For over 17 years, STS Forum has been a high-profile expert platform that brings together thought leaders from business circles, academic communities and public authorities to share insights on the “bright and dark sides of science and technology”. The workshop will look at the prospects of expanding the scope of cooperation between Russian and Japan, with emphasis on societal needs and, primarily, the ways of addressing COVID-19 and post-pandemic challenges. 

The workshop will be conducted in English only. The participants will have an opportunity to ask questions to the speakers and communicate freely to one another in online mode.

The detailed agenda and LIVE-broadcast is available on the workshop web page.
