A trilateral agreement on the development of engineering education and technology has been signed in Kyrgyzstan
Today, within the framework of the Kyrgyz-Russian economic forum, a trilateral cooperation agreement was signed between the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B. N. Yeltsin, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the Geoscan company.
The document was signed by Rector Sergey Volkov on behalf of KRSU, Director of the International Department Vladimir Ivanov on behalf of OOO Geoscan, and Vice Rector for Research Yuri Fomin on behalf of SPbPU.
The agreement is aimed at developing engineering education, introducing modern technologies into the educational process and creating new opportunities for students, schoolchildren and youth. This agreement was concluded as part of the implementation of the updated SPbPU-KRSU Roadmap and will contribute, among other things, to the implementation of the long-term Development Strategy of the KRSU until 2030. One of the key areas will be the development of unmanned vehicles and robotics in Kyrgyzstan, including the possibility of creating a network of student, youth and school engineering laboratories.
As part of the agreements, in order to ensure the most effective activities of joint research groups and support the long-term development of scientific potential, the following are provided:
- Joint educational programs in software engineering, modeling, design and artificial intelligence
- Training teachers to work with technologies of unmanned transport systems, conducting joint scientific research and project work
- Organization of production practices and internships for students
- Organization of access to laboratories, equipment and resource base of partners for applicants and postgraduates of KRSU, including for work on dissertations and dissertation defense in spbpu dissertations in key areas
- Internships for graduate students and applicants
- Preparation of publications
- Applying for grants.
Geoscan is a very important educational and technological partner for us. A large number of Polytechnic students and graduates are already working there, and together we are working on technological solutions for the development of unmanned systems, which in turn contributes to the development of our key scientific and technological areas. And this agreement is another step in the development of our international partnership with the KRSU. Polytech greatly appreciates projects that bring together a reliable international component, a high—tech business, and all this is related to education,
commented Yuri Fomin on the signing.
Special attention will be paid to holding competitions in robotics and unmanned systems, creating a joint design environment based on the KRSU and introducing laboratory workshops using unmanned aircraft systems.
The agreement runs until the end of 2030 and will become a platform for long-term cooperation in the fields of science, education and high technology, opening up new prospects for training specialists in demand in the future technological order.
