At the 14th International Scientific and Industrial Forum "Russia United," it was presented as a priority project. The launch was attended by the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Volga Federal District, G. A. Rapota, and the Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Valery Shantsev. |

Useful Activities
The site offers services that today's talented youth are in dire need of: posting their youth titles, orders, medals, and certificates of merit for all to see.

"RosTalant" is not for casual hookups or posting intimate photos. People have the opportunity to upload a serious résumé, copies of diplomas, medals, and awards, as well as files in a wide variety of formats — photographs of their inventions, audio files of music they have written, video files of their performances, and so on.
It is, in a sense, an evidentiary base proving that a person is talented. Member of the MGER political council, Sergey Bocharov

— To sum up everything that has been said, what can a talented person realistically gain from registering on the site?
— First of all, communication within a community of like-minded people and friends for working together on some shared social goal. Second — you can find your guru, someone you respect, admire, and value. Perhaps someone will find themselves a mentor or a coach. Third — the page has a daily planner and other business tools that will help you schedule your time, meetings, and so on. It is extremely important for us to equip the Youth Affairs Committees of municipal assemblies with this portal, so that they can see the people they work with.same author
