Arman Holding, in collaboration with the Institute of Power Engineering at SPbPU, has created an innovative laboratory for low-power power machines in power engineering, aimed at addressing national human resources and technological challenges. It will host undergraduate and graduate classes in Power Engineering, focusing on "Turbines and Aircraft Engines," "Gas Turbine Units for Gas Pumping Stations," and "Steam and Gas Turbines." The laboratory is also designed to implement continuing education programs and train postgraduate students.
The opening of the laboratory is part of a long-term collaboration between SPbPU and Arman Energo.
Cooperation with Arman Holding is a shining example of the continuity of the polytechnic community: the company’s founder and president, Serikbay Bisekeyev, is our graduate, and nowHonorary Professor of the Polytechnic University"I would like to note that Arman Holding has awarded scholarships for the current academic year to five talented students and five faculty members who are particularly involved in working with them," emphasized SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.
"Let the best turbines in the world be created here, and you will take part in this," Serikbay Bisekeyev, president of Arman Holding, addressed the laboratory staff.
Arman Holding also awarded scholarships to five full-time students who demonstrated outstanding academic and research abilities.
Amount: 15,000 rubles per month for each student.
Payment period: academic year 2025/2026.
In addition, additional payments were awarded to five SPbPU teachers who creatively participate in the training of specialists in specialized disciplines (electronics, computer science, energy).
Amount and term: 15,000 rubles for each teacher (one-time payment amount for the academic year, taking into account insurance premiums and personal income tax).
Payment period: academic year 2025/2026.
