September 19th was a truly historic day at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport (IMMT) at SPbPU. It was marked by two significant events: the grand opening of a state-of-the-art Engineering Development Center and the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Heat Treatment Department.
SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy and IMMIT SPbPU Director Anatoly Popovich participated in the opening ceremony and celebratory events. They emphasized the continuity of generations and the profound connection between the institute's great history and innovative future.
"The center will become a breeding ground for talent and innovation for domestic industry," Andrey Rudskoy said during the ceremony. "Here, at the intersection of science and education, students will acquire unique competencies and work on real-world projects, making discoveries for the benefit of our country. And it's especially symbolic that we are laying the foundation for the future on a day when we celebrate our rich history."
"The Department of Heat Treatment's 95 years represent 95 years of training outstanding engineers, fundamental research, and technological breakthroughs," added Anatoly Popovich. "The new site—the Engineering Development Center—will be a worthy continuation of these traditions. It will inherit the scientific spirit and strict quality standards established by generations of scientists at this legendary department."
The anniversary celebration included a meeting with faculty members who had worked there at various times. Also present were graduates from various years, some of whom dedicated their lives to the Polytechnic University, while others chose other professional fields.
Symbolically, the first research projects at the new Center will focus on modern materials processing methods, continuing the scientific direction established by its predecessors. Thus, preserving and respecting its legacy, IMMiT is confidently building a high-tech future.
