Russia after the crisis: perspectives for modernization

In the vibrant and constantly changing global economic situation, European Union and Russia play a particularly important role. They are vastly complementary due to economic interdependence, but there are, nevertheless, some significant differences. Economies from the Atlantic to the Pacific, although subject to different shocks, should search for common strategies to overcome the financial crisis  and advance economic development.

The 6th Europe-Russia Forum will be a discussion platform intended to deepen economic cooperation and provide practical recommendations for policymakers, business leaders and scholars. It will therefore focus on economic issues such as innovations, investments, cooperation in the field of high technologies. A series of interactive panel sessions and discussions will offer impartial and up-to-date information on the most important developments in Russian-EU relations. The organizers will do their best to ensure efficient networking opportunities which might result in signing co-operation agreements.

The Forum will be held for the first time in Russia, in the west-Siberian city of Tyumen. Abounding in natural resources, the Tyumen region is one of the major west-Siberian industrial basins including mining, oil and gas processing, electricity, machinery and timber industry.
