On January 15-16, 2020, the Gaidar Forum will again be held at the Presidential Academy - one of the largest political and economic events in Russia, traditionally gathering leading Russian and foreign experts, politicians, entrepreneurs, political scientists, economists, and representatives of social and educational spheres. The annual Gaidar Forum will be the first major international forum to be held in Russia this year. Every year the forum touches on an ever-widening range of the most relevant topics.
