The results of the large-scale festival PriorityFest 2024 have been summed up. Universities — participants and candidates of the Priority-2030 program competed for the victory. For several days, university representatives introduced their best projects to their colleagues at the MGIMO site. The winner in the nomination “Best Campus Management Practice” was the project of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University “MetaCampus Polytech”. It was presented by the project manager, director of the Civil Engineering Institute Marina Petrochenko. The winners of the best university practices marathon were awarded by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Olga Petrova.
I am always pleased to be at PriorityFest – it is a unique project and special energy. I am sincerely grateful to you that you are not afraid to show your practices, not afraid to share. This is very important, it helps to cross-pollinate with developed practices and move forward the entire system of higher education in our country, – noted Olga Petrova.
85 universities proposed 211 projects to participate in the festival. They were first assessed by experts from the Sociocenter, and at the next stage by representatives of universities, partner organizations, federal and regional authorities, and the business community. 24 universities with 26 best practices reached the final. Polytechnic University won in the nomination “Best Campus Management Practice”.
“MetaCampus Polytech” is a virtual digital ecosystem consisting of an information model of the university campus, a database and a system of services that provide strategic and operational management of the university’s business processes based on a data-driven approach, the creation and storage of SPbPU’s digital asset and the positioning of the university in the educational and scientific-technological space.
Innovations in management always imply a serious comprehensive approach and transformation of system processes. Often, this is especially difficult at the first stages, because we are talking about creating something new, working on uncharted ground. But in the end, the integrated result has a positive effect. This is exactly what the development program of our university is aimed at. The peculiarity of “MetaCampus Polytech” is not only in infrastructure management, but also in uniting people who are not indifferent to the alma mater. This is the largest project in terms of the number of students involved from different institutes. Almost 2,000 guys made their intellectual and spiritual contribution. This would not have been possible without the faith and enthusiasm of the mentors, – noted Acting Vice-Rector for Promising Projects Maria Vrublevskaya.
The project is designed to transform the campus and university infrastructure management system, develop services to accelerate basic processes, and form a sustainable collaboration between education, science, and business. MetaCampus Polytech is being implemented with the support of the Priority 2030 strategic academic leadership program.
This year, students from several other SPbPU institutes joined the project. We initially planned a new campus management system, but received a project about people and for people. Thanks to it, our students and teachers develop unique competencies that allow them to significantly increase their competitiveness in the labor market. And the results of the project in the form of a system of information models of campus buildings and a system of services will contribute to the launch of transformation processes in terms of campus infrastructure management and increasing the level of its comfort and accessibility for students and university employees, – said the director of the ISI Marina Petrochenko.
Work on the project is integrated into the university’s educational activities. Under the guidance of 15 mentor teachers, more than 2,000 students took part in the work within six academic disciplines and seven internship programs. This allows students to develop not only professional but also supra-professional competencies.
The main result of the project will be a digital information model of the university campus, a database and a system of special services. Thus, open services will allow everyone to take a virtual walk around the campus, get acquainted with the sights and look into the laboratories and academic buildings. And closed sections will help collect and analyze analytical information on the functioning of all data and systems of campus buildings.
