Happy Teacher's Day! ⚡️

As autumn leaves begin to fall, Russia turns its attention to a very special group of people. Today, October 5th, is Teacher's Day – a celebration of the men and women who dedicate their lives to education.

This holiday has been observed in Russia since 1965, initially on the first Sunday of October. In 1994, it was officially moved to October 5th to align with World Teachers' Day. It's a day when students, both past and present, express their gratitude to teachers through kind words, flowers, and small gifts.

For us in the InteRussia program, this day holds a special significance. It's a chance to recognize not only school teachers but also the professional mentors who've guided our fellows through the fellowship.

Share with us about the person who became your greatest teacher during your programme. Let's celebrate these unsung heroes who helped shape your professional journey!

Inside the Engineers' Siberian Routine 💡

What if your workday meant exploring nanomaterials, stepping inside a quantum lab, spotting rare animals — and cruising down a Siberian river by sunset?

For our InteRussia engineers, that’s just another week at Novosibirsk State University. Here, the boundaries between labs, classrooms, and the real world are blurred — because innovation doesn’t sit still.

So what does a “regular” day look like?

⭐️ Hands-on experiments at the Analytical and Technological Research Center, where fellows got up close with cutting-edge nanosystems and learned how multicomponent materials are actually synthesized.

⭐️ A deep dive into the Quantum Technologies Lab, where future-forward communication systems and quantum breakthroughs are born.

⭐️ A visit to the Federal Center for Neurosurgery, where fellows saw how high-precision engineering is transforming patient care and neurosurgical solutions.

⭐️ An excursion to the Novosibirsk Zoo — because even engineers need a recharge.

And the best part? We’re only halfway through.

More labs, more discoveries, more collaboration — and a few surprises — are still ahead. Stay tuned as our fellows keep building, connecting, and redefining what it means to be an engineer in the 21st century.

Engineering, Meteorites, and Cossack Legends. Week 3 Recap from Novosibirsk 🪐

What do cutting-edge telecom systems, billion-year-old rocks, and horseback riding have in common? They all shaped the third week of the InteRussia fellowship in engineering — a journey that keeps pushing boundaries of learning and culture.

Let’s rewind the highlights:

🔗At Eltex, Russia’s largest telecom equipment producer, the fellows got an inside look at how high-tech systems are born — from blueprint to launch.

🔗At NSU’s Earth Evolution Center, they journeyed through time: from deep planetary layers to prehistoric fossils and meteorites that once lit up Earth’s skies.

🔗At the Cossack Ostrog Cultural Center, they experienced a day in the life of a Cossack — horseback riding, rifle practice, knife throwing, and tea in a traditional village house.

🔗At the Novosibirsk Planetarium, they traveled beyond Earth, exploring how space science and technology bring the universe a little closer to home.

Each stop this week reminded us: engineering isn’t just about machines — it’s about discovering how the world works, from the ground beneath our feet to the cosmos above.

No lab coats, no stethoscopes — just code that learns what’s happening inside your head

The InteRussia AI track in Novosibirsk wrapped up with two full-fledged research projects. Both teams worked on ways to apply artificial intelligence to the analysis of brain pathologies — from tumors to tissue damage.

What they worked on

Split into international teams, they explored how neural networks can process thousands of brain images — detecting tumors, degenerative lesions, and damaged tissue. Their models aimed to support doctors in identifying affected areas faster and more accurately.

Each InteRussia fellowship ends differently. This one ended with working code, a sharper understanding of medical AI, and a shared sense of purpose.
