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 by leading scientists and Nobel laureates, interactive exhibitions, teleconferences with the International Space Station (ISS) and the Antarctic research 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 the 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 a place.

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

On Sunday, the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner Dan Shekhtman will talk about quasi-periodic crystals, Andrew Harrison, director of the largest Diamond Light Source synchrotron, will give a lecture on why synchrotrons are needed and how they “help rediscover our cultural heritage,” and Roman Vilfand, director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center explain how weather forecasts are made (you can ask him if the upcoming 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 an 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, visitors to the festival will see a teleconference with the International Space Station, which has already become traditional: Sergei Ryazansky, who is on board the ISS, will answer questions about what it is like to be an astronaut.

And on Sunday afternoon, in the same place, 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 take place in the auditorium of the Fundamental Library. If you are a preschooler or a parent of such a child and love to "chem", then this show is for you. In addition, for all three days of the festival, a domed cinema will open in front of the Fundamental Library of Moscow State University, where viewers can learn about the evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang to the present day and much more.

Where to walk

If you are a fan of slowly flanking and staring at something interesting, several exhibitions will work for you in the festival program at once.

The exhibition at the Expocentre will include, for example, sites 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 the Fundamental Library of Moscow State University, you can, for example, 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 devices and figure out what the soil consists of.

What else

In parallel with the main venues at Moscow State University, popular science fun will unfold at the faculties. The Faculty of Fundamental Medicine on Saturday invites you to look at the 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 with 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 6 to 8 October 2017, the Science Festival NAUKA 0+ will be held in Moscow. The central venues of the Festival: the Intellectual Center - the Fundamental Library and the Shuvalov Building of the Moscow State University, the Central Exhibition Complex "Expocentre" 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. Sadovnichy. Since 2007, the Festival of Science has become a city-wide event, and in 2011 it received the status of an All-Russian event. 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, what prospects it opens up. The invariable motto of the Festival is "Make your discovery!".

The main theme of the Science Festival NAUKA 0+ 2017 is big data. This topic combines biology, forensics, ecology, marketing, medicine - now it is difficult to find a field of knowledge in which specialists do not work with big data. What it is, how they change our lives, you can find out at the events of the Science Festival.

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, to instill in them an interest and love for science, the Rosregistr portal writes. The NAUKA 0+ Festival demonstrates the latest scientific and technological achievements, proves the need to introduce scientific knowledge into the modern life of people for the economic and cultural upsurge of society. In addition, it is a business platform for effective interaction between science, society and business.

The science holiday 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 government of Moscow. 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, teleconferences with the ISS and the Antarctic scientific station. Admission to all events is free.

What else

Interesting events this weekend will take place not only around Moscow University. Thus, MAI will host its Science Day with demonstration flights of aircraft modellers, and a large festival program is planned at RUDN University.
Moscow State Pedagogical University promises a philological quest ("Philology for kids", to which for some reason students are invited), and MISiS - "fun experiments". Russian State University of Oil and Gas named after I.M. Gubkina will show how you can pump oil without leaving the classroom, while the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, as expected, will hold a bunch of economic events, from a quiz about taxes to a seminar on fintech.

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 people of the modern type in Europe. Its inhabitants are considered to be the ancestors of Eastern and Northern Europeans. Excavations of the ancient site began in 1965. More than 80,000 cultural and household items, including jewelry, were found at the site of the camp.

The visualization is 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 modeling was carried out using modern face reconstruction technologies, as well as on the basis of laser scanning data and high-precision photography of skulls from the burial.
