CASE-IN participants from Yakutsk study at the Essex Erasmus+ Summer School

Five fourth-year students from the Northeastern Federal University Institute of Physics and Technology are taking an online additional education course within the framework of the ESSENCE project, supported by the European ERASMUS+ program. Students will listen to lectures from international experts and solve case studies on intelligent energy, the university press service told YSIA.

Senior Lecturer at the Department of Power Supply Evdokia is SmallerVa said: "Thanks to the school, students will exchange experiences and communicate with leading scientists from other countries in the field of not only intellectual energy, but energy in general. They will be aware of current trends in the development of their field, which in turn will increase their competitiveness in further employment and admission to the master's program. They will have the opportunity to establish contacts with other universities: France, Vietnam and others." 

Evdokia Maleeva noted that students will also be able to improve their English language skills. "Every year, our university hosts a CASE IN energy defense, but this event is unique to Russia, and here, solving cases on an international scale is a completely different level, and students' knowledge and professionalism are improving.Ah," concluded the senior lecturer.

«I learned about the summer school from our supervisor, and I expect that participating in such a large-scale event will help me develop in the global electric power industry. The Summer school project provides an opportunity to gain new knowledge, solve interesting cases, make acquaintances, and in the future, perhaps, will help to enroll in the master's program.", – the student shared Valery Tatarinov. 

Student Saina Smetanina participates in the summer school for the first time. «The focus of the training is on the study of smart networks, that is, how information technology is related to energy. The knowledge gained within the school will be useful, first of all, when writing a thesis, and we will also be aware of all events, in particular, what technologies are emerging that will help in various championships. And, of course, they will help in the future profession."," she says. 

Saina Smetanina said that she decided to link her fate with energy consciously. "I consider my future profession to be noble. Our work allows people to live comfortably. And that's why I like her," the girl added. 

The school will last for three weeks from July 5 to July 28. More than 80 students from Russia, Vietnam, France, Latvia, Slovakia, Great Britain, India, Sri Lanka, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Turkey are participating in the event. The language of the events is English.
