A new coworking space “Tochka Kipenia UrFU” (“UrFU Boiling Point”) opens in Ekaterinburg in our campus at 66, Lenina Ave. On the day of its 99th anniversary, the Ural Federal University joins forty more of such centers opened today around Russia.
“University is already an active participant in many state programs, authoring educational initiatives,” says Daniil Sandler, First Vice-Rector of the Ural Federal University for Economics and Strategic Development. “Adding to that, we admit that it is impossible for us to take part in large projects on the general management level only, because when the expert meets the expert – there’s a lot could be decided right off. And the role of ‘Tochka Kipenia UrFU’ is that representatives from business, the Academy of Sciences (RAS) and from other fields can meet here with academia and, what’s most important, our students.”
The main goals of ‘Boiling Points’ in universities are: conducting educational programs, launching a network accelerator, integrating with the university curricula, exchanging educational practices of universities with each other, as well as introducing modern digital technologies into educational activities in cooperation with participants of the National Technology Initiative (NTI) ecosystem, which include development institutions, state corporations and companies.
The ‘Boiling Points’ will bring together representatives of education, science and business, scientists, students, technology entrepreneurs, civil servants, members of public organizations and professional communities on their sites.
