Moscow economic forum launches essay competition
The Open Dialogue international discussion platform in Moscow has invited thinkers from around the world to take part in an economic essay competition.
The authors of the best works will present their ideas to a panel of experts as part of the forum titled “The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth.”
Nearly 700 people from 102 countries submitted essays during the first phase of the competition in April.
New participants have until December 26 to submit their essays online on topics related to investments in human capital, technology, the environment, and connectivity. Suggested themes range from migration and food security to cybersecurity and the impact of AI on the job market.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the winners will have the opportunity to attend major economic forums, including next year’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June, which brings together senior Russian officials and the heads of major corporations.
