The Polytechnic University and the university’s industrial partner, JSC Rekond Plant, opened a joint laboratory at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications of SPbPU to study promising elements of the electronic component base (ECB) — capacitors and resistors — and to train highly qualified specialists in areas related to the plant’s activities.
The Rekond plant provided the institute with modern, expensive equipment for free use: two units for measuring the electrophysical parameters of passive electronic components for capacitors and resistors.
The laboratory was created within the framework of implementation of the roadmap of the strategic partnership between the university and the company based on the scientific laboratory “Passive Electronics (REKOND-Polytech)”, which has been operating since December 2024.
“Today, students are interested in high-tech science-intensive production, and it is very pleasant that serious enterprises are ready to participate in the training of future personnel, a new generation of engineers,” said Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies at SPbPU, at the opening of the laboratory. “Thank you for fulfilling an important mentoring function for our youth by coming to our site and allowing them to work on such equipment.”
Andrey Burlakov, assistant to the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Northwestern Federal District, who was present at the opening, congratulated the representatives of the university and the plant on the beginning of a new stage of productive interaction and wished to develop cooperation.
“We have been working closely with the university for a long time, we have established a dialogue, work that is aimed at creating new products within the framework of import substitution. The tasks and challenges that time throws at us show that we cannot exist separately, only together can we achieve good results, – is confident General Director of JSC “Rekond Plant” Yulia Novoselskaya. – We have a huge production base, accumulated experience, but without a scientific approach there will be no intensive development. We need new technologies and materials, and without qualified personnel that your university trains, we cannot move forward. Many students come for practical training, many stay to work. The guys have developed an interest in the industry, in the products that we produce, in the materials from which they are made. Of course, there is some lag behind foreign analogues. But with joint efforts we are reducing it. I invite all students to production, it will be interesting and useful for everyone.”
Director of the Institute of Economics and Technology Alexander Korotkov noted that the opening of the laboratory took place in the anniversary year of the Polytechnic University and on the eve of the 126th anniversary of the university.
“The basis of cooperation with the Rekond plant goes back to the times of the USSR, when it was still Positron, and our department of physics, dielectrics and polymers was fully oriented to the needs of the plant’s research activities,” recalled Alexander Stanislavovich. “And today, from our cooperation, we have received a synergistic effect, which allows us to train specialists for the Rekond plant at a new level.”
“The university should go hand in hand with the industry, only in this case we can set ambitious goals and achieve them,” says Nadezhda Grashchenko, head of the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs. “Educational programs should meet the needs of partners, quickly respond to questions that are raised here and now, but at the same time calculate tasks three or four steps ahead. If we do not set this vector, we will not know where to move. And when new laboratories open, students have access to industrial equipment, such steps are much easier to take.”
Representatives of other structural divisions of the university also dropped in on the opening. Acting Director of the Higher Engineering Physics School Roman Burkovsky noted that if 30 percent of Polytechnic University classrooms look like the new laboratory, more motivated students will come to the university.
