On September 22–23, 2026, the regional program of the BRICS International School: New Generation will take place in Nizhny Novgorod. The event will be hosted at the Atomic Energy Information Center.

The program is organized by the BRICS Expert Council-Russia and the Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation. The partners of the event include the Atomic Energy Information Center, Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named after R.E. Alekseev, and HSE University-Nizhny Novgorod.

The regional program in Nizhny Novgorod will become part of the BRICS International School: New Generation ecosystem and, this time, will focus on issues of energy cooperation and sustainable development among BRICS countries.
"The energy of youth is the very resource that can give a new impetus to global industry processes. Nizhny Novgorod has historically been a center of industrial achievements: it is from here that the great inventor Ivan Kulibin hails, who embodied in his designs the idea that bold thought can change reality. Here, in the capital of the Volga region, two powerful vectors of development converge: the technological potential of the industry and the creative energy of a new generation of leaders. The ideas of young people are the future, and our goal is to provide young professionals with the tools they need to shape the BRICS energy cooperation agenda and offer solutions that meet the challenges of the time."

Head of the BRICS Expert Council-Russia
During the two-day program, participants will discuss key areas of energy cooperation among BRICS countries, the role of innovative technologies in ensuring sustainable development, and prospects for international cooperation in the energy sector. The program will include lectures by leading experts, workshops, educational activities, and networking opportunities.

●the role of BRICS in shaping the contemporary system of international relations;
●development of energy cooperation among BRICS countries;
●activities of the BRICS Energy Research Cooperation Platform;
