31 october 2022

The first Youth Model of International Telecommunication Union was held at our University.

20 young people - students of leading St Petersburg universities and neighboring countries took part in the event. The participants of the Youth Model are students, undergraduates, postgraduates from SPbSUT, ETU “LETI”, Saint Petersburg Mining University, PGUPS, Inha University (Uzbeksitan), TUIT (Uzbeksitan).

ITU Youth Model is an absolutely new format of the event for beginners, the purpose of which is to form among young people a deep understanding of the activities and prospects for the development of the information and telecommunications technology industry, the importance of international cooperation in this field. The concept of ITU Youth Model was presented at the All-Russian competition "Leaders of International Cooperation", as well as at the international youth forum "Eurasia Global". The concept received positive feedback from experts.

SPbSUT has been an academic member of the Union since 2012 and has a successful experience in hosting ITU events. Representatives of the University take an active part in the activities of the Union commissions and the preparation of relevant contributions and recommendations, in particular, within the framework of the meetings "Protocols and Specification of Testing", "Future Networks, including Cloud Computing, Mobile Networks and Networks of Subsequent Generations", "Multimedia" and "Internet of Things, Smart Cities and Communities".

The experts of the event were Director of ITU Regional Office for the CIS Countries Natalia Mochu, Head of the International Cooperation Department of SPbSUT Irina Karimova, Head of  International Department of the Russian Radio Research Institute Nikolay Varlamov, Deputy Head of the Laboratory of the Russian Radio Research Institute Arseniy Plossky, Program Coordinator of ITU Regional Office for the CIS Region Farid Nakhli, Head of Department of Communication Networks and Data Transmission SPbSUT Andrey Kucheryavy, Director of  Research Institute "Communication Technologies" Vasily Elagin and Associate Professor of Department of Communication Networks and Data Transmission Ammar Muthanna.

The ITU Youth Model program included an introduction to the history, structure, activities of one of the oldest international organizations in the world, lectures and master classes by leading experts in the field of ICT, study of the process of drafting contributions and an excursion to The A.S. Popov Central Museum of Communications.

The participants assigned roles, listened to the draft contribution and discussed it. On the final day students divided into teams, prepared and defended projects on the topics of regional initiatives adopted within the framework of ITU activities in the CIS countries.

"Such activity fits perfectly into the implementation of ITU Generation Connect youth strategy, which we support both at the global level and at the regional level. I am sure that the students will further shape their professional path taking into account the new knowledge and experience that they have received here today," Natalia Mochu noted.

"An excellent event and a good first step in order to involve students in international activities and prepare them for this work. Often technical specialties do not have the necessary negotiation skills. This event allows us to develop other qualities and also shows how it works from the inside," Arseniy Plossky stressed.

It was decided to hold an annual ITU Youth Model at SPbSUT on an annual basis, taking into account the successful implementation of the event program, the high interest of students in this topic and the positive feedback from participants experts.
