From January 29 to 30, 2026, the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation invites you to participate in the annual International Scientific and Methodological Conference dedicated to pressing issues in the development of the Russian education system: "Foresight in Education: The University of the Future."
Over the next decade, the education sector is expected to undergo unprecedented changes driven not only by advancements in digital technologies and artificial intelligence but also by the implementation of priority national projects. Educational organizations play a crucial role in shaping a new independent economy for Russia.
What should a university be today to meet these challenges? How can we harmonize labor market demands with the capabilities of universities? How do we cultivate leaders and innovators for the country’s technological development? These are the key questions we plan to discuss.
As usual, we invite representatives of ministries and agencies of the Russian Federation, university leaders, leading international and national experts in education, faculty of educational organizations and research institutes, representatives of professional employer associations, and major Russian companies to participate.
Total number of participants – 2000 people.
Conference program:
January 29, 10:00-12:00: Plenary session "Education 4.0: Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow."
January 29–30: Over 40 expert sessions, thematic discussions, and open meetings.
