Today, these congresses are held in the world every five years. The delegation of the Russian Federation has always been actively engaged in them.

The Philosophical Congress opens on Wednesday, October 7, with a plenary session in the Congress Hall, breakout sessions will be held at different venues. All Ufa universities are involved in its holding.
