The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade successfully defended their final qualification works "Project as a Final Qualification Work". 21 projects were completed in a special format: nine complex and 12 group projects, in which 57 final-year students took part (48 undergraduate, nine specialist and master's students).

A group final qualifying work is a coordinated development or research carried out by a team of students united by one object and common problems. A comprehensive final qualifying work is a joint development or research carried out by a team of students within the framework of a common topic.

Since 2023, our institute has been actively and successfully implementing projects for the preparation and defense of final qualification works of bachelors, specialists and masters commissioned by industrial partners, government agencies and commercial organizations in the format of “Project as a final qualification work”. A special feature of our projects is that they are all carried out by multipotential teams consisting of students from different educational programs, and in most cases, from different fields of study. I would like to note the great interest on the part of students: they not only demonstrate qualifications in their field, but also acquire new related knowledge and skills, including in teamwork, – notes Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of IPMEIT.

In 2023, the institute completed three group final qualification works commissioned by partners: Power Machines — Leningrad Metal Plant, TGK-1, and TD-Materik. Last year, 13 project final qualification works were presented (four integrated and nine group). The list of customers, in addition to industrial enterprises, included representatives of retail and the public sector.

This year, IPMET has carried out a lot of preliminary work on interaction with potential customers and received requests for projects to be carried out by multipotential teams from more than 20 employer representatives. These are Eurostil, the Center for Competence in Tourism and Hospitality, the ASI All-Russian Accelerator for Industrial Tourism, MKT, the Krasnogvardeisky District Center for Scientific and Technical Information, the Rosfinmonitoring Regional Office for the Northwestern Federal District, and the PlaceMarket restaurant chain.

Significant contributions were made by the directors of the higher schools of IPMEiT Olga Kalinina, Dmitry Rodionov, Olga Voronova, Olga Nadezhina, as well as those responsible for project activities in the structural divisions.

Projects developed and implemented by students allow for a significant expansion of resource capabilities. Students actively generate ideas, exchange knowledge and experience, and improve their teamwork skills. They need to constructively resolve disagreements and make decisions collectively to achieve results. All this is extremely important for a specialist entering active working life, emphasized Yulia Akimova, Head of the Center for Team Building and Project Solutions at IPMET.

All projects received high marks from customers, and final qualifying works were awarded “excellent” marks by state examination committees.

The Institute implements defenses of final qualification works in various formats, providing high-quality methodological and organizational support. Our team of managers, consultants and mentors in close cooperation with qualified customers are always ready to help student teams, competently organize their work and focus on the result, – emphasized the Deputy Director of IPMET for educational and methodological work Anna Chernikova.

Most of the students participating in “projects like final qualifying work” are already employed or have received offers from customers.

SPbPU Master's graduate Do The Manh received one of the university's highest awards – a gold medal. He studied at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications in the field of "Secure Telecommunication Systems". In an interview, he spoke about his path, his love for St. Petersburg and advice to future international students.

— Congratulations on the gold medal! This is an outstanding achievement. Tell us why you chose Russia, St. Petersburg and the Polytechnic?

— For the Vietnamese, Russia is a friendly country. Historical ties are very strong. We know that Russia has powerful technologies, especially in telecommunications — reliable, excellent systems. First, I chose a direction, then decided to study in Russia, and then I learned about the Polytechnic. It attracted me not only by the level of science, but also by the atmosphere, the beauty of the city and student life.

— You went from a bachelor’s degree to a master’s degree at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications. Why telecommunications?

— I became interested in it back in school. I liked how Wi-Fi and the Internet worked. I wanted to understand the principles, how it was installed and how it could be improved. That’s how I decided on the direction.

— Have your expectations from studying been met now, with a master’s degree in hand?

– Absolutely! The knowledge turned out to be deep and very important for a future career. Expectations were fully met.

— What were your first impressions of St. Petersburg and the Polytechnic University seven years ago?

— The city captivated me with its beauty right away: the streets, the architecture, the sights. The number of foreign students at the Polytechnic was astounding — over 5,000! We lived in a dormitory. The Russian language was not easy, especially because of the Cyrillic alphabet. But the teachers at the preparatory faculty were amazingly kind and patient, they explained everything very specifically. It helped a lot.

