Dmitry Chernyshenko visited Ulyanovsk State University – a participant of the Priority-2030 program

Universities participating in the Priority 2030 program have concluded more than 6,000 contracts worth 62 billion rubles with industrial partners. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, commenting on the implementation of the largest program for the development of Russian universities.

“Universities participating in the Priority 2030 program have actively joined in solving problems aimed at ensuring our country’s technological leadership, one of the national goals outlined by President Vladimir Putin. Thus, they are building and strengthening partnerships with enterprises in the real sector. Over two and a half years, more than 420 consortiums have been created within the program, uniting universities, research organizations, and businesses. More than 6,000 agreements have been concluded with industrial partners for a total of more than 62 billion rubles. This joint work is aimed at conducting research, creating new technologies and products, and improving production processes,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Examples of the consortium’s successful work include a joint project of MSTU Stankin, the A.A. Blagonravov Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the V.A. Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Professor N.E. Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute, SPbGMTU, Roscosmos State Corporation, Rosneft Oil Company, Shvabe, Mil and Kamov Scientific and Production Center, Technological Center, and USC. Together, the university, research institutes, and businesses are working to create and implement technologies in mechanical engineering.

The most important task of Priority 2030 is to train highly qualified personnel to meet economic demands, noted the head of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov.

“Within the framework of Priority 2030, network programs are actively developing, which imply the organization of training using the resources of several universities, with the participation of representatives of the real sector of the economy. This is an effective tool for improving the quality of training specialists in the regions. Since 2021, more than 380 network educational programs have been operating,” he said.

As an example of such work, the Minister cited the program of the Transbaikal State University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, which jointly train personnel for the mining industry. Students undergo practical training at the facilities of one of the country’s leading gold mining companies, Highland Gold, which was the initiator and partner of the track.

Another successful example is the first program for artificial intelligence researchers in Russia, which was launched this year, combining the expertise of four of the strongest universities and the experience of high-tech companies. We are talking about the course prepared by ITMO, MIPT, HSE and Innopolis University together with Yandex and Sber. Its main difference is its focus on developing new fundamental models, architecture and machine learning algorithms. In the future, these guys will be at the forefront of new technologies.

Also, within the framework of the Priority-2030 program, over 500 laboratories equipped with modern full-cycle equipment have been created to train strong specialists. For example, the St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation has an aerospace micromechanics laboratory, which trains students in the field of design and testing of micromechanical devices that solve aerospace navigation problems. The equipment can be used to carry out research and development work at the request of industrial partners.

Universities participating in Priority 2030 are talking about some of their developments at the PriorityFest2024 festival, which is taking place on October 24–25 at MGIMO.
