Knowledge Stream is a nonprofit educational project; its main objective is to introduce the Russian audience to the latest global advancements in science and business. The project involves distinguished researchers and experts who are willing to share their knowledge with a Russian audience, but who are unable to travel to Russia in person. The lecturers instead appear via videoconference; every presentation and subsequent discussion is broadcast live on the Knowledge Stream website.

Project events focus on a wide variety of topics, ranging from biotech and physics to digital art.

Before each lecture, reading and preparatory materials are posted on the Knowledge Stream website. The site is designed as an interactive educational platform, oriented toward high school and college students, researchers, and anyone else interested in the project. Site materials can be accessed from anywhere in the world: all the lectures are in English with simultaneous translation into Russian, and additional resources are also offered in the two languages.
