On December 19, at the State University of Management, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, met with Alexander Vaino, Director of the Young Professionals Department at the Agency for Strategic Initiatives for the Promotion of New Projects (ASI).
The guest outlined the key tasks facing the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, which are being addressed jointly with government agencies and business representatives.
"The development of technology leaders is on the agenda today. Furthermore, a university model is needed that can demonstrate the effectiveness of developing such leaders."
Vladimir Stroyev noted that GUU, historically an engineering and economics university, actively develops scientific research and the training of engineers and economists.
"In terms of implementing technological projects, we have a wide range of capabilities. We have developed a well-established model for collaboration between departments engaged in technological and design work, united into a unified engineering and design technology infrastructure at the university. Today, this includes the Student Design Bureau, the RosGeoTech Industrial Innovation Lab, created jointly with the Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technological University, and the Numerical Control Systems Lab, established thanks to a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science," the rector said.
Continuing the conversation, Alexander Vaino noted that developing entrepreneurial skills, including among the younger generation, is equally important, and that thematic shifts at children's centers could facilitate this.
Vladimir Stroev was pleased to tell the guest about the project-based learning implemented at the State University of Management (GUU) starting in the first year, and the entrepreneurship sessions the university runs at the country's largest children's centers: Artek, Okean, Smena, and Orlyonok.
"SUU is a recognized leader in implementing project-based learning in higher education. We were the first to integrate it into the educational process, and today, our university hosts the Interregional Educational and Methodological Center for Project-Based Learning, which integrates new practices and technologies in this area. We have significant experience developing entrepreneurial competencies, starting in school: we conduct entrepreneurship sessions at four of the country's largest children's centers, have been mentoring entrepreneurship classes for several years, and have prepared a thematic Olympiad, "The Future of Business," for the Russian Higher School of Economics, among other things," the rector summarized.
During the discussion, considerable attention was paid to the need to develop specialist training in new transport mobility and urban development modeling. Vladimir Stroyev noted that the State University of Management also has advances in developing predictive models that allow for a more accurate selection of the most appropriate solution in a given situation. These models are applicable to both global and urban challenges, as well as for personal use.
Following the meeting, Alexander Vaino was given a tour of the university campus, including a visit to the Pre-University, modern laboratories, and the media center.
At the end of the meeting, the participants exchanged pre-New Year gifts and agreed to discuss further cooperation in a working manner.
