"Strong Armenia" party highlights key educational initiatives  implemented by Karapetyan in Armenia

ArmInfo.  One of the most important educational initiatives being implemented by  Russian-Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan is the establishment  of modern centers of excellence at the National Polytechnic  University of Armenia: in 2017,  through joint projects with the  French company Schneider Electric, and in 2018, through joint  projects with Cascade Holding, as noted in a statement issued by the  "Strong Armenia" party.

In this regard, it is emphasized that these platforms provide young  scientists and students with the opportunity to become familiar with  the most modern technologies in the energy and automation sectors.

The centers are equipped with a high-voltage and medium-voltage power  distribution laboratory, which includes  modern automation equipment  ranging in cost from $1,000 to  $35,000. "This is an example of  creating a direct link between education and real production. Another  important component of the program is the scholarship system. Samvel  Karapetyan and the Karapetyan family provide students with excellent  academic performance with a monthly stipend of up to 250,000 drams  (approximately $670).

The goal of these investments is to create a community of a new  generation of professionals, many of whom are already working in  Armenia's energy system and contributing to the country's energy  security," the political party's statement reads.
