"Academic workshop"? Just a thought: couldn't your render "научно-практическая конференция" as "academic workshop"? "Scientific Conference" sounds awfully clumsy to me. But that's just my personal opinion.

Why not technosphere? It is an accepted term like biosphere etc.
Industrial ecology:
the Biosphere-Technosphere analogy applied to evolutionary processes.
1. Evolutionary processes in the biosphere
2. Evolutionary processes in the technosphere

I would be inclined to play around with "infrastructure" or "built environment" for Техносферная

I'm afraid it doesn't have the same connotation for an English speaking person.

Should I put 'technosphere' instead of technological?
