Science and society, science and technology policy, communications in science, mobility of scientists, sociology of science, women in science, assessment of the activities of scientists and research teams, science and education, social problems of modern technologies — these are the topics that were discussed at HISTELCON-2021. Holding the HISTELCON-2021 conference in Moscow is a sign of respect for the outstanding achievements of Russian and Soviet science. Seventy years ago, in December 1951, the first Soviet computers M-1 and MESM were created. The Soviet Union was one of the three countries that were the first to enter the era of computer technology. The conference was also timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the Institute for the History of Science and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, celebrated in 2022. Most of the reports presented at the conference considered the development of computer technologies and their applications in dynamics, how their achievements could affect the future.
