The agreement on the creation of such a network interaction was signed by the rectors of Russia's leading specialized universities - the Ufa State Petroleum Technical University, Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russian Chemical Technology University, Far Eastern Federal University and Siberian State University of Science and Technology and a representative of the largest petrochemical company in Russia Sibur at the Big Challenges summit at Sirius University on April 30, 2021.
According to this program, SIBUR-holding will select the best students who have completed the second year and form an individual training track for them for a specific enterprise. Students choose their future company.
Each of the five universities presents its best practices. Thus, Ufa Petroleum University will provide its unique educational and research laboratories and leading scientific and pedagogical staff.
"The global megatrend of the development of the Russian petrochemical industry in the long term is the increasing role of basic petrochemicals, the transition to the production of products of deeper processing, the optimal use of resources in technological solutions of the closed-cycle economy, the creation of innovative products, for example, new polymers and composites based on them, as well as the increased use of digital technologies at all stages of the product life cycle.
All this requires the training of universal specialists of petrochemicals-IT specialists. Ufa Petroleum University has extensive experience in cooperation with many leading universities, and, taking into account the fact that there will be support for our work from the industrial partner SIBUR Holding, personnel training will undoubtedly improve the quality of education and ensure the formation of new professional, supra-professional and digital competencies," said Oleg Baulin, Rector of USNTU.
