Intel® Teach to the Future
Intel® Teach to the Future was launched in Russia in November 2001. As of spring 2002, 200 teachers have been trained at two training centers located in Rostov-Don and Nizhny Novgorod. In two years, 10,000 schoolteachers will be trained through this program at ten training centers across the country.
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF)
High school students from Russia have taken part in Intel ISEF for the past four years, winning more than 40 different awards in this time. At this year's competition in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, 18 students presented 15 different projects in the fields of computer science, math, astronomy, and chemistry.
In addition to Intel ISEF, Intel supports many other competitions, ranging from school-oriented to research to educational projects. So far this year Intel has supported, among others:
- The Russian Olympiad of Computer Science, at which first-place winners were awarded Intel® Pentium® 4 processor-based PCs
- A wireless communications competition
- A systems programming curriculum competition
- Math and computer science competitions for high school students
- High school students from Russia have won over 40 awards at Intel ISEF in the last four years.
- 10,000 schoolteachers will participate in the Intel Teach to the Future program in Russia.
- Six Russian universities received equipment donations last year.

Intel supports higher education efforts in Russia in several ways. For example, Intel has donated equipment to Intel Focus Universities in EMEA. Equipment donations were given to more than ten universities, including Moscow State University (physics, mechanics and math, and chemistry departments) and Nizhny Novgorod State University. A new research student lab has opened in the computer science department of Moscow State University.
Intel also supports research programs in select Russian universities. Research projects that have been funded include the quantum computer, Bayesian networks and decision trees, computer vision, cluster computation, model-based compiler testing methodology, speech recognition.
Intel provides scholarships to computer science and math students of Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow State Universities.
