Major Challenges of the Science and Technology Decade
We have had the Year of Science and Technology. And we can see the results. Over the course of the year, public interest grew. However, the objectives set out for the Decade are broader in scope than just popularizing science. They are to do with fundamental changes which need to radically boost the role of science in national, societal and economic development. Following this logic, the President of Russia has set the goal of ensuring that the scientific sector makes a far greater contribution to improving quality of life over the Decade. It’s an enormous task both in terms of scale and complexity. Not only do we need to develop new knowledge, but transform it into a tangible socioeconomic result needed by our citizens. This is something which we have not always succeeded at here in Russia, but it is something which we must achieve

Russia – Iran
Something which appears very important to me is the fact that specific projects are now off the ground. These are projects which are in our shared interests. They cover agriculture, new materials, and pharmaceuticals. I would like to point out that while being scientific projects, they are also absolutely practical in nature. I think that we will very soon see the emergence of new materials in the fields of crop production and poultry

Russia – Iran
Indeed, relations between our nations are strengthening at a very rapid rate, and what’s crucial here is that people from a vast range of areas are involved. Another crucial thing is that young people are involved too. Iran is a very young country, but possesses an incredibly rich history, and is home to outstanding young specialists

From Knowledge Economy to Talent Economy: New Opportunities
Talent is a multifaceted concept. It is not just a technical thing, not just a purely "knowledge" thing. Talent lies in so many areas. And these talents will really determine our transition to a new society

International Business and Global Values: Risks and Opportunities for Creative Industries in the Next Stage of Development
Today, defining and demonstrating one’s values is a way of self-identifying. People like to highlight the things where they contradict others. Note that there are fundamental discrepancies in the philosophies shared by whole groups of countries. There are countries that conform and agree with each other on everything. They also believe the things they agree on should be made compulsory for everybody. Yet, there are countries that share a different logic. Even if 80% of values are common, they would normally stick out the remaining 20%, which are unique to them

Big Challenges and New Partnerships: How to Unite Science and Society
When the Year of Science began, we asked to conduct a sociological survey. We asked whether people would like for their children to choose a job in science. Most of the respondents want their children to go into science. This was never the case in the Soviet Union or in modern Russia. [...] This means that science is not something strange

Is (Artificial) Intelligence Possible Without Mathematics?
Today, taxis in Moscow, and in St. Petersburg, do not drive without GPS. <…> We should realize another thing: one day it all would shut down.

Is (Artificial) Intelligence Possible Without Mathematics?
We must understand what we mean by artificial intelligence. There is strong artificial intelligence and weak artificial intelligence. The strong AI is something that does not need our full support to develop; that is, we provide some starting points and then the system begins self-improving. The weak AI is something that serves as an extension of a human body, as our tool. <…> If we want to co-exist with this new reality, it is important to understand from the very beginning what rules and what laws will govern this new reality. We need it, so that we do not find ourselves in a complicated situation which will require all our energy and resources to neutralize it. It is an issue of our security

Trialogue of Dialogues: St. Petersburg, Sochi, and Trianon
Interpersonal dialogue – dialogue between people – is today perhaps more significant than at any other time in history. This is also an issue regarding education, of educating people in the broad sense of the word. It is not about getting degrees, but understanding one another better. <...> Cast your minds back to the FIFA World Cup. <...> It was a remarkable event where people saw that what they read did not reflect the actual situation
