The inaugural event of the Russia
National Centre — the International Symposium “Inventing the Future” — will
serve as a unique platform for dialogue between states, where participants will
have the opportunity to discuss current issues and develop strategies for
shaping a shared future.
As of today, representatives from
33 countries have confirmed their participation in the Symposium. Notable
speakers will include Karin Kneissl, former Austrian Foreign Minister; Laxman
Kumar Behera, an expert from India’s Institute for Defence Studies and
Analyses; John Stuart Durrant, Honorary Consul of the Russian Federation in
Canada; Roberto Quaglia, Italian science fiction writer; Goran Petronijevic,
President of the Serbian Center for the Restoration of International Law from
Serbia; and other distinguished guests.
The Symposium brings together
international speakers from nearly every continent, creating an open platform
for sharing experiences and knowledge among representatives of different
cultures and nations.
The international track is a key
aspect of the Symposium, aimed at strengthening international cooperation and
mutual understanding between countries, and providing opportunities to
establish new connections and partnerships.
“Symposium participants
will discuss the global future of international law, the rapidly changing role
of international organizations in regulating global politics, and the
interaction of Global South countries with the major economies of the North.
Panel discussions will focus on the prospects for peaceful coexistence between
nations of the planet, from the perspective of building a multipolar and fair
world order. In addition, speakers will address the development of breakthrough
digital technologies in international law, and other important topics in
contemporary international relations,” says Tatiana
Kareva, head of the Department of International Cooperation of the ANO
“Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements ‘Russia’.”
On July 1, 2024, President
Vladimir Putin signed an order establishing the Russia National Centre to
preserve the legacy of the International Exhibition and Forum “Russia” and to
showcase the country’s achievements on a permanent basis.
The International Symposium “Inventing the Future” will
be held on November 4-6 at the Russia National Centre. The event will bring
together distinguished scientists and researchers, futurists and forecasters,
fiction authors, as well as government representatives.
The opening of the Symposium will coincide with the
launch of an exhibition supporting the idea of a dialog on the future of the
human-centered world. The exhibition will allow each visitor to realize the
importance of personal contribution to the future and inspire a desire to be
part of its creation.
