Siberian Federal University will host the NAUKA 0+ Festival in Krasnoyarsk on 24 and 25 November 2022. This large-scale educational project aims to popularize science and is one of the key events within the announced Decade of Science and Technology in Russia. At a preliminary press conference, the organizers revealed the details of the upcoming science festival.
This year festival’s theme is Creating the Future. Now we do not merely study the world around us, but can also create the future ourselves. How? — visitors will learn during popular science lectures, interactive exhibitions, virtual laboratories, science films.
“SibFU has been a partner of the festival since 2015, during which time the number of participants in thematic events has grown from 10 to 75 thousand people. Every year the festival presents a new theme which reflects the trends and topical issues of science. The festival will be of interest not only to schoolchildren, but also to scientific organizations, as they will get acquainted with young people who will come to them as colleagues and employees after some time,” said Maksim Rumiantsev, rector of SibFU.

Also, students of schools will have the opportunity to visit the Resource Centre of the Polytechnic School and take part in engineering master classes.
“The festival has passed through all regions of the country, and Krasnoyarsk Territory is hosting its grand finale of this year. I would like to note that on the initiative of the President of Russia, the events of the Decade of Science and Technology were launched, and its goals intersect with the objectives of the festival — popularization of science and involvement of the broadest masses in it. The regional site of Krasnoyarsk reveals these nuances very well, using theoretical and practical elements,” says Leonid Gusev, head of the Directorate of the NAUKA 0+ Festival, vice-rector of Moscow State University.
