The "My Priority" exhibition, dedicated to cutting-edge developments by scientists at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, has opened at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport. Grigory Kuzmin, Director of Innovation and Resource Planning at Northern Capital Gateway, and Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security at SPbPU, participated in the opening ceremony.
Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University was among the first group of universities to receive grants from the Priority 2030 federal academic leadership program. This program focuses on uniting the efforts of the government, business, and universities to develop joint scientific and industrial research projects essential for Russia's technological leadership. Scientists are making breakthrough discoveries in fields such as metallurgy, healthcare, new materials, energy, artificial intelligence, and many others. Particular attention is paid to the creation of new materials for the aviation industry, as well as the development of unmanned aircraft. And where better than at St. Petersburg Airport, which is not only the gateway to the Northern Capital but also a wonderful example of the implementation of advanced scientific technologies in practice, to share these achievements with the residents and visitors of our city.
Russian science is certainly not only about innovation but also about attracting young talent. This is precisely why the photo exhibition was opened. The exhibition, "My Priority," introduces Polytechnic University scientists and what inspires them to make breakthrough discoveries.
Pulkovo Airport is delighted to welcome the country's leading technological university. This is the third time we've opened an exhibition related to the Polytechnic University. This time, it's dedicated to the young scientists who achieve technological breakthroughs every day," noted Grigory Kuzmin.
Peter the Great Polytechnic University and St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport have strong business and friendship ties. Polytechnic students complete internships and placements at the airport, and many of the university's graduates continue to work at the airport.
Throughout its 126-year history, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has trained highly qualified specialists for key fields of science and technology. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to showcase our scientists within the walls of an international airport. Pulkovo not only integrates cutting-edge technologies into its operations but also actively promotes important educational efforts about the contribution of scientists to the country's technological leadership. Residents and visitors to St. Petersburg will have a fascinating opportunity to learn about Polytechnic University scientists and their developments, which are already changing the world, at the "My Priority" exhibition, emphasized Maxim Pasholikov.
