On May 5, 2025, a working meeting was held at the State University of Management between the university management and a delegation from the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport (Rostransnadzor), where the main vectors of cooperation were discussed.
GUU was represented by Rector Vladimir Stroyev and Vice-Rector Maria Karelina, as well as young scientists of the university. The delegation of Rostransnadzor was headed by Acting Head Viktor Gulin.
Vladimir Stroyev began the conversation by telling us that the State University of Management initially had a well-developed transport education, and recently it has received a new impetus for development. The university has produced many famous graduates, including Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Patrushev, who studied transport management. And Vice-Rector Maria Karelina, who was present at the meeting, is the head of the Department of Transport Complex Management, and previously worked for a long time at MADI.
“Many people perceive GUU exclusively as a management university, but in fact it is much more multidisciplinary. We have an inter-university design bureau, which recently won the first competition of student design bureaus, and we are developing unmanned aerial vehicles and agricultural projects. We have an excellent logistics school. We literally just met with partners from the Moscow City Economy Complex Management Center on this matter. It’s high time for us to start interacting,” said Vladimir Stroyev.
Acting head of Rostransnadzor Viktor Gulin agreed with this, especially since the agreement on cooperation in the area of personnel training has already been developed by lawyers.
“We have 8 interregional departments for all types of transport, as well as transport safety, 4,000 employees for the entire country. Rostransnadzor has been assigned many new functions, so we need to train competent specialists who know how to manage people, we need a personnel reserve. Our experienced employees are reluctant to move to management positions because they do not understand the specifics of management. With the help of the State University of Management, we want to retrain them,” Viktor Gulin outlined the task.
Vladimir Stroyev agreed that enterprises currently lack qualified managers. The generation trained by the Soviet education system has passed away, and the new generation studied according to Western standards or even abroad; they have no contact with workers or understanding of the nuances of industry management.
Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Maria Karelina spoke about cooperation with TMH Engineering and suggested quickly adapting one of the ready-made projects to the needs of Rostransnadzor in order to present it to the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation by the end of May, where one of the State University of Management graduates Andrey Nikitin has recently been working. And by the next academic year, to thoroughly prepare their own project.
The Head of the Department for Coordination of Scientific Research at the State University of Management, Maxim Pletnev, confirmed that the preliminary agreements took into account cooperation in two main areas – education and the development of unmanned vehicles.
Vladimir Stroyev explained to the guests why it is important to start working together as soon as possible. While the period of higher education reform is ongoing, it is possible to test your programs and offer them to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as standard ones.
Viktor Gulin expressed his readiness to submit a joint project to government grant competitions.
Maria Karelina noted that it would not be a bad idea to look for other partners in order to expand the resource and scientific potential of the project.
Vladimir Stroyev shared the observation that even large state universities today cannot independently implement modern high-tech and science-intensive projects at the proper level. “We inevitably come to the point that we need to create cooperation networks,” the rector summed up.
Summing up the meeting, the partners agreed to exchange proposals for cooperation in the development and use of unmanned vehicles, and it was decided to sign an agreement on cooperation in the field of personnel training at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum.
