In line with UNESCO SDG 4, the conference aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for everyone to transform our world, create conditions for building a Smart Society and propose projects and programmes to overcome information and gender disparities in access to information and knowledge.

Plenary session: Intelligent Technology: Shared Progress or Elitisation of Society?

Workshop 1. Information society: education, ethics, law

As new communicative areas of activity emerge, society needs to rethink its moral and ethical standards. Universal unhindered access to information, mutual respect and observance of human rights, countering cybercrime and building a just and multicultural information society remain key issues. Ethical and legal aspects of the information society are a priority for UNESCO.

Workshop 2. Digital wave: truth and post-truth

Globalisation of the economy, technological development of mass media and active use of social networks contribute to the transition of society to a new information state. The vast information flows generated by the digital society are characterised by a low percentage of true statements and facts. The blurring of boundaries between fiction and truth, falsification of data, pretentious interpretation of historical events give rise to the phenomenon of post-truth.

Workshop 3. Smart Nations: industrialisation, innovation and infrastructure

The concept of Smart Nations, a balanced framework for the management of transnational social and economic systems, requires the creation of new infrastructure for innovation in the modern industrial environment. Infrastructural changes in social and economic systems lead to an improvement in the quality of life through the introduction and creation of environmentally friendly and energy-saving businesses.

Workshop 4. One half: gender equality, access to education for girls and women

A prerequisite for social progress and sustainable development of society is gender equality and providing women with the same opportunities as men to exercise the fundamental rights and freedoms embodied in the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Gender equality in access to education for girls and women involves significant shifts in the employment structure in the digital economy and greatly expands the opportunities offered to women, international organisations and associations.

The conference materials will be published in a collection of scientific articles and posted at the Russian Science Citation Index.