— The path to the gold medal was clearly not easy. What was the most difficult?

— It was very difficult to combine studies with social work. I was the chairman of the Association of Vietnamese Students in St. Petersburg and a member of the association in Russia. There were many organizational matters, and sometimes the balance between studies and social work failed.

— How did you manage to overcome this imbalance?

— The teachers and the management helped. I knew that I could turn to them for help or advice. And I am very grateful for such support — without it, it would have been more difficult to get a medal.

— Which subjects or teachers did you remember the most?

— The classes of my scientific supervisor Alexander Leonidovich Gelgor were especially inspiring. He taught several subjects both in the bachelor's and master's programs. His lectures and seminars were incredibly interesting because they combined theory and practice. I think that not only I, but also most of the group appreciated them for this.

— Besides the language, what difficulties did you face as a foreign student?

— At first, it was difficult to communicate with Russian classmates. My Vietnamese friend and I stuck together, there was a certain wall. But it collapsed after a semester. We started communicating about our studies — we helped each other with assignments, we had a good school base. And then our friendship went beyond the classroom. We went for walks, spent time together.

— Climate, food, everyday life — what was the most unusual?

— The climate! Definitely! In Vietnam, the minimum temperature is 10°C, and in my first winter here I encountered -30°C! It was a shock. But by the second winter I got used to it — it was freezing outside, but the hostel was always warm. There were no problems with food. I really loved borscht! And Russian shashlik is not just food, but a whole atmosphere: company, new places, laughter… A special tradition.

— Did you learn Russian from scratch at the preparatory faculty?

— Almost. In Vietnam, I spent six months learning the basics: the alphabet, basic phrases. Serious grammar and practice began here. I even walked and talked to people on the streets on purpose — I practiced and learned a lot of interesting things about their lives and experiences. The preparatory course gave me much more than just the language.

— What did you like most about St. Petersburg?

— I love everything here! Over the course of seven years, the city, the people, the university, the teachers, the friends — everything has become familiar and dear.

— Did you manage to get to know Russian culture more deeply?

— Yes! Thanks to our work in the association, we were often invited to events by the Committee on External Relations and the Committee on Youth Policy of St. Petersburg. We tried national cuisine and learned about traditions. It is amazing how history is honored and culture is preserved here. This largely explains Russia's place in the world.

— What have these seven years been like for you?

— It was a path from a schoolboy to a specialist. I matured internally, learned to manage my time, earned the respect of those around me. I received a colossal amount of baggage — not only knowledge, but also life experience.

— What skills, professional and personal, do you consider the most valuable?

— The ability to plan studies and life, to manage time. And respect for people — beyond any doubt.

— What would you tell yourself 7 years ago, on your first day at the Polytechnic?

– Don't be shy! Act! There were moments when shyness prevented me from doing something, and then I regretted it. If you want something, do it boldly!

— Was there anything completely unexpected, good or difficult?

— The most unexpected and pleasant surprise was the gold medal! I didn’t even know it existed at first. I found out later, but the main goal was always to gain knowledge in order to apply it in Vietnam. The medal is a wonderful bonus to that.

— What are your plans now? Is a Polytechnic diploma an advantage in Vietnam?

— I'm going back to Vietnam soon to work in my specialty. There's already a place. A Polytechnic diploma is certainly a strong advantage. Russia is known for its technologies, and Polytechnic has a high rating and teachers recognized in our field. This is appreciated.

— Will you maintain contact with Russia?

— Definitely! With friends, teachers, the university. And if the work requires deepening of knowledge, perhaps I will return to graduate school.

— What is your main advice to future foreign students of the Polytechnic University?

— Learn Russian. Don't be shy about communicating with Russians! Plan your studies. Know how to manage your time. And most importantly: don't be afraid to ask your teachers. They are friendly and will always help you figure things out.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Polytechnic University held its eighth annual Summer School, an educational intensive for high school students that brought together talented children from all over the country. This year, 88 high school students from St. Petersburg and other regions of Russia who passed a competitive selection took part.

