Summer School 2025 Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Surabaya, Indonesia
Знакомство с Иннополисом
Two weeks in Indonesia flew by unnoticed. I was at the Summer School at CommTech Camp Highlight 2025 on Stream 1: Innovations in Engineering. Insanely cool summer school, very eventful, every day we were given interesting lectures, showed the university laboratories, told about projects that ITS students create.
To my surprise, many participants in the summer school were already masters and graduate students, and some were already lecturers at their universities. I was the youngest member of the summer school, but nevertheless it was unbelievably interesting. As a first-year undergraduate student, I received a lot of advice and ideas for the development of my project. It's amazingly cool that I had such an opportunity to communicate with people who have gone through such a long, but interesting path in the field of engineering.
In addition to lectures and classes, we also had various activities, games, songs, dances, but the most memorable one was a tour to the Bromo volcano. At first, we took the bus for 2 hours, then we moved to jeeps and drove another 30 minutes along the serpentine, after that there was a hiking 40 minutes and we were at the highest point where you can see the volcano, the beautiful dawn and just amazing views. It's incredible! Nature is insanely beautiful. But our tour did not end there, we mounted our horses and went to the crater of the volcano. Extremely beautiful views!
I was able to meet children from completely different countries, different cultures, for me this is an excellent experience of communicating with foreigners, this is an excellent practice of English. The summer school had guys from the Philippines, Canada, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, China and Taiwan. In our free time, we walked along Surabai, traveled to neighboring cities. Indonesia is a very cheap country where you can be a millionaire)))
I express my deep gratitude to the Innopolis University and the Student Exchanges team for such a wonderful opportunity! I definitely recommend this summer school to all students!

Lectures at <b>Sapienza University (Italy)</b> were engaging and containing complicated topics in an easy-to-understand form.<br> <br> I would recommend students who wish to go on an exchange program to take part in all possible activities which partner university can provide, visit the county of exchange, and make friends.<br>

I had a chance to dive into the history of the foreign country. During the exchange at <b>METU (Turkey)</b>, I lived with friends and one of them was Turkish. This guy showed the key places in Ankara and gave a short review of modern Turkish history. The brightest day of my exchange program was the day of Remembering Ataturk on 10th November at 9:05 AM when I met many people outside in a crowded street to see how the nation respects its father.

<p> “I always wanted to go somewhere for an Exchange programme, but I was not sure where to go. Couple of weeks before the application deadline a new university was added - the university I have chosen as my first option - The ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’” - Adela Krylova </p> <p> </p> <p> “Until the very last moment, I was not sure if I would go for an exchange. Initially, I chose 2 universities where I would like to go for an exchange. After the deadline for the forms came and all documents were submitted, I realised that I did not like my choice of the second university, so I was only left with the first one - ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’ or ITS.” - Roman Makarov </p>

<p> </p> <p> My time in ADA University (Baku, Azerbaijan) definitely exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful views of the city to the high academic standards of the university I loved my time there. </p> <p> ADA being the top university in Azerbaijan gave me the chance to interact with amazing people from all over the world, participate in cool events, conferences, concerts, charity and I even got to meet Koichi Wakata a renowned Japanese astronaut since the International Astronautical Congress took place in ADA. I especially loved the IEEE Women in Engineering Panel Discussion. I had previously written several papers in Innopolis and everyone knows getting your paper in IEEE is a big deal so being with these female pioneers in the field felt great. There are many other women driven events and clubs which I was a part of. </p> <br> <p> </p>

<p> </p> <p> What exchange is for me? It's easier to say what it is not. I went in knowing that it would be a one-of-a-kind experience, and I ended up getting even more. </p> <br> <p> </p>
