Details

What to know

/ 01

12 weeks online

Starts 30 January 2027. Work progresses through a project and weekly deliverables; plan for 8–12 hours a week, with additional time for complex projects.

/ 02

Weekly rhythm

Explore a topic → apply it to the project → show the result → receive feedback → improve. The knowledge base supports preparation and fills gaps.

/ 03

Teamwork and feedback

Teams of 3–5 are matched by skills, project, language and time zone. Recorded tasks and decisions make individual contributions visible.

/ 04

Language and geography

The first cohort is primarily Russian-speaking. We are recruiting practitioners from Russia, the UAE and China; selected native-language sessions are possible. Confirmed languages, translation arrangements and the schedule will be announced before the start; the roster is not yet published.

/ 05

Selection process

The detailed application is required. The team reviews it and contacts candidates about the test and project. Selection closes 15 January 2027; individual stage dates are communicated directly.

/ 06

What you need

A computer, internet, time for practice, teamwork and user conversations. Paid tools and project budgets are agreed in advance; unlimited third-party subscriptions are not promised as part of the fee.

/ 07

Fees and enrollment

The 12-week program costs RUB 100,000. A 100% scholarship is available to technical university students who pass selection, subject to status verification. Applying is not payment or a contract.

/ 08

Faculty

The faculty page will follow confirmed participation. For now, assess the curriculum and format rather than unconfirmed names or companies.

/ 09

Research track

Choose research in one of 10 directions, including venture capital for AI, instead of a product project. Agree a supervisor, data, methods and resources first. The goal is a verifiable study and manuscript when evidence supports it; journal acceptance and patents are not guaranteed.
