Aerospace Valley opens a laboratory at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics

“By the end of the first quarter of next year, we plan to develop a detailed roadmap for joint work, which will include educational, personnel, and technological areas. We expect that the laboratory will host not only internship and practical training programs for students, but also applied research and experimental design projects, including with the participation of residents of the Aerospace Valley. This will make it possible to involve students in real projects and create a sustainable human resources and technological foundation for the industry,” he noted.

According to him, ISTC resident companies that generate demand for specialist training and student participation in real technological projects will be actively involved in the laboratory’s work.

Joint work is also planned within the framework of the “Protos” unmanned aerial systems research and production center, established at the regional Protasovo airfield and supported by the Aerospace Valley.

Deputy Director for Industrial Training of the Moscow Instrument Engineering College of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics Mikhail Prishchep added: “The opening of the laboratory at our college is a direct pathway for students to practical training and internships in organizations of the Aerospace Innovation Valley Science and Technology Center. We are building a bridge from theory to the most advanced projects in the industry.”
