On March 6-7, 2025, a meeting of the Council for the consideration of issues and coordination of activities of advanced engineering schools was held, in which, together with other 20 teams, the team of the PIS “RosGeoTech” took part, headed by the rector of the Grozny State Oil Technological University named after Academician M.D. Millionshchikov Magomed Mintsaev and the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroev.

Over the course of two days, participants in the second wave of selection for the Advanced Engineering Schools project shared the results achieved in 2024. Following the meeting and assessment of the work done, the Council, co-chaired by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Valery Falkov and the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov, will compile a rating of engineering schools and determine the amount of state support within the framework of the project for 2025.

The head of the Ministry of Education and Science recalled that universities face two key tasks: – to propose changes in engineering education, focusing on improving its quality; – to attract an industrial partner who will put forward a request for the training of highly qualified personnel and the transformation of education, and will also involve teachers and students in solving real engineering problems aimed at ensuring technological leadership.

The advanced engineering school “RosGeoTech” is called upon to become a recognized industry center of competence in technologies for the cost-effective exploitation of oil fields and wells at the final stage of development by building a first-class ecosystem for training engineers, as well as to create a new promising market based on the integrated use of geothermal fields and oil fields at the final stage of development.

In 2024/2025, 52 students are studying at the RosGeoTech PIS (20 undergraduate, 10 master’s, 22 specialist). Six new educational programs have been developed. The number of graduates in additional professional education programs is 80 people.

“Graduates of the RosGeoTech PIS of the M.D. Millionshchikov GGNTU have unique industry competencies and skills that are formed thanks to advanced teaching methods, practical knowledge obtained from leading specialists of industrial partners during the implementation of educational programs, practical training and internships in the leading oil companies of the country and the implementation of the final qualifying work as a scientific project for the needs of industrial partners. Graduates of the RosGeoTech PIS will have a qualification commensurate with a year of work experience at the enterprise,” said Magomed Mintsaev, Rector of the M.D. Millionshchikov GGNTU.

The ABRIS (Autonomous unmanned and robotic innovative systems in oil and gas, energy and construction engineering, as well as in ensuring the safety of facilities in various industries) and GeoMap (Formation of an interactive map of Russia’s geothermal resources) projects are being implemented directly on the basis of the State University of Management.

“ABRIS is one of the projects that SUM scientists are implementing in the field of artificial intelligence. The project involves creating unmanned systems for monitoring oil and gas facilities and geophysical surveys, as well as an autonomous drone port for servicing UAVs. These developments can be applied in other areas. Other major SUM projects in the field of artificial intelligence include the creation of software and hardware systems and intelligent platform digital solutions in the field of developing agro-industrial technologies of the full life cycle, or, in simpler terms, the “Digital Village”. Cooperation with GGNTU named after M.D. Millionshchikov is of utmost importance for us, because in addition to implementing scientific projects, we are opening new higher education programs and continuing professional education programs for the oil and gas industry, which contribute to the strategic goal of Russia’s development – achieving technological leadership,” said SUM Rector Vladimir Stroyev.

The key partners of the RosGeoTech Scientific and Educational Institute were PJSC NK Rosneft, JSC Grozneftegaz, JSC Chechenneftekhimprom and others.

The volume of attracted funding amounted to 120.4 million rubles in the form of a federal subsidy, 221 million rubles as extra-budgetary funding for the school’s activities, and 63.78 million rubles for R&D in the interests of business.

Today, there are 50 advanced engineering schools in the country, involving more than 250 high-tech companies, including Rostec, Rosatom, Roscosmos, Sibur, Gazprom Neft, KAMAZ, Tatneft and others. Another 30 schools will present the results of their activities for 2024 in April.

On the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the project will be scaled up and 100 advanced engineering schools will be created by 2030.
