The Roscongress Foundation is a socially oriented non-financial development institution and a major organizer of nationwide and international conventions; exhibitions; and business, public, youth, sporting, and cultural events. It was established in pursuance of a decision by the President of the Russian Federation.

The Foundation was established in 2007 with the aim of facilitating the development of Russia’s economic potential, promoting its national interests, and strengthening the country’s image. One of the roles of the Foundation is to comprehensively evaluate, analyse, and cover issues on the Russian and global economic agendas. It also offers administrative services, provides promotional support for business projects and attracting investment, helps foster social entrepreneurship and charitable initiatives.

Each year, the Foundation’s events draw participants from 208 countries and territories, with more than 15,000 media representatives working on-site at Roscongress’ various venues. The Foundation benefits from analytical and professional expertise provided by 5,000 people working in Russia and abroad.

The Foundation works alongside various UN departments and other international organizations, and is building multi-format cooperation with 180 economic partners, including industrialists’ and entrepreneurs’ unions, financial, trade, and business associations from 81 countries worldwide, and 186 Russian public organizations, federal and legislative agencies, and federal subjects.

New Approaches to Governance, Research and Protection of the World Ocean
6 June 2019
09:00—10:15

An international programme is currently being prepared for the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) supported by the United Nations and UNESCO. UNESCO estimates that meeting the needs of nearly 3 billion people worldwide depends today on marine and coastal biodiversity. The ocean absorbs about a third of the carbon dioxide produced by humans, mitigating the negative impacts of climate change. Yet science has not yet been able to fully assess the cumulative impact of human activities on the ocean, including how pollution is threatening this natural environment. Numerous ocean-related factors have a major impact on a wide range of critical issues, such as climate change, improving people’s lives, and geopolitical challenges. In order to address them, international coordination and partnership aimed at strengthening World Ocean research must be improved, as must the exchange of state-of-the-art technologies. Can the World Ocean be managed on a global level in present-day conditions? What focuses will drive the economic development of the World Ocean in the future? Science or politics: how can we implement international ocean research and conservation projects?
