The Festival's format includes a series of short lectures that can be freely attended throughout the day, as well as participation in additional activities and partner events.​

Notable speakers include Vladimir Lande, Principal Conductor of the Krasnoyarsk Academic Symphony Orchestra; Alexey Vodovozov, physician and science journalist; Roman Moryachkov, Senior Researcher at the Krasnoyarsk Scientific Centre of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and PhD in Physics and Mathematics; Elena Sudarikova, anthropologist, winner of the "Best Tour Guide" award and recipient of the RAS Commission on Science Popularisation Award, and others.

Interesting factoid:

The Festival was named after the Norwegian explorer and scientist Fridtjof Wedel-Jarlsberg Nansen, who visited Krasnoyarsk in 1913.
