SCAMT Workshop Week (SWW) is a unique format of summer school. During the Workshop, you will make your own project in one of the most modern fields of natural sciences, IT and nanotechnologies.

In just 1 week you will upgrade your practical skills within the framework of a research project «from idea to result» and also learn about promising areas of nanotechnology, improve your soft skills and meet a big community of people in love with science from all over Russia.

How is the workshop organized?

From Monday to Friday, you work with a team led by a mentor on a scientific project, attend lectures and workshops, and in the evenings you get to know and hang out with participants from other projects.
On Saturday, you and your team present the results of your project to other participants.

Cannot imagine how it works?

The workshop will be in 3-in-1 format. We will have projects from 3 tracks. 

 

Experimental track

In the projects from this track you will spend the most time in the lab. If you want to get practical hands-on experience, choose one of the experimental projects.

Digital track

Создай магнитную паутину
You have heard that IT and AI are firmly established in all areas of science, haven't you? Do you want to try to combine them with biology or chemistry? Choose a digital track.

Industrial track

Создай магнитную паутину
Applied projects attract you more than fundamental ones? Do you want to learn how to create something new and sell it to the market? Choose the industrial track.

Many projects offer cooperation after the workshop: internship in the laboratory, bringing the project to a scientific paper or to an investment proposal. Check project descriptions for details.

opportunities after workshop

Internship at SCAMT
A scientific paper publication (on the Workshop results)
Development of the idea to a MVP product
An opportunity to enter the master’s program without exams

Projects

Each SWW project is unique - read the descriptions carefully to choose wisely. You can apply maximum for 3 projects, but participate in just one, cause, unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day.


The projects of the experimental track are in white frames, the digital ones are in yellow and the industrial ones are in pink.
