The joint work of T1 and the Moscow Aviation Institute goes beyond the classical interaction between business and universities. The partnership covers the full development cycle – from experiments in laboratories to the creation of prototypes and technologies ready for implementation in the industry. This concept formed the basis of an agreement to expand cooperation, which was signed by the T1 IT holding and MAI at the Impulse T1 conference, cementing a new approach to interaction between technology business and universities.
In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the holding and the university consolidate the development of practice-oriented formats, expand support for internships and joint projects, and also strengthen scientific and technological cooperation.
In addition, the agreement provides for classic options for cooperation: T1 will expand the material and technical base of MAI – the university already uses 1,250 licenses of T1 products: the Sphere software production platform, the DION corporate communications platform and the Taumerix CAE platform for electronics engineering analysis. They are built into the educational process. Four educational programs are jointly implemented, including two TOP-IT undergraduate programs.
For example, one of the striking joint projects of T1 and MAI was a hardware and software complex for creating modern light shows, presented at the Impulse T1 conference in Moscow. It is based on developments in the field of AI and flight control of autonomous light platforms.
“T1’s cooperation with the Moscow Aviation Institute opens up new horizons for the development of students and the domestic IT market as a whole. We are building a model in which universities become full-fledged scientific and technological partners, and not just educational platforms. Students receive real production experience, business receives new technologies, and the market receives ready-made solutions. This changes the very understanding of interaction between companies and universities. We thank MAI for the opportunity to work together, develop practice-oriented educational programs and support young professionals on the path to their career heights,” — shared Dmitry Kharitonov, CEO of the T1 IT holding.
“Today, digital competencies are deeply integrated into all engineering professions. In this regard, the task of MAI is to train complex specialists who have not only deep engineering knowledge, but also practical skills in using modern digital technologies in solving complex interdisciplinary problems,” noted Rector of MAI Mikhail Pogosyan.
