In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the Russian audience’s demand for entertaining popular science content. However, an audience survey showed that viewers most often associate popular science cinema with education, calling it “boring” and “serious”, or with individual channels (like Science 2.0). According to the survey, people do not feel that the popular science content that is currently being produced is high-quality, entertaining cinema that one would go to the theatre to see. This is attributable to the fact that young directors do not always know how to make scientific films, much less make them genre-specific and interesting to a mass audience. The Scientific Film Laboratory 2.0 has set the goal of changing this perception and developed a production methodology to turn dry scientific research into an emotional scientific film. Using this methodology, young directors have made short films with scientists from Skoltech and the Faculty of Chemistry of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The participants will present the actual films and methodology in a showcase format. The format is open to a wide audience: young scientists, directors, and viewers who are interested in scientific cinema.Roll up

The human brain conceals numerous secrets and is the least understood organ in our body. The parallel operation of tens of billions of neurons and trillions of synapses makes it impossible to create a model of how this organ functions that is even close to reality, and this greatly limits the capabilities of scientists. However, the development of modern technologies across physics, chemistry, microelectronics, and genetics is opening up new horizons for brain research. Scientists are now pinning their main hopes on interdisciplinary research in order to broaden their understanding of how the nervous system functions and apply this knowledge to the medicine of the future. What brain research technologies are believed to be the most promising today? How can modern methods be used to treat dangerous diseases of the nervous system and correct its irregularities? Is it possible to modify the brain and create Human 2.0?Roll up

Combining science, art, and technology creates new narratives and focuses for the development of creative industries. Virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and other modern technologies are increasingly influencing the art world by offering new ways to interact with works of art and expanding the possibilities of the creative process. However, digital technologies in art are both a source of new opportunities and new challenges. On the one hand, combining science and art opens up new horizons for research and creativity. On the other hand, the emergence of new technologies raises concerns about the loss of uniqueness and individuality of the creative process. Some experts believe that art should remain a man-made manifestation of the human soul, and not simply be a mechanical implementation of programme algorithms. The jury is still out on whether virtual reality or computer graphics art has emotional depth and reference. How has the art market changed since the advent of artificial intelligence? To what extent can technology replace or complement the role of the artist? What creative technologies are trending now? What platforms exist to bring representatives of the scientific community and creative industries together? What opportunities are there at the intersection of science and art for creating innovative projects?Roll up

One of the world’s strongest schools of scientific cinema was lost during perestroika. Scientific cinema is now once again evolving and gaining popularity. Given its long absence from the screens, it has ceased to be perceived as a separate type of cinema with its own specifics and genre. Today, viewers feel that scientific cinema is like a lecture or documentary about a scientific topic. How can we restore viewers’ interest in scientific cinema and properly present it to an audience so that it is different – dramatic, comedic, detective-like, emotional, and exciting? How can we teach directors to work with scientific cinema, using the entire arsenal of expressive means of cinema? How can we attract audiences to scientific cinema? What tools and opportunities are available for this?Roll up

Russian science is the successor of Soviet science. It is powerful and deeply involved in the country’s technological development. The Soviet experience of the state-run organization, management, and support of scientific research is controversial, but despite all the ambiguity of the different assessments, experts agree that during the Soviet period the country managed to create a scientific industry that was able to respond to the technological challenges of the 20th century and function effectively for a long time in a competitive environment. The scientific discussion will address a number of significant questions: to what extent did the special nature of the Soviet state influence the content and focus of scientific policy, as well as the specific aspects of how science actually functioned and developed? Was the Soviet model of managing science in its various institutional sectors effective or successful? Which decisions and practices were effective and which ones had a distorting effect? In what areas were government decisions on the management of scientific research ahead of their time and in what areas were they lagging behind?Roll up

During the Year of the Teacher and Mentor, Russia has begun supporting science centres – institutions that aim to study, develop, and promote the history of science and technology based on experience and the involvement of young people in these activities. This issue is consistent with Russia’s national development goals for the period until 2030 in terms of creating opportunities for self-realization and the development of talent. The goals and objectives facing science centres cannot be achieved without integration with the educational process, including adjustments to curricula, the emergence of new disciplines, as well as the development of disciplines related to the philosophy, methodology, and history of science. The activities of science centres should produce the following key effects: the involvement of students in research activities; greater interest in the history of the country, universities, and different scientific fields; the creation and development of a methodology for working with archival data; and the popularization and glorification of the names of scientists and teachers. What kind of work is being done with archival data and different types of sources, and what are some of the specific issues associated with working with archived scientific and technical documentation? What methods exist for storing and representing data? How can we identify the processes of scientific organization based on digitized data? Will science centres be able to ensure continuity in science across generations? What is the best way to get young people involved in working with archival data? How do we digitize data, where do we store it, and how should it be represented? How can we make names in science recognizable?Roll up
