Abstract
The article sums up the results of the II International Conference on Eurasian Cross-Border Economic, Scientific and Technological Interactions (Novosibirsk, December 12-14, 2022). It reviews its goals, objectives, and main plenary reports. It is concluded that the Conference was held at a high academic level with excellent organization and received wide publicity. By analyzing the presentations, speeches, and discussions, we study the following: a changing configuration of cross-border interactions between Eurasian countries, international scientific and technical cooperation in view of the global challenges and threats arising in 2022; the positioning of Siberia and its regions in the system of trans-Eurasian integration under new conditions; the role of Russian science in implementing the new state policy of international economic, scientific, and technical cooperation; and opportunities for enhancing interacademic cooperation with Russia. It is Siberia that is currently becoming the most important Russian macro-region, capable of implementing a new configuration of Eurasian economic, scientific, and technological interactions. At the same time, the new Siberia’s role in the system of Eurasian integration should be based on a modernized economic development model, focused on a greater part for innovation and knowledge. We point out the vast capabilities of the Novosibirsk science and innovation ecosystem, which is truly growing into a crucial Russian science and innovation hub for eastern and southern cross-border interactions.
