The message reads, in part:
“Your festival is rightfully considered one of the most brilliant and popular humanitarian projects in our country. For many years now, it has been fulfilling an important and noble mission to promote scientific knowledge and create a space for meaningful discussions about the advanced achievements of leading domestic and foreign scientists.
As always, the festival programme is rich and diverse. Participants will enjoy exhibitions, lectures, creative contests, workshops, open days and film screenings. With the help of the latest information and communication technologies, the festival’s interactive space will be accessible to a huge audience both in Russia and abroad. Also, our partners and colleagues from the People's Republic of China will join this year’s forum.
I am confident that the festival will be held at a high organisational level, become one of the key events of the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia, and help attract talented young people to fundamental scientific and applied research and development.”
