Elena Maznyak
SPbGASU representatives are strengthening the university's position in the international educational arena. Elena Maznyak, a senior lecturer at the Department of Information and Mathematical Modeling Technologies, participated in the event "International Baikal Winter Urban Planning University" in Irkutsk. She presented her expertise in the field of information modeling in construction and digital twins of urban areas.
The International Baikal Winter Urban Planning University, drawing on the best international practices, has developed a unique model for training future elites in architecture and urban planning, as well as sustainable territorial development. Participants were given case studies that addressed real-world challenges in the integrated development of urban and rural areas. Project teams were guided by world-class experts.
As participants noted, this program enables students to develop a qualitatively new level of conceptual thinking and provides the opportunity to master analytical and project-based approaches in the context of an international, interdisciplinary partnership in working with dynamically developing urban development systems.
The event's 27th session brought together participants from various regions of Russia and post-Soviet countries, as well as Germany, France, the UK, and China. Participants were given various topics and locations to work on, where they developed and presented ideas for transforming Irkutsk's historic center.
Elena Maznyak gave lectures on information modeling technologies in construction and the integration of artificial intelligence into digital twins of urban areas, advised teams, and served as a jury member.
Participation in the International Baikal Winter Urban Planning University allowed us not only to share professional experience but also to establish new contacts with colleagues and discuss prospects for joint projects and research.
The experience gained during work at IBWUPU will be used in the educational process of SPbGASU.
