STEM Fellows Complete Their Journey at Skoltech 🧠

This September, the InteRussia STEM fellowship concluded at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, bringing together young professionals from 12 countries — Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Vietnam, India, China, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, Serbia, Türkiye, and South Africa.

From Ideas to Prototypes through a Month of Immersive Learning:

🤔 At the heart of the program was Skoltech’s Innovation Workshop — an intensive bootcamp where participants worked in teams, developed technological solutions, and presented their projects before an expert jury.

Several winning teams — three in total — featured our InteRussia fellows among their members!

🤔 The fellows visited VK’s headquarters, Moscow State Technological University STANKIN, and Astra Group, one of Russia’s leading software developers.

🤔 Outside the labs, they explored Russia’s cultural heritage — from a sightseeing tour of Moscow and a visit to the National Center “Russia” to discovering how tradition and innovation coexist in the country’s modern life.

The journey ended, but the ideas, friendships, and shared passion for innovation will keep moving forward.

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.

The Ones Who Spark the Mind 💡

Today, Russia celebrates Teacher’s Day — a moment to honor those who dedicate their lives to curiosity, discovery, and the subtle art of helping others see the world differently. From classrooms to research labs, their impact reaches far beyond lessons — it shapes how we think, question, and explore.

At InteRussia, we see mentorship as one of the most powerful forms of diplomacy. Every fellow, every project, and every idea begins with someone who believed, guided, and shared their knowledge. Teachers are not just educators — they’re the spark that turns curiosity into confidence, and potential into purpose.

💛 Share what you’re grateful for your InteRussia mentors in the comments! By tradition, we’ll start: thank you for teaching us to find meaning, seek answers, and embrace mistakes without fear.
