The V Congress of Young Scientists will bring together young representatives of the scientific community, business leaders, representatives of government and public organizations from all over the country.

"Over the past five years, the Congress of Young Scientists has firmly established itself as a leading platform for discussing a wide range of issues related to the development of science and demonstrating its achievements. To develop effective measures to support science, it is necessary to have a constant dialogue between the scientific community and the government and business, and the Congress provides an opportunity to hear young scientists and their opinions on the development of science, as well as to understand the needs of the government and business in research and scientific personnel, to form a request for the education system, to identify support measures for different areas of science," – Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, head of the interdepartmental working group on the preparation and holding of the Congress of Young Scientists and satellite events, said.

The Congress program will focus on the topics of scientific and technological development and the role of science in implementing the priorities of Russia's Scientific and Technological Development Strategy, updated in 2024.

"The Congress of Young Scientists is a key event of the Decade of Science and Technology, a catalyst for new projects. A unique platform where researchers, engineers, technology entrepreneurs, heads of state corporations and large technology companies meet. The agenda includes topical issues defined by the Strategy of Scientific and Technological Development of Russia: interaction with a qualified customer, development of the instrument base, launch of new programs and projects," said Denis Sekirinsky, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Secretary of the Coordinating Committee for the Decade of Science and Technology in the Russian Federation.

It is planned to further expand the exhibition of modern Russian technologies at the Congress site, involving a wide pool of scientific and industrial partners to showcase the landscape of scientific and technological achievements from across the country.

"We are doing a lot of content work to prepare the Congress of Young Scientists: we collect and promote success stories of modern heroes of Russian science, talk about breakthrough developments and achievements, and launch sociological research. A media studio will be organized at the site of the V Congress, where scientists will present their research, technology leaders will talk about the mechanisms for introducing developments into production, heads of companies and scientific organizations will talk about support measures," added Sofia Malyavina, CEO of ANO National Priorities.

The Congress will also include events in the context of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, dedicated to the preservation of the historical scientific heritage of the war years, as well as the feat of scientists and teachers during the war. In particular, Sirius University of Science and Technology will present the results of work on the organization of a program of higher and additional professional education in historical memory, implemented at the university as part of the education development strategy until 2036 with a view to 2040.

On the eve of the Congress, satellite events will be held in the regions of Russia - this year they will be held by the Krasnodar Territory, Tula and Sakhalin regions. Satellite events are held annually in order to involve the Russian scientific community in solving the most important tasks of the country's regions. In 2022-2024, 15 satellite events took place, and their results are already being used in practice, from avalanche monitoring systems to tsunami forecasting technologies.

The Congress of Young Scientists is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation and the Coordinating Council for Youth in Science and Education of the Presidential Council for Science and Education.
