From April 23 to 25, 2025, the Valdai Discussion Club will host a conference for participants of its Valdai – New Generation project at its Moscow headquarters.
The event will bring together over 40 Russian and international experts, including young specialists, postgraduate students, and graduates of leading universities in international relations. Representing Algeria, Belarus, Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, and Serbia, these participants have been actively engaged in the Valdai – New Generation initiative since its launch in March 2024 at the first Youth Conference, “The Valdai Club: The World in 2040”, held during the World Youth Festival.
Valdai – New Generation is a dynamic community of researchers under 35, united by their pursuit of innovative solutions to the most pressing challenges in international politics and the global economy. These accomplished specialists are poised to become the next generation of policymakers and thought leaders in their respective countries.
The project aims to foster intergenerational dialogue on global affairs, support the professional development of young scholars, and strengthen their ties with Russian and international expert networks. Organisers believe these emerging voices will bring fresh perspectives to the Club, propose novel solutions, and highlight overlooked opportunities for change.
