Meeting of the Russian Rectors' Union Council

Wednesday, 19.02.20

On the 18th of February a member of the Russian Rectors' Union Council, the rector of Chuvash State University A. Yu. Aleksandrov in the Intellectual center at the Fundamental library of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University  took part in the meeting of the Russian Rectors' Union Council.

Minister of science and higher education of the Russian Federation V. N. Falkov made the main report at the meeting. In the report, he spoke about the directions in the development of higher education system. According to the Minister, the leading role in training personnel for the economy and social sphere should be assigned to the regions. This will require closer integration between regions and universities.  "One of the key tasks to export education is to significantly upgrade the infrastructure and development of University campuses," said V. N. Falkov.  According to the head of the Russian Ministry of Education, the national projects "Science" and" Education " foresee participation of at least 80 universities from at least 40 regions of the country in the program of creating reference universities. 

The program to increase the global competitiveness of Russian universities among the world's leading research and educational centers will also be continued. "The entire system of higher education should be focused on interaction with the real sector of the economy," the Minister said.

V. N. Falkov paid special attention to the issue of access to free education. He informed that work on creating a new method for allocating budget places to universities is currently close to be completed. "Already this year, the number of budget places in universities will increase for those entering the next academic year. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the number of budget places will not be reduced, while a significant part of additional budget places will be directed to the regions, taking into account the needs of the regional labor market, " V. N. Falkov said.

The Chairman of the Russian Rectors' Union Council, the rector of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University  Academician V. A. Sadovnichy suggested Russian universities to hold a common day of memory and glory in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Victory. He noted that for this day, each University will prepare its own campaign, and a single broadcast will be organized throughout the country in the format of a video conference.

The Chuvash State University Hosted the Spring Stage of Cities Tournament

Monday, 17.02.20

Yesterday, the center for work with gifted youth held the basic stage of the spring round of the 41st international mathematical Olympiad "CitiesTournament". In the House of scientific collaboration named after S. A. Abrukov more than a hundred students of 7-11 grades took part in solving complex mathematical problems.

The tournament was held in 4 rounds (two rounds – basic and complex - in autumn and spring each year). In each version of each round, the three best results for the tasks are taken into account. The participants who showed a sufficiently high result in one of the variants in any round will receive a diploma of the winner of the "Cities Tournament", and the winners who study in grades 10 and 11 are invited to participate in the final stage of the oral round – the  Olympiad of the first level.

It should be noted that the complex variant of the Olympics is comparable to the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad and the ­International Mathematical Olympiad, the base stage can be compared with a regional stage. Participation in one tour or variant does not depend on participation in another. Each option is held separately for juniors (grades 7-9) and seniors (grades 10-11). Any student (of any class) can participate in the Tournament for his class or older. The tournament is held by local organizing committees in more than one hundred cities in 25 countries in Europe, Asia, South and North America, Australia and New Zealand.

The complex stage of the tournament will be held on March 1, 2020 at the MAEI "Lyceum # 3" in Cheboksary.

The works of the autumn tour are still being checked by the organizing committee of the Cities Tournament. When the works of our region are checked, their results will be displayed at the website of ChuvSU center for work with gifted youth.

A.Yu. ALEKSANDROV: "Creating the Environment of Opportunities for Students is a Priority of Our University»

Friday, 14.02.20

We continue our conversation with the rector of the University A. Yu. Aleksandrov, which was started in previous issues of the newspaper (Ulyanovets, № 2 dated January 24, 2020).

Today we asked the ChSU leader to tell us about the University's development plans in the nearest future.

- Andrey Yuryevich, in the last conversation we touched on the topic of ratings. They have become an important indicator of the global education market. Is it true that ratings don't always reflect an objective picture? But one can't but agree that this tool is shaping social reality today.

– The importance of ratings, including in the field of education, should not be overestimated. Any rating has its advantages and, at the same time, sometimes suffers from one-sidedness, so there are no ideal ratings that comprehensively indicate the positions of a particular University  in the educational space. Nevertheless, we clearly understand that for those children and their parents who choose a higher education institution for their future professional career, its rating is a fairly weighty argument.

Recently, we have been paying more attention to the University's entry into certain ratings. For example, according to the results of 2019, the University entered the TOP 111 Russian universities in the "National Aggregate Rating". The integrated annual rating developed by the "Guild of experts in professional education" takes into account the position of 721 Russian universities simultaneously in all the largest lists of higher education institutions in Russia. All these universities are divided into 10 leagues. Our University entered the second league, which also includes the North-Eastern Federal University, the Crimean Federal University,  St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, and the Russian Chemical Technological University named after D.I. Mendeleev.

