Moscow, November 24. - The creation of an educational and scientific laboratory for testing innovative technologies of small and medium-capacity solar power plants was the subject of an agreement signed by the Russian Energy Agency of the Ministry of Energy of Russia jointly with the Lomonosov Moscow State University Graduate School of Innovative Business, the University's Science Park and the non-profit partnership for the development of renewable energy "EUROSOLAR Russian Section". The document was signed by Ivan Ivanov, Deputy Director General of the REA of the Ministry of Energy of Russia, Dmitry Koshchug, Dean of the Higher School of Innovative Business, Oleg Movsesian, Director General of the Lomonosov Moscow State University Science Park, and George Kekelidze, Chairman of the Board of the NP EUROSOLAR Russian Section.
The parties to the agreement agreed to join forces to create an educational and scientific laboratory on the basis of the Lomonosov Moscow State University Science Park for the demonstration and testing of innovative technologies of small and medium-power solar power plants. The project is aimed at implementing the practical component of the professional retraining program "Master of Business Administration - Master of Business Administration (MBA) with specialization in the field of "Renewable energy and new technologies in energy", developed within the framework of cooperation between the REA of the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the Higher School of Innovative Business of Moscow State University. Lomonosov. Training on it will begin in January 2022.
The creation of the laboratory will allow students of the educational program, students of vocational educational institutions, students with engineering career guidance, residents and partners of the Science Park to gain practical experience in installing, managing energy systems, working with financial and economic models from microgeneration to submegawatt solar stations directly on the territory of Lomonosov Moscow State University.
The REA of the Ministry of Energy of Russia and NP "EUROSOLAR Russian Section" will provide organizational, methodological and informational assistance to the project, and will also help attract leading manufacturers of solar power plant equipment, engineering companies and development institutes to its implementation.
"The formation of human, scientific, technological potential, the implementation of pilot "green" projects, the testing and dissemination of the best international and domestic practices is an important direction in the framework of Russia's adaptation to the global energy transition and the movement towards carbon neutrality, the task of achieving which by 2060 was set by President Vladimir Putin. We hope that the joint MBA program of the REA of the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the Higher School of Innovative Business of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and the laboratory created on the basis of the University's Science Park will contribute to the development of the renewable energy sector and the movement of the Russian fuel and energy complex to the "energy of the future", – Ivan Ivanov commented on the signing of the agreement.
For reference: The professional retraining program "Master of Business Administration - Master of Business Administration (MBA) with specialization in the field of renewable energy and new technologies in the energy sector" was developed within the framework of the current cooperation agreement signed by the REA of the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the Higher School of Innovative Business of Moscow State University in June this year.
