Dear friends! I sincerely wish you good health, good luck, all the best and further creative success for the benefit of our fatherland!

The desire to know the world, natural human curiosity are those features that have driven scientists at all times. Of course, they show up most pronouncly in childhood and adolescene, and just a few audults retain them. These people are the most valuable resource of any country, because only they can invent new technologies, push the boundaries, create our common future. Therefore, it is especially pleasant that this Forum supports young researchers from all corners of the world.

Science by its very nature is an international phenomenon. Its progress is impossible without mutual exchange of ideas and concepts between professionals from different countries. Accordingly, one of the main activities of Rossotrudnichestvo is setting up, supporting and developing of professional links between scientific societies in Russia and foreign countries. I am very glad that the best young minds not only of our country, but also Asia, Africa, America, and Europe have gathered together at the Forum.

I wish everyone to those present (attendees) fruitful work, interesting acquaintances and new ideas!

I am glad to welcome the participants, organizers and guests of the “Step into the Future” International Scientific Youth Forum!

The President of the Russian Federation in his Decree declared the Year of Teacher and Mentor in 2023. It is especially symbolic for us because this year we will celebrate the 200th anniversary from the birthday of Konstantin D. Ushinsky, the outstanding Russian scientist and teacher, and the 80th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Education.

Today, the future of our country, without exaggeration, depends on recognition the importance of teaching as well as the active involvement of young people into science. The fact that activities in these areas are carried out at the top level inspires confidence that our Motherland will continue its progress at a faster pace and be at the forefront of world science.

Such events as the “Step into the Future” Forum give a unique chance to talented schoolchildren and students to meet with scientists and researchers, take part in implementation of scientific and engineering projects, and find support for their own ideas. It is gratifying to know that the Forum's topics are not limited to engineering science because of sections (workshops) arranged on history, archeology, sociology, psychology, Russian language and literature.

I express gratitude to the Bauman Moscow State Technical University and the Russian Youth Polytechnic Society for organizing the Forum, one of the important events in the Decade of Science and Technology in the Russian Federation.

I wish all participants eventful and fruitful work!

On behalf of the Roscosmos State Corporation, I congratulate you on opening the “Step into the Future” International Scientific Youth Forum dedicated to the 135th anniversary from the birthday of A. N. Tupolev - the outstanding Russian aircraft designer. The Forum is a key platform for thousands of schoolchildren and students who are winners of competitions between regional and Russian research projects in the field of natural sciences, engineering, informatics, and environment protection.

High-level leaders of the country have set tremendous tasks for us - development of engineering personnel, technical modernization and improvement of Russian technological competitiveness. Holding the Exhibition and Forum encourages intellectual works in the field of science and technology, strengthens the image and prestige of engineering and technical professions and digital technologies, improves a creative potential of gifted and ambitious representatives of the younger generation.

I am sure that the Forum actively encourages professional self-determination of young people and opens up excellent opportunities for integration into the community of young scientists and engineers in the space sector.

I wish all participants and organizers of the Forum innovative ideas, achievements in breakthrough projects, and new discoveries that will serve for the good of our Motherland!

I am happy to welcome talented young people from all over Russia and their peers from abroad to the “Step into the Future” International Forum!

The “Step into the Future” Forum enjoys high prestige both in Russia and around the world. Its participants are winners of the competitive selection, where more than 15 thousand young researchers and developers were in competition. About one thousand of the best of them received a ticket to the Forum.

The Forum is attended by a special category of young people – they are those who have achieved meaningful scientific and engineering results. Their projects were completed at a real professional level. At the same time, they are still very young people — schoolchildren and students of colleges, technical schools, and elementary courses at universities. I think that it is precisely these young people who will make our future they are creating with their own hands today.

One of the main advantages of the Forum is its unique academic environment. The organizers managed to involve into working with young talents 4 research and development institutions and 13 universities. Members of the Program Committee, Jury and Sections of the Forum are outstanding scientists and highly qualified specialists, who, I believe, will do their best to make the achievements of their young colleagues come true.

I would like to note that the Forum was organized by the Russian Youth Polytechnic Society, which is implementing one of the most effective scientific and educational projects in our country — the “Step into the Future” program. Its holding is supported by the Presidential Grants Fund, state authorities, leading universities and scientific centers in Russia.

I wish all participants of the Forum to speak with dignity, show all strengths of their developments, find new friends and colleagues, get a creative spark to continue their important and necessary work!

Let me address you with words of greeting on behalf of the “Knowledge” Russian Society and from myself personally. The “Step into the Future” International Scientific Youth Forum is a significant event for development of science in our country.

Today is a time of great perils and opportunities. What the world will be like tomorrow depends in many ways on people who expand the horizons of the possible by their efforts, who see creation as the key goal of life. I'm talking about scientists - people who at all times are creators and architects of the future.

I am glad that the Forum has united you - young people who passionate about science. There are many of you, and this suggests that learning new things and sharing knowledge with others is becoming a trend. You have a great potential to be on a par with such famous great scientists as Mikhail Lomonosov, Dmitry Mendeleev, Nikolai Basov, Igor Kurchatov.

In Maxim Gorky’s terms: “Knowledge is the absolute value of our time”. And I urge you to keep inquisitive mind), set out challenging tasks and not be afraid to make mistakes. The Russian “Knowledge” Society on the path of development and education is your reliable partner!

I wish you productive work and good luck!

I am pleased to congratulate you on holding the “Step into the Future” International Scientific Youth Forum dedicated to the 135th anniversary from the birthday of A. N. Tupolev - the outstanding Russian aircraft designer.

The Russian “Step into the Future” scientific and social program for young people and schoolchildren and the Russian Youth Polytechnic Society systematically and consistently develop the scientific potential of Russia. It is the support of young people who are open-minded, ready for new solutions and non-standard ideas, the formation of their scientific basis and motivation that help to ensure current and future discoveries.

More than ever, the society feels the need for fundamentally new solutions, discoveries, and technologies to ensure a good living standard for any citizen (everyone in our country) of our country.

All of you have already proven that you are capable of making, creating, thinking, and dreaming. These are the qualities that an inventor or researcher needs in. I wish you patience, because a discovery is always hard and difficult work.

Trust in yourself, make attempts again and again! Let this Forum give you not only new solutions and ideas, but also a kind surrounding (environment), supportive friends and self-confidence!
