In July, a delegation from the HSZG visited the Energy Institute to discuss future cooperation opportunities.

On July 4 and 5, a delegation from Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (Prof. Wolfgang Kästner, Institute for Process Engineering, Process Automation, and Measurement Technology; Prof. Stefan Kornhuber, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; Prof. Tino Schütte, Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering; and Prof. Uwe Schmidt, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) visited the Moscow Energy Institute (Московский Энергетический Институт / МЭИ) with the aim of reestablishing long-standing contacts and, in particular, resuming student and academic exchanges.

The representatives from Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences were received by the delegation

Prof. Tulsky—Acting Director of the Institute of Electric Power Engineering

Prof. Sergey V. Serebryannikov—Head of the Department of Physics and Technology of Electrotechnical Materials and Components

Prof. Alex Dedov—Head of the Institute of Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering

Prof. Sergey I. Khrenov—Head of the Department of High Voltage and Physics

Prof. Natalia Ketoeva - Head of the Department of Management in Power Engineering and Industry

Ms. Elena Gulicheva – Deputy Head of the Department of International Relations

Mr. R. Alexander Tarasov – Head of the Department of International Relations

were welcomed. During the two-day discussions, key areas of education and research, potential opportunities for cooperation, and next steps were discussed.

The MEI was founded in 1930 and was granted the status of a technical university in 2000. In particular, the university has maintained successful ties with German universities and colleges for decades, and this year the MPEI is celebrating the 50th anniversary of German-Russian relations with various activities. Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, comprising the Zittau University of Engineering and the Zittau University of Applied Sciences, can also look back on a successful collaboration, which is to be continued through various activities across departments and faculties.

The delegation’s trip was graciously supported by funds from the SMWK (initiative budget).
