🛳🌍 The international selection stage for Rosatom’s educational and outreach project “Icebreaker of Knowledge” has officially begun. School students aged 14-16 from 22 countries are invited to participate, including South Africa, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania, India, China, Brazil and many others. The winners from each participating country will join a unique Arctic expedition to the North Pole aboard the nuclear-powered icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy. The international competition will take place in three stages: 🔹 Stage 1 – participants who register on goarctic.energy will complete a science quiz. 🔹 Stage 2 – participants will attend a series of webinars dedicated to Rosatom’s advanced technologies and innovative solutions, including technologies supporting the safe development of Arctic navigation. After watching the materials, students will complete knowledge tests and assignments. 🔹 Stage 3 – the Top 10 finalists selected based on their scores from the first two stages, will submit a video presentation for the final challenge. 📍 The project aims to inspire a new generation of young researchers, engineers, and explorers through science, technology, and international cooperation in the Arctic. South African participants have already experienced the unique spirit and beauty of the Arctic through the Icebreaker of Knowledge project. 🇿🇦 Isabella Eileen Nell from South Africa shared her impressions in 2025: “Honestly, I’m just speechless – I can’t believe I’m here at the top of the world. It’s even more beautiful than I ever imagined: the snow, the ice, the pure Arctic atmosphere, it’s breathtaking. I’m proud to be here representing South Africa – this journey is not just for me, it’s for my country.” #IcebreakerOfKnowledge #Arctic
