Today, in the Scientific and Technological Park of the BNTU "Polytechnic", a cooperative round table is starting to work on the issue of interaction in the field of education and science of higher education institutions with organizations of the Ministry of Industry.

Present at the round-table are the leadership of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Industry, vice-rectors for scientific work of universities, representatives of the country's leading industrial enterprises.

The participants of the event will discuss issues of increasing the efficiency of scientific and technical cooperation, as well as cooperation in the field of personnel training between organizations of the Ministry of Education and enterprises of the Ministry of Industry.

There are three main obvious subject areas of interaction between organizations that meet common interests:

- Scientific and technical support of industry;

- Training;

- Technical creativity of children.

As First Deputy Minister of Education A.G. Bakhanovich noted, in each of these areas there are both successful examples of interaction and unresolved issues. “For example, university complexes subordinate to the Ministry of Education annually create more than 250 units of new equipment, technologies and materials. This means that universities have competencies, can act as participants in the processes of innovative development of industry and, in some cases, do this job. At the same time, this is incomparably less than even the total number of industrial organizations operating in the country. It turns out less than one development per year per industrial enterprise.

We guide our universities to take into account the specific needs of organizations in the real sector of the economy in their scientific and technical activities,” the representative of the department emphasized.
Engineering education is an important aspect of the country's economic development and national security.
Training of engineering personnel is a continuous education, namely, the tripartite interaction of school, university and production. The goal of continuous technical professional education is the formation of a creative, self-developing, comprehensively developed personality of a specialist. The task of training engineering personnel must be addressed as early as possible, starting with the pre-university training of the applicant.

For these purposes, back in 2019, the Head of State decided to create an educational institution "National Children's Technopark". The main task of the Technopark is to create a nationally oriented personnel reserve for science-intensive and high-tech sectors of the economy of the Republic of Belarus, to organize systematic work with representatives of the real sector of the economy in order to assist in the practical application of developments.

The participants of the round table spoke about cooperation in these areas, frankly pointed out the existing problems and made proposals for leveling them.

Representatives of scientific divisions of universities within the framework of the general discussion were able to present to today's round table over 50 promising scientific developments in the fields of mechanical engineering, machine tool building and other sub-sectors in which the Belarusian industry may be interested.
