On Knowledge Day, we’re not just opening books — we’re opening doors to innovation💡

Yesterday, the InteRussia fellowship in STEM officially kicked off at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. This year’s program brings together bright young minds from Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, China, India, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, Serbia, South Africa, Turkey, and Vietnam.

The adventure starts with the Innovation Workshop — an intensive, bootcamp-style program where fellows will turn bold ideas into real solutions. Over the coming weeks, participants will navigate the full cycle of innovation: from brainstorming and testing hypotheses to prototyping and delivering ready-to-use technologies.

🎙 As one of the fellows, Julio Catta Preta Lemos (Brazil), shared: “From the breathtaking campus to the cutting-edge facilities, everything here encourages us to be bold — to innovate, to fail, and to try again.”

The next weeks promise challenges and breakthroughs — stay tuned to follow the journey of these future STEM leaders!

The InteRussia fellowship program for non-Russian specialists in STEM is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, and the Directorate of the World Youth Festival with support from ABS Electro Charity Foundation and the Presidential Grants Foundation.

Bridging Continents: Latin American Fellows Explore Russia’s Energy⭕️

This summer, our Latin American fellows in energy wrapped up a journey that took them from power grids and oil terminals to opera houses and imperial gardens, discovering the interplay between modern infrastructure and centuries of cultural heritage.

Highlights from their adventure:

⭕️They discovered how Russia keeps its national energy system stable and future-ready, visiting the JSC System Operator of the Unified Energy System, Medvedevskaya 110 kV Digital Substation and the Intelligent Digital Network Lab of Rosseti.

⭕️At the Unified Dispatch Center of Moscow Metro, a charging station for electric buses, and St. Petersburg's tram and trolleybus depot, the fellows saw how transport and energy infrastructures interconnect to keep cities moving.

⭕️Their journey also took them through Transneft, KINEF’s refinery, and Gazprom Neft’s Gladkoye fuel terminal — tracing energy’s path from raw resources to refined products.

⭕️Beyond labs and control rooms, the group explored Russian history: from Moscow’s VDNH and the Pushkin Museum to the Hermitage, Peterhof, and Tsarskoye Selo in St. Petersburg.

Energy, innovation, culture — this summer had it all. ASEAN young professionals, now it’s your turn: come and write the next chapter of your adventure in Russia.⭕️

The InteRussia fellowship in energy is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, UNECON, TV BRICS, Global Energy Association, CN CEPLA, REA by Russian Ministry of Energy, within the framework of the New Generation program of Rossotrudnichestvo and with the grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.

«Every day you don’t add at least a small piece of new knowledge to your education… consider it lost and gone forever», — Konstantin Stanislavski

These words echo through the halls of GITIS — and into the daily rhythm of our InteRussia fellows. One day, they search for the voice that lives in the breath. The next, they break down movement into meaning — studying Meyerhold’s biomechanics. Then comes silence and truth — in acting classes built on the legacy of the Russian stage.

Day by day, scene by scene, they’re not just learning a technique — they’re stepping into a tradition.

And somewhere between discipline and inspiration, you can feel it: the spirit of Stanislavski, alive in every line, every look, every black-and-white frame.

The InteRussia fellowship in theatre arts is implemented within the framework of the New Generation program of Rossotrudnichestvo and with the support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
