Rewritten Article:
Tomsk, May 14 - RIA Tomsk. The Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) has successfully defended its annual results for the cutting-edge engineering school, "Intelligent Energy Systems," in a meeting chaired by the head of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, Valery Falkov, according to a press release from the university on Wednesday.
Initially, it was reported that the TPU's "Intelligent Energy Systems" engineering school was established in 2022 and focuses on developing digital solutions for the energy industry while producing engineers skilled in IT and energy fields. The school has attracted over 920 million rubles for research and development, according to initial reports for 2025, and is developing 11 scientific projects.
"Just a couple of minutes ago, our team (TPU) defended ourselves in Moscow at the Council for the Examination of Questions and Coordination of Activities of Advanced Engineering Schools, chaired by the head of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia," the statement reads.
Additionally, the press release states that Leonid Sukhiy, acting rector of TPU, Alexander Osadchenko, acting director of the engineering school, Dmitry Yevlanov, general director of AO "Proryv," Ilya Kavelashvili, director of the business direction "Additive Technologies" of Rosatom State Corporation, and Konstantin Chumakov, head of the laboratory of Artificial Intelligence in Industry at the engineering school, also participated in the defense.
"The Advanced Engineering School at TPU was initially designed with a focus on long-term objectives and technological requirements of the 'Proryv' Project," Dmitry Yevlanov, the general director of AO "Proryv," is quoted as saying. "In order to support the workforce needs of the 'Proryv' project, the school has been organized for the training of young professionals and the further education of existing staff."
As previously reported, the 'Proryv' project aims to create a technology for a closed fuel cycle, which is being realized at the Siibirsky Khimichesky Kombinat (ZATO Seversk) since 2012. The projects will include a production and reprocessing module for uranium-plutonium nuclear fuel, an “BREST-300” energy block, and a module for reprocessing irradiated fuel. As of now, this is the first nuclear energy system of the fourth generation worldwide.
Insights:
- The Tomsk Polytechnic University has a strong focus on international collaboration and educational initiatives, as shown by its participation in the Russian Nuclear Education Ambassadors program[1].
- The "Proryv" project typically aligns with innovative and technologically advanced initiatives, which might be integrated into educational programs such as the engineering school at TPU.
