The participants of the U-NOVUS forum presented 12 projects including
the Emergency Button, Digital Hospital, the younger generation loyalty
programs, and others. These developments will be included in the Tomsk
roadmap. Tomsk State University was the program operator of the event.
This year, the format of the event has changed: instead of traditional
discussions, the basis of the forum became a series of workshops from
large companies - SIBUR, Rusatom Infrastructure Solutions, and others.
The tasks were focused on solving applied problems: digitalization of
production, smart materials, knowledge management, digital hospital,
smart city, and digitalization of supply chain management.
The result of the workshops was the defense of the projects on which
the participants: students and university staff, business and
administration representatives worked. TSU employees worked in seven
workshops - in creating projects for analyzing the operation of SIBUR
equipment, creating a single information field for Tomsk citizens, and
also the first in Russia digital medical technology testing ground. In
addition, representatives of the University designed precision farming
systems, worked on the renovation of residential buildings, the
mechanism of interaction between scientists, and planned to open a
Center of Competence Management based on data at TSU.
All the projects presented at the closing ceremony will be included in
the Tomsk roadmap. It is planned that they will be implemented until
2020, mainly in 2019.
TSU already has experience in the areas presented at the workshops. For
example, the university and Tomsk companies initiated the creation of a
Smart City cluster within the framework of the Tomsk Smart Technologies
Alliance. Together with the EleSy Company the
university creates the first domestic software tool complex for the
creation of automated control systems for high-tech industries.
Employees implement a number of projects on Big Data, for example, this
is the search for talented applicants.
