Being a specialist on applied cardiovascular surgery Mr. Vaage also published more than 100 popular academic papers and made a variety of presentations at international conferences.

The professor shared how to prepare a report for presentation, and how to submit an application for prestigious grants.

“Take into account both quality and quantity. However it doesn`t mean that some of your papers can be low-quality. To become a professor in Scandinavian countries you have to choose 10 or 20 the most important papers. The less important papers have to be presented in other list, which is taken into account too. Thus you have to present good papers and excellent papers. If some of them are not published in leading academic journals you should try to promote them,” noted Jarle Vaage.

Professor also advised to write more scientific reviews, collaborate on papers with other researchers and take part in conferences.  

“It should be easy to work with your research team. Make a right choice. Publish as many academic papers as it possible. Don`t afraid to accept challenges and work hard,” summed up Mr. Vaage.

According to Vladimir Borisov, Master`s Student of the Chair of Photonics and Optoinformatics and researcher of ITMO University terahertz medicine  lab, OSC participants initiate a lot of trainings and lectures for students in order to upgrade their skills and prepare them for research activities. Thus advices of experienced international scientists are noticeable for them.

“Sometimes heads of research team have no time to control and help all participants. Students should get required knowledge by themselves. That is why we appreciate professors who train students giving them valuable advices,” said Vladimir Borisov.

ITMO University Optical Student Chapter organizes a variety of events and meetings for young researchers such as IX International Young Scientists Conference "Optics – 2015," which will be held in October. ITMO University Optical Student Chapter is in the Top-3 OSCs in the world according to Optical Society of America.
