Spring Meeting of BRICS Network University International Thematic Group on Energy

On March 13, 2024, there was the regular, spring meeting of the BRICS Network University (BRICS NU) International Thematic Group on Energy to clarify work plans for 2024. The meeting was attended by BRICS NU coordinators from universities in India, South Africa, China and Russia.

At the meeting the initiative of Russian universities – members of the ITG to organize a permanent scientific seminar "Foundations for a Green Sustainable Energy" was announced. This online seminar should be held alternately on the basis of one of the universities. Its goal is to attract Ph.D.-students and young scientists from BRICS universities to exchange experience on broad issues of green sustainable energy with further organization of international cooperation within the framework of the BRICS Network University. The topic of each specific workshop will allow gathering scientists working on similar issues and will initiate the dialog of stakeholders.

As a first step, MPEI proposes to organize the first workshop in April 2024 on Microgrid structure and operation.

In the near future, the universities participating in the ITG will collect a list of topics for the seminars and discuss the schedule of their organization for the coming year.
