Regarding the Initiative of the Russia 2045 Social Movement to Undertake Studies of Cognitive Processes in Living Systems and Scientific and Technological Studies in Russia on the Topic of Improving the Quality and Extending the Length of Human Life
(Itskov D.I., Naumov A.V., Ugryumov M.V., Reutov B.F., Sheremet N.G., Bondar I.V., Shchukin T.N., Karakchieva I.V., Andreyeva Y.B., Mozgrin D.V.)
Hereby noted is information from the founder of the strategic social movement Russia 2045 regarding the initiative of the strategic social movement Russia 2045 (hereafter “the Movement”) to undertake studies of cognitive processes in living systems and scientific and technological studies in Russia on the topic of improving the quality and extending the length of human life.
Noted is the positive role played by the Movement in drawing the attention of society, including that of young people, to the most vital fields of modern science, including those such as robotics, neurophysiology, pattern recognition and modeling of living systems, and in working to instill the concept of an innovation society in the public consciousness.
It is hereby resolved:
- To acknowledge the social utility of the initiative by the Movement to create, in accord with Federal Law No. 127-F3 dated August 23, 1996, “On Science and Governmental Policy in the Field of Science” (amended by Federal Law No. 249 dated July 20, 2011, “On the Amendment of the Federal Law “On Science and Governmental Policy in the Field of Science” and Article 251 of the Second Section of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation for the Purpose of Clarification of the Legal Status of Scientific, Research, and Innovation Funds”), a non-governmental fund for the support of science and innovation (hereafter “the fund”) for the material support of scientific research directed toward improving the quality and extending the length of human life, with the fund’s resources to be collected by way of direct contributions from natural and legal persons participating in or supportive of the Movement.
- For the purpose of determining the proper mechanisms for collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences and with the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences in areas of study selected by an expert group of the Movement, it is proposed that the Movement’s action group prepare and submit to the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences by October 1, 2011, a list of specific scientific and technical projects for analysis and evaluation of their scientific significance, feasibility, socio-economic value, and funding requirements.
- To recommend that the Movement’s action group prepare and submit for evaluation to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation by November 1, 2011, a feasible project proposal for the creation of an independent integrated scientific center founded on the principles of public-private collaboration for research into cognitive processes in living systems, technical structures possessing cognitive attributes, artificial organs, biotechnical interfaces, and humanoid systems. Said document must include proposals regarding its legal structure, the makeup of those participating in the work of center, sources of financing, integration mechanisms, employment structure, etc.

/ About us
Founded by Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Itskov in February 2011 with the participation of leading Russian specialists in the field of neural interfaces, robotics, artificial organs and systems.
The main goals of the 2045 Initiative: the creation and realization of a new strategy for the development of humanity which meets global civilization challenges; the creation of optimale conditions promoting the spiritual enlightenment of humanity; and the realization of a new futuristic reality based on 5 principles: high spirituality, high culture, high ethics, high science and high technologies.
The main science mega-project of the 2045 Initiative aims to create technologies enabling the transfer of a individual’s personality to a more advanced non-biological carrier, and extending life, including to the point of immortality. We devote particular attention to enabling the fullest possible dialogue between the world’s major spiritual traditions, science and society.
A large-scale transformation of humanity, comparable to some of the major spiritual and sci-tech revolutions in history, will require a new strategy. We believe this to be necessary to overcome existing crises, which threaten our planetary habitat and the continued existence of humanity as a species. With the 2045 Initiative, we hope to realize a new strategy for humanity's development, and in so doing, create a more productive, fulfilling, and satisfying future.
The "2045" team is working towards creating an international research center where leading scientists will be engaged in research and development in the fields of anthropomorphic robotics, living systems modeling and brain and consciousness modeling with the goal of transferring one’s individual consciousness to an artificial carrier and achieving cybernetic immortality.
An annual congress "The Global Future 2045" is organized by the Initiative to give platform for discussing mankind's evolutionary strategy based on technologies of cybernetic immortality as well as the possible impact of such technologies on global society, politics and economies of the future.
Future prospects of "2045" Initiative for society
2015-2020
The emergence and widespread use of affordable android "avatars" controlled by a "brain-computer" interface. Coupled with related technologies “avatars’ will give people a number of new features: ability to work in dangerous environments, perform rescue operations, travel in extreme situations etc.
Avatar components will be used in medicine for the rehabilitation of fully or partially disabled patients giving them prosthetic limbs or recover lost senses.
2020-2025
Creation of an autonomous life-support system for the human brain linked to a robot, ‘avatar’, will save people whose body is completely worn out or irreversibly damaged. Any patient with an intact brain will be able to return to a fully functioning bodily life. Such technologies will greatly enlarge the possibility of hybrid bio-electronic devices, thus creating a new IT revolution and will make all kinds of superimpositions of electronic and biological systems possible.
2030-2035
Creation of a computer model of the brain and human consciousness with the subsequent development of means to transfer individual consciousness onto an artificial carrier. This development will profoundly change the world, it will not only give everyone the possibility of cybernetic immortality but will also create a friendly artificial intelligence, expand human capabilities and provide opportunities for ordinary people to restore or modify their own brain multiple times. The final result at this stage can be a real revolution in the understanding of human nature that will completely change the human and technical prospects for humanity.
2045
This is the time when substance-independent minds will receive new bodies with capacities far exceeding those of ordinary humans. A new era for humanity will arrive! Changes will occur in all spheres of human activity – energy generation, transportation, politics, medicine, psychology, sciences, and so on.
Today it is hard to imagine a future when bodies consisting of nanorobots will become affordable and capable of taking any form. It is also hard to imagine body holograms featuring controlled matter. One thing is clear however: humanity, for the first time in its history, will make a fully managed evolutionary transition and eventually become a new species. Moreover, prerequisites for a large-scale expansion into outer space will be created as well.
