In March of this year, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, following the presentation of the University Development Program at the Council of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation entered the leading group of universities participating in the Priority 2030 program.
The Priority 2030 program to support higher education institutions was relaunched this year with an emphasis on achieving technological leadership in Russia by combining the efforts of the state, business, and universities in implementing joint projects. The key performance indicator for participants is the integrated technological leadership index (ITL). ITL is calculated based on the volume of extra-budgetary R&D and scientific and technical services, commercialization of the results of intellectual activity and work.
In order to achieve technological leadership, in accordance with the approved Strategy and Program for the University Development until 2030 with a perspective until 2036, SPbPU will concentrate its efforts on three key scientific and technological areas (KSTD), as well as on the transformation of engineering education.
During the two months of the program’s implementation, a great deal of organizational work was done to launch key scientific and technological projects, the Office of Technological Leadership was organized, headed by Oleg Rozhdestvensky, and the SPbPU Technological Leadership Council was created and began its work under the chairmanship of the Rector of SPbPU, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Ivanovich Rudskoy.
For each of the key scientific and technological areas, chief designers (director heads) have been approved:
KNTN-1 “System Digital Engineering” – development of technologies and products superior to foreign analogues, based on digital twin technology andCML-Bench® Digital Platform. Chief Designer, Head of the Department — Vice-Rector for Digital Transformation, Head of the SPbPU PISh “Digital Engineering” Aleksey Borovkov; KNTN-2 “New Materials, Technologies, Production” — creation of science-intensive industries for the repair and manufacture of products for various purposes. Chief Designer, Head of the Department — Director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport Anatoly Popovich; KNTN-3 “Artificial Intelligence for Solving Cross-Industry Problems” — development of digital platform solutions for analyzing multimodal data. Chief Designer, Head of the Department — Vice-Rector for Research Yuri Fomin; Transformation of Engineering Education — maximizing SPbPU’s contribution to the formation of world-class Russian engineering education and the spatial development of the country. Head of the Department — Vice-Rector for Educational Activities Lyudmila Pankova.
In mid-May, the Technology Leadership Council approved projects within key scientific and technological areas.

All approved projects correspond to the priority areas of scientific and technological development of the country, are based on existing personnel and scientific and technological reserves, are aimed at developing the most important science-intensive technologies, and have undergone a rigorous external expert assessment.
In addition, all selected projects are built in the logic of the qualified partnership model, where the university acts as a qualified performer and its development within the model, as well as interaction with a qualified customer (industrial partner) is carried out within the framework of the RUN-CNANGE-DISRUPT methodology. RUN is an ongoing activity, CNANGE – DISRUPT mean “targeted changes” and “breakthrough”, which are achieved with the help of a scientific and technological reserve formed on a systemic basis, the introduction of digital and technological platforms, and a focus on frontier engineering tasks.
Over the past few years, we have managed to build sustainable cooperation with dozens of industrial partners, with whom we develop advanced technologies and launch joint educational programs. Based on this experience and the results of our teams, we have formed three key scientific and technological areas that allow us to follow the Polytechnic mission – “creation of knowledge and implementation of developments to ensure technological leadership of Russia.” Concentration of efforts and resources on three scientific and technological areas and building all processes in this logic is the basis of our transformation in the scientific and technological sphere, – commented the head of the SPbPU Office of Technological Leadership Oleg Rozhdestvensky.
