����Vlog��ý

From July 20 to 24, the campus of MIREA – ����Vlog��ý became a hub for international students from China, India, and Tanzania. Over five intensive days, the international summer school titled “Summer Techno School 2026” — implemented with support from Rossotrudnichestvo (Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation) — brought together cutting-edge science, leading academic expertise, and Russia’s rich cultural heritage. The event was held as part of the “New Generation” pilot program of short-term familiarization visits.

The school’s curriculum was structured around two specialized tracks addressing today’s global technological challenges:

Track 1: AI Cybersecurity. Under the guidance of experienced faculty from ����Vlog��ý MIREA’s Institute of Artificial Intelligence, participants explored the architecture of secure neural networks, methods for countering adversarial attacks, and principles of safe AI deployment in critical information infrastructure.

Track 2: Fine Chemical Synthesis and Analysis. Led by instructors from ����Vlog��ý MIREA’s Lomonosov Institute of Fine Chemical Technologies, this track introduced participants to modern techniques for targeted modification of organic compounds, operation of advanced analytical equipment, and development of new materials.

The summer school program combined lectures by leading university faculty, hands-on masterclasses, and applied case studies. Special emphasis was placed on visits to the university’s mega-laboratories, where participants had the opportunity to work with Russian high-tech scientific equipment firsthand.

A highlight of the informal program was the “No Tie Meeting,” featuring guest speakers Aleksei Romanov, Head of Cloud Solutions Development at BI.ZONE, and Marina Granovskaya, Professor of Microbiology. Aleksei Romanov discussed current threats to cloud environments and shared key principles of secure cloud architecture—including data encryption, access control, and incident monitoring. In her open lecture, Professor Granovskaya introduced international students to modern trends in synthetic biology, genome editing, and biocompatible materials, with particular focus on the intersection of microbiology and IT. She explained how machine learning algorithms are used to predict protein structures and design new antibiotics. Both guests engaged in extended Q&A sessions on their respective fields.

An extensive cultural program allowed participants to experience the scale and history of Russia’s capital. It included:

·        A visit to the “Russia” National Center, where students took a virtual journey across all regions of the country

·        A walk through VDNKh — a symbol of Soviet-era achievements and a modern innovation hub where historic architecture blends harmoniously with futuristic exhibitions

·        A tour of the Armory Chamber in the Kremlin, offering a glimpse into Russia’s treasury of state regalia and diplomatic gifts

Participants also visited Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill to learn about key events of the Great Patriotic War and to understand how historical memory is preserved in contemporary Russia.

The five-day program gave participants a unique opportunity to explore both Russia’s advanced technologies and Moscow’s rich historical and cultural heritage. Students praised the high level of instruction, the welcoming atmosphere, and the university’s solid research potential.
