On March 15, the team of Novosibirsk State Technical University (NETI) presented to the expert council "Priority 2030", headed by Valery Falkov, the Minister of Science and Higher Education, the development program of NSTU-NETI for the planning period 2025-2030 and for the future until 2036.
The team included Andrey Travnikov, Governor of the Novosibirsk Region, Anatoly Bataev, Rector of NSTU-NETI, Ilya Ivantsov, President of Element PJSC, Vasily Yanpolsky, First Vice-rector of NSTU-NETI, and Sergey Kharitonov, head of the leading strategic technology project "Power Electronics and Intelligent Energy" at NSTU-NETI.
"Due to the fact that the Priority 2030 program provides for specific targets, methods, clear financing, and healthy competition between universities across the country, this provides serious opportunities and incentives," said Andrei Travnikov, head of the region.
"Technological leadership is impossible without the transition from development to mass production, and thanks to our participation in the Priority 2030 program, we were able to achieve it. The program gave an additional impetus to the transformation of scientific and production policy during the transition from development and design to serial product and production in all strategic projects of the university," said Anatoly Bataev, Rector of NSTU-NETI.
The rector named the strategic technology project "Power Electronics and Intelligent Energy" among the leaders of this process. With the help of the Power Electronics and Power Engineering consortium established in 2022, which includes 27 enterprises and scientific organizations, by 2024 NSTU-NETI managed to move from development to serial product and production in a number of areas.
In particular, the digital braking system for the IL-114-300 passenger aircraft, developed by order of the Rubin Aviation Corporation, has successfully passed flight tests. A voltage regulation unit for aircraft has been transferred to the Microelectronic Technologies Plant, which includes a hybrid power microassembly developed by NSTU-NETI.
As part of the stratproject, scientists at NSTU-NETI also developed a charging station for AC electric vehicles (a domestic controller, a hardware and software part using Russian components were designed). The design of the charging station is implemented according to the modular principle, which allows it to be configured for the required number of charging stations of the required capacity. The widespread charging standards CHAdeMO (Japan), GB/T (China), Type 2 (Europe) are supported. One of the most significant solutions is a self-developed control system based on universal controller modules and software, which provide flexible configuration of stations to meet customer requirements. The charging station is designed for Siberian conditions: thanks to its double body, well-thought-out design of air ducts and automatic climate control system, it can support charging electric vehicles with high power for a long time at low and high temperatures, and is not afraid of polluted urban air.
Another project team has created the first prototype of the energy-efficient optional manned aircraft Sarma-2. With the involvement of specialists from the FAA SibNIA named after S. A. Chaplygin is carrying out the procedure for its inclusion in the register of experimental aircraft, and pre-flight tests are being conducted.
The parameters of the technology developed by NSTU-NETI for the production of magnetically soft ferrite materials, achieved in 2024 as part of the stratproject "New Materials for Breakthrough Technologies", exceed the level of the world's leading analogues. Ferrites are ready for use in the manufacture of electronic equipment, switching power supplies and transformers for household use.
Significant results have been achieved as part of the development of synchrotron research at NSTU-NETI in close cooperation with the Siberian Ring Photon Source Center for Collective Use and the Institute of Nuclear Physics named after G. I. Budker SB RAS, TPU, ISE SB RAS, KTI NP SB RAS and a number of other scientific organizations and universities.
As part of the "Priority 2030" program, NSTU-NETI designed and manufactured unique scientific instruments for three stations of the first stage of the SKIF CCU. The integrators of the stations and the customers of the work are Tomsk Polytechnic University (station 1-1 "Microfocus") and the Institute of High-current Electronics (station 1-2 "Structural Diagnostics", station 1-4 "XAFS spectroscopy and magnetic dichroism").For the second stage of the SKIF CCU, a Wigler station project has been developed, the key element of which is being designed jointly with the Baltic Federal University named after I. Edge-mounted multiprismatic lenses that focus hard X-rays.
The resources of the Priority 2030 program give the university the opportunity to show scientific ambitions: to attract new teams and explore new directions. Thus, the project "New engineering solutions for Biomedicine" has gone from research to the finished product.
In collaboration with NIITO named after Ya. l. Tsivyan A prototype of the Cels-A domestic surgical table has been created, which is currently undergoing certification.
Multifunctional transport biodegradable polymer materials have been developed and have already been presented to the domestic market, which are built into a product line for use in industrial and home conditions, as well as for the needs of medicine, animal husbandry and crop production. Contract production of biogel developed by NSTU-NETI with a capacity of up to 10 tons per month has been launched in St. Petersburg.
In cooperation with NPC Beres LLC tests for the quality of beverages are presented on marketplaces. The project team has developed a domestic plant-based dust suppressor that is ten times cheaper than its foreign counterparts. Novosibirsk City Hall is interested in using the dust suppressor developed at NSTU-NETI, which is ready to accept the first batch of the product for testing on urban roads in the spring of 2025.
"Today we are focusing on the development of student design bureaus and youth laboratories: they currently employ at least 400 students. Participation in Priority 2030 allowed us to create the necessary research infrastructure for this. During the competitive selection in 2024, seven youth scientific laboratories were formed in the thematic areas of strategic projects. The resources of the Priority 2030 program allow us to attract talented young people and create all the necessary conditions for the training of highly qualified development engineers, technologists and researchers, who will ensure the technological leadership of our country," concluded Anatoly Bataev.
It is important to note that the new architecture of the Priority 2030 program focuses on evaluating the university's target model and its compliance with the objectives of technological leadership. The changes were made in accordance with the updated strategic documents of the Russian Federation on national goals, scientific and technological development, and priority high-tech technologies.
