This September, the InteRussia STEM fellowship concluded at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, bringing together young professionals from 12 countries — Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Vietnam, India, China, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, Serbia, Türkiye, and South Africa.
From Ideas to Prototypes through a Month of Immersive Learning:
🤔 At the heart of the program was Skoltech’s Innovation Workshop — an intensive bootcamp where participants worked in teams, developed technological solutions, and presented their projects before an expert jury.
Several winning teams — three in total — featured our InteRussia fellows among their members!
🤔 The fellows visited VK’s headquarters, Moscow State Technological University STANKIN, and Astra Group, one of Russia’s leading software developers.
🤔 Outside the labs, they explored Russia’s cultural heritage — from a sightseeing tour of Moscow and a visit to the National Center “Russia” to discovering how tradition and innovation coexist in the country’s modern life.
The journey ended, but the ideas, friendships, and shared passion for innovation will keep moving forward.
The InteRussia fellowship program for non-Russian specialists in STEM is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, and the Directorate of the World Youth Festival with support from ABS Electro Charity Foundation and the Presidential Grants Foundation.
