In order for Russia to develop its scientific and technological potential, people must form their own view and reference point in matters concerning national identity and goal setting, and determine Russia’s place and role in the modern world order, which is increasingly tending towards polycentricity. The Strategy for Russia’s Scientific and Technological Development enshrines the role of scientific diplomacy as a key tool for developing international scientific cooperation and protecting the identity of the Russian scientific sector. The session will bring together leading young scientists from Russia and other countries in order to jointly figure out new approaches to the science of international relations, while overcoming Eurocentrism in the theory of international relations, and also outline specific aspects of joint research in this regard. Different national approaches to the theory of international relations and the practice of teaching it will be compared as part of the discussion, which will ultimately provide a more holistic view of the study of world politics, taking into account the civilizational features of various countries and regions, and bring us closer to establishing a multipolar world order. What does the concept of a multipolar world order mean for today’s young scientists? How is this concept perceived in different countries? What are some of the main aspects of how non-Western countries perceive the scientific understanding of international relations? What kind of threats does neocolonialism pose in terms of its worldview and how can scientists respond to them? How is the modern theory of international relations changing as a multipolar world order emerges? What are the national approaches to the theory of international relations today? What are some of their common and unique features?Roll up

Genetic and breeding technologies ensure that the agribusiness industry can function in a highly efficient manner in a wide variety of agro-climatic conditions and help us preserve our planet’s resources. For Russia, as one of the world’s leading suppliers of agricultural products, the development of its own genetic and breeding technologies is particularly important. Unfortunately, Russian producers remain highly dependent on imported technologies, and in order to develop their own genetics, they need a class of specialists who are motivated to pursue a career in the agribusiness industry and ready to create critical solutions in this area. This problem could be quickly resolved with the help of agricultural universities, and also by establishing seamless interdisciplinary collaboration between research centres, business, and education. What are the prospects for research centres to support the development of domestic genetics? How will cooperation between business and universities help solve the problem of a lack of expertise in breeding and genetics? What is the best way to develop and introduce tools and training programmes in genetics and breeding? How can we attract young people to agricultural genetics and breeding, and retain them in the industry? How does business see its role in the development of agricultural education and training for genetics?Roll up

The environmental and climate changes caused by human activities that we are seeing are global in nature, and many of them are already irreversible. Rising air temperatures, stronger storms and droughts, natural disasters, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, the extinction of plant and animal species, as well as food and water shortages are all some of the main consequences of climate change on the planet. While some scientists are sounding the alarm bell and warning about the dangers of ignoring these problems, others are highly sceptical. Which environmental changes are already irreversible, and which ones are greatly exaggerated? How does climate warming affect not only the Earth’s surface, but also the processes that occur in the Earth’s crust? What should we fear more: global warming or cooling? What are the consequences of slowing ocean currents? How are ecosystems changing today and what is threatening the planet’s biological diversity?Roll up

Achievements in fundamental sciences have provided a powerful impetus for the development of applied scientific research, in particular in advanced biomedical and genetic technologies, as well as molecular biology. Finding a balance between scientific research and the ethical and legal regulation of research activities is an indispensable condition for achieving progress in high-tech scientific fields. Along with progress in key fields of science, the professional community has numerous ethical and legal questions about conducting applied research involving humans and introducing advanced treatment methods in healthcare practice. Ethical reviews of scientific research, as a tool for independent assessment, in this case aims to balance the set of legal norms and ethical principles in order to guarantee the scientific validity, value, and safety of research. Young scientists often have to conduct ethical reviews, but is their level of awareness, experience, and practice in this area of expertise sufficient, and what methodological and educational standards are applicable for the activities of independent ethical committees? The session will feature the launch of the proactive School of Research Ethics non-commercial educational project, which aims to train researchers in the principles of research bioethics, study international standards and rules for protecting the rights of research participants, and develop a high level of research culture.Roll up

The new Concept of Technological Development of the Russian Federation until 2030 views quantum communications and computing as priority cross-cutting technologies. Quantum communications are unique due to the high degree of security of the transmitted information, which is particularly important in the context of cyberattacks and the creation of powerful quantum computers. At present, the quantum communications industry is essentially ready for practical application. The company Innopraktika estimates that the market had expanded by nine times as of the end of 2022 and was worth RUB 2.5 billion. The Inter-University Quantum Network based at Moscow State University’s Quantum Technology Centre is in the process of launching a quantum communications project, which is being implemented with the support of Russian Railways (using Russian Railways backbone networks) and the Russian Ministry of Education and Science (access to the National Research Computer Network for data transmission). This makes it possible to conduct pilot projects to ensure the maximum protection of transmitted information, as well as the further development of quantum technologies. The development of quantum communications will help to create communication lines for the transfer of quantum states and, in doing so, will combine quantum computers with each other and with quantum sensors into a single information and communication infrastructure – the quantum Internet. The evolution of quantum technologies provides unique opportunities for developing the careers of young scientists. Several landmark events in this regard are planned for 2024: Moscow State University’s traditional International Quantum School and a competition of quantum Internet projects. What are the prospects for the development of quantum technologies and the quantum Internet? What opportunities do participation in the quantum school and the quantum internet competition create for young scientists?Roll up
