In Russia, STANKIN is one of them — and our fellows explored what makes it a training ground for future industry leaders.
🔗A legacy built on machines
Founded in 1930 to train engineers for the Soviet machine-tool industry, STANKIN was created at a time when the country urgently needed specialists. The format was tough: four days of factory work, two days of lectures lasting up to 12 hours. Only two years later, the first engineers graduated — just 29 of them.
Today, it’s one of only nine system-forming universities in Russia — institutions recognized for their strategic importance to the country’s economy and technological future. More than 5,000 students study here now, many of them working directly with real-world industry partners.
During the visit, the fellows explored the university’s Engineering Center for Digital Technologies in Mechanical Engineering. From smart tools to high-precision systems, they saw how Russia trains engineers not just for today’s tasks, but for the industries of tomorrow.
The InteRussia fellowship program for non-Russian specialists in STEM is implemented with support from the
Directorate of the World Youth Festival,
ABS Electro
Charity Foundation and the
Presidential Grants Foundation.
