The year-round Arctic research station "Snowflake" in Yamal will use advanced technologies in the field of clean energy production and life support systems. The station will be located in the Jade Valley of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and will become the world's first scientific and educational complex that operates on hydrogen energy. According to the embassy, Russian scientists will be able to conduct research here in a whole range of areas, including hydrogen energy, thermal stabilization of permafrost soils, carbon footprint reduction technologies, Arctic medicine, telecommunications in high latitudes, aero- and hydroponics, robotic platforms with artificial intelligence. The research program announced during the development of the project has already been supported by the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The forum "Territory of Meanings" has been held since 2015, until 2018 it was held in the Vladimir region.
