International Students Project Marathon – 2021
During the coronavirus pandemic, the international Students Project Marathon opened up a new perspective. In addition to its original goal - to unite science, education, and project activities - another one was added: to create opportunities for virtual mobility, which in 2020 and 2021 remains almost the only way to acquire new competencies and international experience.
One of the brightest examples of productive international cooperation within the marathon is SPbPU’s interaction with Spanish universities - Technical University of Madrid (UPM) and the University of Cadiz. For almost a year, Russian-Spanish teams have been working together on projects in materials science and humanities.
SPbPU partner from India - Amity University Kolkata, also joined the project in summer 2021. Project “FTN pulse shaping technology for future 5-6G networks” is implementing in cooperation with SPbPU Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications.
New participants joined the International Students Project Marathon project, which Polytechnic University conducts jointly with foreign partners. The Institute of Energy of SPbPU and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM; Spain) have launched three new projects. Thus, since the beginning of 2021 Russian, Spanish, and Austrian teams have been working together on more than 10 projects in the fields of energy, materials science, and humanities.
