Any major event should leave its mark, not only in the form of signed agreements, but also, academics should develop a methodology and give an assessment of the work that has been done. Recently, Roscongress, as a non-financial development institution, has been actively developing its focus on expertise and analysis. This work is being done together with experts from leading Russian universities, who participate in the work of panels, offer criticisms and suggestions, and produce recommendations. The methodological matrix helps Roscongress to improve the events that they manage, including SPIEF. To enrich their programme. Igor Maksimtsev, Rector of the Saint Petersburg State University of Economics, made these comments.
