A delegation of students from the U.S. Massachusetts Institute of Technology visited Russia’s Skolkovo innovation hub this week in a move expected to boost progress in an ambitious project to establish a world-class technology institute near Moscow.
A dozen students from the top U.S. university met with the leaders of Skolkovo’s five scientific clusters as part of a partnership that will result in the establishment of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, dubbed SkTech for short.

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts — "I'm probably not going to move back for a couple of decades," said Yekaterina Paramonova, a third-year undergraduate majoring in nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, echoing the sentiment of many Russians who have tasted life outside the motherland.
"In the United States, there are secure job opportunities, and you know the process to obtain a job isn't really corrupt, but in Russia you need to have connections," she said.
