The partner of the CASE-IN championship, KGEU, presented projects at the REN Youth Day

A delegation from Kazan State Energy University took part in the events of the Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall in Moscow.

Within the framework of the forum, the leadership of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation met with university rectors to discuss topical issues in the field of personnel training for the fuel and energy complex.

The Rector of the University, Edward Abdullazyanov, made a presentation on the promising areas of personnel training being implemented at KGEU, which are defined in the Development Program for 2021-2030 during participation in the Priority 2030 project of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. He also mentioned that another topic that the Energy University is closely involved in is the transition to a closed–loop economy, to a circular economy.

It should be recalled that by Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan No. 1365-r dated 07/20/2020, KGEU provides organizational and technical support to the Tatarstan-Finnish Center for Circular Economy. A competence center in the field of circular economy is being created at the University in order to promote and demonstrate the best available technologies in the field of circular economy.

The key event of the day was a meeting of the participants with Alexander Novak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, during which Rafael Askarov, Director of the Center for Marketing and Exhibition Activities, asked about the prospects of electric cars with appropriate charging stations.:

"In September, our university became one of the winners of the implementation competition for the Strategic Academic Leadership Program "Priority 2030" with a project to develop the charging infrastructure of electric transport. Thanks to the support of the leadership of the Republic of Tatarstan, our university, together with the Zarnitsa Production Association, received a subsidy under Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 218 for the organization of high-tech production of high-power mobile electric vehicle charging units with an integrated electricity storage system. Also in September, the KGEU hosted an expanded field Meeting of the Scientific and expert Council of the Federation Council Working group on Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, dedicated to the development of electric transport and charging infrastructure. Valuable proposals from the participants of this Meeting were sent to the relevant committees of the State Duma, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation. The university has opened new educational specialties in unmanned vehicles. A free charging station for electric vehicles is open in the parking lot near our new hostel. Dear Alexander Valentinovich, please tell me, what promising growth points do you see in the development of electric transport and charging infrastructure in the Russian Federation?"

"The development of [eco-friendly transport] is inevitable, people want to drive environmentally friendly cars. Therefore, in order for more and more electric vehicles to be produced and bought, it is important to create the appropriate infrastructure. The Government of the Russian Federation is well aware of this, and as part of the development of a strategy for socio-economic development and socio-economic initiatives initiated by Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin, Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, such a program for the development of charging infrastructure has already been adopted. Money will be allocated for support, for subsidies, the program will be implemented, and we will stimulate the development of the construction of the appropriate charging infrastructure," Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak replied.

As part of the Youth Day, the All-Russian Youth Session was held -a meeting on the best practices for conducting and participating in Youth Open Days of fuel and Energy complex companies in the round table format. At the event, representatives of industry companies presented the best practices of youth participation in Open Days within the framework of the All-Russian Energy Saving and Ecology Festival #Together Brighter.