In the rating " National Recognition: Best Universities-2019 " the Chuvash State University ranked the 27th among classical universities with state accreditation and the 77th in the overall ranking of 695 universities in the country.

– In his Message to the Federal Assembly, the President of the country V. V. Putin spoke about giving the students the opportunity to choose a new direction or training program after their second year, including secondary professions. Next year Russian universities are planning to launch an experiment by changing the specialty…

– It is no coincidence that the President of the country voiced this topic. This issue is caused by the growing dynamics of technological development, which in turn causes the need for "increased readiness " of a future graduate for rapid changes in the market of professions. Secondary professions are a kind of resource for adequate response to new challenges.

- They say robots will replace people in many areas. What professions should be chosen to avoid being included in the list of "dying" professions? What specialties will be in demand among employers in the future?

– I think that the topic of "dying" traditional professions is overly heated. Very often,  the profession of an accountant is named among professions that faded into oblivion. Although it is quite clear - it will remain. Another thing is that its functionality will change significantly. New software products will be developed, and the accountant will have to master a number of new competencies. It is quite possible that the number of people working in this field will decrease somewhat.

As for the robots... they are designed to replace, in the first place, physically hard monotonous work. The future belongs to high-tech. The share of robotic industries and enterprises engaged in the development of new equipment and materials will significantly increase. According to the "Atlas of New Professions" the nearest future new professions will be in demand, such as  a specialist in bioethics, an IT-physician, an energy auditor, a controller of electricity grids for energy distribution, living systems designer, system engineer of smart grids, designer of home robots, smart environments cybertechnology specialist ...

- Andrey Yuryevich, digitalization today is much spoken about. How will this process affect education?

– Various aspects of society are being transformed by the introduction of new technologies. When we talk about  digitalization of education, sometimes it all comes down to online learning opportunities. Meanwhile, in the next few years, there will be much deeper changes that will cause a serious reformatting of the educational process. For example, there are global educational platforms (Coursera, Lectorium, Universarium), whose services are becoming more and more popular. This is very similar to the situation in the real sector of the economy, when the traditional taxi is replaced by Yandex network services "Yandex.Taxi", Uber. How much will this change the existing flows of people who want to get a University education? It is extremely difficult to answer this question exactly. This is, of course, a challenge to the existing University education. Or here's another example: today, automatic foreign language translator is widely used in everyday life. After all, solving a difficult task of creating a digital high-quality translation is a matter of the next few years. It will be possible to  read, watch and listen to any of the most complex texts and movies. It means that language barriers will collapse and the horizons of students ' opportunities will expand enormously, including in terms of obtaining international education. Is this not a challenge to any national system of higher education, or is it a reason for universities to review existing approaches to organizing education? 

– If everything is so global, then it turns out that fundamental knowledge will also undergo transformation?

– The new era of digitalization leads to increasing uncertainty in  both technological and social development. Therefore, a University graduate should be prepared for a very rapid response to changes in technology, ready for labor market transformations. Today, mastering a profession should imply the ability of its recipient to adapt to it. And here the issues of continuing education are highlighted even more clearly, and universities should become centers of such education, which, by the way, is what the Chuvash State University is striving for. 

And I would also emphasize that a deep fundamental nature is a trait that is inherent to universities, since we are talking about universities. Fundamental knowledge is not "overgrown with moss", old. On the contrary, it is a solid foundation on which the building of education is constructed and the structure of which can be rebuilt for improvement. For different fields of knowledge, these are anatomy, theoretical foundations of electrical engineering, theoretical mechanics, and others. It is fundamental knowledge that is the key to that very adaptability.

– The University's development Program for 2017-2021 sets the task of inviting Federal experts to ChuvSU. Why is this necessary?

– Among those who visited the University last year, there are such well-known experts as E. V. Bryzgalina, the head of education philosophy department at M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University  ; A. I. Pervushin, a popular Russian science fiction writer, etc. Obviously, a University that looks to the future should not stew in its own juice. We highly appreciate the competences of our teachers, but science is moving forward by leaps and bounds, and, of course, the latest expert assessments and opinions of leaders in certain fields of knowledge are extremely in demand. Such meetings and master classes motivate attendees to think and evaluate their educational level. It is from these considerations that the plan for inviting well-known scientists and practitioners in a particular field is developed for the current year.

