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

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
