Inventing the Future

The National Centre RUSSIA presents a video playlist from the International Symposium "Inventing the Future" and the Open Lecture Hall "Inventing the Future" — platforms for developing positive scenarios for the future. The events are organised on the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin under the auspices of the Decade of Science and Technology.

The project's mission is to demonstrate, through Russia's example, that the future can only be built on a foundation of unity around shared values, science and culture. The Symposium will bring together participants from dozens of countries, including experts from China, the United States, Italy, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

Leading Russian and international experts discuss trends in the development of public spaces, visual codes and universal human values, and present their visions of the lifestyle and mindset of tomorrow's people. The Open Lecture Hall continues the National Centre RUSSIA's educational project, bringing together key areas of human development — from culture and creativity to science and technology.