– The infrastructure of our University is getting a modern look: educational buildings and dormitories are being reconstructed, new facilities are being built, and new laboratories and spaces are being built...

– The University is firmly on the agenda of national projects. So, within the framework of the national project "Education", hostel № 2 is being reconstructed today; according to the Federal project "500 pools of Russia", a swimming pool is being built for students at Universitetskaya street, 38, we plan to put into operation this year. The House of scientific collaboration named after S. A. Abrukov is also a "product" of the national project "Education", and the" Boiling Point " appeared as a result of cooperation between our University and the Agency for strategic initiatives.

In addition, we invest significant own funds in the development of the University's infrastructure. So, in recent years, hundreds of millions of rubles have been invested in repairing buildings and equipping them with the most modern educational and scientific equipment. For example, the educational and laboratory building of the energy and electrical engineering faculty, accreditation and simulation centers of the medical and chemical-pharmaceutical faculties, and laboratories of the Junior physics-mathematical department.

Creating the environment of opportunities for students is a priority of our University» Thus, reconstruction of hostel № 6 and building "Z" are planned, as well as construction of a new dormitory in the campus by Universitetskaya Street, a multipurpose sport playground in the campus "Technokvartal", reconstruction of building "G". It should be noted that our partners actively contribute to the process of equipping: with the support of Sberbank the audience "Competence of the Future" was opened; all enterprises of the electrical engineering cluster of the Republic made multi-million investments in modernizing the educational and laboratory base of technical faculties.

– Our University has ambitious tasks. What would you wish the ChuvSU team?

– I am convinced that if we do not set the high bar of development, there will be no serious progress. Therefore, when designing the future, we must proceed from the fact that we need to adequately respond to the challenges associated with rapid technological progress in particular and changes in society as a whole. This dictates the need to look at the University from the future, to think from the future. At the same time, today, in the present, it is important to effectively address current issues of staff training and Research and Advanced Development.

Solving such problems will certainly require extra efforts, creativity, and, perhaps most importantly, high cohesion and teamwork.

"ChSU Representative Team" entered the TV Premier League of the International KVN Union

Thursday, 06.02.20

"ChSU Representative Team" received an invitation to the TV Premier League of the International Union of the Club of the Funny and Inventive. In March, it will perform in Moscow on the scene of the youth center "KVN Planet". To get there, students and graduates of the Chuvash University performed in the International festival "KiViN-2020" in Sochi.

The University team successfully completed the tasks of two rounds. The jury members rated their humor and acting skills with high scores, and the audience - by approving applause. As a result, young people from Cheboksary will go to Moscow in March for the 1/8 final of the Premier League, which will be shown by Channel One.

As the team captain Nikolai Filippov said, "ChSU Representative Team"  had already tried to get into the Premier League last year, but at that time they did not have enough experience. And this year, after receiving an increased rating at the Sochi festival, the team was invited to participate in the Central League of Moscow and the Moscow region. This performance was a real test of strength for the team. There were 4 contests per game, and they were to be prepared during a month. Moreover, the day before the performance, the editors could send comments, and then it was necessary to rewrite the entire material in the shortest possible time. Because of this, there were two hours of sleep a day, as on stage it was necessary to show the maximum and to look cheerful. Despite a high competition, the University team managed to reach the final and take the bronze.

After that, the "ChSU Representative Team" was not afraid to compete with 500 teams from all over Russia in Sochi. Every day the jury members, including the editors of Channel One KVN, considered 100 teams. The first round lasted five days. Each team had a time limit of no more than 4.30 minutes per performance.

The core team of "ChuvSU Representative Team" is made of 9 people, 3 of them are girls. "Our conferencier is Julia Vasilyeva. Before the miniature, she "throws" a joke that begins with the phrase " I believe...". We not only humor on stage, but dance between miniatures as well. Our greeting only after 5-6 years became a complete one, that is, now it is worked out to the last detail.  What is the meaning of KVN? Each team should have its own style. Here it is the same as in trade: if customers like your product, they consume it. In general, KVN is similar to mathematics, since many performances are built according to formulas, and if the formula converges, then success comes – says the team captain. – In life, I often joke, but to make fun of people, you need to know them well. My favorite contest is the greeting. The victory in KVN depends on the team's mood and the fortune. I don't consider myself a good KVN-man, for it becoming it it is necessary to live, gain experience, immediately no one can do it."

