Wroclaw University of Technology (Politechnika Wrocchawska) is an old partner of MPEI where in current 2016 two new programs: Erasmus + (short-term mobility of students and staff) and Two diplomas program were started. 

During the visit meetings with all staff of International Department involved in the above-mentioned programs were organized. So mechanisms of program implementation between two Universities were corrected and arrangements on the program implementation in 2017 were prolonged.

In spite of the fact that the European Commission made the decision concerning the retrenchment of the mobility for Poland financed by the EU within the Erasmus + program in 2017, Wroclaw University of Technology intends to continue its active participation in this program in partnership with MPEI. 

There was organized a meeting with MPEI students and Ph.D.-students who are trained now at Wroclaw University of Technology upon the Erasmus + program. There are 7 students and Ph.D.- students from Institute of Electrical Power Engineering, Institute of Automatics and Computer Engineering, Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, Institute of Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering and Smolensk branch.

There were discussed the current issues and there were found their solutions. In general, all MPEI students are glad with implementation of the program and they consider the participation in the Erasmus + program to be very useful opportunity to improve their competencies. 

A meeting with the coordinator of the two diplomas program Eva Mrochek took place there. The difficulties were discussed and considered during the implementation of the program, and the algorithm for their solution was developed.

There took place a meeting with the deputy dean on international cooperation of Electric Engineering Department prof. Robert Liss. There was shown the interest of PPS Department in development of joint educational programs with financial support from the EU in the following areas:
