Given the growth in the world population, rising energy consumption, the depletion of natural resources, and climate change, ensuring the sustainable development of modern society and preserving world civilization as a whole is one of the global challenges of the present time. For new generations, we must maintain access to sufficient sources of usable water, food, materials, energy, and other resources. The growing consumption of natural resources is a trend that can only be reversed through the consistent replacement of existing technologies with nature-like technologies, i.e., reproducing systems and processes of living nature in the form of technical systems and technological processes that are integrated into the natural environment and natural resource circulation. The approach to fundamentally new, nature-like technologies that do not damage the surrounding world, but exist in harmony with it and will restore the balance that humans have disturbed between the biosphere and the technosphere was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary meeting of the 70th anniversary session of the UN General Assembly on 28 September 2015 in New York. In order to increase the efficiency of Russia’s scientific and technical policy, ensure the country’s technological independence and competitiveness, achieve its national development goals, and implement strategic national priorities through the rapid development of nature-like technologies, the Russian president signed the corresponding Decree No. 818 on 2 November 2023. The decree assigns the functions of the leading scientific organization in this regard to the Kurchatov Institute National Research Centre. What are nature-like technologies, what opportunities and threats do they pose to the world, and what are the main focuses for their development?Roll up

In Russia, diverse projects to promote science are currently becoming part of a single ecosystem, as their reach and quality of their content expands. However, Russian science and technology has a weak personification; there is no clear image of a hero, such as a scientist, engineer, or technological entrepreneur. In this regard, it is particularly important to determine how existing and planned media projects are helping to solve the problem of filling the information space with the names of people who are drivers of Russia’s innovative development and whose achievements any Russian can be proud of. The session participants will share experience and opinions on the steps and media techniques that are crucial for the emergence of domestic heroes who inspire young Russians to achieve new scientific and technological breakthroughs. What is the reason for the low personification of science and technology? What images of heroes are essential for Russia to achieve technological sovereignty? What resources are needed to produce such heroes for the entire country? What heroes have already emerged from existing initiatives to promote science and technology? What further work should be done with them and who should do it? Is science a sink or swim world, or do scientists and tech developers need professionals who will take them by the hand and lead them along the path of promoting their knowledge and personality? Who could serve as such a guide? What benefits do scientists see from participating in media projects? How can scientists have a high media profile, while not betraying the scientist and developer in themselves? Does publicity harm their main activities? Where can we find a happy middle ground?Roll up

We will discuss the main problems associated with studying and developing the World Ocean, such as the ocean’s role in the climate, its biological and mineral resources, and extreme ocean-related events. This will help provide the Congress participants with an idea of the prospects for the development of the World Ocean as a possible human habitat, on the one hand, as well as the ability to forecast the state of the ocean and its role in climate change, on the other hand. Can we predict climate change without taking into account the role of the ocean? What is the current ecological state of the ocean and how will it change in the future? Is the resource base of the oceans limited solely to mineral and environmental resources?Roll up

Global Universities is an association that brings together leading Russian universities that ensure that Russian research and education maintains a stable presence in the global market. The Association’s member universities have developed a wide range of tools to attract young foreigners and involve them in science. Discussing this issue will be useful for Russian universities that are looking for tools to develop international scientific projects. Even though Russian universities and scientists have seen their presence wane in projects being implemented by countries that have unfriendly relations with Russia, new opportunities are arising for the development of science with new international partners. There has been an uptick in interest in Russian research among young foreigners. For example, the intellectual competition ‘International Olympiad of the Association for Master’s and Postgraduate Students’ annually attracts roughly 80,000 young people from 192 countries, almost a third of whom plan to participate in research projects at Russian universities as part of their postgraduate programmes. Young people around the world have shown the greatest interest in business, management, engineering, technology, computer science, data science, biology, biotechnology, clinical medicine, and public health. The greatest demand has been seen for: financial management, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, computer science, information systems, biochemistry, molecular biology, the design and construction of civil facilities, electrical engineering, electronics, and general mechanical engineering. The discussion will focus on the following issues: what factors influence the decision of young foreign scientists to choose Russia as a place for their scientific research? What are the most effective tools for attracting young foreigners to conduct research? How can we improve the attractiveness of Russian scientific institutions and universities for young foreign scientists? How can we overcome the language barrier and ensure communication with foreign students and researchers in Russian research projects? What forms of support for young foreigners are most effective for them to successfully adapt to the Russian scientific environment?Roll up

Today, there are three interrelated problems with the economic development of many of Russia’s regions, which can be solved with the active involvement of scientific and educational organizations: a shortage of skilled professions in the R&D and technological development sectors; a lack of companies that create long-term demand for technological development; and a lack of technological resources to ensure the competitiveness of companies in the regions in the medium term. World-class campuses are being designed to overcome these challenges. As part of their creation, though, the regional authorities and universities have reached an important fork in the road. What is the current situation with the commercialization of scientists’ research results and expertise in Russia’s regions today? What problems do the regions plan to solve by building new campuses and a commercialization system? Do the regions have a technology development strategy and how is it formed? What businesses’ expectations from the development of a regional commercialization system? Which highly skilled professionals will be most in demand over the next 5–7 years?Roll up

In the modern scientific and educational world, there are four unique universities that were co-founded by the governments of two countries: Russia–Armenia, Russia–Belarus, Russia–Kyrgyzstan, and Russia–Tajikistan. Despite the different names of the universities, they are generally defined in Russia as “Slavic”. This format for establishing universities appeared after the collapse of the USSR and imposed certain requirements in terms of determining their mission, goals, and objectives, as well as the special aspects of managing and funding them. Each university has its own unique features, but there are also common goals. The panel discussion will address the experience of these universities and their history, as well as identify top priorities for their social and technological development until 2050. The discussion will pay particular attention to the role and place of young scientists in the development and modernization of “Slavic” universities, including the importance of the Young Scientists Council and the Student Research Society in improving the quality of education and involving talented young people in science and higher education for the benefit of their countries.Roll up

Chemistry has saved Russia in some of its most difficult times. For example, in the 1950s, a unique state chemicalization programme was created and launched, and within just a few short years, chemists were feeding the country thanks to new fertilisers and plant protection products, providing clothes for the country thanks to the production of new fibres and fabrics, ensuring the country’s defence, and eventually sending flights into space thanks to the creation of solid rocket fuel. How can chemistry be used to help key industries today? What is micro- and small-scale chemistry and why is it crucial to develop these particular branches of chemical production today? How can we learn to make generics? What role do scientific organizations and universities play in creating the next in the line of well-known products and innovative materials and medicines? How should personnel be trained to address these issues?Roll up

Despite the active development and implementation of a huge number of successful projects and discoveries, the achievements made by Russian science are the “property of a select few”. Information about them is not sufficiently distributed to a wide audience, so people have a limited awareness about the successes of the scientific sector. To popularize science among a broader audience and strengthen patriotic values, Russia’s technological achievements need to be discussed in a language that is accessible. Social media is the most suitable option for solving this problem, since the younger generation trusts the opinion of bloggers. Young scientists themselves are the best ones to talk about scientific achievements and can become public opinion leaders thanks to popular science content on national social media networks. Why is the issue of promoting scientific achievements in the media so important today? How does the popularization of science affect Russia’s economic and cultural progress? Can the media and new media set trends to make science and the scientific community more appealing to young people? Why should the country’s young minds become the new opinion leaders? Why is business interested in young scientists taking centre stage so that there is more scientific content?Roll up

The Kamchatka Territory is a unique natural laboratory for studying all kinds of phenomena and objects. The unique natural landscape, with its pristine territory, diverse terrestrial and marine ecosystems, enormous populations of Pacific salmon, rookeries of sea pinnipeds, habitat of sea otters, high level of thermal, seismic, and volcanic activity, allows for a wide variety of research in the region to study nature and its impact on human life, and also provides an opportunity to develop applied research in order to monitor hazardous natural processes and minimize risks from hazardous natural phenomena for humans and the economy. In 2023, the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education will wrap up its comprehensive programme ‘Ecological Safety of Kamchatka: Study and Monitoring of Hazardous Natural Phenomena and Manmade Impacts’. The programme was launched after the catastrophic red tide events in autumn 2020, which impacted the health and well-being of people in Kamchatka, and also resulted in the mass death of marine aquatic organisms. The implementation of this programme from 2021 to 2023 by leading Russian scientific organizations revealed the need for the further development of comprehensive scientific research in Kamchatka, and the expansion of the scientific agenda. The session will present the results of scientific research conducted in 2021-2023 and recap the experience of two satellite events of the Young Scientists Congress in Kamchatka. The speakers will focus on the concept of the new Programme for Comprehensive Scientific Research in Kamchatka, which was initiated by Kamchatka Territory government. The programme will include scientific research and the development of new technologies in the following four areas: ecology and biodiversity, volcanology and seismology, renewable energy, and people living in the extreme conditions of the North. The new programme proposes creating a world-class centre in Kamchatka to conduct fundamental and applied scientific research of the region’s natural objects and human potential in order to introduce technological innovations and strengthen Russia’s position in the scientific development of the World Ocean, the Far East, and the Arctic.Roll up

