Vyzov Foundation and MAER Group Sign a Cooperation Agreement

The Vyzov Foundation for the Development of Scientific and Cultural Relations and the MAER Group media holding signed an Agreement of Cooperation on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on June 19th, 2025. 

MAER Group has been the Vyzov Foundation’s media partner since late 2024, when the media giant helped launch a promo campaign to announce the forthcoming VYZOV Prize award ceremony, and in January 2025 the newly awarded Laureates were introduced to millions of people across Russia’s many regions using the company’s media facades and street screens. 

“Thanks to MAER Group, millions of people have already been familiarized with the faces and the names of VYZOV Prize Laureates from 2023 and 2024. We will know this year’s award winners in December. And, together with our partners, we will certainly do everything we can to introduce these new scientific celebrities, who are changing our lives for the better, to as many people as possible,” said President of the Vyzov Foundation Natalia Tretyak.

The signing of the Cooperation Agreement followed the announcement of the VYZOV Prize 2025 submission campaign results. The submission campaign was also publicized and promoted by MAER Group, and garnered 632 submissions from 40 countries, with the award’s international ‘Discovery’ category attracting the most interest.  

“Supporting science and technology is an investment in the future. We have a tradition of providing our display panels for promoting groundbreaking ideas, projects and personalities who can change this world. We introduced the VYZOV Prize to 12 million people within just 20 days. The increase in the number of submissions, particularly those posted from abroad, is testimony to VYZOV’s role as a global platform for dialogue in science. I am confident that this year’s awards will go to scientists whose discoveries and achievements will soon make history, and we will be happy to publicize them to millions of people,” says MAER Group’s Founder and CEO Konstantin Mayor. 

A promo campaign highlighting the results of the VYZOV Prize 2025 submission campaign will launch on June 19th. Information regarding the number and the geography of award submissions will be displayed on MAER’s street screens installed in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, Ufa, Voronezh, Samara, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and other cities.
