Ideas from around the world: essay originality for the Open Dialogue averages 95%

The review of essays submitted for the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth", which will take place at the National Centre RUSSIA in April, is underway. To date, more than 1,600 essays from 98 countries have been submitted for the competitive selection, and more than 300 works are expected to be included in the final collection. In addition, 75 authors hold academic degrees.

At the preliminary stage, particular attention was given to checking the originality of the essays. With the help of the project’s AI assistant, named Odi, each submission was analysed for textual uniqueness. The results confirmed the high level of the participants’ originality: 80% of the essays demonstrate originality ranging from 91% to 100%. The average level across all texts is about 95%. This indicates that participants in the Open Dialogue are presenting their own ideas and authorial approaches to interpreting global economic processes.

The Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" was first held in April 2025 at the National Centre RUSSIA and has already become part of global history. The event brought together more than 3,000 experts from dozens of countries. By decision of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, the Open Dialogue will now be held annually.

During the first Open Dialogue, 696 submissions from 102 countries were received in 18 languages. The topic "Investments in Human Capital" attracted the greatest interest among authors, with 40% of participants dedicating their essays to this theme.

The results of the first year of work received wide public attention and practical application. The report "Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth", which includes expert analysis and the best essays from participants, was presented at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. In addition, in January 2026, during a satellite event — the January Expert Dialogues — Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia, Maxim Oreshkin, presented a report on the global megatrends of the economy of the future.

The second Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" will take place at the National Centre RUSSIA from 27 to 29 April 2026.
