At the end of March, at the invitation of the Chinese side, a delegation from the Civil Engineering Institute visited four universities in China. The Russian delegation included the director of the institute Marina Petrochenko, deputy director for international activities Mikhail Romanov and director of the Center for additional professional programs Ksenia Strelets.
The Polytechnics visited Chang’an University in Xi’an. There, a ceremonial signing of a cooperation agreement between SPbPU and Chang’an University took place. From the Chinese side, the meeting was attended by Vice President for International Relations of Chang’an University Huang Guawen, Director of the School of Water Resources Management and Environmental Protection Professor Bei Bo, as well as Professors Luo Pingping and Li Junyuan.
Following the negotiations, agreements were reached on organizing academic mobility programs for students in the areas of “Water Resources Management”, “Environmental Safety” and “Civil Engineering”. Initiatives were also discussed on holding guest lectures by teachers and developing joint programs of additional professional education with the possibility of internships at construction sites in China.
Vice President Huang Guawen expressed confidence in the successful development of the partnership: Academician Li Peichen and President of Chang’an University Sha Aiming studied in Russia, so we are optimistic about the prospects of our cooperation.
One of the key events was the open lectures of the teachers of the Civil Engineering Institute Ksenia Strelets and Mikhail Romanov for postgraduate students of Chang’an University. Mikhail Romanov shared his experience in the field of organizing water resources management in Russia and China. Ksenia Strelets’ lecture was devoted to the topic of sustainable development and assessment of the environmental impact of construction.
Faculty from the Institute of Water Resources and the School of Water Resources and Environmental Management at Chang’an University have jointly developed an online course on Environmental Impact Assessment.
The SPbPU delegation also visited the partner Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology. Its representatives gave their colleagues from SPbPU a tour of the laboratories, including a visit to the Research Center of the Institute of Civil Engineering. Unique installations and test benches for assessing seismic impacts on the structures of buildings and structures are presented there. In addition, the Russians visited the laboratory for cleaning polluted waters.
During the negotiations with the Director of International Services Wang Chumei, Deputy Director Zhao Jingzhu and the person responsible for interaction with the CIS countries Wang Xiang, agreements were reached on developing a roadmap for interaction between the two universities. It will include academic mobility of students, joint research work, and summer and winter schools.
Director of International Services Wang Chumei noted: Our universities have already established partnerships within the framework of the Silk Road Alliance of International Universities of Architecture and Technology. Now it is time to strengthen these ties in the areas of architecture and construction.
Representatives of SPbPU received an invitation to participate in the conference of the Alliance of International Universities of Architecture and Technology of the Silk Road in May this year. An important part of the event was a visit to the international student office and dormitory located on the university campus.
The next stop for visiting partner universities was Nanjing. The SPbPU delegation visited Nanjing University of Science and Technology, where they held talks with representatives of international services and professors of the construction and energy departments. From the Chinese side, the meeting was attended by the director of the international office department Chen Ji, deputy director of the international office Chen Dan, director of the institute of construction and technosphere safety Linlin Gu, professor of the institute of construction Bo Yao, professors of the institute of energy and electric power Jun Guan and Zhang Wen.
