From Around the World to Siberia: Engineers' Journey Begins ⭐️

This week, a new chapter began at Novosibirsk State University — the official launch of the InteRussia fellowship for young engineers from Albania, Bangladesh, Belarus, Chile, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Serbia, Tanzania, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan specializing in AI in Medicine and Modern Quantum and Information Technologies in Electronics and Photonics.

In just a few days, our fellows have already begun exploring Siberia and its research ecosystem. Their first week included:

🔻a visit to the Technopark of Novosibirsk Akademgorodok to explore innovation hubs and scientific centers;

🔻a walking tour through Akademgorodok;

🔻and an excursion to the Institute of Cytology and Genetics, where they discovered groundbreaking advancements in genetics and medicine, as well as had the chance to get up close and personal with some of the amazing animals.

What’s Next?

Over the course of the month, the fellows will participate in advanced training modules, attend expert-led workshops, and dive into lab-based research alongside leading scientists. They’ll also work on projects, connect with local researchers, and present their findings at the end of the program.

The InteRussia program in engineering is implemented with the support from the Presidential Grants Foundation and World Youth Festival Directorate.

Chekhov treated over a thousand patients for free — and wrote masterpieces between house calls

Anton Pavlovich never stopped being a doctor — not even when he was writing The Seagull or planting cherry trees. During his years in Melikhovo, he ran a clinic for local peasants, treated villagers without charge, and still found time to craft stories that would change Russian literature forever.

📌 Last weekend, our Russian language fellows followed his footsteps — quite literally — during a visit to the Chekhov estate in Melikhovo.

At the exhibition “Dear, Most Honorable… Home!”, they explored rare archival treasures and family relics usually hidden from public view. They visited the wing where The Seagull was written 130 years ago, stood in the school where Chekhov taught village children, and watched the fields where he once grew potatoes and ideas side by side.

And yes — they rubbed the shiny noses of Hina and Brom, his legendary bronze dachshunds (because who could resist?).
