Moreover, the experts discussed the role of InteRussia in strengthening professional connections by bringing ideas, people, and institutions into one shared space of dialogue and growth.

This weekend glows with a special light — it’s the birthday of our kind-hearted teammate, Tanya 😍

A person who balances professionalism with genuine care, making our fellows, partners, and the entire team feel seen, understood, and supported.

In the world of engineering fellowships, Tanya is our North Star: attentive, precise, and always ready to guide the way. Thanks to her, participants progress through their projects not just efficiently, but with a sense of genuine care — as if someone quietly clears every obstacle for them.

She also brings her “interpreter magic” to conferences, excursions, and events, connecting people and creating moments where communication becomes a shared space of curiosity and cooperation.

May your year ahead be full of ideas that excite you, opportunities that let you shine, and a quiet kind of happiness that wraps around you like a warm, familiar hug💖

Shaping Nuclear Tomorrow 😁

The journey of our nuclear specialists is far from over — but one major milestone is now behind them. After two intensive weeks in Moscow filled with deep-dive sessions, hands-on modeling, and the kind of “lightbulb moments” they’re ready to move forward.

So what exactly did the fellows explore?

🔺Forging a nation’s nuclear future
🔺Tools and models that show where low-carbon systems are headed and why nuclear matters
🔺The real economics of clean energy
🔺Non-electric applications for nuclear energy
🔺The world of SMRs

A highlight of the program was the open discussions with Maria Oseeva, Head of International Nuclear Infrastructure Projects at Rosatom International Network, and Sergey Brilev, journalist and President of the Global Energy Association, where participants delved into not only the “how” of nuclear development but also the “why.”

And the fellowship is only gaining speed. Ahead is St. Petersburg, new expert panels, and the long-awaited visit to the Leningrad NPP. Keep following — the most exciting insights are still on the way. 👍

The InteRussia fellowship in nuclear technologies is implemented with support from the ABS Electro Charity Foundation and the Presidential Grants Foundation.
