The Science. Business. Education strategic partnership forum was held in St. Petersburg, where experts discussed joint strategies for personnel and technological transformation. Among the key participants was the team from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. It presented the university’s projects and initiatives in the field of digitalization of education and interaction with partners. The main event of the forum was the presentation of the Gazprom Neft University League Prize. The SPbPU program in the field of innovative engineering for oil industry enterprises won in the Great Prospects nomination. It was developed taking into account the current challenges of the industry, including the tasks of creating digital models and technologies for their application in various industries.
Our task is not just to train, but to form engineers of the future, capable of solving problems of technological leadership. Winning the award is recognition of the efforts of the entire team, – noted the head of the program Ivan Kurta.
The project is being implemented in partnership with Gazprom Neft and has become the first additional professional education program in Russia transferred for use by other organizations under a license agreement. This partnership has provided the conditions for its implementation in the leading educational and industrial centers of the country.
The program in the field of innovative engineering for oil industry enterprises was successfully tested in 2024 as part of a case championship, in which students from leading technical universities of St. Petersburg participated. SPbPU provided the organization of training, thereby confirming the practical value of the program.
The interaction of science and industry is a necessity. By joint efforts we can form unique competencies, – emphasized Irina Rudskaya, Director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Information Technologies and Business Analysis of Gazprom Neft.
In the nomination “Science of Enlightenment”, the winner of the competition was the project “Purchase Management at Oil and Gas Complex Enterprises”, developed by the Polytechnic team. The head of the program is Mikhail Afanasyev, professor at the Higher School of Industrial Management. The program trains specialists for key functions in the oil and gas industry, including for procurement at Gazprom Neft.
We see a consistently high interest in our programs from both industrial partners and educational and scientific organizations. This confirms the demand and potential for scaling up Polytechnic’s educational solutions. The forum showed that we are moving in the right direction, – noted Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU.
The second day of the forum was devoted to discussing strategic directions for the development of the scientific and educational space in Russia. The focus was on issues of training engineering personnel, integrating science, education and business, and forming technological leadership in the regions. The agenda included panel discussions, sessions on franchising educational solutions, the academic mobility program, developing world-class campuses and mechanisms for supporting university technological entrepreneurship.
The work of the sections “Designing network educational projects with regional universities” and “Franchising educational solutions in the field of industrial safety” should be separately noted. They presented proposals for new joint initiatives, and supported projects that are planned to be implemented in the field of additional education in 2025-2026. These decisions strengthen the position of the Polytechnic University as a reliable partner in the implementation of national priorities in education.
Participation in the forum confirmed SPbPU’s status as a leader in the field of additional professional education and its key role in training engineering personnel for the industry of the future.
