Another agreement was signed by Gubkin Russian State University with Perm Polytechnic University, a member of the REC. It opens up opportunities for academic exchange of students and postgraduates, attracting teaching staff to conduct lectures and joint research projects.
Thus, the famous "Kerosinka" becomes a system partner of the Perm Region in the training of specialized personnel and research activities in the oil and gas production and processing industry – one of the key ones for the region.
"The development of scientific cooperation between Perm and Moscow institutions allows creating network interuniversity programs. Thus, Perm students have the opportunity to improve their qualifications and complete an internship, for example, in Moscow or St. Petersburg, and then return to their native land and develop their career. The regional authorities also pay considerable attention to the issues of employment of young specialists, including by establishing cooperation with enterprises. Thanks to close cooperation, we create conditions for the training of highly qualified personnel and their further employment, the implementation of joint research projects, " Dmitry Makhonin said.
During his visit to Perm, Viktor Martynov got acquainted with the laboratory and educational resources of the REC in the direction of "Hydrocarbons". At the ceremony, he expressed gratitude to the governor Dmitry Mahonin for the invitation to enter the REC.
"We have signed important agreements that will allow us to work together. The oil industry is facing more and more challenges: both the energy transition and the growing complexity of field development – there is something to work on. I think the effectiveness of cooperation will be high, " Viktor Martynov stressed.
Following the agreement, a roadmap for its implementation will be prepared, but the main areas of cooperation are already clear.
"We are very pleased that Gubkin Russian State University - the undisputed leader in science and education in the oil and gas industry – is becoming a partner of the REC and sees a wide range of areas for cooperation. These include interaction with the Educational and Methodological Council of the Russian State University in the preparation and improvement of textbooks and courses on oil and gas topics, the development of network educational programs. In addition, Gubkin University has unique competencies in gas production and processing, which can complement the developments on oil topics that are now formed by the REC participants. Another area is cooperation within the framework of the Russian National Committee of the World Petroleum Council, which includes both the Russian State University and the REC, and this gives us the opportunity to jointly participate in shaping the image of the Russian oil and gas industry, including in the international arena," said Pavel Ilyushin, Director of the ANO REC.
