On October 21-22, 2021, the III International Scientific and Practical Conference “Russian Forum of Prospectors” will be held at the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (NRU MGSU) in Moscow.
Last year, as part of the events dedicated to the celebration of the industry holiday “Prospector’s Day”, the All-Russian conference with international participation “Russian Forum of Prospectors”, organized by the National Association of Prospectors and Designers, was held at the NRU MGSU.
This event was approved by deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin and chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Agrarian and Food Policy and Environmental Management Alexey Mayorov.
The Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation took a personal part in the plenary session. In total, more than 70 speakers took part in the Russian Prospectors ‘ Forum, its plenary part and thematic sections, including through remote communication. Video and text materials on the results of the forum were posted on the Internet on the channels of NOPRIZ and the Bulletin of Engineering Surveys, a collection of reports was published.
Planned events of the forum 2021
To date, the Russian Prospectors ‘ Forum is the only specialized discussion platform for prospectors, which allows them to really understand their role in achieving the goals of national development and the implementation of national projects and discuss the areas on which the quality of project solutions depends. This includes improving the quality and safety of facilitiescapital construction, solving environmental problems, developing a modern industry qualification system, improving and developing the institute of the “national register of specialists” taking into account the independent assessment of qualifications, digitalization, introducing progressive methods of work production and strengthening industrial interaction between prospectors and designers.
The initiator of the forum in 2021 is traditionally the National Association of Prospectors and Designers (NOPRIZ).
The main topics of the 2021 forum are: “The role of professional standards in the development of the education system”, “The evolution of the regulatory framework” and “State policy in the field of engineering surveys”.
On the first day of the “Russian Forum of Prospectors”, an All-Russian meeting on the development of engineering surveys will be held. During the thematic sessions, topical issues of digitalization, the introduction of modern equipment, the development of geoinformation systems, the implementation of tasks related to field control, quality control and assessment of compliance of the results of engineering surveys with the requirements of regulatory documents will be considered.
On the second day of the forum, a plenary session “Science and Education in the field of engineering surveys” will be held with the participation of representatives of educational organizations implementing programs of secondary and higher professional education in the field of engineering surveys. It is also planned to hold sessions on the topics of “Scientific research in engineering research”, “Development of qualifications in the field of engineering research”and the development of education in various fields of survey activity.
The main purpose of the conference is to consolidate industry universities to solve problems related to increasing the human, technological and economic potential of survey and design and survey enterprises, attracting the attention of public authorities to the most important problems and tasks that must be solved in the interests of effective participation of prospectors in the implementation of national projects.
According to the results of the conference, a collection of materials based on expanded abstracts and a catalog of universities, colleges and specialized departments that train specialists in the field of engineering surveys will be published.
