OREANDA-NEWS. The main objective of the event is the formation of a reserve of new engineering personnel to ensure the competitiveness of the state, its technological and economic independence. Experts and speakers of the forum’s educational platforms are heads of federal and regional government bodies, representatives of big business, famous scientists and presidents of leading universities of the country. The work of the forum is organized by thematic sections, tied to the current tasks of the national economy, including energy. The intellectual centre of the forum is the interactive space of scientific and technical laboratories and classes, where gifted schoolchildren solve applied engineering problems proposed by experts of Russian enterprises. Leading companies and research centres presented their latest developments and inventions to the young talents.

Specially for the forum, IDGC of Centre’s specialists proposed a case for the development of a power supply project for a remote facility using various energy sources and development of distributed generation technologies. According to the power engineers, this technology is a promising direction, and the creation of a local power system based on distributed generation in some cases can confidently compete with the construction or expansion of grid infrastructure. Within two days, gifted schoolchildren - winners of skills competitions, contests in the field of scientific and technical creativity and natural sciences, solved the assigned task from the energy field. During the solution of the case, the young participants of the forum received rating scores, which allowed to identify the best. Final critical design review of the project took place on 4 September.

"The forum is a kind of a bridge between gifted children and modern companies that need highly qualified and initiative staff. The future of Russia directly depends on the forum’s participants. Our goal is to support the talented young people who will have to take an active part in the formation of a new Society in a rapidly changing world," stressed the head of IDGC of Centre and IDGC of Centre and Volga Region Oleg Isaev.

The delegation of IDGC of Centre headed by General Director of the company Oleg Isaev visited the V All-Russian Forum "Future Intellectual Leaders of Russia", which has been held annually in Yaroslavl by the order of the President of the Russian Federation since 2013. This year the forum was held from 1 to 4 September in the building of the ice arena "Arena - 2000. Lokomotiv".
