The Congress participants will be able to attend the KHL regular season between HC Sochi and Tolyatti Lada. The meeting will be held at the Bolshoi Sports Palace. You can get e-tickets in a Single personal account.

The scientific and entertainment program will be presented in a variety of event formats.: Participants will enjoy scientific battles, film screenings, and intellectual games.

The final of the fourth season of the University League of Scientific Battles will feature six of the brightest winners of the qualifying stages, which took place in six cities based on the results of scientific battles in more than 80 universities across the country. The participants of the final Scientific Battle will briefly and vividly talk about their research, and the winner will be chosen with applause, the volume of which will be measured with a sound level meter. The event is organized by the Science Slam Russia Association in cooperation with the University of MISIS. At the Night of Scientific Failures, five young scientists and business representatives will share their unsuccessful experiences with the audience: they will tell about the mistakes they made in scientific activity and the lessons they learned from it. Each speaker will have only ten minutes to speak and one "failure" that they are ready to share.

The game program will include an intellectual quiz "What? Where? When?", "Polytechnic Games" from the Polytechnic Museum and the intuition game "What did they mean?".

Anniversary intellectual game "What? Where? When?" will bring together experts from the elite television club and young scientists. Several teams will compete for the main prize, one of which will be formed from the audience before the game starts. The winners will have an exclusive tour to one of the operating nuclear power plants.

The Polytechnic Museum organizes "Polytechnic Games" at the Congress site – a team quiz with questions of varying complexity in text, photo, video, and even invented with the help of artificial intelligence. Answering the questions will require erudition, excitement, and the ability to think logically. Teams of 4 to 6 people can participate. The winners will receive prizes.

One of the most recognizable formats of the evening program is "Science in bars", which is organized by the University of MISIS. Young scientists will talk about their path in science, as well as the challenges and opportunities of their field of research: from legal issues to the creation of a quantum computer. A separate format within the framework of "Science in Bars" this year is offered by the KorSovet – a real pitch session of projects in the energy sector with the opportunity to receive feedback from industry experts.

The Congress participants will be able to visit the museums of Sochi and the Krasnodar Territory: the Museum of the history of the resort city of Sochi, the State Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve "Fanagoria", the Arboretum Park, the Sochi Art Museum named after D.D. Zhilinsky.
