On June 5th, an in-person meeting of the Priority 2030 Program Committee, chaired by the SUSU Rector Alexander Wagner, was held at South Ural State University.
Six fundamental projects of the Priority 2030 program, planned for implementation at the university in 2025, were considered at the meeting.
Opening the meeting, Alexander Wagner addressed all managers of the projects being implemented within the frameworks of the Priority 2030 program:
"Colleagues, when presenting your project, you need to justify the costs. I will warn everyone about the costs right away: we do not have the right to buy equipment for research, the analogues of which exist in the Russian Federation! This is not our initiative, this is a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, and this condition must be paid special attention to, given that this is a special order of the President."
During the meeting, the experts of the Program Committee heard the following projects:
-
“Russian Hardware and Software Complex for Process Control and Non-destructive Testing of Equipment Based on Edge Computing, AI and Industrial Internet of Things” by Dmitry Shnaider;
-
“Development of a Laboratory for Machine Vision and Robotic Systems in Industry” by Vladimir Surin;
-
“Development of New Quantum Technologies for Estimating Unknown Parameters” by Dmitry Kuts;
-
“Development of Highly Efficient Methods for Applying Thermal Barrier Coatings” by Evgeny Trofimov;
-
“Modernization of a Rolling Mill for the Production of Ultra-thin Bimetallic Strips” by Aleksandr Vydrin;
-
“Work Plan for the Ecoanalytics Collective Use Centre for 2025” by Aigul Kirik.
Since 2025, the following chief designers of Strategic Technology Projects have been actively involved in the implementation of the Priority program projects:
-
Technical Director of PAO ChKPZ Aleksandr Gorkusha − chief designer of the Strategic Project 1 "Intellectual Production";
-
Head of the Engineering Centre, Technical Director of AO PG "Konar" Evgeny Bodrov − chief designer of the Strategic Project 2 "Fundamentals of Synthesis and Use of Advanced Materials";
-
General Director of All-Russia D.I. Mendeleyev Scientific and Research Institute for Metrology Anton Pronin − chief designer of the Strategic Project 3 "Ecoenvironment of Industrial Agglomeration".
On June 5th, the chief designer of the Strategic Project 2 “Fundamentals of Synthesis and Use of Advanced Materials” Evgeny Bodrov attended the meeting of the Priority 2030 Program Committee for the first time:
"This is my first time at an event of this type," Evgeny Bodrov shared his impressions. "My comment applies to all of today's projects. All of the topics are very interesting, but there is a slight bias towards fundamental science. You all need to talk more about interactions with your strategic partners. I would like to hear the main thing: information about the connection of each project with real production, or clearly spelled out economic aspects of the projects. These are the things that I found missing in many reports. But overall, I really liked it, I am impressed."
Following the meeting, the projects of Dmitry Schneider, Vladimir Surin, Dmitry Kuts, and Evgeny Trofimov were launched. The projects of Aigul Kirik and Aleksandr Vydrin were sent for revision and review, and will be heard again.
