MIT Skoltech Next Generation Program; 3rd Round of NGP Grants
The third call for proposals for the Next Generation Program, in 2020, yielded 32 joint submissions for collaborative research-driven projects. Following reviews by a panel of internal and external experts and the NGP Steering Committee, 9 proposals have been selected for funding. The annual budget of each project will be up to 12.5 million rubles for the Skoltech portion and $200K–350K for the MIT one.
The Skoltech – MIT Joint Next Generation Program (NGP) covers the whole range of academic and institution development activities. That includes research, education, innovation and academic services towards establishing and promoting a mutually beneficial long-term bilateral collaboration between Skoltech and MIT, as well as further development of Skoltech work streams.
