Gubkin University Participates in Interactive Session on Developing Youth Projects for the Fuel and Energy Complex

On October 14, 2026, interactive sessions focused on creating youth-led projects for the development of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) and related sectors took place in Moscow as part of "Youth Day" at the "Russian Energy Week" International Forum.

Youth Day brought together school students, university students, and young professionals from Russia and abroad. The program featured activities dedicated to showcasing innovative developments, discussing the future of the energy sector, providing career guidance, and strengthening collaboration between young people, educational institutions, and industry representatives. The forum is organized by the Roscongress Foundation, with the "Reliable Shift" (Nadezhnaya Smena) Foundation serving as the operator for Youth Day.

During the interactive sessions, participants worked on project solutions for priority areas within the fuel and energy complex. The format involved teams developing projects and presenting them before an expert panel, which included representatives from industry companies, specialized educational institutions, and the scientific and public communities. Participating in these sessions allows students to present their own ideas, receive expert feedback, and hone their project management and development skills.

In the "Technological Projects" track for the "University Students" category, a project titled "Modernization of Heat Supply Systems Using Mine Water" was presented. Gubkin University was represented at the event by members of the Student Scientific Society—students from group BE-23-01 of the Faculty of International Energy Business: Polina Yuryeva, Shakhzoda Akhmedova, Sofya Garafieva, Yulia Artemyeva, Viktoria Rekshinskaya, Elizaveta Kranina, and Lyubov Kranozhen. The project explores the potential for using mine water as a source of low-grade heat for heating systems, utilizing heat pumps.

Participation in an interactive session at the "Russian Energy Week" International Forum provided an opportunity to present the project initiative to a professional audience, gain insight into approaches for developing technological solutions for the fuel and energy sector, and engage in discussions on industry-specific challenges with experts. The event also helped students develop interdisciplinary skills and strengthened the link between their academic training and the current needs of the energy sector.

The presentation of members of the Gubkin University Student Scientific Society (SSS) at external venues is carried out as part of the university’s SSS development program, titled "Strategy for New Discoveries."
