On March 31, 2023, for the first time ever, the teams of institutions of the research industrial complex of the RZD Holding gathered on the premises of the Institute of Economics and Transport Development to compete in the intellectual QUIZ of the IEDT. Those teams represented: IEDT JSC, VNIIZhT JSC, NIIAS JSC, VNIKTI JSC. This event was organized by the youth activists of IEDT JSC and aimed at developing the cooperation between employees and building effective communication. I.G. Magnushevskaya, Director General of IEDT JSC, emphasized in her opening address that the event would strengthen the interaction of research institutions not only in production issues, but also would serve as an impetus for the further organization of joint mass cultural events.

QUIZ host Anastasia Medvedeva managed to surprise the participants with interesting questions on topics from various fields of knowledge, and each of the four rounds was delivered in a new format. The first round was "Warm-up" (one minute to discuss each question), then "Relay" (questions with clues), "Bets" (teams could go big and get the maximum points, or lose the points they already earned) and "Sprint" (20 seconds to think through the question). To commemorate the 20th anniversary of RZD JSCo this year, one of the game rounds was dedicated to the railway theme and fully immersed the teams in the historical and contemporary events of Russian railroads.

Despite the competition between the teams, the intellectual game took place in a fun, friendly atmosphere. A total of seven teams took part in the tournament. The following teams won in a close competition:

1st place - the team "Come on, Science" (IEDT JSC);

2nd place - the team "Honorable Public" (IEDT JSC);

3rd place - the team "80th Level Impromptu" (VNIKTI JSC).
