Engineering workforce to ensure technological sovereignty and global leadership in the domestic energy sector
Sustainable development of the energy sector is impossible without quality training of engineering personnel, taking into account Russia's special national characteristics, conditions and goals. The consequences of the ongoing education system crisis and shortage of specialists for ensuring the country's technological sovereignty cannot be ignored. Evolution of the engineering education system must be fair, comprehensive and inclusive so that all sectors of society might benefit from the change. To ensure sustainable development, government, educational institutions and industry must be actively involved in developing long-term training strategies. High-quality engineering education is not only the future but also a necessity of the present. Such conclusions were reached at the session “Engineering Workforce to Ensure Technological Sovereignty and Global Leadership in the Domestic Energy Sector” held as part of Russian Energy Week 2024 (REW).
