As part of the social and educational project “Deeptech of the Brain,” 150 young specialists in neurotechnology will be trained in Russia. The project winners will have the opportunity to visit leading technological biolaboratories in China and Russia. The program is being implemented by the Russian Neiry Group in collaboration with its partners.
“Deeptech of the Brain” is an educational initiative for students in grades 8–11 and university students in their 1st–3rd years. The goal of the program is to help participants create their first deeptech project — from concept development to investor presentation. Students will learn to analyze markets, build hypotheses, and turn theoretical scientific knowledge into socially significant neurotechnology projects.
“Since 2018, we at Neiry have been studying brain activity and learning from our Chinese and American colleagues to create useful products for medicine, sports, industrial safety, and other fields. Our project ‘Deeptech of the Brain’ is a social mission — we want to pass on our experience to the younger generation because the future belongs to them. Who knows — perhaps one day, thanks to our students’ projects, we will learn how to completely eliminate epilepsy or Alzheimer’s disease using neurotechnologies,” said Alexander Panov, Head of the Neiry Group.
Applications for the program are open until October 6. Candidates will go through a selection stage and write an essayon the future of the neurotechnology world. Based on the submissions, an expert committee will select 150 participants, who will begin an intensive educational module in mid-October — featuring lectures, workshops, and mentoring sessions with industry leaders. The program will conclude in December with project presentations before top specialists of the neurotechnology industry.
Among the program’s mentors are Mikhail Lebedev, a leading Russian and international neurotechnologist who has trained co-founders and researchers of Neuralink, and Vasily Popkov, PhD in Biological Sciences and Head of the Invasive Neurointerface Laboratory at the MSU Institute of Artificial Intelligence.
The “Deeptech of the Brain” program aligns with the national course toward technological leadership approved by the President of the Russian Federation until 2030. The project also strengthens international cooperation with China, providing young specialists with access to advanced laboratories and the global market. Such initiatives lay the groundwork for sustainable technological sovereignty and reinforce Russia’s position on the world stage.
