During the work of the congress, a conclusions was made by the participants: Our civilization is driven forward by scientists, thanks to their discoveries. And politicians, businessmen and others, political elites dominating in the countries and oligarchy - only use the fruits of scientists, as a rule - in their own interests. Often the great fundamental discoveries were not only for the benefit of mankind, but also to the detriment. The latest and promising achievements of science have already given mankind such power today that their use could harm the death of Civilization. This raises a problem - control over the use of scientific advances, especially in the areas of: weapons, Nano-Technology, Genetic Engineering, Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, the introduction of new Information Technologies, in the Cyber Environment, the dangers associated with the use of new drugs developed using nano and biotechnology, etc. It is noted that any, even the most progressive and socially oriented technology has its limits of application, through which it can cause damage - not comparable with a positive result.

A wide range of legal, organizational and other measures are being taken in the world to monitor the use of science. However, they are ineffective, since the scientific community itself is largely excluded from them. Meanwhile, only the scientific community can fully monitor and predict the possibilities for using their achievements for unkind purposes. In this regard, the scientific community must realize the full extent of its responsibility for the use of the fruits of their labor. This responsibility is not legal, but moral and moral, dictated by the understanding of the whole measure of danger for Mankind of the use of the power that SCIENCE gives to the Civilization, for selfish and unkind purposes. This implies the need for the active influence of the scientific community on the direction of applying the achievements of progress.

It was noted about the need to change the paradigm from "Man for the Economy" to "Economy for Man." About the growing role of education in the world, which can allow each person to perceive the essence of the ongoing transformations in the world and respond adequately to them.

Forms of neo-colonial Politics: The challenges of the twenty-first century were discussed: the growing threats in the era of ongoing global changes in all spheres of life on the planet, understanding the "crisis model of technological civilization." Interception of management of world processes by the leaders of TNCs and banking systems, new and new values. Problems of development of adequate models and technologies of the world community organization. Problems of environmental safety in the world. Questions prevent the occurrence of military conflicts on the planet.

The congress discussed US foreign policy in Latin America, with respect to the countries of Europe, in the Middle East, relations with China. On the situation in the Donbas, the delegates from Ukraine told the DNI and LC. Colonel V.V. Kvachkov delivered a report at the congress.

Doctor of Military Sciences, a well-known expert in the field of Geopolitics, Co-Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Congress, Konstantin Sivkov, in his report suggested considering the role and place of the scientific community in preventing the occurrence of threats generated by modern scientific and technological progress. And emphasized the need to create a network community in the scientific world, in order to guaranty safe progress. “The basis of its activities put the principles of equality, voluntariness, internationalism and mutual awareness. “..... We do not expect that the emergence of the International Community“ Scientists for Safe Progress “will radically change the situation in the field of control over the application of scientific and technical achievements and prevent their use for the sake of evil to Humanity. But with something you need start ... ", he said.

V.Yu. Sadkov, Professor Heinz Dietrich, Doctor of Sociological and Economic Sciences (Mexico) and a number of other speakers developed this idea in their speeches. Following the results of the congress, a draft resolution was adopted, which is now in discussion among delegates of the congress and scientific community.
