The 6th Congress of Young Scientists will be held from November 25–27, 2026, at the Sirius Federal Park. It is the key annual event of the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia, declared by President Vladimir Putin in 2022. The Congress serves as the largest platform for dialogue between advanced and fundamental science, government, and the real economy, and sets the key vectors for scientific and technological development. One of its key objectives remains the involvement of talented young people, young researchers, and entrepreneurs in the scientific and technological field.
"At a meeting with participants of the 5th Congress of Young Scientists, President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin called this event one of the most authoritative and significant held in our country. Since last year, it has been part of the national project 'Youth and Children.' Indeed, the congress plays a vital role in the scientific life of Russia and even countries around the world, where priorities for scientific and technological development and support measures are discussed. Scientists exchange ideas and find like-minded people. Universities, research organizations, and businesses present cutting-edge developments. Interest in the event grows every year: over the past five years, the number of congress participants has tripled, and the number of countries participating has quadrupled," said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister expressed confidence that the 2026 Congress of Young Scientists will once again be held at a high level and will provide additional impetus to the development of domestic research and development.
"Modern science increasingly determines a country's ability to respond to global challenges and ensure sustainable development. Today, we face an ambitious task: not just to maintain the current momentum, but to ensure qualitative growth in scientific achievements. Supporting young scientists and creating the conditions for realizing their scientific potential remain key priorities of state science policy. The Congress of Young Scientists fully reflects this agenda and creates an environment in which scientific ideas are put into practice," noted Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Head of the Interagency Working Group for the Preparation and Holding of the Congress of Young Scientists and Associated Events.
Following the fifth anniversary Congress of Young Scientists, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the platform facilitates the free exchange of opinions and the development of scientific ties.
In 2025, the Congress brought together more than 8,000 participants from 89 regions of the Russian Federation and 100 foreign countries, demonstrating record international engagement.
The Congress of Young Scientists' scientific and technological agenda successfully combines a variety of formats: from discussions and lectures to scientific battles, master classes, film screenings, and intellectual games, creating a space for expert dialogue among researchers, engineers, technology entrepreneurs, and executives of state corporations and major technology companies.
In 2026, the Congress of Young Scientists will continue to showcase cutting-edge scientific achievements and innovative technologies, including new developments in the space industry, exchange experiences between young researchers, engineers, and technology entrepreneurs, and discuss current challenges and prospects for the development of science and technology in Russia and globally.
The Congress of Young Scientists is organized by the Roscongress Foundation, with the support of the Government, the Ministry of Education and Science, and the Coordinating Council for Youth Affairs in Science and Education of the Presidential Council for Science and Education. The operator of the Decade of Science and Technology is the National Priorities NGO.
