The Congress`s extensive discussion program features over 150 events, including round tables, sessions, panel discussions, and educational workshops across various scientific research fields. The agenda primarily addresses priorities in scientific and technological development, projects stemming from the Decade of Science and Technology initiatives, and the work of scientific communities. The international track specifically delves into the significance of scientific interaction and the emergence of new scientific and technological leaders in a multipolar world, opportunities for participating in joint international scientific projects, scientific diplomacy, and collaboration within international blocs such as BRICS.

A traditional exhibition of cutting-edge Russian technologies will also be held at the Congress venue. More than 50 leading Russian companies, universities, scientific and educational centers, as well as state and public organizations, will showcase their scientific achievements, innovative developments, and promising startups.
