International Symposium ‘Creating the Future’ Brings Global Experts to Discuss Humanity’s Path Forward

The International Symposium ‘Creating the Future’ is set to take place from November 4 to 6 at the National Center “Russia.” The event will bring together scientists, researchers, futurists, forecasters, science fiction writers, and government officials, providing a global platform for open discussions on future scenarios for humanity and addressing contemporary global challenges. The symposium’s agenda includes over 60 events spanning four core themes: the Future of Humanity, the Future of Technology, the Future of a Multipolar World, and the Future of Civilization.

Representatives from over 40 nations, such as Austria, Argentina, India, China, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, will participate. A full program schedule is accessible on the symposium’s website at future.russia.ru, where live streams of the events will also be available.

The symposium will open with an exhibition centered on a dialogue about humanity’s future, emphasizing the human experience and encouraging attendees to consider their personal contributions to the future.

A host of distinguished attendees, including scholars, philosophers, futurists, science fiction writers, business leaders, and creative industry professionals from Russia, China, India, Italy, Iran, the UAE, Kazakhstan, Serbia, France, and the United States, have confirmed their participation. The symposium is expected to gather around 3,000 attendees from the SCO, BRICS, CIS, and other regions to examine the future of the planet, the impact of technology on society, humanity’s evolving role in civilization, and the overarching concept of what form humanity’s future might take.

Tatiana Kareva, Head of the International Cooperation Department at the National Center “Russia,” underscored the importance of the symposium as a space for dialogue among scientists, artists, business figures, and government officials. Kareva expressed pride in the widespread international interest in this inaugural event, noting that over 87 countries have expressed a desire to engage in this collective initiative to shape the future.

International participants have already begun arriving in Moscow, including Brazilian artists Rafael Btesh and Monica Da Silva De Queiroz, along with Agengue Adane Dilnesahu and Usman Hassan Mohammed, the director and deputy director of Addis Ababa University’s School of Fine Arts and Design. Special sightseeing tours of Moscow have been arranged for these early arrivals.

Several attendees shared their expectations for the symposium. Serbian investigative journalist Vesna Veizovic expressed hope that the event would foster rich exchanges on developing a society capable of facing contemporary challenges while retaining traditional values. Meanwhile, John Molera, Director of Policy and Research at DD Geopolitics from the United States, said he was looking forward to drawing inspiration from global perspectives that envision a future beyond Western neoliberalism, seeking to build a movement grounded in mutual respect, tradition, and cooperation.
