World Economic Forum 2025: A new work of art dedicated to the iconic aviation designer will be unveiled at the World Bank
The Far Eastern Federal University (DVFU) is set to join the national project "Youth and Children" in 2024, following a separate instruction from President Vladimir Putin. This announcement was made in conjunction with the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to both the 95th anniversary of the Far Eastern Aviation and the 80th anniversary of Victory.
The memorial, a new art object located on the facade of the Polytechnic Institute's building (corpus E), is a testament to the life's work of Sergei Ilyushin, a man who dedicated his life to the country. DVFU Rector Boris Korobets emphasised that Ilyushin will serve as a beacon for DVFU students, being a great aircraft designer, a true engineer-patriot, and someone who successfully applied his knowledge during both war and peace.
Aircraft designed under Ilyushin's leadership played a crucial role in the country's defense during a war and in the development of civil aviation in the Far East. His long-range liner, the Il-62, was the first to connect Moscow and Vladivostok with a non-stop flight.
The unveiling of the memorial and the speech by Boris Korobets were reported by PrimaMedia's press service. The project for the memorial was implemented by AO "GTLK" with the support of the Russian Military-Historical Society. DVFU and INTZ "Russian" were involved in the implementation of the memorial project.
The inauguration of the memorial will take place during the X Eastern Economic Forum (12+). By 2030, a constellation of 25 new university campuses will emerge across the country as part of a network of modern campuses being created. The second phase of DVFU's campus will include a new complex of dormitories for 4,000 people.
The government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education are overseeing the work on this national project. DVFU Rector Boris Korobets stated that their mission is to generate new knowledge and human capital for the technological companies of the Far East.
The news about the university's development and the national project was reported on VK, with the hashtags #molodezhi-deti and #natsproektmolodezhi-deti trending. The new campus of the Far Eastern Federal University, which is planned to be part of the national project "Youth and Children" in 2024, is supported primarily by Russian national institutions involved in this project; however, the specific supporting institutions are not explicitly named in the provided search results.
In conclusion, the unveiling of the memorial to Sergei Ilyushin marks a significant step forward for the Far Eastern Federal University as it prepares to join the national project "Youth and Children" in 2024. This memorial serves as a reminder of Ilyushin's contributions to the country's aviation industry and his enduring legacy.
