Our Friends

Successes of the First Step would be impossible without assistance of many institutions and persons. Some of them help us financially. Some provide us with books, journals, software etc. for the winners. Some of them make favourable publicity. Their role cannot be overestimated. This is why the Organising Committee has decided to establish special diploma and title Friend of Young Physicist for the persons and institutions for their merits for development of the competition.
