As part of the Global Impact Conference 2022, held on December 1 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, Members of Impact Team 2050, the international youth advisory council under the Director General of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom, presented a report on the development of the future education.

If we want our work to be as effective as possible and reflect all modern trends, we need the view from the younger generation. We are grateful to each member of the Impact Team 2050 for their contribution to our joint work for an unbiased assessment of our plans and, of course, for the developed proposals for further cooperation,” said Mr. Alexei Likhachev, Director General of Rosatom.
