Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Iran University of Science and Technology and Pardis Technopark signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at establishing a Joint Institute for Technological Leadership in Iran. The new educational project will be implemented at Pardis Technopark, the largest in Western Asia, in cooperation with an alliance of leading Iranian universities, including Sharif University of Technology, Iran University of Science and Technology and Shahid Beheshti University.
The parties agreed to jointly develop master’s programs in key areas such as energy, construction and information technology. Particular attention will be paid to training specialists in the field of renewable energy, power engineering and intelligent control systems. Students will be able to undergo training and research practices at the Pardis Technopark, which will allow them to gain not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience in a high-tech environment.
This agreement will be the next step in the development of Russian-Iranian cooperation after the signing of a comprehensive strategic partnership between our countries in January of this year. For Iran, the project is important in terms of attracting Russian technologies and expertise, especially in solving problems related to the energy balance. Russia, in turn, is strengthening its scientific and educational presence in the region and expanding cooperation with Iran’s leading educational centers.
Vice-Rector for International Affairs at SPbPU Dmitry Arsenyev noted that the project opens up new opportunities for students and researchers from both countries, combining academic traditions and innovative approaches.
We are starting with master’s programs in energy and IT, but this is just the start. Our goal is for students from Iran and Russia to design real solutions together. There will be no educational projects, only tasks from Technopark Pardis and our industrial partners. Our graduates will come to enterprises with skills, not just a diploma, – commented Dmitry Arsenyev.
Vice President for Innovation Development Mojtaba Jabaripour emphasized that the technopark is actively developing international cooperation, and the partnership with SPbPU will be an important element of this strategy. The Iranian side is interested in the experience of Russian specialists to solve key technological problems.
In the near future, the parties plan to detail the terms of cooperation and begin developing joint master’s programs, after which it is planned to sign an agreement on the launch of the Joint Institute of Technological Leadership.
