General Information
The International Conference "Planetariums of the XXI century" is traditionally held by the Cultural and Educational Center named after Valentina V. Tereshkova and revolves around planetariums as modern informative and educational institutions.
Nowadays many planetariums are being built in the territory of Russia. Modern planetariums have been opened in Irkutsk, Kazan, Kaluga, Kirov, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novokuznetsk, Novosibirsk, Perm, Saint Petersburg, Tomsk, Ufa, Yaroslavl and in the Commonwealth of Independent States, including Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Modern planetariums are used to train future cosmonauts, sailors and pilots on a professional level. These institutions are essential to study astronomy and astronavigation, and take readings of celestial bodies.
As planetarium technologies are steadily developing, an interest towards planetariums and cultural and educational development of population is also increasing. Planetariums play a key role in patriotic upbringing of youngsters, drawing their attention to innovative space and astronomic studies and making such science-driven occupations as the cosmonaut, sailor and pilot more upmarket.
Cutting-edge equipment enables lectures to project educational programs and programs about scientific space experiments right on the dome in real-time mode.
Yaroslavl experts have extensive experience in creating educational and cultural complexes using technical opportunities of modern planetariums. Gaining experience from fellow Russian and foreign colleagues, we are willing to share our best practices with everyone who wants to open this institution in their home region.
