About the Forum "Strong Ideas for New Times"
The Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Roskongress Foundation invite international experts to collaborate within the platform and the Federal Forum "Strong Ideas for the New Time".
The crisis the world faced in 2020 is unprecedented for the entire world community. However, the current reality is not only a test, but also an opportunity for the entire world community to look together for answers to common, long-term challenges, to form collaborations and learn from each other, thus making a common contribution to a better future for all humanity.
All countries of the world need Strong Ideas to move to a "new normal", to restart the economy and enter the trajectory of sustainable growth. The Agency for Strategic Initiatives and Roskongress Foundation proposed to seek and develop Strong Ideas for Russia, which would define the country's development strategy in the new environment, involving a wide range of stakeholders - business and political community, expert and scientific community, civil society representatives and individual project leaders. The outcome of this public coalition's teamwork will be the Forum "Strong Ideas for a New Time", which will be held in the fall of 2020 with the participation of the Russian Federation's top leaders.
Any registered user of the Forum's crowd platform can present their ideas on sustainable development of Russia in the new economic conditions. All incoming ideas will be evaluated by experts and will pass through public voting. Authors of the top 100 best ideas and projects will have an opportunity to present them to the country's leadership, federal and international experts during the face-to-face part of the Forum.
In the spirit of partnership and openness, the Forum organizers invite interested international experts to assess and develop the ideas received in seven thematic areas, including:
- Modern economic policy;
- New social policy;
- New technology policy;
- New competences;
- New urban policy;
- New ideas for business;
- New youth agenda.
