Where will the Science Festival take place? Lecture program. Ancient people will appear at Moscow State University

The VII All-Russian Science Festival NAUKA 0+ opened on October 6, 2017 in Moscow, TASS reports.

The festival will take place over three days in Moscow and at four regional venues in Samara, Salekhard, Krasnoyarsk and Vladivostok. The theme of this year's festival is big data.

Visitors can expect speeches from leading scientists and Nobel laureates, interactive exhibitions, teleconferences with the International space station(ISS) and the Antarctic scientific station "Vostok".

Who to listen to

The All-Russian Science Festival is, first of all, an opportunity to listen to technological and scientific gurus.

So, on Saturday at 12.00, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak will give a lecture on big data, artificial intelligence and professions of the future. The lecture in the main building of Moscow State University is expected to be sold out, but it will be broadcast in additional classrooms, so there will be room.

On the same day, cosmonaut pilot and scientific director of the Faculty of Space Research of Moscow State University Vladimir Solovyov will talk about the work of the new faculty of the university, and the dean of the Faculty of Economics Alexander Auzan will explain how economics influences culture and vice versa. Fyodor Uspensky, Deputy Director of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will tell you how many names you would have had if you lived in medieval Rus'.

On Sunday, 2011 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry Dan Shechtman will talk about quasiperiodic crystals, and the director of the largest synchrotron, Diamond Light Source, Andrew Harrison, will give a lecture on why synchrotrons are needed and how they “help rediscover our cultural heritage”, and the director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, Roman Vilfand, will explain how weather forecasts are made (you can ask him whether the coming winter will be cold).

As part of the festival, the world premiere of the VR film “Sungir” will take place about the largest Paleolithic site of ancient man in Europe in the Vladimir region and the first Homo sapiens in Europe.

The film will be shown on Friday evening, at the opening ceremony of the festival, and then its materials will be available at the thematic site.

On Saturday, festival visitors will see the now traditional teleconference with the International Space Station: Sergei Ryazansky, who is on board the ISS, will answer questions about what it’s like to be an astronaut.

And on Sunday afternoon, there, in the Shuvalov building of Moscow State University, there will be teleconferences with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Antarctic station.

On Saturday and Sunday evenings, Dr. Hal's science show will be held in the auditorium of the Fundamental Library. If you are a child preschool age or the parent of such a child and like to “cheat”, then this show is for you. In addition, for all three days of the festival, a dome cinema will open in front of the Fundamental Library of Moscow State University, in which viewers will be able to learn about the evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang to the present day and much more.

Where to go for a walk

If you are a fan of leisurely strolling and gawking at something interesting, the festival program will include several exhibitions for you.

The exhibition at the Expo Center will, for example, feature areas with dinosaurs from the Amur region, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and weather stations. In addition, there you can literally touch the collection of the Vernadsky Geological Museum and learn how to make a kaleidoscope.

IN Fundamental Library At Moscow State University, for example, you can look at the television studio of the Higher School of Television or see how pollen is studied in the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University, and in the Shuvalov building you can look at modern forensic equipment and figure out what the soil is made of.

What else

In parallel with the main venues at Moscow State University, popular science fun will unfold at the faculties. On Saturday, the Faculty of Fundamental Medicine invites you to take a look at a lie detector, and the Faculty of Economics will tell you how to become a famous scientist.

On Saturday, the Faculty of Biology will treat those who came to the lecture to apples grown in the Botanical Garden of the university, and the Institute of Asian and African Countries will teach Japanese calligraphy and the Persian language.

From October 6 to October 8, 2017, the NAUKA 0+ Science Festival will be held in Moscow. Central venues of the Festival: Intellectual Center - Fundamental Library and Shuvalovsky Building of Moscow State University, Expocentre Fairgrounds on Krasnaya Presnya.

The first Science Festival in Russia was held in 2006 at Moscow University on the initiative of the Rector of Moscow State University, Academician V.A. Sadovnichigo. Since 2007, the Science Festival has become a citywide event, and in 2011 it received All-Russian status. The purpose of the event is to popularize science and involve talented youth in it. The task is to tell the public what scientists do, how scientific research improves the quality of life, and what prospects it opens up. The constant motto of the Festival is “Make your discovery!”

The main theme of the Science Festival NAUKA 0+ 2017 is big data. This topic unites biology, criminology, ecology, marketing, medicine - it is now difficult to find an area of knowledge in which specialists do not work with big data. What they are and how they change our lives can be figured out at the Science Festival events.

The motto of the Festival remains unchanged - “Make your discovery!” The Science Festival is designed to involve children in innovative activities from an early age, to make them feel like engineers, inventors, and to instill in them an interest and love for science, writes the Rosregistr portal. The NAUKA 0+ festival demonstrates the latest scientific and technical achievements and proves the need for implementation scientific knowledge V modern life people for the economic and cultural uplift of society. In addition, it is a business platform for effective interaction between science, society and business.

The Science Festival is organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation with the support of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov and the Moscow government. The program includes speeches by leading scientists and Nobel laureates, interactive exhibitions, the premiere of the VR film “Sungir” about the first Homo sapiens in Europe, television bridges with the ISS and the Antarctic scientific station. Admission to all events is free.

Ancient people will appear at Moscow State University

At Moscow State University, at the All-Russian science festival NAUKA0+, a new reconstruction of the appearance of Homo sapiens, who lived 30 thousand years ago, will be presented for the first time. The virtual animation was created by the Visual Science studio and the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The ancient people whose appearance was reconstructed lived in Sungir - the northernmost Paleolithic settlement of the first modern people in Europe. Its inhabitants are considered the ancestors of Eastern and Northern Europeans. Excavations of the ancient site began in 1965. More than 80 thousand cultural and everyday objects, including jewelry, were found at the site of the camp.

The visualization was based on the skulls of two children, 10 and 13 years old, found in a burial in Sungir, and previous reconstructions of the appearance of people from the settlement. Computer simulations were carried out using modern technologies reconstruction of faces, as well as based on laser scanning data and high-precision photography of skulls from burials.
