Frontiers of Science Guild is a partner of the Skoltech popular science festival "Here?!"

"What?! Here?!" is a popular science lecture hall at Skoltech. Scientists will talk about research, discoveries and technologies in a simple and understandable language. The theme of this year's festival — the resonance of science and art: Participants will explore intersections and show how different approaches to understanding the world can enhance and complement each other. This year, the festival will bring together more than 50 events: lectures, master classes, exhibitions, scientific performances.  All this is done in collaboration with leading universities, museums and scientific institutes.

"Smoking room Gutenberg, a partner of the Frontiers of Science Guild, organized a speech by Yana Charuyskaya, an AI developer, formerly the head of the department of augmented reality at SberDevices, and now an employee of Alfa-Bank. The speaker will talk about the "Universe of neural networks: how AI creates texts, music, pictures, videos, and 3D worlds". In addition, some of the live broadcasts from the festival will be on the page. VK of the Gutenberg Smoking Room project: This is one of the oldest popular science projects that publishes popular science articles, lectures, podcasts, and other materials. Dialogues with experts from various industries, scientists, and science popularizers allow us to uncover topics from artificial intelligence to thermonuclear fusion to neurobiology and space exploration.

For the audience of high school students and their parents who choose a university or college for admission, the POWUZAM startup stand will operate at the festival, which , through face-to-face, virtual excursions and consultations, provides an accessible introduction to universities and educational programs. Studying helps not only to reduce the stress of choosing an educational institution, but also to be inspired to study science and get an education. The project covers more than 60 partner universities in 15 regions of Russia, including Bauman Moscow State Technical University, HSE, MEPhI, ITMO, RUDN University and others, and is included in the register of practices for scaling in the BRICS countries.

"The Guild unites projects in the field of basic science, applied technologies for space, as well as education and enlightenment. We actively support schoolchildren who are in love with space, students and young scientists. The Skoltech Festival is an extremely useful event in terms of involving the general public in scientific achievements and raising the general level of literacy on many issues, including those related to the space industry. Therefore, we are pleased to become a partner of the event and present our own projects," said Ilya Cech, co–founder of the Frontiers of Science Guild.
