A delegation of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus (NAS RB) visited Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The meeting took place as part of the delegation’s visit to the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPbB RAS). The Polytechnic University hosted key events aimed at developing scientific and technical cooperation. The delegation was headed by Academician-Secretary of the Department of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science of the NAS of Belarus Alexander Shumilin, and also included Director of the Institute of Applied Physics of the NAS RB Mikhail Kheifets and Director of the Institute of Physics of the NAS RB, Academician Sergei Gaponenko.
Rector of SPbPU, Chairman of the SPbB RAS Andrey Rudskoy after a working meeting with colleagues from the NAS RB emphasized: Our partnership with the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus is a driver for the creation of breakthrough technologies. The joint efforts of our scientists are forming the scientific potential of Russia and Belarus, strengthening the technological sovereignty of the Union State.
The program of the visit began with a tour of the Main Academic Building and a visit to the SPbPU History Museum, where the delegation became acquainted with the university’s heritage and the achievements of the great polytechnic engineers.
The guests visited the laboratories of the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications (IEIT), identified points of mutual interest and topics for future joint research, which will be included in the roadmap for cooperation currently being formed. The meeting participants discussed cooperation in the field of photonics, including the development of entirely domestic components.
In the laboratories of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport (IMMT), the delegation saw the latest developments in the field of additive technologies and powder metallurgy, and also got acquainted with the practical results of the joint project of SPbPU and the O. V. Roman Institute of Powder Metallurgy of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus.
Representatives of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus learned about the areas of activity of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” and, in general, the “Ecosystem of Technological Development of SPbPU “Advanced Digital and Manufacturing Technologies”, which provides training of engineers with world-class competencies for high-tech industries. They were shown joint projects of the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” with the State Scientific Institution “United Institute of Mechanical Engineering” and the Physical-Mechanical Institute of SPbPU with the State Scientific Institution “Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer named after A.V. Lykov”.
The participants discussed possible areas of joint work, particularly noting the sphere of standardization and metrology, the use of virtual modeling to solve problems of the mechanical engineering industry of Belarus. The guests were interested in the developments of the laboratory “Industrial systems of streaming data processing” of the SPbPU PISh “Digital Engineering” in the field of algorithms and systems for collecting and analyzing data.
The delegation of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus expressed special interest in developing cooperation in the field of applied physics and the space sector, given that the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus oversees interaction with Roscosmos. Belarusian colleagues noted that SPbPU’s experience in additive technologies and digital modeling can become the basis for new initiatives within the framework of the Union State programs, such as modernization of satellite systems and training of personnel for the space industry.
An important event was the working meeting, at which the parties discussed priority areas of cooperation: biomedical systems, quality management in technical projects and applied physics. Particular attention was paid to the organization of a joint dissertation council and the further implementation of the cooperation roadmap. The discussion was attended by the Vice-Rector for International Affairs of SPbPU Dmitry Arsenyev, Director of the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology Andrey Vasin, Director of the Higher School of Biomedical Systems and Technology Olga Vlasova, Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration (LMN) Ilya Bezprozvanny, Chief Scientific Secretary of the Scientific Certification Commission Tatyana Kudryavtseva, Professor of the Higher School of Fundamental Physics Research Vadim Korablyov, Head of the International Cooperation Department Vladimir Khizhnyak.
The delegates also visited the Polytechnic Supercomputer Center, where they discussed with professors of the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence Vladimir Zaborovsky and Lev Utkin the problems of using artificial intelligence for supercomputer calculations and the capabilities of SPbPU in modeling complex engineering problems.
The day continued with a concert “The Magic of the Organ” in the White Hall of SPbPU.
The negotiations confirmed that our joint projects are not only fundamental research, but also applied practical developments that can form the basis for a technological breakthrough of the Union State, noted Academician-Secretary of the Department of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Alexander Shumilin.
At the end of the meeting, the parties agreed to intensify student exchanges and prepare new applications for grants within the framework of the programs of the St. Petersburg Science Foundation, the Russian Science Foundation and the Union State.