Most of the members of the team "ChuvSU Representative Team" are students of technical faculties: Nikolay Filippov and Dmitry Zagranichny are 1st year students  of magistracy at faculty of Informatics and computing, Ilya Kalyamin is a student of power and electrical engineering faculty, Julia Vasilyeva is a student of civil engineering faculty, Alexey Tabakov is a student of electric power faculty, Maria Egorova, Anna Peganova are ChuvSU graduates, Alexandra Golubev is an invited participant, Alexander Evteev is a 2nd year student ofICT faculty, Igor Smirnov is a 2nd year student of radioelectronics faculty.

As the captain Nikolay Philippov says , to be a good KVN-man, you have to be very patient: "Outside, KVN is a fun game, but inside, it's hard. Nerves must be steady, you need to feel it, understand it, explain ­it on your fingers, and this is very difficult. The higher you go, the harder it is."

"ChuvSU Representative Team" became the third from our Republic to perform in the humorous TV game. Previously, it was attended by "Dorm" and the team of Cheboksary "The Chuvash-ChSU". By the way, the 20th season of KVN in Chuvashia will start in 2020. The anniversary gala concert will be held on February 23, and on February 7, the jury the contest performances will be presented to the jury. According to Nikolai Filippov, "first you need to check the material", so his team will take part in the capital league, so that on March 21-23, when the team "ChSU Representative Team" will perform in the 1/8 TV Premier League of KVN, to present the best program.

The Chuvash State University Hosted a Festival of Professions of the Future

According to the data of the Chuvash State University, engineers and IT specialists are most in demand in the region. But this is now. What will happen in five years? The answer to this question was sought at the Festival of professions of the future.

A biopharmacologist, a designer of "smart materials", an architect of living systems, a digital linguist, a cyber investigator, a designer of neurointerfaces - according to the forecast of the creators of the "Atlas of new professions" at the Agency for strategic initiatives, 186 new professions will appear by 2030. 

-  Virtual reality, artificial intelligence, the Internet of things - all that is now available seemed to be impossible 10 years ago. It's the same with professions. Very soon, the economy will need specialists that no one has ever heard of before, said correspondent Valentina Alekseeva.

That is why the University decided to hold a Festival of professions of the future. And they invited not only students and experts in this issue, but high school students as well, those who are to choose new directions, as well as their potential employers.  

-  If we have a view from the future, understanding of what employers expect from us in 5-10 years, I think it will be much easier and more effective for us to rebuild the educational process in order to produce specialists, to design, I would say, a specialist of the future, - said the rector of I. N. Ulianov Chuvash State University, Andrey Aleksandrov.

The rector stressed: such meetings help to open profiles within the existing directions in time. After all, if earlier universities competed with each other for the popularity of professorial staff, now it is not only the quality of teaching that matters.

-  And now we see that knowledge is actually available to everyone. And this is one of the key challenges facing the education system - it is to learn how to create, learn how to grow an ecosystem, learn how to create an environment in which ,it will be interesting for  schoolchildren ot students, it is not important, in fact, to study, - the head of the project "Atlas of New Professions" Dmitry Sudakov said.

ChuvSU "Boiling Point" is just the platform for experiments, for free expressing thoughts. This time, the teachers changed places with the students. The rector of the University and the invited guests answered questions about the development of professions by taking exam tickets. And schoolchildren and students online via smartphones noted whether they agreed with the opinion of the expert speaker.

Open Dialogue

Tuesday, 28.01.20

In the framework of the project "Open Chuvashia", students and teachers of the historical, geographical and law faculties of our University met with the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Federal Assembly, A. I.  Arshinova in the house of scientific collaboration.. They discussed topical issues of socio-economic development and the tasks set by the President of the country in his Address to the Federal Assembly. Students actively asked the deputy questions about the President's Message, digitalization of education, indexing scholarships and received a detailed answer to each of them.

The meeting was moderated by the Deputy of the State Council of the Chuvash Republic, rector of the Chuvash State University A. Yu. Aleksandrov.

A. I. Arshinova, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation:

"Students will have the opportunity to choose a new direction or program of training after the second year of study. But for this initiative to be successful it is necessary to eliminate gender inequality: according to the current version of the law on military duty, male University students lose their army respite – it is given only once at each stage of training . We need to work with the Ministry of education and science to prepare a comprehensive solution to this problem".
