The Foundation for Infrastructure and Educational Programs announced the launch of the 3rd All-Russian Engineering Competition in the field of nanotechnology for students and postgraduates "VIC.Nano 2017". Its participants will present projects in the most promising technological industries – alternative energy, additive technologies, composite materials and thin-film coatings, biotechnologies, as well as offer solutions to real problems facing nanoindustry companies.
Applications are accepted until October 1, 2017. For the first time, the Foundation held a VIC competition.Nano in 2015. Its goal is to involve students and young professionals in the nanoindustry, to create additional mechanisms of interaction between technology companies and universities.
"The VIC competition.Nano allows its participants to compare their ideas with the practice of innovative companies, to test their projects for strength. In turn, this is a great opportunity for nanoindustry enterprises to get to know their potential employees, and the best of the best, those who really want to become a nanotechnology engineer," said RUSNANO Chief Scientist, member of the Foundation's Board Sergey Kalyuzhny, speaking at a meeting dedicated to the launch of the competition.
The meeting was attended by a member of the working group of NTI "Energinet" Igor Chausov, CEO of the company "Own Energy" Nikolay Driga, Partner of the FPI Venture Fund Ilya Rodin, representatives of more than 40 Russian universities.
Potential participants of the competition should upload applications on the VIC.Nano website. Among them, experts will select about 15 finalists who will perform in a full-time round in December.