The Summer School program included four areas that combined theory, practice, and excursions to leading enterprises. The students visited UEC-Klimov, the Petersburg Tractor Plant, the Institute of Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, NIIEFA, the IT Contact company, and the Volkhov Hydroelectric Power Station. In the final, they defended solutions to cases provided by the organizers.

On the Wings of Polytech track, the participants worked on optimizing the wing design. They created a model in KOMPAS-3D, conducted virtual tests in ANSYS, calculated the load and lift at different angles of attack. The final stage was 3D printing of the wing and its testing on a special stand. The guys presented the results in the form of an engineering report with the defense of the project. The teachers of the program were engineers of the Higher School of Power Engineering and the Scientific and Educational Center "Aircraft Engines and Power Plants" PISh CI Nikita Izbyakov, Andrey Shirokih and Anastasia Bodunova.

Participants in the track "Energovaybe: how to tame the energy current and not burn out" successfully designed an efficient power supply system for a private home. They analyzed the needs of future residents and developed an optimal layout for electrical appliances, including sockets, switches, and lighting fixtures. To ensure reliable power supply, students calculated the parameters of the key elements of the system and prepared a detailed power distribution plan. The project took into account modern requirements for safety, energy efficiency, and ease of use.

The students studied electric power engineering with maximum focus on practical applicability. Testing the operation of electrical appliances, conducting experiments on connecting light bulbs, the first modeling in a popular engineering application, developing their own power supply scheme – the participants of the Summer School had no time to get bored, – noted Maria Lyulina, senior lecturer of the Higher School of Electric Power Systems.

In the track "Linguistics in the Digital Age: from Data Analysis to Artificial Intelligence", schoolchildren analyzed excerpts from English textbooks for grades 7–11 to assess their complexity. Using special metrics and automatic text processing tools, they found out how the "from simple to complex" principle is observed in the school curriculum. The results will help textbook authors adjust the selection of materials, and teachers will be able to adapt complex texts for better understanding. The track was organized by teachers and staff of the Higher School of Linguistics and Pedagogy Alexander Dmitriev, Marina Kogan and Elena Krupnova.

In the "How it works: mechanical engineering" program, schoolchildren successfully designed and calculated a single-stage gearbox, a key mechanism for industrial equipment. They performed energy-kinematic calculations, created a 3D model, and analyzed various production technologies, including traditional processing and 3D printing. The intensive course allowed future engineers to master modern methods of designing mechanical systems and understand the principles of choosing optimal production solutions.

The summer school is a unique opportunity for schoolchildren to immerse themselves in student life and get acquainted with their future profession. Working in groups, together with interested and motivated children, allows them to delve deeper into various technologies of modern professions, – noted the director of the Center for Work with Applicants Artem Egupov.

The best teams received additional points, which will be taken into account when entering SPbPU, as well as gifts.

The most valuable thing for me was the acquired experience of teamwork and practical skills of working in KOMPAS-3D. The teachers presented the material in an accessible and exciting way, so it was really interesting. Thanks to the coordinated work, we were able to overcome all the difficulties and achieved an excellent result in the defense of the projects, – shared Leonid Svetlyakov.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The sports and technical creativity club "Extreme" took part in the final of the Karelia Rally Cup – the legendary race "White Nights", which took place in the Lakhdenpokhsky district of the Republic of Karelia. In the team standings, the polytechnicians were awarded bronze medals.

The competition was held on roads that had never been used as race tracks before. The new tracks became a real test of strength for the pilots and equipment. The mechanics also had to face various difficulties: on narrow rocky special stages, which were washed away by rain on the second day, not all athletes managed to find a balance between speed and caution.

Three Extreme crews reached the finish line. In the 2000N category, bronze medals were won by Andrey Zhukovsky and Konstantin Mukhamendrikov in a Ford Fiesta, despite the fact that the crew overcame the last special stages with serious problems.

Getting there somehow is better than dropping out of the race, the crew members sum up briefly.

IMMiT 2022 graduate Danil Kolpin and Valery Smirnov earned credit points in the 1600N category on a VAZ-2108. The Polytechnicians assembled the car on the basis of the KSTT from a bare body.

