"Your forum, which began two decades ago at Lomonosov Moscow State University, is now rightfully considered one of the most vibrant and sought-after projects in the field of education and popularization of science and scientific and technical thought. Every year, it brings together renowned scientists and experts, teachers and mentors, students and pupils at its venues in universities, schools, museums, and libraries, and fosters interest among young people in innovative developments in various fields of knowledge, as well as in fundamental and applied research," the President noted.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko also sent a greeting to the participants.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this is the world's largest social project in the field of popularizing science and one of the key events of the Decade of Science and Technology, declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This year marks the festival's 20th anniversary. It was first held at Moscow State University in 2006 at the initiative of Rector Viktor Sadovnichy and continues to uphold its traditions of openness and commitment to scientific knowledge.
"As our President Vladimir Putin said, 'Russia must be competitive in key areas of technological development. To achieve this, we need specialists capable of generating unique solutions.' The festival makes a significant contribution to the advancement of Russian science and the involvement of young people in research. Over the years, its total audience has reached approximately 100 million people," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
This year's festival's main theme is "Your Quantum Universe." It will offer a new perspective on the fundamental laws of the universe, the nature of matter, and the behavior of particles.
