As engineers, they really wanted to see the city in terms of industrial development. In particular, it became interesting for them to see and learn everything related to metallurgy having estimated Yekaterinburg as a very large logistics center. A special interest was caused by the opportunity to visit the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant.
Of course, they want to get acquainted with Russian culture. One of the students has already the second time in Russia. Before that, I visited Omsk and Irkutsk. "From what I have already seen, Yekaterinburg is so far I like more than other cities in Russia", - he shared.
When the grandfather of one of the students has found out about the trip to Yekaterinburg, he said: "Well, I know Ekaterinburg. This is obviously the city where the royal family was murdered. Many people know about Yekaterinburg in Germany. "
Participants of the Eurasia Summer School Martin Templin and Martin Singer also told that in Germany those who enter universities prefer the direction of "Economics". It is a very popular combination of economics and engineering. Among the popular ones, they also named the direction of IT-technologies, information security and direction, related to the support and functional development of companies.

And such events as the World Cup 2018, exchange of students, enable foreigners to visit Russia and change their perception of the country.
