The VIII International Forum "Russian Energy Week" has come to an end in Moscow. The main theme of this year's forum is "Creating the energy of the future together." The discussions revolved around several important tracks: the importance of energy for improving people's well-being and quality of life, ensuring technological sovereignty, developing human resources, overcoming geopolitical challenges and building an equal and mutually beneficial partnership. This year, representatives of 85 countries took part in the REN.

The forum was also attended by students of the Higher Oil School and the Polytechnic School of the SOUTH. They were invited to the REN Youth Day, which brought together over 1,500 young professionals, students, schoolchildren, as well as representatives of industry companies from the Russian Federation, CIS countries and BRICS, including those who became winners, prize-winners and finalists of international, federal and corporate educational youth projects in the fuel and energy sector. The forum hosted more than 30 events in various formats, where young industry representatives were able to personally ask questions to energy industry professionals, business leaders, and present initiatives and the results of their work.

So, undergraduate students Gleb Nekrasov and undergraduates Kristina Omelchenko, Natalia Krivosheeva, Dmitry Streltsov went to Moscow together with associate professor of the higher school Alexander Shepelev. The students became participants of the round table "Artificial intelligence in the electric power industry". Interactive platforms and panel discussions attracted the special attention of our students. Students note that thanks to their participation in the REN, they have acquired important knowledge that will help in further education.

"Participation in the forum gave me unique opportunities for personal acquaintance with representatives of large companies in the energy sector and industry. They presented the latest domestic developments, which will soon significantly increase the efficiency and sustainability of the fuel and energy complex of our country and beyond. Of course, this experience will be a valuable contribution to my career as a specialist in the field of modern energy," said Gleb Nekrasov.

The Youth Day sites were visited by students of the Higher Oil School of the SOUTH Anna Zorina, Georgy Lungu, Ilya Zobnin, Victoria Ragozina, Arseniy Zavalin and Ksenia Tsyganova. Students participated in the competition of innovative projects and scientific and technical developments for the fuel and energy sector under the auspices of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The YUGA team presented the project "EcoSorb of Yugra: innovative solutions for natural purification based on modified sphagnum moss", which were highly appreciated by the jury members.

"We managed to present our project and learn about interesting projects of teams from other universities, visit the exhibition at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall, and become spectators of the game "What? Where? When?" with the participation of Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak. I really enjoyed the event! I got a valuable performance experience that I would definitely like to repeat. On behalf of the team, we would like to express our gratitude to our head, Irina Viktorovna Ananyina," said Anna Zorina.