Rural areas make up more than 98% of all populated areas in Russia and are home to one quarter of the total population or almost half of the population if small towns are included (57.7 million people). One of Russia’s priority national goals is to meet the needs of rural residents for a comfortable living environment in terms of the availability of high-quality essential social services, as well as professional and personal fulfilment. A key factor in the sustainable development of rural areas is the creation of conditions for the innovative and technological development of the main sectors of the economy by supporting young scientists. Their scientific research is what drives the progressive development of Russia’s vast territory. Encouraging research and project-based activities among young people in rural areas and intensifying different forms of cooperation between young scientists who study problematic issues in rural areas are effective tools for supporting scientific research among young people in rural areas as part of the implementation of key aspects of Russia’s scientific and educational policy. What issues will the scientific community need to address in the next ten years in order to ensure the sustainable development of rural areas? What needs to be done to attract talented and motivated young people from rural areas to science?

Science fiction helps shape the future by presenting new technologies and scientific discoveries that could change the world. The works of science fiction writers inspire scientists and researchers to make discoveries that will enable us to improve our lives. Science fiction helps us realize that the future is not inevitable and that we can influence its course through our actions and choices. It also helps us imagine what the consequences of scientific developments and initiatives will be, and can warn of possible threats to humanity, such as environmental disasters, global conflicts, or unemployment caused by the introduction of new technologies. How can science fiction help shape an image of the future? Is science fiction a reflection of modern technology, or, on the contrary, does it stimulate progress and development? How can science fiction help us develop science and create technology, as well as build a society of the future?Roll up

The rapid development of information technologies, the cyborgization of ethical and moral aspects of social life, and the antagonism of artificial and ‘anthropological’ intelligence all accentuate the need for humanistic reflection about the ways to develop society and humankind in the digital era, and also raise questions about spirituality and the harmonious holistic development of human consciousness in the current conditions. But only a balanced human personality can and should become the key to new opportunities to ensure Russia’s scientific and technological leadership in the near future and for decades to come. A humanistic examination of digital technologies: how can we counter cyberbullying and cyber aggression? What role do digital technologies play in shaping a harmonious picture of the world among future scientists? The matrix of progress: is digitalization a necessary evil, or a new opportunity for humans? The effectiveness of numbers: how can Russian culture ensure the competitiveness of domestic inventions and the priority development of the country’s scientific and technical sector amidst the changes that are occurring in civilization?Roll up

Shipbuilding, as one of the most knowledge-intensive industries, requires a continuous range of advanced research to develop new principles and approaches to identifying priorities in the innovative design and construction of ships and vessels. If Russia is the first to obtain fundamental knowledge, then it will be the first to develop technology. If Russia uses the knowledge that its competitors have acquired, they will do it first. To achieve the goals of increasing the energy efficiency and eco-friendliness of ships and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, it is crucial to move from power-saving features to fundamentally new comprehensive technical measures. What are they? The prospect of developing shipbuilding will force Russia to use alternative energy sources, which include hydrogen, battery-driven electric propulsion, and, of course, solar and wind power. How are additive technologies and special materials for the Arctic being created and introduced? Why is it important to pay special attention to the creation of marine robotics and intelligent systems for unmanned navigation?Roll up

