Haula Kitonsa, doctoral student of the Graduate School of Economics and Management (UrFU) will present a report on the scientific contribution made by Ural Federal University to the projects aimed at the development of Russia’s Arctic zone. He is taking part in the First Arctic Forum of the ASRTU, which is held on September 13-18 in Yakutsk.

“The report presents high-tech projects and research networks initiated by UrFU and key partners in the joint project,” explains Haula Kitonsa. “It also suggests possible technologies that can have a big impact in the Arctic region, such as the Drone technologies: the role of unmanned aerial vehicles in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals. I will also talk about such instrument as the magnetometer Overhauser MMPOS-1, developed in the quantum laboratory of UrFU”.

The speakers of the Forum will present the results of theoretical and applied research in the field of diagnostics, design and construction of safe and comfortable buildings, transport infrastructures in low-temperature conditions, development of innovative materials, new construction and technological solutions. The main topics of the forum are architecture and urban planning in cold regions, reliability of buildings and structures on permafrost, energy saving and energy efficiency, transport engineering and others.

The Association of Sino-Russian Technical Universities (ASRTU) was established in 2011 in the city of Shenzhen, China and is based at Bauman Moscow State Technical University and Harbin Institute of Technology. ASRTU includes 30 universities (15 on each side). UrFU is also member of the association. In 2017-2019, UrFU and the South China University of Technology became presiding organizations for the 6^th period of ASRTU’s work.

The goal of the organization is to unite the efforts of the leading technical universities of Russia and China in training highly qualified personnel for an innovative economy, promote academic exchange of students and teachers, and develop scientific and technical cooperation between Russia and China.
