University "LETI" (Russia) and the National Research University
"Moscow Power Engineering Institute" (Russia) – SPITSE
SPITSE is a network
university, whose activities are aimed at implementing strategic trilateral
cooperation between Russian and German universities in the field of education
and science, as well as coordination of cooperation, strengthening
competitiveness and increasing international reputation, in particular, through
the implementation of "two-diploma" programs and joint research
projects.
