Students of the second round of the Muravyov-Amursky
2030 public official training programme will take part in business and sports
events of the 8th Eastern Economic Forum to be held in Vladivostok on 10–13
September. EEF 2023 is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
“The issues of staffing and attracting highly
qualified specialists are among the most significant challenges in the context
of further development of the Far East. As part of the Muravyov-Amursky 2030
training programme, participants are engaged in developing various projects
designed to make a significant contribution to the modernization of the
economy, production, social sphere, and other areas. And most importantly, we
are already seeing practical results: graduates of the first round of the
programme are applying their knowledge and skills and are involved in various
government agencies in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District,” said
Alexei Chekunkov, Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and
Arctic.
A key event for students at EEF 2023 will be the
business programme session entitled ‘Muravyov-Amursky 2030: New Professionals
for Ambitious Objectives’. Its
participants will discuss new approaches to the implementation of projects
related to public administration in the Far East, innovations in employment and
mentoring, and the use of a project approach in this area. The session will
include a discussion with the head of the Ministry for the Development of the
Far East and Arctic, governors of the Far Eastern regions, and first round
graduates who are building a career in civil service.
The students’ programme at the Forum also includes
meetings with their mentors – governors of Far Eastern regions and the Rector
of the Far Eastern Federal University – to discuss project activities and
employment prospects.
An important element of work at the Forum will be
meetings with experts to analyse the socio-economic situation in the district.
They will be attended by the heads of the Ministry of Education and Science and
a number of federal authorities, the Accounts Chamber and businesses
implementing projects in the Far Eastern Federal District.
The educational part of the module will consist of
lectures on the international agenda in the Eastern perspective (by Alexey
Maslov, Director of the Institute of Asian and African Countries at Lomonosov
Moscow State University), and on the history of the development of the Far East
and Siberia (by Viktor Shalay, Director of the Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of
Far East History).
The students’ programme also includes a simulation
game led by Mikhail Kuznetsov, Head of the Eastern State Planning Center, where
they will have to practice their skills in managing the region.
In addition to that, there will be daily training
sessions under the mentorship of the head of the ‘Kyokushinkai for Schools’
project, three-time world champion in Kyokushinkai karate Khaid Mantaev and
participation in the race in support of the programme for the conservation of
the gyrfalcon ‘We Preserve’.
Four agreements on the implementation of the
Muravyov-Amursky 2030 programme are to be signed at the EEF with the Institute
of Asian and African Countries at Lomonosov Moscow State University, Vitus
Bering Kamchatka State University, Pacific State University, and InfraVEB (VEB
Infrastructure).
In 2022, the programme’s students held meetings at the
EEF with Rostislav Goldstein, Head of the Jewish Autonomous Region, Vladimir
Solodov, Head of Kamchatka Territory, and Vera Shcherbina, First Vice-Governor
and Chairman of the Government of Primorye Territory. Also on the sidelines of
the Forum, a session with Alexei Chekunkov, Alexei Tsydenov, Head of the
Republic of Buryatia, and Alexander Osipov, Head of Zabaikalye Territory was
held, during which the first results of the programme implementation were
summarized.
The Muravyov-Amursky 2030 programme is a one-year
educational programme followed by a two-year civil service employment programme
for graduates in the Far Eastern regions. Students from the first round of the
programme have already moved to the Far East from other regions of the country
and are involved in regional, municipal and federal authorities, where they are
engaged in economic development, infrastructure, construction and production,
as well as social and educational development. This year, 52 students are
taking part in the programme, having been selected from 3,305 candidates in 81
regions of the Russian Federation. The programme is implemented by the Ministry
of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and Arctic
together with the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation.
The Eastern Economic Forum will be held on 10–13
September 2023 in Vladivostok on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal
University.

FEFU: centre for the transfer of science and technology from Asia-Pacific countries
The Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) may become a centre for technology transfer from Asia-Pacific countries to Russia. The university is already conducting research and searching for technological solutions through a university partnership mechanism. In order to successfully work with Asian countries, scientists need to interact with representatives of the industrial sector, transform research into competitive innovative products, and hear the demands of business. These were the conclusions reached by the participants of the session ‘FEFU: Centre for the Transfer of Science and Technology from Asia-Pacific Countries’, which was held as part of the Eastern Economic Forum.
