Vladislav Efimov, Head of the Board of Directors of JSC RusHydro said: «I am glad to notice that the great number of alumni showed their willingness to participate in the competitions after our meeting with teachers, pupils and their parents. I hope there were a lot of would-be power engineers among the winners of the competitions». After the negotiations between Siberian Federal University and Evenkia Education Department, both parties decided to send the SibFU Faculty to Evenkia once again this summer. Vladislav Efimov promised that JSC RusHydro will render all necessary financial support. Valentin M. Zhouravlev, Vice-Rector, Director, Institute of Undergraduate Core Programmes said: «The University is aimed at establishing direct communications links with employers of potential SibFU alumni and companies like JSC RusHydro which invest in and develop Evenkia».

It is necessary to recall that JSC RusHydro in association with St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University and Siberian Federal University put forward an initiative to realize the education project on the territory of Krasnoyarsk Krai within the framework of the long-term complex charity programme called «A sail of hope». The education project is dedicated to reveal and support talented school graduates, students and young scientists who are willing to work in the field of hydroenergetics.

This year JSC RusHydro decided to make financial support on a priority basis to the best Evenkia school graduates during admission campaign in the Universities.
