Training for the economy of the future is the most important priority of the Ural Federal University. To solve this problem, it is necessary to implement a digital transformation program. This was stated by the first vice-rector of the university.

“Technology is developing very fast. If you do not mean professional digital ecosystems, you will never have to train personnel to work with the technologies of the future. This requires digital transformation and training. These are interpenetrating things. The main educational programs are drawn up in close conjunction with potential employers. Of course, everyone entering the university should have the right to an individual trajectory of training and development. These three components lead to a radical transformation of the educational space and the Ural Federal University as a whole,” said Sergey Kortov.

We have the opportunity to directly influence the development and scientific and educational competencies of the university. It is, first of all, about such technological areas as production robotization, the use of additive technologies and “digital doubles”. The latest technological solutions are being actively developed in innovation-innovative and engineering centers of Ural Federal University and small innovative enterprises with the participation of the university. Such centers help implement these solutions at the partner enterprises of the university.

“On the basis of UrFU, on the basis of innovative infrastructure, all these technological solutions have been introduced. We have engineering centers that themselves are the developers of these solutions and are very actively interacting with the industry to implement them, ”concluded Sergey Kortov.
