TMK supports the International Young Scientists Awards in the Field of Oil and Gas: A Glance Into the Future

TMK has partnered with the fifth International Young Scientists Awards in the Field of Oil and Gas: A Glance Into the Future. To compete in a special category introduced by TMK, participants will present their solutions to an R&D problem set by the Company.

The competition was established by the International Business Congress (IBC), a non-profit organization, which serves as a platform for dialogue between representatives of the business community and political circles from different countries and helps address current economic issues. The competition is open to young scientists and research teams who have proposed projects for the oil and gas industry’s development.

As the event’s partner, TMK introduced its own category, New Materials, Structures and Solutions for Effective Production and Transportation of Hydrocarbons. The winner will be invited to do an internship at TMK’s R&D facility in Skolkovo and will visit several of the Company’s enterprises.

Igor Pyshmintsev, TMK’s Director for Research Development and CEO of TMK’s R&D facility in Skolkovo, said: “TMK is constantly building up its R&D capabilities to address the most complex challenges in the pipe and metals industries. In these efforts, we value live exchange of ideas, initiatives and developments, which allows us to expand our experience and contribute to the development of industry-specific research. While open to other engagement formats, we are already actively attracting high-tech projects through our corporate accelerator. We are confident that the partnership with the competition established by a reputable international platform will give further impetus to the development and implementation of innovative solutions.”

Applications will be accepted until May 10, while the winners will be announced in August 2022. The winners will get a chance to promote their projects across the research and business communities as well as to assist in establishing contacts and enhancing R&D cooperation with IBC member companies, universities, research institutes, and R&D centers. Awards also include internships at leading energy companies, presentations at IBC committee meetings and trips to scientific events and R&D centers.
