2023: Opening of postgraduate recruitment on the subject of distributed registries

The Blockchain Department of the Fiztech School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics (FPMI) of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology opens the first recruitment to graduate school on the topic of distributed registers. Postgraduate studies will be the first state curriculum in Russia, which is fully devoted to blockchain direction. The basic organization of the department is the scientific center "Idea." Representatives of the department reported this on August 2, 2023.

One of the main factors that influenced the decision to launch graduate school was the growing demand from the Russian business community, which needs highly qualified blockchain specialists.

Industrial partners of our department offer students complex applied and research tasks in the field of blockchain, located at the intersection of several disciplines: mathematics, computer science, economics and even sociology. To solve many of them, very high-level specialists are needed. It is precisely such personnel capable of performing comprehensive research, both fundamental and applied, that our graduate school will prepare, "said Vladimir Gorgadze, head of the MIPT blockchain department, co-founder of the Atomyze tokenization platform and Newity IT company.

During the existence of the department, the annual recruitment for the program was increased from 5 to 20 people, partnerships were established with companies using blockchain technologies in their projects. In 2022, the blockchain master's degree became the state curriculum, which began issuing non-replaceable NFT tokens for master's degrees. In 2023, three graduates of the program received red diplomas.

The master's degree of the Blockchain Department of the FPMI MIPT demonstrated the high quality and demand for the education received by students. The preparation of candidates of sciences is the next logical step in the development of the department. Business tasks in the field of blockchain are becoming more complicated, and after them the development of blockchain technology itself is necessary. These are often no longer just technological tasks, but to a greater extent scientific. To solve them, the formation of a scientific environment is necessary. In the scientific center "Idea," research in the field of distributed registry technologies is being carried out within the framework of the Blockchain Technology Laboratory "ChainLab," said Tagir Aushev, scientific director of the scientific center "Idea," doctor of physics and mathematics. sciences, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The training will be held on the basis of the Fiztech School of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science within the framework of the group of scientific specialties "Computer Science and Computer Science."

The opening of a graduate school at the Blockchain Department of the FPMI MIPT will allow young scientists in the field of blockchain to create a new competence center at Fiztech and focus on the development of technologies in the field of distributed systems that will help move science in this direction and participate in global government projects. MIPT has always been one of the educational centers for such purposes, - said Andrei Mikhailovich Raigorodsky, director of the Fiztech School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics.

I really did not want to lose touch with research and academic fields. My master's degree training gave me systemic and up-to-date knowledge of modern blockchains. I liked the fact that the program included a large list of disciplines, the understanding of which is mandatory for workers in the subject area. In addition to academic disciplines, I also want to note the teaching staff, where everyone is an expert in his direction. In graduate school, I plan to take a topic at the junction of interesting and relevant directions for me data science and blockchain and study the technologies of graph neural networks in relation to important problems for the technology of distributed registers.
