MEPhI has summed up the results of three All-Russian Student Olympiads in the following areas: “Automatics, electronics and nanostructured electronics”, "Engineering and physical technologies of biomedicine" and "Information security".

Opening the ceremony of awarding the winners of Olympiads, the head of the joint organizing committee of MEPhI Olympiads A.M. Maslennikov noted the growing interest of students in these thematic areas. This year, 325 students from 60 universities took part in three All-Russian Student Olympiads. Welcoming the participants of the Olympiad, the state secretary of JSC "Roselectronics" A.V. Brykin wished them to effectively develop further, find their way in life and apply skills in specific jobs.

A professor at the Czech Technical University in Prague and Institute of Engineering Physics for Biomedicine, the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI Anton Fojtik stressed the importance of the Olympiad on engineering and physical technologies of biomedicine. "This Olympiad is important because it gives you the opportunity to demonstrate and improve your level of knowledge in this direction," the professor addressed the students.

The President of the Association for information security, Chairman of Regional Academic Methodological Association of Higher Education in the field of information security in the Central Federal district V.P. Los expressed a great need for specialists in information security: "The Olympiad, which is being held not the first year in the MEPhI, contributes to the high quality of training of such specialists."
