From MPEI side, there were Alexander Tarasov, MPEI Vice-Rector on International Relations, Turatbek Duishenaliev, MPEI Honorable Doctor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, professor of MPEI Department of "Robotics, Mechatronics, Dynamics and Machine Strength​", President of the Engineering Education Association of the Kyrgyz Republic, Elena Gulicheva Director on International Relations, Olga Kondratieva Head of the Engineering Ecology and Labour Safety Department, at the event. MPEI representatives shared with the Forum participants the experience of creating the Digital Educational Platform in Russian for the CIS, EAEU, SCO and BRICS citizens, as well as spoke about human resource innovations at MPEI and the work of the Engineering Ecology and Labour Safety Department.

Last December, at the Open Education Forum, MPEI presented its innovative educational project "Digital educational platform for implementation of open education courses for foreign citizens", which was subsequently included by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation in the collection of the best practices of Russian education in 2022. Thanks to winning a grant from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, MPEI developers were able to implement their idea by creating a digital educational platform www.digiteducation.ru. The platform combines training courses developed together with university professors and innovative approaches to learning. Now everyone who wants to get new and test their knowledge, as well as expand the set of competencies obtained at school and university, can do it with the help of presentations, educational videos, software and demonstration layouts, self-testing tests and technical glossary on the platform www.digiteducation.ru. The project continues its development: it is planned to expand the list of subjects, add new features and interactive models.

MPEI experience attracted participants’ attention who stressed the importance of developing educational institutions by creating and implementing new digital learning tools.

At the end of the Forum, the participants summed up the results of their work and identified priority tasks within their activities.
