There are now almost 9,000 participants of the "Russia 2045" movement. But the number of people who share our ideas and values is far greater. Among us are representatives of the most diverse professions, beliefs, and cultures, people of different ages and life experience, living and working all over the world.

We are facing the choice: To fall into a new Dark Age -- into affliction and degradation – or to find a new model for human development and create not simply a new civilization, but a new mankind.

The 2045 initiative has received the blessing and support from the Dalai Lama, as it prepares to announce the second Global Future 2045 Congress, being held in New York, June, 2013. Congress will gather world leading scientists and public figures to discuss how Avatar technologies can drive human evolution.

On the February 20, 2012 After three days of seminars and presentations, Congress "Global Future 2045" closed with the round table discussion devoted to formulating concepts, forming future strategy and writing of the Congress Resolution.

The Pentagon’s new Avatar project, unveiled by Danger Room a few weeks back, sounds freaky enough: Soldiers practically inhabiting the bodies of robots, who’d act as “surrogates” for their human overlords in battle. But according to Dmitry Itskov, a 31-year-old Russian entrepreneur, the U.S. military’s Avatar initiative doesn’t go nearly far enough.

Respected Experts and Participants in our Initiative! We would like to acquaint you with the roadmap for our technological project. All of the areas of our project are unified by the goal of building a Synthetic Humanoid Body.

In February 2011, a number of Russian researchers announced plans to create an artificial human body controlled by a neurointerface by the year 2045.

When skeptics voice doubts about the viability of creating an artificial human body in the coming decades, it attests only to the fact that they are not very familiar with the scientific and technological achievements that have been made in this field of late. They fail to notice the monthly and daily news about technologies and scientific innovations being introduced that once seemed a part of the world of science fiction but that today are already benefiting people’s lives.
