The advanced engineering school of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" invites 3rd-4th year students of engineering and technical specialties from the CIS countries, China, India, Iran, South Africa, Cuba and Indonesia, as well as future engineers studying at universities in St. Petersburg, to take part in the Winter University in Engineering Sciences "Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies".
The event will be held with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Sociocenter, the international services of SPbPU and the Center for work with applicants of SPbPU.
The goal of the Winter University is to strengthen ties and expand cooperation between young engineers. The project is aimed at developing engineering competencies and improving the qualifications of students, in particular in such areas as digital technologies, systems digital engineering and artificial intelligence.
The Winter University will be held from November 24 to December 7, 2025, at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Samara University named after Korolev, and Novgorod State University named after Yaroslav the Wise.
The application period will end on September 30, 2025. Registration and the conditions of participation are available on the Winter University website.
Training program at the Winter University at the SPbPU PISh site, designed for 150 participants, consists of technical modules, an introductory course in Russian for English-speaking students, and a cultural and entertainment program.
The training involves completing one of three equivalent engineering tracks in Russian and English, consisting of educational and design-laboratory modules.
The Technologist track for Russian-speaking students includes the following modules:
Laboratory for Digital Transformation and Lean Manufacturing; Laboratory for Intelligent Robotics and Cyber-Physical Systems (Smart Manufacturing and Industrial AI); Project Laboratory for the Application of AI Technologies to Various Types of Data; Laboratory for Polymer Composite Materials.
The Engineer track for Russian-speaking students includes the following modules:
Modern engineering in high-tech industries; Aerodynamics of the aircraft wing profile; Project laboratory for design; Personal efficiency. Training for the development of personal and professional skills.
The Innovator track for English-speaking students includes modules:
Intelligent Robotics and Cyber-Physical Systems Lab (Smart Manufacturing and Industrial AI); Supply Chain Management; Design Project Lab; Recognizing Opportunities and Generating High-Tech Startup Ideas.
The architecture of each track combines: a design module, an industrial partner module, a soft-skills module and a project module.
The modules are conducted in parallel, each of them lasts two days and takes place in groups of 15-20 people.
Over the course of two weeks, students will be introduced to business process optimization, industrial AI technologies, advanced neural network architectures, polymer composite materials, and modern digital engineering technologies.
The educational and project parts of the Winter University will be conducted by teachers of the Higher School of International Educational Programs and employees of the leading departments of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering": Engineering Center "Computer Engineering Center" (CompMechLab®); Scientific and Educational Center "Aircraft Engines and Power Plants"; Center for Continuing Professional Education; North-West Interuniversity Regional Educational and Scientific Center "Polytech-Cyberphysics"; Research Laboratory "Laboratory for Analysis of Biomedical Images and Data".
The Winter University “Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies” is a unique opportunity for students to expand their knowledge, develop professional skills and establish contacts with leading experts in the field of engineering and technology.
The event's partners include such large companies as Gazprom Neft, Kronstadt Engineering Center, UEC, TVEL, CentroTech-Engineering, Power Machines, Severstal, and others.
A rich cultural program has been prepared for students, including excursions to the main attractions of St. Petersburg, visits to museums and architectural monuments, as well as events aimed at intercultural communication and familiarization with the history and traditions of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. In addition to the educational program, participants will be offered lectures by invited experts, an Engineering Championship and an AI quiz show
SPbPU's advanced engineering school "Digital Engineering" is actively developing international cooperation with friendly countries in the field of engineering education, including the implementation of advanced practices and approaches to training highly qualified world-class specialists.
Thus, in 2023, the SPbPU PISh became a venue for holding Schools of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies. More than 100 students from Russian and Belarusian universities successfully completed training in four areas of professional training: autonomous and unmanned transport, computer engineering, and design based on topological optimization.
In 2024, SPbPU successfully completed the Winter University in Engineering Sciences "New Scientific Horizons". Its participants included 220 students from 63 universities in Russia, the CIS and other countries. 170 young people represented 44 foreign universities in the Republic of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Tajikistan, China, South Africa, Iran and India. The students gained new knowledge about digital technologies in engineering, got acquainted with the technologies of system digital engineering, trained on computer simulators and simulators, conducted laboratory work and established friendly and partnership relations within the framework of joint team projects.
The success of the events confirms the demand for such international educational projects. The unique format of the events, combining theoretical training with practical work on modern equipment, helps to develop the competencies necessary for successful work in high-tech industries. In addition, such events pay special attention to the development of teamwork and intercultural communication skills, which is an important factor for future international engineers.
