On October 16 and 17, an international scientific and technical symposium titled “Modern Engineering Problems of Industries” was held in Moscow, under the auspices of UNESCO, within the framework of “The Second International Kosygin Readings”, and co-organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Kosygin State University, the International Academy of Engineering (IAE), and the Russian Academy of Engineering (RAE). In the plenary session of this symposium co-hosted by Prof. B.V. Gusev, president of the RAE and Prof. Belgorod Valery Savelievich, president of the Kosygin State University, CEO of the Tang Prize Foundation Dr. Jenn-Chuan Chern was invited to introduce the Tang Prize in his talk, “Tang Prize-Sparking the Future” while Prof. Duu-Jong Lee from National Taiwan University also gave a speech on “Biomass Energy—An Assessment” in the same session. It was hoped that an important occasion like this which attracted around 2700 people can bring together academicians from RAE and IAE for more exchanges of ideas.
