the following Belhydromet divisions:

- the Radiation Monitoring Service, where participants learned about radiation level control methods, modern instruments, and systems for tracking the radiation situation. Belhydromet specialists demonstrated how data is collected and analyzed and spoke about response measures in the event of any detected anomalies;

- the Short-Term Weather Forecasts, Adverse and Hazardous Phenomena Department of the Weather Forecasting Service, where students became acquainted with weather forecasting technologies, learned about working with meteorological data, and explored the use of specialized software. They were shown how forecasts are developed and disseminated daily through the media and a mobile application.

The visit was an important step in the professional orientation of the students. Future specialists were able to see the inner workings of an institution that could become their future workplace, ask questions to leading experts in hydrometeorology and radiation control, and understand how the theoretical knowledge acquired at university is applied in practice.

The students expressed their gratitude to Belhydromet staff for the warm welcome and detailed explanations. Some noted that the event strengthened their interest in the profession and gave them insight into the real-world tasks faced by specialists in radiation safety and meteorology.

This event represents another step in strengthening partnerships between Belhydromet and educational institutions. Such meetings contribute to the training of qualified personnel and raise awareness among young people about the importance of work in the fields of ecology, meteorology, and radiation safety.

We are pleased to share our experience and knowledge with future professionals!
