Representatives of at least 10 higher educational institutions from Azerbaijan, Belarus, India, China, Poland, South Africa, and several other countries will take part in short-term educational programs at Mining University. They will improve their skills in such areas of training as “Chemical technology and energy processing,” “Economic evaluation and justification of projects in the oil and gas sector,” “Social and political conflicts of modern society,” and several others.
The most popular request from the university’s partners turned out to be the “Modern Mining Technologies” program. Two universities from the People’s Republic of China and one from Kazakhstan applied to participate. A course has been prepared for their students, including lectures on the classification of deposits’ reserves, evaluation of pit wall stability, digital transformation of the mining industry, changes in the stress-strain state of a massif during underground mining, and other topical problems of this field of knowledge.
“It is a great honor for us to cooperate with the oldest technical university in Russia. Our students are very actively registered for participation in its school,” noted the representatives of Taiyuan University of Science and Technology (China).
This fall, due to the difficult sanitary and epidemiological situation, short-term educational programs will be held online. The host country has done a lot of work to adapt the material, which previously focused on practical training using simulators and simulators, as well as involving visits to production sites, to a remote format. As the organizers noted, “this was done without loss of quality.”
The start of the autumn schools is scheduled for October 11. The second wave, in which the students of the East Kazakhstan Technical University named after Serikbayev, Satpayev Kazakh Technical University, and Karaganda Technical University will participate, will start in mid-November.
Let’s remind that 213 people from 32 Russian and foreign higher educational establishments took part in summer schools of Mountainous Mountainous that took place in July. Especially for them, the Petersburg institute prepared and internationally accredited training programs in such subjects as “Digital Mining Engineering”, “Practical Petroleum Engineering”, “Smart Energy Efficient Building”, and some others. The training took place in a face-to-face format.
