Numerous countries make scientific advances through universities. In the USSR and Russia, this role has been performed by the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), with its powerful laboratories for fundamental research and industry-specific institutes. In the 21st century, universities have actively stepped up their scientific efforts, and today in Russia, the research conducted by universities and RAS institutes is considered comparable. However, there are fundamental differences in the systems for training young scientists at RAS institutes and universities. There are some prominent examples of competition and collaboration between scientific schools at the RAS and universities. What are some of the key aspects of these systems? How can we identify commonalities and differences? What opportunities are there for self-realization in university research and at RAS institutes? How can young scientists ensure that their research is practically applied in the absence of industry-specific institutes? How do universities and the RAS assist in this regard? What tools exist for the collective development of Russian research?Roll up

The implementation of Russia’s Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development is contingent on the consolidation of efforts undertaken by the country’s federal and regional government bodies, as well as other stakeholders. To this end, the scientific and technological development of the regions and their integration into the federal scientific and technological agenda is a particularly important issue today, given the significant role that science and education play in the socioeconomic development of the regions. However, the mechanisms used for such integration are mostly ad-hoc or highly targeted in nature. One of the most promising tools for getting the regions more involved could be direct public procurements of scientific research and development at the federal level. Such interaction between the federal government and the regions could be systemic and provide a model for federal and regional science based on demands at the local level. This event will feature a discussion with representatives of the regional authorities and other organizations about the prospects for the regions’ systemic involvement in direct state procurements by serving as regular customers.Roll up

Artificial intelligence is improving every day, permeating all aspects of our lives, and is no longer just a tool, but a true driver of management and technological processes. However, humans remain responsible for decisions made using artificial intelligence, so procedures need to be established for monitoring and verifying the actions of AI in a wide range of sectors, primarily public administration, science, and technology, both civilian and military. We now have developments that are not only used for dual purposes, but even for triple purposes. And they need to be introduced into our lives on a daily basis, starting today. At present, the biggest need in science, technology, and management is to emphasize the substantive challenges of cooperation, the commercialization of developments in dual-use technologies, and public-private partnerships in national security. The widespread use of generative AI in the economy could significantly reduce demand for personnel in numerous sectors of the Russian economy. There are many examples of this right now: from unmanned aerial vehicles penetrating a wide range of sectors to the use of AI in construction, agriculture, housing, and utilities. What promising new forms of funding for AI research projects could emerge in the near future? Do universities and research institutions understand the real needs of their customers? How is mobilizing science evolving? Which new forms of funding for AI and dual-use technology research projects are the most promising?

We are used to talking about AI as a tool. Over the past year, systems with advanced reasoning capabilities, autonomous AI agents, and multimodal assistants have shown us it can do much more than that: they can build chains of thought, initiate actions, adapt operating rules, and interact with each other outside of direct human control. The educational environment is one of the first places where this transformation has become tangible. Neuro-assistants are no longer passive helpers; they are becoming co-authors of studies, offering interpretations, and correcting the logic of argumentation. This raises a fundamental question: if AI is serving as an agent, how does this reconfigure the ‘teacher–student–knowledge’ triad? Where is the boundary between instrument and subject? What is the nature of this new subjectivity? How should the functional model of researchers and teachers change when part of an intellectual activity is delegated to an AI agent? Are we on the cusp of Artificial General Intelligence or are we already living in its shadow? What competencies will remain exclusively human ones? How can we preserve the idea of learning by overcoming challenges if there is no longer a need to master specific skills?Roll up
