Agenda

• Virtuoso

• Project contributors

“Local brain drain” in Russia

• There are many software development companies in Russia who hire a lot of high-tech professionals from various Russian cities, not only from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nizhniy Novgorod

• As a result, high-tech professionals migrate to Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nizhniy Novgorod

• Unlike Moscow and St. Petersburg, in local universities there are not many good teachers. On the other hand, big percentage of “local work migrants” work for universities before they relocate to Moscow / St. Petersburg. So, “local brain drain” also means “academic brain drain”, and it will result in dramatic deterioration of quality of education in local Russian universities

• The question: will it be possible to hire programmers from Russian non-capital cities in 5 years?

Project Virtuoso

• Initiated by Intel– An idea was born in March 2004– The first pilot project has been successfully conducted

in August-December 2004– The second pilot project will be conducted in August-December

2005– If the second pilot is successful, we will make the project

Virtuoso regular

• Organized by Nizhniy Novgorod State University– The Computer Science Faculty– The Continued Education Faculty

• Supported by Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Kaspersky Lab, Borland, etc…


5

An Idea

• University of Nizhniy Novgorod (UNN) with Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Kaspersky Lab, Borland and some other world-known high-tech companies conduct joint internship program in the fall semesters of years 2004/2005

• The program is targeting best PhD students and young associated professors from various CIS universities - those who have strong English, good knowledge on computer science and industrial experience

• These guys relocate to Nizhniy Novgorod for one semester• During this “academic internship” program they attend various

courses on software engineering. These courses are provided by project sponsors and cover most areas of ACM/IEEE Computing Curricula: Software Engineering

• Program participants are also involved into short-term projects at Intel and get real-life experience

• After program completion these guys are to return to their cities and bring their expertise to local universities


6

Virtuoso-2004

• 9 PhD students and associated professors from various Russian and Ukrainian universities

• August-December 2004• Project participants have attended various

courses provided by Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Kaspersky Lab and Borland

• Project participants have gotten a real-life experience at Intel Nizhniy Novgorod Lab

• Project participants have also developed a new courseware on software engineering


7

Innovations in this project…

• …internship program that targets not students but professors…

• …new curricula development that is based on the newest standard ACM/IEEE Computing Curricula 2004: Software Engineering…

• …Microsoft conducts TTT (Train The Trainer) for their new course on Visual Basic…

• …Intel conducts TTT (Train The Trainer) for the new course on UML …

• …Borland conducts ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), UML 2.0 and J2EE QuickStarts …


8

Virtuoso-2005

• 15-30 PhD students and associated professors from various Russian, Ukrainian and Byelorussian universities

• August-December 2005• Project participants will attend various courses

provided by Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Kaspersky Lab, Borland, etc.

• Project participants will get a real-life experience at Intel Nizhniy Novgorod Lab

• Project participants will also develop a new courseware on software engineering


9

What Will Be New in 2005?

• New approach to courseware development

• Two specializations?– Wireless Virtuoso

• Additional courses on business-incubation

• More project contributors

12

Further Plans

• Since the project was successful in year 2004, we will repeat it in year 2005

• If the project is successful for the second time, we will make it regular – Of course, we will adjust our approach based

on lessons learned in year 2004


13

Virtuoso-2005

• Applications should be submitted to [email protected] before June 1, 2005

• Contest winners will be announced on July 1, 2005

• 15-30 participants

• Project participants will arrive to Nizhniy Novgorod in July 28-29, 2005

• They will leave Nizhniy Novgorod in December 2005


14

Who Should Participate?

• Postgraduate students and assistant professors from CIS-based universities

• Age under 35

• Strong English

• Real-life experience

• Willingness to come back to their local universities after the program is completed


15

IMPORTANT

• After project completion (December 2005) all project participants must return to their cities and bring their expertise to local universities– They will be required to sign special

agreement

• We expect them to teach at local universities at least until December 2007


16

Three points of view

• An experimental internship program for teachers from local CIS universities. It takes place in August-December 2004/2005, it is organized by UNN and (co) sponsored by world-known high-tech companies (Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Borland, Kaspersky Lab, etc.)

• A long-term strategy of promotion Software Engineering expertise into local CIS universities via UNN+Intel -based internship program

• An initiative of Intel Russia R&D, dedicated to help Russia & CIS solve “local brain drain” problem. We expect that this initiative will become industry-wide, and other major players of Russian high-tech market will support this undertaking either by (co) sponsoring implementation of “Virtuoso” strategy or in some other way
