The last month of the year was very eventful for the participants of the PoliShkola project.
Young technology leaders from Polytechnic University visited Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The purpose of the internship was to exchange experiences in organizing scientific and educational activities, study best project management practices, and identify promising areas for joint research and projects.
During the meetings, special attention was paid to BMSTU's comprehensive programs for working with faculty and researchers. Colleagues shared their experiences supporting young professionals, including, for example, methodological support for obtaining candidate and doctoral degrees. The polytechnics were also introduced to and invited to join the unified "Practice Showcase" developed by BMSTU as part of the "Priority 2030" program—a platform designed to share best practices among the country's leading universities.
The visit also included a visit to key laboratory and research centers of MSTU:
The Aurora Mobile Platform laboratory, where development work on the domestic operating system is underway, including the creation of secure applications and specialized software. Colleagues showcased student achievements and discussed monetization and market interactions; the Cybersecurity Monitoring Center (SOC), organized according to a full-cycle principle: from educational programs and scientific research to commercial services and expert support for partners. Internship participants noted the effective model of collaboration with an industrial partner and the involvement of students in real-world projects, starting from their junior years; the Polymer Materials Laboratory, which specializes in the creation of new compounds for additive technologies. SPbPU specialists observed the operation of cutting-edge installations in real time and also received expert advice on developing their own developments in membrane water purification; and the Industrial Internet of Things in Digital Manufacturing laboratory, which includes the Flexible Manufacturing Cell—a simulator for acquiring in-demand practical skills in industrial robotics. Colleagues highlighted the operating features of the devices and the details of collaboration with enterprises.
Following the visit, the partners outlined specific areas for further collaboration, including organizing a return visit by representatives from Bauman Moscow State Technical University to the Polytechnic University, sharing best practices in the development of research and teaching staff, and exploring opportunities for joint research projects in cybersecurity, new materials, and robotics.
Participants praised the tour's informative and dynamic nature. The Polytechnic students were particularly impressed by the university campus, with its interesting architectural designs and well-thought-out navigation, high-tech labs, spacious classrooms, and stylish coworking areas.
The PoliSchool program concluded with the final defense of the teams' projects.
The work was evaluated by Alexey Borovkov, Chief Designer of the Scientific and Technological Program "System Digital Engineering," Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Maria Vrublevskaya, Vice-Rector for Human Resources, Oleg Rozhdestvensky, Head of the Office of Technological Leadership, Marina Bolsunovskaya, a representative of the "Artificial Intelligence for Cross-Industry Problem Solving" program, and Oleg Panchenko, a representative of the "Materials, Technologies, and Production" program.
Following the opening remarks by PoliShkola project mentor Maria Vrublevskaya, the presentation session began. For two hours, ten student teams presented the results of their work.
Participants presented projects covering cutting-edge fields of science and technology: medicine and biotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, electronics, and education. Each project had a clearly applied nature and was aimed at solving specific technological or social problems.
The level of sophistication and the promise of the solutions we saw today are directly in line with the spirit of PolySchool—a practical leadership school for young people with initiative. Participants don't just propose ideas; they create working prototypes and consider the logic behind their implementation, noted Maria Vrublevskaya.
Interesting projects reached the PolySchool finals. The students demonstrated their commitment and desire to contribute to achieving the country's technological leadership. Much work remains, especially in terms of creating in-demand products from the solutions and technologies developed. I wish everyone good luck and strength to complete this journey," concluded Oleg Rozhdestvensky.
At the end of the defense, all participants were presented with commemorative gifts.
