Engineering in practice ⚙️

Innovation, learning and a chance to discover one of Russia's leading scientific hubs — that's what awaited the InterRussia engineering fellows in Novosibirsk. Over the past few days, they explored cutting-edge technologies, met industry experts and experienced the city's unique cultural side.

During their fellowship in Novosibirsk, InterRussia participants visited the ELTEX Company, where they learned how one of Russia's leading telecom equipment manufacturers develops and produces networking solutions.

The group also spent time at the Advanced Engineering School of Novosibirsk State University (NSU), discovering how research, education and industry come together to train the next generation of engineers.

Though, it wasn't all about lectures and technology. The participants also explored some of Novosibirsk's most iconic attractions, including the city's Planetarium and the famous Zoo — a great chance to unwind, get to know the city and spend time together outside the classroom.

A week full of new knowledge, inspiring conversations and unforgettable experiences! 🚀

The InteRussia Fellowship in Engineering is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation the Gorchakov Fund, Novosibirsk State University, the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Akadempark within the framework of the New Generation program of Rossotrudnichestvo and with the support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.

Unexpected Twist: Archaeologists at a Nuclear Reactor ❓

Interussia archaeology participants visited the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics in Dubna. The laboratory is one of the scientific divisions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), an international research center bringing together scientists from around the world to conduct studies in nuclear physics and related fields.

During the visit, the fellows were given a lecture on the operation of a nuclear reactor and learned how neutron-based research methods are used to study archaeological artifacts. These techniques allow scientists to analyze the composition and structure of objects without damaging them, providing valuable insights into their origin, age and history.

The group also visited the office of the laboratory’s first director, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ilya Frank, whose pioneering work laid the foundation for many of the institute’s scientific achievements.

The highlight of the visit was a guided tour of the reactor itself, where participants had the opportunity to see the facility close and learn more about the technologies that support both fundamental science and interdisciplinary research.

The trip offered a unique perspective on how advanced nuclear physics tools can contribute to the study and preservation of cultural heritage ☢️
