On November 24, a meeting of the Council of Supporting Scientific and Educational Organizations of the Rostec State Corporation was held in Moscow. It was attended by Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov, representatives of the Corporation's holding companies, and rectors of leading Russian universities, including a delegation from the State University of Management, led by Rector Vladimir Stroyev and Vice Rector Maria Karelina.
At the meeting, eight strategic partnership agreements were signed with eight leading Russian universities: RANEPA, Samara University named after Korolev, UUNiT, Moscow State Law University named after Kutafin, KNITU-KAI, National Research University MPEI, Russian State University named after Kosygin, and South Russian State Pedagogical University named after Platov.
The Minister of Education and Science noted that the Ministry, including in collaboration with Rostec and the Union of Mechanical Engineers, is currently implementing a number of major projects and programs aimed at improving the quality of engineering education and promoting its popularization. These projects include industrial postgraduate programs, a program for the construction of modern campuses, the creation of advanced engineering schools, and the Priority 2030 program.
"When these programs and projects are implemented in the regions, we see that the outflow of young people not only stops. In some cases, they serve as magnets for young scientists and specialists from all over the country," noted Valery Falkov.
Anton Alikhanov, in turn, noted that over the past five years, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has funded more than 1 trillion rubles in research and development through the state program "Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation." This program involves 155 universities and research organizations, as well as more than 1,300 enterprises.
"Over 550 projects have been supported under the unified R&D subsidy over six years. Since 2022, 470 projects have been implemented through the reverse engineering mechanism. Grants from the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises are also available to support startups with high commercialization potential. We have agreed with the Foundation to implement special programs specifically tailored to national tech leadership projects," said Anton Alikhanov, Minister of Industry and Trade.
"In these challenging times for the country, both universities and industry must work together for a common cause. The combined efforts of university research and industry yield positive practical results. To this end, we are building the closest possible partnerships with universities—our companies collaborate with 140 universities across the country. We are enriching our educational programs with disciplines in demand in real-world production. We are creating the conditions for the development of young science. We support Advanced Engineering Schools—we already have 22 of them. We are funding R&D at leading universities and research institutes, involving young scientists—last year alone, approximately 17 billion rubles were invested in this. We are participating in the industrial postgraduate program initiated by the Ministry of Education and Science. These and other measures are aimed at one goal—to make our country even stronger and technologically independent," commented Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation.
The Council of Supporting Scientific and Educational Organizations under the Rostec State Corporation was established in 2024. Its mission is to unite the efforts of science and industry to create new technological solutions. Its members are developing mechanisms for developing cooperation between science and industry. In 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved two fundamental documents aimed at strengthening interaction between the scientific and industrial sectors: the updated Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation and the Decree on the National Development Goals of the Country through 2030 and through 2036.
The meeting discussed pilot projects in the area of science and industry cooperation, including industrial postgraduate studies, the creation of research and production associations at universities, industrial state assignments, and others.
The project results were summarized by Elena Druzhinina, Managing Director for Science and Business Cooperation and Chair of the Council of Scientific and Educational Organizations.
The State University of Management has always been a leader in training management personnel for sectors of the domestic economy. Over the past two to three years, we have significantly expanded our competencies in unmanned technologies, engineering design, technology projects, digital platforms, robotics, and control system automation, as evidenced by the successful completion of a major research project in agricultural technology, contract work commissioned by companies within Transmashholding, and research projects within the framework of the RosGeoTech Scientific and Educational School. As we have come to understand over time, this is the right direction, which is undoubtedly aimed at achieving key national goals—achieving food security and the state's technological leadership. Such rapid development of fundamental and applied science is impossible without the support of the Ministry of Science and Education, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the Ministry of Economic Development.
"The university's technological focus on research enables us to train not only management personnel with high professional competencies in the industry, but also a pool of young scientists capable of teamwork and project leadership. The invitation the university received to this event is proof of this. In the near future, we plan to propose to Rostec Corporation projects that would be interesting for joint implementation. The university plans to continue developing in this area, expanding the scope of its scientific research. With significant engineering expertise, confirmed by successful experience in implementing large-scale projects, we soon plan to sign an agreement with PJSC Signal, which is part of JSC Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies, a subsidiary of Rostec State Corporation," said Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management.
Together with the Rostec State Corporation and the Moscow government, the State University of Management is a member of the "Quality of Life in a Megacity" consortium of divers, a strategic academic leadership program for the development of the Russian economy. The main goal of this partnership is to unite the efforts of government agencies, educational, and scientific organizations to address practical development challenges in megacities and urban agglomerations in the following areas: digital management technologies, integrated environmental safety, transportation, road infrastructure, and logistics, product promotion and sales, information and communication technologies, ensuring the safety, availability, and quality of food, goods, and services, and big data analysis in socioeconomic research.
