“The Future is now!” The prestigious Nobel Fest kicks off in Kazakhstan next week. It will be held online and will last three days. The main goal of the organizers is to promote the integration of Central Asia and the Caucasus into the world’s advanced innovative trends. Traditionally, the scientific and educational event will be attended by world science celebrities, researchers, business leaders and innovators, including 10 Nobel Prize laureates and the same number of “Breakthrough Prize” winners.
