Anton Tyukov, a representative of the EnergyNet community, presented the Energy EduNet initiative, which aims to support cooperation in the energy sector, organize educational and research projects aimed at developing technologies in the energy sector, such as smart grids, energy storage, cybersecurity, etc. The presentation focused on the creation of a joint network of BRICS-EDUNET experts, as well as on the need for international and national cooperation within the framework of the BRICS countries to solve common energy problems. Anton invited the participants to join the initiative and support its development.

The First Element project bridges the gap between education and the real world through engineering competitions, in particular hydrogen-powered car races. The project develops skills in areas such as electrical engineering, programming and teamwork, creating an ecosystem for various stakeholders (schools, the public, industry). The project includes regional, national and international competitions. The goal is to create a BRICS league within a year.

EnergyNetLab is an international network of scientific and educational laboratories dealing with intelligent distributed energy systems. It cooperates with universities and companies to train engineers in the field of energy, aligning training with the needs of the industry. The laboratories offer the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in practice and are proposed as permanent BRICS platforms for the exchange of knowledge and methodologies.

INGIR Summer Schools combine case championships with design training for engineering students, especially in the energy, IT and hydrogen sectors. Possible options for cooperation: sending student teams, joining as a partner or organizing similar camps in other BRICS countries. The goal is to promote international exchange and cooperation in the field of energy education and projects.

Stanislav Yaroshenko from Ural Federal University spoke about the university's role in energy education. The University is actively involved in the EnergyNet network and is a competence center for the development of artificial intelligence-based solutions for energy. Yaroshenko noted the need to create multidisciplinary specialists who should combine knowledge in the field of energy and information technology. He proposed to change educational programs by adding disciplines on machine learning and cybersecurity in the energy sector. The university has developed a master's program that includes these online courses. The program is implemented in Russian and English, and the university is open for cooperation with other universities and companies.

Elizaveta Evshchik from the Competence Center for New and Mobile Energy Sources of the Federal Research Center for Problems of Chemical Physics and Medical Chemistry presented courses on chemical energy sources and hydrogen energy. Her center develops technologies for lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and other energy sources. The key features of the courses are their modularity and adaptability. They are designed for students and professionals of various levels and include topics such as electrolytic energy sources, materials science, electrochemistry and device safety.

Igor Chausov proposed the organization of an international educational course on hydrogen energy and hydrogen industry practices. This year, the first hydrogen building was built on Sakhalin and four pilot projects on hydrogen energy were launched. The course will cover both technical and economic aspects of hydrogen technologies, including their use in various sectors such as transport and energy. The issues of hydrogen energy architecture, logistics and security will also be considered. He proposed the joint development of the course with participants from the BRICS countries.

Anton Tyukov presented information about the Competence Center for the Common Information Model (CIM). CIM is a standard for modeling high-voltage energy systems at the physical, technical and information levels. The Center has successfully created a CIM course, which includes modules for various specialists (IT, managers, engineers). This course meets international standards and allows you to create digital counterparts of autonomous hybrid energy systems. Tyukov proposed the creation of an international CIM competence center and joint courses for CIM specialists to improve electrical networks.
