The 15th International Forum "The Arctic: Present and Future" named after A. N. Chilingarov was held in St. Petersburg on December 9–10. SPbGASU was represented by Olga Pastukh, Deputy Dean for Research of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural and Civil Engineering, PhD in Architecture; Sergey Lanko, Associate Professor of the Department of Geotechnics, PhD in Engineering; and Tatyana Zherebko, Assistant Professor of the Department of Technosphere Safety, along with a group of students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering.
This year, the forum brought together thousands of participants to develop solutions in key areas: from resource development technologies and logistics to ecology, youth, human resources, and social policy.
At the forum, SPbGASU students attended thematic master classes, learned about modern approaches to solving engineering and environmental problems in the Arctic, and visited a large-scale exhibition showcasing the latest technologies, equipment, and projects for working in high latitudes.
"Participation in the forum allowed our students to broaden their professional horizons, gain a closer understanding of new technologies in geotechnics, technosphere safety, and innovations in structural and thermal insulation materials. They also expanded their understanding of space-planning and design solutions for construction in the Far North and Arctic zones of the Russian Federation, and established contacts with representatives of industry companies, scientific, and educational organizations. For faculty, the trip was an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences with colleagues, discuss current trends, and identify new directions for scientific and practical research," noted Tatyana Zherebko.
