The leitmotif of the meeting: the implementation of projects within the framework of the program of academic leadership "Priority 2030". This is the largest program of state support and development of universities in the history of the country. This is the first federal project to support higher education institutions, organized by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, in which agricultural universities took part.
The victory in the "Priority 2030" made it possible to conduct scientific research and create science-intensive products and technologies, ensure the socio-economic development of territories, strengthen the personnel and scientific and technological potential of organizations in the real sector of the economy and the social sphere.
This is a new stage in the development of agricultural education, which is made possible thanks to the close work of two ministries: Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
D. N. Patrushev, Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.
“I am convinced that within the framework of today's dialogue we can discuss the modernization of agricultural education and, of course, the development of human resources and innovation potential of the entire agro-industrial complex. I will dwell on the areas that the Ministry of Agriculture is implementing to train specialists in the field of the agro-industrial complex: of course, providing the industry with qualified specialists and researchers. This is a priority task, and of course a task that we are solving through our subordinate agricultural universities. They annually graduate about 60 thousand people, while it is important that the proportion of graduates employed in the agro-industrial complex is constantly increasing. Over the past year, it has grown by another 8% and reached 78%. We are in constant contact with the industry scientific community. The focus is on the comprehensive adaptation of the educational process to the current issues that control our industry. This requires a revision of existing education programs and the introduction of new specialties.”
The minister noted that the growth of graduates who remain working in the field of agriculture is also due to new approaches to the educational process. Last year, 24 new areas of training, 225 specializations were opened in the universities subordinate to the Ministry of Agriculture. Much work is being done at agricultural universities to develop industrial practice. This is one of the main components of a quality education and increases the possibility of employment.
V.N. Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
“We need to get the support of the team. Because no development program can be implemented if at the university, these changes are not supported by departments and teachers. Today, motivated people are present here, and we need to try to build problematization through the efforts of the two Ministries, to determine the main key problems, to build possible transformations, their sequence, and to exchange experience. We have a desire to regularly hold such events. We expect serious practical results from you. We are ready to help, but for this we need to work for results together with the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Agriculture, with business, with the regions.”
Today, agrarian regions such as Stavropol and Kuban are in dire need of personnel renewal at agricultural enterprises. This applies not only to applied specialties, but also to researchers.
V. I. Kondratiev, Governor of the Krasnodar Territory.
“Each region has its own specifics, and agricultural universities should be integrated, including in the problems of agriculture. Necessarily from the point of view of the scientific approach. Today, the integration of agrarian universities, science, and directly the rural sector of the economy is visible and tangible. Thanks to the Ministries for the common work in this direction.”
As part of the strategic session, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia and the0 Foundation «R&D» (Innopraktika).
The main objective of the integration of efforts is to increase the relevance of agricultural education. The industry needs personnel, which means that additional involvement of young people in the specialties of the agro-industrial complex is required.
Acting Rector of the Stavropol State Agrarian University Alexander Vladimirovich Trukhachev presented the results of the work of the project group "University Management" to the Minister of Agriculture D.N. Patrushev and the Minister of Science and Higher Education V.N. Falkov. Alexander Vladimirovich outlined the barriers that exist in the management of universities, and suggested ways to solve them. A.V. Trukhachev presented to the heads of departments the directions of transformation of the management system in agricultural universities, aimed at improving the management policy of a modern university.
A.V. Trukhachev, Acting Rector of the Stavropol State Agrarian University.
“Today, the management system of agricultural universities is facing a set of barriers and challenges, without which it is impossible to achieve global competitiveness. During the work of our group, more than 30 challenges were formulated and considered. Industry universities are at the crossroads of making a decision on the transition to multi-profile, to overcome the challenges of increasing competitiveness in the global and domestic markets. On the one hand, our universities are called upon to train competitive personnel for the agricultural sector, but in the context of digital transformation and the implementation of the AIC 4.0 model, the development of new competencies is required.”
The work continued with experts who presented cases and lectures to the delegations. Theme “Modern technologies of molecular genetic diagnostics. How human medicine can be used for animals” was revealed by Vadim Markovich Govorun, General Director of the Federal Scientific and Clinical Center for Physical and Chemical Medicine of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia.
