SPITSE Symposium 2015

NEW! Final Programme of the Conference is available!

History

The project SPITSE is the trilateral Strategic Partnership of engineering science departments of Ilmenau University of Technology (Germany), St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI" (Russia), and the National Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute" (Russia) for joint education and research.

The project SPITSE was launched in March 2013 and has been implemented with a support of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

The International Scientific Symposium "Sense. Enable. SPITSE." is the main annual event of the Strategic Partnership. The Symposium combines a Scientific Conference and a Summer School for young researchers.

The first SPITSE Symposium was held in Ilmenau in July 2014 and manifested the tremendous progress in the development of the Strategic Partnership. About 70 papers were presented at the Sсientific Conference, including 17 invited ones.