On the first day, the brakes created problems, on the second day, the electrics and gearbox. On such roads, the power steering was sorely lacking. The development vector is clear, we will improve the car and next time we will drive much more effectively, – shared Danil Kolpin.

Pavel Alekseev and IE student Mikhail Krasovitsky were one step away from winning medals in a Renault Logan in the Standard category, which is intended for cars without serious sports modifications.

On the very first special stage, a couple of turns from the finish, we hit the fuel tank and tore off the fuel pump. We got to the service station on a rope and spent the rest of the first day searching for and fixing the problem. We started the second day in eighth place with a big time penalty, we didn’t finish any special stage lower than third place, but, alas, we couldn’t make up the rest of the penalty minutes. In the end, we were fourth. For a fully factory “Logan”, this is an excellent result, but we strive for the best, – said Mikhail Krasovitsky.

It was a tough race for the Polytechnicians. In such conditions, it is important not to give up, to continue the fight to reach the finish. It is impossible to win if you do not reach the end. This is probably our main principle of the team, – commented the team leader, mechanic of the Department of Transport and Mechanization of SPbPU Sergey Korovay.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The 15th anniversary industrial exhibition INNOPROM continues its work in Yekaterinburg. Today the pavilions opened their doors to all categories of visitors, and the flow of guests has noticeably increased. The trend of this year's exhibition is the demonstration of advanced developments that have already proven their effectiveness in real production conditions.

The delegation of the Polytechnic University takes part in key events of the business program, where current issues of industrial development, innovative technologies and scientific and technical cooperation are discussed.

Thus, at the Polytechnic stand, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Federal State Autonomous Institution “Digital Industrial Technologies” and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The document, which envisages cooperation between the parties in order to implement joint expert and analytical activities aimed at highlighting the results and stimulating the development and effective application of advanced digital and production technologies, artificial intelligence technologies in industrial sectors of the Russian Federation economy, was signed by the director of the organization Eduard Shantayev and the chief designer for the key scientific and technological development area of SPbPU "System Digital Engineering", director of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" Alexey Borovkov.

Alexey Borovkov also took part in the events of the INNOPROM business program, including the session "Fast. Complex. Precise. How additive technologies accelerate industrial development." The participants discussed the prospects for industry growth due to increased demand for additive technologies and materials, tools for interaction between business, science and the state, as well as successful cases of implementing such technologies in industry.

During his speech, Alexey Ivanovich spoke about a world-class project carried out in the interests of the Fuel Division of the Rosatom State Corporation – the development of a digital twin of a VVER-1000 fuel assembly (FA) with an anti-debris filter and mixing grids.

The optimized design of the anti-debris filter and the geometry of the mixing grids of the fuel assembly was developed in six months and, in contrast to the original product, is 10 times more efficient, the speaker emphasized.

Alexey Borovkov also presented the developments of the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering", including demonstrators of overprinting and induction welding technologies for thermoplastic composite materials, as well as automated laying out of thermoplastic unidirectional prepregs.

According to Alexey Borovkov, overprinting technology is ideal for working with engineering polymers due to the absence of a number of technological limitations and is of great interest for integration into large technological chains: laying out – stamping – printing.

An award ceremony was held at the Polytechnic stand. For his great contribution to the development of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the General Director of the Union of Defense Industry Enterprises of the Sverdlovsk Region Vladimir Shchelokov received the "For Merits" badge of distinction. The honorary award was presented to him by the Scientific Secretary of SPbPU Dmitry Karpov.

SPbPU is an active member of the Union. The University improves the quality of personnel training in the military-industrial complex, as well as in the field of scientific research and educational services. The Union participates in the implementation of federal target programs and technology platforms to achieve leadership in the leading high-tech sectors of the economy: aviation and engine building, rocket and space industry, nuclear power complex, shipbuilding, electronic and radio-electronic industry and others. The Union includes more than 100 enterprises and organizations.

It is a great honor for me to receive this award. I would like to express my gratitude for the fruitful cooperation with the Polytechnic University. A distinctive feature of your university is the ability to implement projects, and visual confirmation of this can be seen at the exhibition stand. There is much to learn from the Polytechnic University. And I am sincerely proud of our friendship, – said Vladimir Shchelokov.

