At Petrozavodsk State University (PetrSU), with the support of the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs (FIOP), the RUSNANO Group has completed the development of a professional development program for specialists engaged in the design and production of the element base of radiophotonics with nanoscale components. In February 2021, the training of a pilot group of employees of JSC OKB-Planeta (Veliky Novgorod), which acted as the customer and industrial partner of the educational project, will begin. The new program became the seventh joint project RUN and the University.
The need to train the personnel of Russian radio electronics enterprises is explained by the inevitability of their modernization in connection with the transition to the nanoscale scale of the element base, used in particular for the creation of domestic super-powerful electronic computers (computers) capable of working with high-speed communication lines with data transmission volumes up to tens, hundreds and even thousands of gigabytes per second. The direction is considered by experts to be extremely promising. Many believe that the introduction of integrated optoelectronic and photonic devices will become ubiquitous, as they create fundamentally new ways of transmitting, storing and processing information.
The 246-hour training course is designed for three categories of professionals:
- research engineers of the component base of radiophotonic devices and systems;
- design engineers of radiophotonic devices and systems;
- process engineers engaged in the production of the component base of radiophotonics.
The program consists of several educational modules.
The program is carried out at a high professional level and will allow students to develop unique competencies and skills for qualified specialists in Russia, according to the professor of the Royal Swedish Institute of TechnologyAlexander Grishin.
The educational program is available not only for specialized enterprises that want to improve the professional level of their employees. It is also a contribution to the growth of the competencies of the university itself and its students. The University invites its teachers, employees and masters of Engineering to participate in the training within the framework of the pilot group. To register for the program, please contact the Department of Scientific and Educational ProgramsNanotechnology Center Of PetrSU. For a more detailed introduction to the new course, a free online seminar on the functionality of the "Wave Optics" module will begin on January 29, 2021 at 14:00. To participate, you must register.
The educational projects implemented with the participation of the Foundation have become a key resource for the development of the university and long-term cooperation with business, says the head of the Department of Scientific and educational programs of the Nanocenter of PetrSUNatalia Yershova. During this time, four basic departments were opened at the enterprises in whose interests the training was conducted.
Thanks to the acquired competencies, the industrial partners have implemented technologies that give a significant economic effect, or have started to produce new products.
Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs
One of the largest institutes for the development of innovative infrastructure in Russia. It was created on the basis of the law "On the Reorganization of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies" in 2010. On October 22, 2020, the Foundation for Infrastructure and Educational Programs turned 10 years old.
The purpose of the Fund - financial and non-financial development, nanotechnology and other high-tech sectors of the economy through the implementation of national projects, the formation and development of innovation infrastructure, the transformation of further education through the creation of new curricula and educational technologies, providing institutional support and information, contributing to the launch of technology solutions and products, including in the field of end-to-end digital technologies.
Chairman of the Board, as the governing body, is Chairman of the Board of RUSNANO" Sergey Kulikov.