In the 1920s, the foundations of a new state, the USSR, were laid. The industry that had been destroyed needed to be restored and put on a new track as quickly as possible, and the economy, education, and science had to be developed based on new principles. Despite the difficult economic situation, internal political turmoil, and almost complete external isolation, the Bolshevik government understood the importance and urgency of measures needed to develop science in the Soviet republic. After World War II, the atomic project became a catalyst for the development of many new areas of science and technology, and changed the geopolitical picture of the world. As part of nuclear and, a little later, space projects, complex interdisciplinary and integrated technologies and industries, such as new materials science, nuclear energy, computing technology, microelectronics, nuclear medicine, and robotics, began to develop. Having deeply studied the principles of the structure of nature and its mechanisms, we can actually reproduce its processes with modern science. This will provide people with a fundamentally different level of energy consumption that is economical, like nature itself, and will create new opportunities for increasing life expectancy, improving its quality, and living in harmony with the biosphere.Roll up

The ambitious goal of making science fashionable can be solved using different tools. One of them involves attracting a young audience through content. Lots of scientists began their path to science when they were young. Reading a popular science book, subscribing to a magazine, or watching a film or science show can all arouse genuine interest that goes on to become the meaning of life for scientists. As part of the Decade of Science and Technology, the Internet Development Institute has opened a laboratory to connect the creative and scientific worlds by uniting teams in media projects. The past year has not only shown successful examples of combining science and media, but also demonstrated a trend of audiences becoming more interested in such projects. Scientific and popular science projects are gaining more and more new audiences and expanding the ecosystem of collaboration: discussion clubs are being opened, newspapers are being published, and formats for cooperation are expanding. This has all become possible thanks to the creative industry’s active cooperation with scientists. It is time to take a scientific snapshot and evaluate the results of the work that has been carried out over the last year: what are some of the new projects and what results have they had? Has the development of scientific and popular science content strengthened on the Internet? What measures have been taken to provide systemic support for such projects? How can we expand scientific expertise in artistic projects and shows?Roll up

Scientific cinema is one of the most effective ways to ensure scientific communication. When scientists become actively involved in the filmmaking process, they ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information that is presented. They also help filmmakers turn complex scientific concepts into simple ones that everyone can understand. Independent documentary films dedicated to science help us reveal the emotional aspects of the scientific process and get viewers to engage in a dialogue with the author or main character of the film. Films of this genre awaken viewers’ interest in science, affect their perception of the world around them, and encourage new research and discoveries. Scientific cinema takes us on an amazing journey where scientists and filmmakers work together to reveal to us the importance of science. How does this connection take place and how does scientific research translate to the screen?Roll up

The brain, and the human nervous system as a whole, is an extremely complex apparatus that coordinates the vital functions of the body and regulates its behaviour. Humanity is still trying to understand the operating principles of the brain and influence how it functions. These attempts have led to the emergence of neurotechnologies, a set of methods that can read and control information from the nervous system. Some neurotechnologies are already being used in medicine to correct diseases of the nervous system, while others are just making their way from the laboratory to the clinic. But one thing is for sure: they work, they are a highly interdisciplinary field, and they are an extremely attractive field of science, technology, medicine, and business where any young scientist/engineer/doctor/entrepreneur can realize their potential. What inspires young scientists who have chosen neurotechnologies as a field to reach their potential? What difficulties are they experiencing? How do they see the future of neurotechnologies? Can Russia compete globally in this area? What advice could young scientists give to young scientists who are only now choosing their path in science and technology?Roll up

In recent years, the Russian government has been making concerted efforts to develop and support technological entrepreneurship and create a technology transfer system at universities. In certain segments, we are seeing rapid growth in products and services from new companies, notably in such areas as educational platforms or machine learning for image recognition. But in the deeptech sector, where B2B business models predominate, setting goals and establishing the recipient of innovations, i.e. large companies and corporations, and not only the source of innovation (universities, research centres, small businesses, etc.), are starting to play an important role. As tasks become more complex and/or market competition increases, companies are finding it increasingly difficult to achieve new business goals using old methods, and they are searching for new technological and entrepreneurial solutions that could consistently generate additional revenue. Perhaps R&D and/or innovation departments could become the main driver of new growth. However, this may require companies to restructure their usual activities. On the other hand, universities that rely on the development and commercialization of technologies as an important competitive advantage are starting to build an ecosystem of services for researchers, entrepreneurs, and industrial companies, which will create conditions for the establishment of new businesses and the technological development of existing ones. The counter-movement of universities and real sector companies to obtain real economic effects needs to be intensified and synchronized. What questions will the moderator ask the speakers? What points should be highlighted? What should the main emphasis be?Roll up
