In March, a working visit of the expert group of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) to the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU) took place. At the invitation of the acting rector of KRSU Sergey Volkov, representatives of the Polytechnic University and a number of other Russian universities took part in business meetings with industrial partners of KRSU and conducted expert work with the university development team.
On behalf of Polytechnic University, the expert group included Nikita Golovin, Deputy Head of the International Cooperation Department, Head of the Slavic Universities Project Office, Maxim Dyuldin, Head of the Quality Control Department, Associate Professor Anton Kuznetsov, Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Electric Power Systems of the Institute of Power Engineering Maria Lyulina, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management of the Institute of Cybernetics and Science, Director of the North-West Interuniversity Regional Educational and Scientific Center Polytechnic-Cyberphysics Vyacheslav Potekhin. The main goal of the visit was working meetings and negotiations between SPbPU representatives and industrial partners of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University.
The business program began with a visit to the office of the Alliance Altyn company, a key industrial partner of KRSU. During the meeting with the company’s representatives, the implementation of the roadmap for cooperation between KRSU and Alliance Altyn for 2024-2026 was discussed. Alliance Altyn is the first industrial partner of the university, and this opens up new opportunities for long-term scientific and educational cooperation. The roadmap provides for the development of more than ten educational courses for the managers and engineering and technical staff of Alliance Altyn. The participation of Russian universities, in particular SPbPU, in the implementation of the roadmap will strengthen the scientific and educational potential of the project. Joint efforts are aimed at training highly qualified specialists for the mining industry of Kyrgyzstan, as well as conducting scientific research in the field of improving the efficiency of mining operations and developing environmentally friendly technologies.
In addition to the meeting at the company’s head office, the experts visited the largest gold ore deposit in the Kyrgyz Republic, Jerooy, which is being developed by Alliance Altyn. The specialists familiarized themselves with the technological processes of gold mining, working conditions and development prospects of the enterprise, assessed the scale of production, talked to employees and discussed the possibilities of organizing internships for students and the need to implement modern technologies to improve the efficiency of the deposit.
Practice-oriented training is the most important aspect of modern training of specialists. We strive to ensure that KRSU students have the opportunity to undergo internships in leading industrial companies, such as “Altyn Alliance”. This will ensure their competitiveness in the labor market, – noted Sergey Volkov.
The results of the expert work were summed up at the final meeting at KRSU. The participants discussed promising areas of joint research and educational projects in the interests of Alliance Altyn, mechanisms and possible formats for their implementation. Among the most relevant project areas were automation and digitalization of production (operation analysis, technology implementation, process optimization), energy audit (energy consumption analysis, identification of deficiencies, recommendations for improving energy efficiency), modernization of pumping units (equipment analysis, recommendations for improving efficiency, implementation of innovations), examination of the hydroelectric power station construction project (assessment of design solutions, compliance with standards, risk analysis, optimization), organization of courses on Lean Manufacturing (development of a curriculum, trainings, seminars on process optimization), examination of labor protection and safety (comprehensive assessment of workplaces, risk identification, PPE inspection, safety analysis).
There is a lot of work ahead to coordinate, approve and implement joint projects. With such support, KRSU is obliged to become the flagship of Russian education and science in the region, emphasized Sergey Volkov.
For the Polytechnic University, the task of supporting KRSU in terms of developing a scientific and technological partnership with the Alliance Altyn company is also one of the key ones – the parties agreed to develop a comprehensive applied engineering and technological project by the end of 2025.
In addition to working on the formation of a potential portfolio of KRSU projects with industrial partners, SPbPU experts held a number of working meetings with the heads of KRSU scientific schools and expert sessions with the university development team. Thus, at the project and analytical session on the formation of the KRSU development strategy until 2036, recommendations were developed to supplement and focus the strategic goals and key areas of the university’s development. At a meeting with research groups and laboratories, potential areas of cooperation in the field of scientific research were discussed: joint projects, grants, internships. A meeting was also held to agree on and approve specific terms and conditions for the implementation of the SPbPU-KRSU work plan in 2025.
The agreements reached during the visit will allow us to systematically move forward in fulfilling the key tasks of 2025. Activation of cooperation with the industry, launching real projects at the request of industrial partners are in line with the general task of increasing the competitiveness of KRSU, contribute to the modernization of engineering education and the formation of a system for training highly professional engineering personnel in KRSU, – summed up the results of the visit the head of the Project Office “Slavic Universities” Nikita Golovin.
