A communication session between Gazprom Neft universities and partners was held in Moscow. A key part of the discussion was mechanisms for strengthening research collaboration between educational institutions and industry-specific companies. The Polytechnic University was represented at the event by Dmitry Bogdanov, Director of the Gazpromneft-Polytechnic Scientific and Educational Center, and Inga Shustik, Chief Specialist at the Scientific and Educational Center. Shustik delivered a strategic presentation, presenting the educational program and outlining the philosophy behind personnel training, where each element is structured as an engineering system.

Over its 11 years of operation, the REC has created an educational ecosystem. As the speaker emphasized, the line between academic knowledge and practical application has been blurred. The center's engineers also serve as student mentors, and completed projects serve as case studies.

We prepare students for work by immediately immersing them in real production processes, Inga Shustik outlined our approach.

Events like these are an opportunity to receive feedback from the industry. We see a growing demand for specialists who can work at the intersection of disciplines. Our goal is to create an environment where theory is immediately reinforced by practice. This approach allows graduates to join companies as specialists, not interns, noted Dmitry Bogdanov.

The presentation focused on the Master's program "Mathematical Modeling of Oil and Gas Production Processes." According to Inga Shustik, this is not just an educational track, but a "social elevator" into the profession. 70 percent of students find employment at the REC while still studying, and 80% of graduates remain within Gazprom Neft.

Inga Shustik also discussed innovative courses in detail. The two-semester course "Fundamentals of Digital Engineering" includes theory and practice with generative neural networks, optimization methods, and real-world production challenges.

We teach students not just how to use AI, but how it changes the entire value chain—from exploration to production,” the speaker explained.

Of particular importance in the training of specialists is the participation of undergraduate and graduate students in the KNTN-3 project "Artificial Intelligence for Solving Cross-Industry Problems" under the leadership of Ivan Zhdanov as part of the Priority 2030 program, where they are working on the creation of a software platform for the automation of seismic data processing.

As part of the educational track, students are already solving modern projects.

Creation of PINN models for pressure prediction Development of transformers for GIS data interpretation Generative models for geological and geophysical data analysis

This integration of education, science, and production creates the basis for Russia's technological sovereignty in the oil and gas industry.

Our graduates join companies not as interns, but as fully-fledged specialists, ready to solve complex engineering problems, the speaker concluded.

The presented model demonstrates how modern education can become a driver of change in traditional industries, creating a talent pool for future technological leadership.

At the plenary session, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of our university, presented the results of our collaboration with partners in the Eurasian Economic Union and the University of Management's experience in implementing continuing professional education programs in the EAEU.

Thus, in 2022, the State University of Management was one of the initiators of the Eurasian Network University (ENU) research and education consortium, which has already united 38 universities from seven Eurasian countries. One of the priority areas of our university's cooperation with EAEU universities within the ENU consortium is the development and implementation of advanced training and continuing professional education (CPE) programs aimed at training qualified personnel from government agencies, enterprises, and businesses in EAEU countries. In 2024 alone, GUU developed and offered 17 such programs, with 324 quotas allocated by Rossotrudnichestvo. This year, more than 190 people have already joined the educational sessions.

"Reviews show a particularly high interest in such educational programs in the EAEU countries, largely due to the absence of a language barrier. I am confident that the implementation of such projects will help develop a new generation of managers in the EAEU region, operating based on specifically developed competencies and practical skills in building international economic cooperation," our rector concluded.

One of the forum's key outcomes was the initiative to establish the EAEU Center for Innovative Technologies, an association of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs, aimed at supporting applied research, implementing technology projects, and developing cooperation between universities and businesses. The organizers emphasized that the results of the main Eurasian educational dialogue will form the basis for a new roadmap for integration in education and science through 2030.

The consortium's events concluded with a tour of the Sulaiman-Too historical and archaeological complex and a series of working meetings for the participants.
