Visit of the Administration of the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Electrification of the National Research University ‘Moscow Power Engineering Institute’

On 19 April 2023 the administration of the Institute of Institute of Electrical Engineering and Electrification of the National Research University ‘Moscow Power Engineering Institute’ visited the Izolyator Group.

Institute of Electrical Engineering and Electrification of the National Research University ‘Moscow Power Engineering Institute’ (IEEE of MPEI) was created in 1998 on the basis of two oldest MPEI departments rich in tradition — Electromechanical department and Electrical Equipment and Automation of Industry and Transport department. At IEEE there are bachelors and masters trained in two fields of study: ‘Electrical Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering’ and ‘Electronics and Nanoelectronics’, and Candidates of Sciences and Doctors of Science with 6 scientific specializations. National Research University ‘Moscow Power Engineering Institute’ is the one from the largest technical universities of Russia. It provides the specialist’s training and scientific research in the field of energetic, electrical engineering, radio electronics, computer engineering.

The IEEE administration visited the museum of the Izolyator Group and the production site of high-voltage insulating equipment. A set of issues related to the celebration of the upcoming anniversary of IEEE was also discussed.
