On the first day of the activities of the National Centre RUSSIA within the framework of the International Symposium "Inventing the Future," a panel discussion, "Studying the Future," will take place. Representatives from different countries, fields, and modern research schools will gather to present the results of their latest projects and discuss their prospects. 

Experts from Russia and Symposium participant countries will discuss the effects of multipolarity and other global megatrends, as well as universal and unique challenges facing the Global North and Global South, and the future of technology. 

They will also debate the fate of human-centric values in the tech world and explore who will shape the future — opening new horizons in science and new chapters in the history of a multipolar world. 

The panelists will answer questions about how the world, society, and research are changing, what trends shape the vision of the future, and how the methods of studying the future might evolve. 

The panel discussion will be moderated by Valery Fedorov, General Director of VCIOM. Invited speakers include Alexander Sokolov, Director of the Foresight Centre and Deputy Director of the Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge at the Higher School of Economics; Vladimir Pantin, Head of the Sector for Political Change Analysis and Identity of the Centre for Comparative Social, Economic, and Political Studies at IMEMO RAS; Alexander Chulok, Director of the Centre for Science and Technology Foresight at ISSEK HSE; Igor Zadorin, organizer and head of the CIRCON Research Group; independent demographer Alexey Raksha; Mikhail Emelyanov, Head of the Go and Strategy Centre; Chilean journalist and futurist Johann Wegmann Peña; Yunus Bennani, President of the Casablanca Institute for Social and Media Research; and Spanish futurist and engineer José Cordeiro

On July 1, 2024, President Vladimir Putin signed an order to establish the National Centre RUSSIA to preserve the legacy of the RUSSIA EXPO and showcase the country's achievements on a permanent basis. 

From November 4 to 6, the National Centre RUSSIA will host the International Symposium "Inventing the Future." The participants will include scientists and researchers, futurologists and forecasters, science fiction writers, and representatives of the authorities. 

The Symposium will become a unique international platform for open dialog, where the scenarios of human development and global challenges of our time will be discussed. The program includes more than 60 events in four areas: the future of human, the future of technology, the future of the multipolar world and the future of civilizations. 

The event will be attended by scientists, futurologists, government and business representatives from more than 40 countries, including Austria, Argentina, India, China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others. 

The Symposium program is published on the website https://future.russia.ru/. Broadcasts of the events will also be available there during the days of the Symposium. 

As part of the opening of the Symposium, an exposition will be launched that will support the idea of a human-centric dialogue about the future of the world. The exposition will allow each visitor to realize the importance of personal contribution to the future.
