Molecular Electronics Research Institute took part in a government project «University shifts»

The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, together with the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the Russian Children's and Youth Movement, has launched a new season of the University Shifts project. As part of the project, 50 universities affiliated with the Russian Ministry of Education and Science host students aged 14 to 17. This year, the geography of the event has been expanded, and it is planned that about 14,000 people will participate from June to September.

Each University Shift lasts for ten days and includes three blocks: career guidance, thematic, and cultural and educational. The career guidance block will introduce teenagers to the country's universities and the professions they offer. MERI’s employees took part in this project based on Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology. As part of participation in the project, MERI’s employees organized for 50 schoolchildren from the Zaporozhye region an intellectual game, a quiz on the topic "Microelectronics" and a tour of the MERI laboratories.

"Science and technology are one of the main values of MERI. We are a leading Russian scientific and engineering school in the field of micro- and nanoelectronics, which represents domestic high technologies in the global market and scientific environment. It is very important for the development of science and technology, society, and our country to pass on these values to the younger generation and to raise a truly worthy successor. Our colleagues, who are recent students and now young and promising scientists, are eager and proactive in teaching students about microelectronics, sharing their knowledge, and inspiring them to pursue a career in science, "- said Andrey Kriventsev, Design engineer of the 2nd category at MERI.
