A delegation from Salymbekov University (Kyrgyzstan), headed by President Amangeldi Zhumadilov, visited Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University to discuss prospects for cooperation in education and science. The partners agreed to jointly implement educational programs, research projects, and academic exchanges aimed at training highly qualified specialists for high-tech sectors of the economy.
The key topic of the negotiations was the creation of joint educational programs, including double degrees, in various areas of secondary vocational and higher education. The pilot areas planned for launch this fall include “Information Systems and Programming”, “International Logistics” and “International Business”, “Digital Enterprise Economics” and IT specialties. This is necessary in order to purposefully train highly qualified specialists in professions that are really in demand in the region.
Vice-Rector for International Affairs of SPbPU Dmitry Arsenyev noted: We see great potential in cooperation with Salymbekov University. Specific projects that can be implemented in the short term are already being discussed. This indicates a high degree of mutual trust and interest in developing partnership.
Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade Vladimir Shchepinin emphasized: Our institute has unique experience in training specialists in economics and management, adapted to the real needs of industry. Joint programs with Kyrgyz colleagues will allow us to train personnel that are in demand not only in Kyrgyzstan, but also on the international market.
The meeting discussed issues of organizing internships for students in Russian companies, developing programs for improving the qualifications of teachers, and developing cooperation in the field of biotechnology and biomedical systems. Representatives of Salymbekov University expressed interest in adapting SPbPU educational programs to train specialists in these promising areas.
The colleagues agreed to develop a roadmap for cooperation, which provides for the exchange of curricula, joint research, and the organization of academic exchanges. The first student intake for joint programs is planned for September of this year.
President of Salymbekov University Amangeldi Zhumadilov noted: Our university occupies a leading position in the national rankings of Kyrgyzstan and first place among the young universities of the country. Partnership with SPbPU is an important step in expanding international cooperation and improving the quality of Kyrgyz education.
The visit ended with the signing of a memorandum of understanding, which laid the foundation for further joint work. The next step will be a detailed elaboration of mechanisms for implementing the agreed initiatives and the preparation of the necessary documents for launching the first joint programs.
