The Arctic is in Fokus. "Industrial electrical engineering and special materials-2019"
On October 24, 2019, the science and practice conference «Industrial Electrical Engineering and Special Materials: Industry Challenges and Technological Breakthroughs» was held at the headquarters of SST Group in Mytishchi, Moscow Region, Russia. Professionals from Russia's oil and gas companies and leading universities of technology, engineering companies met to discuss the technological transformation of the oil and gas complex and using composite materials and electric heating systems for a sustainable development of the Arctic. Arctic is scope-in program of Russian scientific and technological development. Strategies for the development and modernization of the region for 10 - 15 years are being actively developed. Mr. Michael Strupinsky, President of SST Group, comments: «We are talking about difficult, one might say, the extreme scientific and technical problems that we are facing today. The Arctic with temperatures up to minus 60 - 70 °C and the lack of qualified services pose many challenges. Only 2,5 million people are living in the Artic, and this region covers a half-worldsized. The Arctic is a white desert. Living and working in the desert is not so easy. The technologies which we supply are critically important for the Arctic». The conference was organized by SST Group, the largest in Russia and the second-largest producer of heating cables and electric heating systems in the world, the National Research University MPEI, Russian Academy of Electrical Engineering, Intersectoral Engineering Center Composites Materials of Bauman MSTU.
