  • to involve a broad audience represented by students and professionals in engineering, economy, culture into discussion
  • to build a vision for the future based on consideration of the following points: what has already been or might be researched and developed soon, how it can be introduced to markets and to society, and what will be the consequences of its adoption in the nearest 4-8 years.
