8.B1. Round Table. Prospects for Technological Transformation of the Economy and Society: TRENDS 2.0 Project Outcomes

Organizers : Institute of Contemporary Development, Knowledge Reactor Project Group, supported by the Department for Strategic Development and Innovation at the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation

Currently, various national strategies are being developed in Russia: AI Development Strategy, Microelectronics Development Strategy, Digital Economy Development Strategy, etc. These strategies must meet the requirements of the Federal Law № 172-FZ “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation”, i.e. contain a long-term economic forecast using PEST / World – Country – Region analyses.
The National Technological Initiative includes the establishment and maintenance of forecasting centers in the cities and regions of Russia to align strategies of different levels. Such centers are composed of multidisciplinary teams on the basis of higher education institutions involving government officials, talented youth and the growing number of digital engineers of the sixth technological paradigm. Establishing such centers in Moscow (including the Moscow region), Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk and St. Petersburg is a bold move to integrate forecasting into education and research.
The Presidential Grant “Creating and Testing a Pilot Forecasting Course TRENDS 2.0” was an open full-time and distant educational course on forecasting and strategic planning focused on solving the problems arising during the transition to the sixth technological paradigm. The seminars and games, held as part of the grant, are useful for verifying current and emerging national strategies.
The round table will become a platform to discuss relevant Russia’s innovation/industry development strategies.

8.B2. Round Table. Strategic Energy Planning in Urban Districts: International Good Practices and Future Policy Perspectives

Organizers : Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, HafenCity University Hamburg

This year, the EU Interreg Baltic Sea Region project AREA 21 chairs a transnational workshop within the Forum. Co-organised by HafenCity University Hamburg (Germany) and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (Russia), the workshop will investigate the potentials and barriers for strategic energy planning in urban districts. It will include an opening keynote speech by Kaisa-Reeta Koskiinen from the City of Helsinki about local approaches to energy transition in the context of climate change. Thereafter, the workshop will explore the perspectives and involvement of local governments, building managers and energy end-users in energy planning processes A series of contributions by the EU-financed projects ActNOW, Effect4Buildings and eTEACHER will demonstrate good practice examples and approaches, which promote energy efficiency in the building stock. The second part of the workshop will include a panel discussion, during which the aforementioned representatives and additional guests will explore current policy challenges and desired policy changes to foster the energy transition in European cities.
The theme of the round table is based on the results of the AREA21 project within the INTERREG Baltic Sea Region Programme and other European projects, which are implemented with the participation of Russian organizations and are aimed at overcoming energy efficiency issues in housing and public utilities and at expanding renewable energy use.
Topics to be discussed:
- barriers to involving stakeholders in strategic planning for improving energy efficiency in housing and public utilities;
- the role of information and communications technology (ICT) in energy efficiency;
- best international practices to develop and implement strategic energy plans in urban districts.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at the workshop! For further information please get in touch with us (info@area21-project.eu). Please find a detailed agenda on the next page. Discover the workshop programme and be part of the discussion!
