Alexander Novak attends Russian Energy Week International Forum Youth Day

September 28, 2024

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak was on hand to take part in the Russian Energy Week International Forum Youth Day, which once again brought together schoolchildren, university students, and young fuel and energy industry specialists.

Youth Day included a special intellectual game – ‘Who Wants to Work in the Engineer Industry’ – co-hosted by Novak.

The game welcomed three teams of industry company heads and representatives and students from industry universities.

The oil and gas industry was represented by Gazprom Neft Management Board Chairman Alexander Dyukov and Industrial University of Tyumen first-year oil and gas business master’s student Maria Sivkova. The mining industry team consisted of Association Market Council Supervisory Board Member Vladimir Rashevsky and St. Petersburg Mining University fifth-year mining transport systems student Ilya Stepanov. Representing the electric power industry were Rosseti Executive Director and Management Board Chairman Andrey Ryumin and Moscow Power Engineering Institute first-year electrical engineering master’s student Yegor Sergeev.

The participants answered questions about the history of mining, the location of significant facilities in Russia and abroad, scientific discoveries, and the technological processes involved in energy production, among others.

The players got two lifelines – help from the audience and experts, who included the rectors of Russia’s top industry universities. The teams all managed to answer their seven questions and earn the maximum number of points.

The result was a tie, with all three teams bringing home the main prize: internships at Gazprom Neft, Association Market Council, and Rosseti for the students and internships with the Russian Government for the mentors.

“The power industry is incredibly advanced and is adopting cutting-edge digital technologies like nowhere else. So it is especially gratifying to see so many talented, enterprising schoolchildren, students, and young industry specialists – the future of the energy sector – here today. As you know, Russia is a global energy leader, and it is very important that we continue to be so,” Novak said.

At the end of the game, Novak handed out commemorative diplomas to the participants of professional oil and gas and energy industry competitions that included the Oil Industry IT Championship, the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, and the Russian Graduate Qualification Competition.
