Annual Gathering of Gazprom Classes’ pupils takes place in St. Petersburg

The Sixth Annual Gathering of Gazprom Classes' pupils from across Russia took place in St. Petersburg. The event brought together 150 boys and girls aspiring for careers in the oil and gas industry.

For several days, the young people taking part in the event were immersed in research activities together with their mentors from among the Gazprom Group employees and the teachers from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (one of Gazprom's anchor universities). The participants of the Gathering divided into teams to prepare their own projects focused on solving practical tasks. For instance, the projects focused on such areas of activities as operating gas trunklines and compressor stations, energy saving, ensuring industrial safety, as well as using artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks for automation in complex industrial processes.

The pupils have demonstrated well-coordinated teamwork and a high level of knowledge, which was acquired, inter alia, in terms of additional educational programs offered at Gazprom Classes. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University hosted the presentations on the projects delivered by the teens.

Lectures and master classes on the development of personal competencies, digital modeling, cybersecurity of information systems, and business economics were organized for the participants of the Gathering. The pupils of Gazprom Classes were also invited to visit a compressor station of Gazprom Transgaz Saint Petersburg and learned about the operation of the facility.
