NRU "MEI" at the "Russian Energy Week" Forum

The VIII was held in Moscow The International Forum "Russian Energy Week". The central industry event of the year was a vivid demonstration of the prospects for the development of the domestic fuel and energy complex and the potential for international cooperation. Students, scientists, teachers and staff of the National Research University "MEI" took an active part in the work of the International Forum.

As a leading university in the energy industry, NRU MEI makes a significant contribution to the formation of the scientific and technological base and the training of specialists who determine the future of Russia's energy sector.

Nikolai Rogalev, Rector of the National Research University of Economics, took part in the round table "Engineer of the Future: how to train specialists to meet the challenges of technological leadership", organized by the Reliable Change Foundation as part of the youth day of the Russian Energy Week 2025.

The discussion focused on finding effective solutions for training engineering personnel who can ensure Russia's technological sovereignty and leadership in strategically important industries.

Nikolay Rogalev was awarded a letter of appreciation for the joint organization of federal projects within the framework of the All-Russian Youth Action Plan "Fuel and Energy Complex for Youth".

Vladimir Zamolodchikov, First Vice-Rector of NRU MEI, awarded schoolchildren and students who showed the best results following their participation in the Russian School Olympiad of the ROSSETI Group of Companies and the Energy Circles project on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week 2025 forum.

The NRU MEI team has reached the final of the Youth Global Forecast of Energy Development competition

On the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week 2025 forum, the university's national team presented its global forecast for energy development and reached the final of the competition, beating dozens of strong teams from all over the country. Of the 43 teams, only the top three qualified for the finals, and among them are our students.

The team of the National Research University "MEI" "Epoch of Resonance" became the silver medalist of the competition "Youth global forecast of energy development". This success confirms the high level of training at the NRU "MEI" and the importance of our research for the future of energy.

The project "Invisible Heroes" by the team of the engineering platform "Generator" of the National Research University "MEI" took the second place in Interactive sessions on the creation of youth projects under the auspices of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship within the framework of the youth day of the Russian Energy Week – 2025.

The Invisible Heroes project is dedicated to people whose work remains behind the scenes, but without whom it is impossible to imagine modern energy — engineers, grid specialists, repair crews, power engineers who ensure the reliability and security of the country.

The team explained how the engineering community can popularize the profession of an energy engineer, inspire schoolchildren and students to choose technical areas and build respect for those who create and support the energy industry of the future.

Nikolay Rogalev, Rector of NRU MEI, moderated the round table "NTS UES: Russian Electric Power Industry — Safe Operation and Effective Development" within the framework of the Russian Energy Week 2025 forum.

The participants discussed issues of technological sovereignty, modernization of thermal and nuclear generation, implementation of digital solutions, development of distributed and renewable energy.

Special attention was paid to import substitution of energy equipment, improvement of the regulatory and technical base and training of qualified personnel - the foundation of the country's technological leadership.

Svetlana Suleymanova, Head of the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Energy, acted as a speaker at the panel discussion "Energy Map of Opportunities", where she spoke about the competence model of the best engineer of the future and also about how conditions are being created at the Ministry of Energy for the formation of the best engineers of the future. 

During the panel discussion, all the speakers paid special attention to the need for the development of a competitive specialist of the future — the development of engineering thinking, supra-professional competencies, pre-university training and confident value support of future specialists in the field of energy. The panel discussion was organized by the Content Foundation together with the Rosatom student community.

Graduate students and staff of the Department of the Moscow State Institute of Physics and Technology took part in the competition of innovative projects and scientific and technical developments for the fuel and energy complex under the auspices of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The competition is aimed at developing youth research and innovation activities in the Fuel and energy complex. Participation in the competition provides support to young scientists, as well as helps Russian companies and scientific institutions promote best practices.
