The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology has launched its first academic year, the institute said Monday.
Skolkovo Tech president Edward Crawley kicked off the inaugural SkTech/MIT Innovation Workshop, an intensive four-week course. Skolkovo Tech's Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, designed the course specifically for Skolkovo Tech students to teach them how to bridge the gap between technological prowess and creating a broad impact.
From September, the students will spend an academic year abroad at one of four leading research universities — Imperial College in London, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology or MIT — before returning to Skolkovo Tech for the next two years of their program.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
