The discussion focuses on rethinking the university's role in integrated territorial development programs. We propose to go beyond the traditional perception of the university solely as a source of personnel and consider its potential as a universal platform. Is the university capable of becoming a key hub for accumulating interdisciplinary knowledge in the fields of engineering, digital technology, economics, sociology, and urban studies? How can this concentration of expertise be aimed at achieving strategic national goals: strengthening the connectivity of the country's territory, ensuring demographic security and sustainable economic growth?
The meeting will be attended by: Acting Rector of UrFU I.N.Obabkov, representatives of large and medium-sized businesses, as well as authorities of Yekaterinburg.