In turn, Vladimir Shchelokov awarded the director of the Center for Scientific and Technological Partnership and Targeted Training of SPbPU Oleg Ipatov with a commemorative medal “80 Years of the Great Victory”.

This year, INNOPROM pays special attention to machines, units, machine tools and robotic systems that are actively used in various industries today. The technological potential of SPbPU is presented at a separate stand. Here, visitors can get acquainted with innovative developments that have undergone practical testing and are ready for implementation in industrial production.

At the exhibition, a team from the Laboratory of Light Materials and Structures (LLMS) of IMMiT demonstrated electric arc 3D printing. Right before the eyes of the audience, a "Laval nozzle" was created – a gas channel of a special profile designed to accelerate the gas flow to supersonic speeds.

The printing technology is based on melting metal wire using an electric arc. This approach allows for high-speed production of products: up to 2.2 kg/h for aluminum alloys and up to 6 kg/h for steel. The key advantage is the absence of restrictions on the shape of the part: the manipulator easily moves along the rail system and follows the growth of the product, which allows for the implementation of the concept of an open production cell.

The laboratory carries out a full cycle of implementation of additive technologies – design and launch of 3D printing installations, personnel training, technical support and production support.

Mikhail Kuznetsov, Head of the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory at the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, spoke about the laboratory's work at INNOPROM: At the exhibition, we presented the "Nomad" laser cladding complex, samples made using laser welding and additive technologies. Of particular interest are the hip joint cups. The samples were made as part of R&D in close cooperation with the Armalit JSC company with the participation of the Vreden Institute of Traumatology and are evidence of how modern solutions can effectively work to address the challenges of import substitution and technological sovereignty of the country. We held a number of productive meetings with industry representatives and engineering centers from different regions of Russia. It is especially valuable that enterprises from a wide variety of industries, from aircraft manufacturing to medicine, are interested in our technologies. This indicates a high degree of versatility and applied significance of our solutions.

The Polytechnic University was also represented in the international agenda of the forum. Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Computer Technology and Information Systems of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Leading Researcher of the Gazpromneft-Polytech Scientific and Educational Center, Analyst in the project "Automation of Seismic Data Processing Using Artificial Neural Networks" Sergey Khlopin took part in the round table "Russian-Chinese Scientific and Technical Cooperation in the Field of Development and Implementation of High Technologies". As part of the session "Projects and Technologies in the Field of Intellectual Production", he made a report "Current Models for the Implementation of Digital Technological Projects in the Field of Geological Exploration". Sergey Vladimirovich spoke about the cooperation between SPbPU and Chinese partners.

Sergey Khlopin, commenting on the results of his speech, noted: This year, INNOPROM-2025 became a platform for demonstrating the start of the work process of Gazpromneft-Polytech REC specialists in the field of AI application for geological exploration. One of the key tasks that the models being created will be aimed at solving in the future is the labor-intensive manual processing of seismic information. In tests, the model shows accuracy comparable to classical methods on linear data, but significantly exceeds them in cases with nonlinear dependencies, which are more common in practice. However, the project has just started, so the team faces various difficulties during development. Neural networks do not always give the correct result. We are solving the problem of the relevance of the data received.

Since 2018, Polytech has implemented more than 20 contracts for research and development work with 12 of the largest industrial and research companies in China. The most active cooperation is in the field of telecommunications and IT technologies, aviation industry, automotive industry and new materials. During the discussion of the interaction of the Gazpromneft-Polytech REC with an industrial partner, Sergey Khlopin demonstrated the successful experience of implementing a scientific project aimed at the practical application of the results of industrial operation. He also emphasized the importance of further developing cooperation and expressed confidence in the formation of reliable partnerships with representatives of the PRC in an alliance with an industrial partner.

The delegation of SPbPU included the head of the Project Office "Slavic Universities" Nikita Golovin, associate professor of the Higher Engineering Physics School of the Institute of Economics and Technology Viktor Malyugin, representatives of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Power Engineering of the Institute of Scientific Research – Professor Natalia Politaeva and Associate Professor Alexander Chusov, as well as the head of the Quality Control Department Maxim Dyuldin.

