An open lecture by Ivan Panchenko, CEO of Postgres Professional, was held at the Polytechnic University. The event was attended by students, faculty, and database specialists.
Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova delivered a welcoming speech. She noted the significance of the signed cooperation agreement between SPbPU and Postgres Professional. The Polytechnic University has always been a leader in training IT specialists. Students from the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity and other departments study modern technologies and work with in-demand software. The agreement with Postgres Professional will open up new development opportunities in the field of databases.
Alexander Shchukin, head of the Applied Informatics educational program, emphasized that the signed agreement is a logical continuation of the development of the IT program at the Polytechnic University.
During his presentation, Ivan Panchenko discussed the history of PostgreSQL's development in Russia, the current state of the database management system industry, and the system's technical capabilities. Our guest also noted Postgres Professional's contribution to the development of the entire industry. The company not only creates its own line of PostgreSQL-based products—the Postgres Pro DBMS, which is included in the unified registry of Russian software—but also ranks second globally among developers contributing to the open source PostgreSQL project.
At the end of the event, everyone was able to ask Ivan Panchenko any questions they might have.
Following the official part of the event, a business meeting was held between Polytechnic University staff and Postgres Professional executives, where the key steps for implementing the cooperation roadmap were outlined. The planned events will be beneficial for Polytechnic University students and faculty, as well as all IT professionals.
