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

Since 2018, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation has been implementing a project to create new youth scientific laboratories as part of the ‘Science and Universities’ national project. To date, 740 such laboratories have already been set up at scientific organizations and universities, and by 2024 the number of youth laboratories will increase to 900. The laboratories conduct research in such scientific fields as: microelectronics, new medicine, new energy, agricultural sciences, climate, artificial intelligence, and environmental management. The creation of new youth laboratories has been a success: academic institutes and universities have a great need for them as an opportunity to share the experience they have accumulated and get young scientists, university graduates, and students in their final year of studies involved in scientific work, while the regions view them as a real opportunity to influence the scientific and technological agenda and utilize the potential of federal institutions and universities to solve problems facing the regional economies. The session will serve as a discussion platform about the role and importance of youth laboratories as a tool for supporting young scientists.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

How often do scientists have to take part in recording a story or talk about their developments during a press tour instead of writing a scientific article or conducting an experiment? It seems like it takes a lot of time and is not particularly significant. But is that true? One of the key objectives of the Decade of Science and Technology is to change people’s attitudes about the achievements and prospects of Russian science and ensure that they know about the latest domestic developments, trust scientists, and are interested in new research. This enhances the importance of scientists and alters their role. During the discussion, leading journalists, teachers, and press service employees will explain how to become the central figure of a story on television or an Internet show, what advantages and bonuses scientists get from publications about their developments in the media, what scientific communications are, and how they enable scientists to promote their projects by creating opportunities for cooperation with business and development institutions. What are the key media trends in science communication today? How has the role of the scientist changed as scientific knowledge becomes more popular? What tools exist for promoting research and development, and which of them are the most relevant and in demand? Would it be effective to create brand media for a scientific institute, university, or technology company? How are the projects of the Decade of Science and Technology helping scientists advance their research?Roll up

School education is a fundamental stage in the formation of human capital: knowledge acquired at school plays an important role in people’s further ability to tap into their professional potential and shape their personal well-being and the well-being of society as a whole. Obviously, additional education, clubs, children’s participation in project activities, extracurricular activities, and the atmosphere in the family also play a significant role in the development of schoolchildren and the shaping of their personality. What tools can motivate children to study subjects in depth and help schoolchildren learn about popular areas of science and technology? What are some of the successful cases in the development and popularization of educational initiatives? How can Russia’s human resources potential be developed starting from school? What improvements can be made to the social and educational environment at school? How can schoolchildren be motivated to study in depth the subjects that are essential to realizing their potential? How can we help schoolchildren learn about modern technologies and in-demand fields of science and technology? What initiatives help promote science and technology among children? Why is it important to focus on teacher retraining? How do universities start working with young people who just completed school?

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

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

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
