A strategic session with the participation of representatives of one of the largest Russian IT holdings, the T1 Group of Companies, was held at Novosibirsk State University. Following the meeting, the parties expressed mutual interest in deepening cooperation and announced the start of work on roadmaps for the implementation of joint projects in the educational and technological tracks.
Opening the meeting, the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk noted:
— Cooperation with T1 is developing rapidly. This distinguishes the holding from many other companies wishing to become our industrial partners. We hope that further joint work will bring tangible and mutually beneficial results.
According to Mikhail Knigin, head of the Integration domain of the holding, T1 plans to build systematic work on training personnel specifically in the Novosibirsk region:
— We work all over the country, Siberia is an important region for us, and we want to see NSU as a flagship university here. Already now, about 80 NSU graduates work in our companies — the growth of this number will become one of the metrics of the partnership’s effectiveness.
Ksenia Rumbest, Director of the Corporate Training and Talent Development Department and Head of the T1 Digital Academy, spoke about the practice of training young specialists. One of the largest projects was the T1 IT Camp, where about 1,000 participants were trained last year. The best 150 were invited to the in-person stage of the program, and some of them then became employees of the holding’s companies.
This year, according to her, it is planned to launch regional camps based at universities. The introduction of the “open schools” format was also discussed – five-week intensive courses to develop professional competencies. About 40% of graduates of such schools get jobs at T1, the rest go to other leading Russian and international IT companies.
“We are ready to offer these courses to the university as additional education, and also invite students for internships during the academic year,” Rumbest emphasized.
Cooperation between NSU and the holding can develop not only in the educational, but also in the scientific and technological sphere. The session presented the project “SPHERE” – a domestic platform for managing the full cycle of software development, including tools for project management, code analysis, testing, monitoring and automation of business processes.
An additional area of interaction may be joint work in the field of artificial intelligence. The AI Center, which develops technologies for the digitalization of the urban environment, has been operating at NSU for the second year. The head of the center, Alexander Lyulko, spoke about developments in creating platforms for managing urban infrastructure, creating intelligent systems for monitoring the environmental situation, as well as AI solutions for transport, medicine and construction. The latest projects have attracted the greatest interest from representatives of the holding.
