Schmidt Peter, Director of the Teacher Training Center of the Chamber of Crafts:
- At the moment we do not interact with MEPhI, but a year has been cooperating with the Rosatom State Corporation, and what was presented today is the result of joint work. Although the transfer of the German model to Russia or Rosatom is difficult, there are elements that can be taken and implemented in the education system of Rosatom, and this requires support at the scientific level.
Official representative of Germany World Skills in Russia, the head of the international educational programs of the educational and technological Center of the Chamber of Crafts Kerstin Seise:
- If we understood correctly, MEPhI is a fundamental institution for the development of competencies in Rosatom, a scientific partner of the State Corporation in this area. Rosatom is a very large, large corporation that is in constant development, and MEPhI can accompany it as a scientific partner, so that any new processes are at a very high level.