The program of the visit focused on two main areas: the development of a comprehensive plan for the development of the High-Mountain Observatory of Atmospheric Physics of KRSU (VGOFAP) and the joint implementation of applied projects in the interests of KRSU’s industrial partner, Alliance Altyn LLC.

The high-mountain observatory is located in the north-east of Kyrgyzstan and is a unique scientific laboratory conducting scientific research in the field of atmospheric physics, ecology, climate change, interaction of geospheres, geodynamics and seismology. To get acquainted with the scientific equipment and areas of research, the Polytechnic delegation visited the observatory and assessed the capabilities of the infrastructure.

The Polytechnics also held a field meeting with the Vice-Rector for International, Scientific and Innovative Activities of KRSU and the Director of the Observatory Leonid Sverdlik, where they discussed the observatory's development directions and possible applied projects. Dean German Lotsev, Deputy Dean for Research Natalia Ershova and Director of the Scientific and Technical Center Dmitry Glazunov participated in the meeting on behalf of KRSU. The Polytechnic representatives proposed solutions to problems aimed at maintaining a safe environmental situation in the Issyk-Kul Lake area and in Bishkek.

In particular, they discussed a project to measure the parameters of dust aerosol flows (concentration, quantitative and granulometric composition of dust particles, direction and speed of dust flow transfer) based on the observatory, as well as dustiness within Bishkek (comparative diagnostics method). To do this, it is necessary to modernize the infrastructure and place additional equipment on the territory of KRSU in Bishkek. It is possible to use the existing mobile environmental laboratory of KRSU. The project will result in recommendations for improving the environmental situation. It is planned to involve specialists from the Civil Engineering Institute and the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications in the work.

The Polytechnic delegation visited the scientific station of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Bishkek, which conducts research into modern geodynamic processes as a basis for earthquake forecasting, seismological research based on the digital telemetry seismological network in the territory of the Bishkek forecasting polygon and a number of other works related to seismic processes in the region. For KRSU, the scientific center is a partner for student practices and internships, as well as in conducting scientific work, including jointly with the High-Mountain Observatory of Atmospheric Physics of KRSU.

The station's director, Anatoly Rybin, introduced the polytechnicians to the laboratories, main areas of work and results. SPbPU professor Viktor Malyugin shared with his Kyrgyz colleagues proposals for the implementation of a joint (with KRSU and the RAS) applied project to develop fiber-optic sensors for measuring seismic activity and predicting catastrophic situations. Its goal is to measure displacements and stress distribution in the Issyk-Ata fault area (Bishkek is located in a seismically dangerous region, and most of the city is in the 8-9-point zone). In the future, it will be possible to use the measurement results to predict seismic activity in the region. It is planned to involve specialists from the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications and the Institute of Power Engineering.

The final stage of the visit was an extended meeting of representatives of the two universities. The parties confirmed their interest in developing the infrastructure of the KRSU VGOFAP and implementing scientific and educational projects on its basis. The participants also discussed cooperation between the research groups of the universities and interaction with industrial partners. According to the roadmap of joint events of SPbPU—KRSU, by the end of 2025 they will develop a comprehensive plan for the development of the KRSU High-Mountain Observatory of Atmospheric Physics and determine the range of work, including the modernization of the scientific infrastructure.

In addition, a meeting was held with the industrial partner of KRSU "Alyans Altyn" to coordinate joint projects. At the first stage, SPbPU specialists will participate in the implementation of developments in three areas:

implementation of lean manufacturing principles to optimize processes, reduce losses and improve the efficiency of all departments (PISh CI SPbPU); automation and digitalization of production and management processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs and ensure transparency (Higher School of UKFS IKNK SPbPU); implementation of technologies and practices aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment, based on environmental monitoring data (ISI SPbPU).

The meeting participants discussed the conclusion of contracts for R&D, as well as the involvement of students and young scientists in applied developments and industrial projects. The polytechnics shared their experience of cooperation with large industrial companies and gave recommendations on contractual work with Alliance Altyn. The parties agreed to consider in more detail the issue of opening a specialized scientific and educational center at KRSU together with a partner company.
