Skolkovo, the state-sponsored innovation hub under construction near Moscow, and Microsoft Russia established last week a “strategic partnership” for educational projects.
The first project concerns a so-called Skolkovo School to be built in the hub. Once the partnership has defined the project, a tender will be organized to implement it.
In addition, Skolkovo will take part in the Russian final of Imagine Cup 2011, the world’s premier student technology competition, hosted by Microsoft. The winning team will be offered free participation in Skolkovo’s open university summer school.
