The Frontiers of Science Guild and the Gutenberg Science Talks scientific and educational project will revive civil science in Russia

The co-founder of the Frontiers of Science Scientific and Technological Guild is among the priority areas of work Ilya Chekh highlights media and educational projects. The Guild will promote science and technology in order to ensure the growing prestige of scientific and fundamental technological areas. The Guild plans to involve non-professionals in the role of enthusiasts and volunteers in scientific research and to help scientists in data collection and analysis. The working title of the large—scale project is "Civil Science".

 

This is necessary for the development of human potential, including for the space industry: in 10 years, schoolchildren will be able to choose space as a development area, students will already be able to develop technologies for space stations, entrepreneurs and top managers of corporations will invest in fundamental scientific research and commercialization of developments. At the same time, current scientists will receive a tool to improve the efficiency of working with both routine and creative tasks.

 

The scientific and educational project "Gutenberg Science Talks" will help to involve the general public in scientific projects of the Guild in various formats . Popular science articles, lectures, podcasts and other materials are published on the channels of one of the oldest popular science projects in Russia. Dialogues with experts from various industries, scientists, and science popularizers allow us to uncover topics from neuroscience to space exploration, from artificial intelligence to thermonuclear fusion. Roman Pereborshchikov, the head of the Gutenberg Science Talks, is convinced that education should contribute to the development of science and civil society institutions in Russia.

 

The goals of the organizations are organically combined: the Frontiers of Science Guild needs to develop human potential and involve society in scientific projects, and the Gutenberg Science Talks has been actively promoting science and technology for many years. For the Guild , the multi-format project will become a platform for involving the general public in the topics of scientific and technological achievements in the space industry. "Gutenberg Science Talks, in turn, will receive funding, media and administrative support from the Guild, which will not only strengthen the work of the project for the benefit of science in Russia, but also significantly scale the results.

 

"The Frontiers of Science Guild and the Gutenberg Science Talks project will launch a new strategic model for working with popular science. Our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to contribute to fundamental science and the development of technologies related to space exploration, other planets, as well as trips to other stars in the future," said Ilya Chekh.

 

"Russia occupies one of the leading places in the world in terms of the development of scientific education, but we have serious work to do to make the popularization of science from intellectual leisure an effective career guidance tool for new generations of researchers and scientists. This is our task," Roman Pereborshchikov said.
