You can study power systems for years — grids, loads, stability models — but none of it truly lands until you see how it all works in motion. That’s exactly what brought energy professionals from the Middle East and Africa to Kazan.
So what did it look like in practice?
⭐️ At the Energoprom Forum, fellows stepped into a high-level professional space where discussions focused on real industry challenges: infrastructure resilience, technological modernization, and the future of energy systems.
⭐️ At Innopolis University and the Free Economic Zone, they explored how digitalization, education, and business are integrated into one ecosystem — an environment where new energy solutions emerge and scale.
⭐️ As part of the program, participants visited Tatenergosbyt, Grid Company, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Iskra Volga Technopark, and also took part in a meeting with the State Committee on Tariffs of the Republic of Tatarstan.
⭐️ During an informal exchange with KSPEU international students, fellows compared academic paths, explored differences in national energy systems, and discovered how closely their challenges align across countries.
⭐️ And of course, no experience would be complete without cultural immersion: fellows uncovered the secrets of Syuyumbike, explored the Sviyazhsk Island-Grad, and expanded their vocabulary — chak-chak and echpochmak quickly became their favorite words (and dishes).
In the end, the program offered more than knowledge — it brought together people, experiences, and moments that stay with fellows long after the fellowship is over.
💡 And if you’re an energy professional, this might be exactly where your next step begins — just give it a try.
The InteRussia fellowship in the Electric Power is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, the Academy of Youth Diplomacy, and Kazan State Power Engineering University with grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
