MEPhI and “Sber” have signed a cooperation agreement. The partners will jointly develop educational and scientific projects in the field of artificial intelligence and digital technologies. One of the key areas will be the use of the GitVerse platform from “SberTech” in educational and research work.

“Sber” Career Day at MEPhI

Students and faculty at MEPhI will be able to use GitVerse as a platform for collaborative work on technological projects. The platform will help bring team members together, exchange knowledge, and create digital solutions in practice.

The collaboration will not be limited to a single platform. “Sber” and MEPhI plan to jointly organize educational and career guidance events, promote youth technological entrepreneurship, and create more opportunities for students to gain practical experience.

The partnership will enable MEPhI to expand students’ access to modern technological infrastructure and real‑world industry challenges. For Sber, this is an opportunity to work with promising student and research teams and jointly create new solutions in the field of AI and digital technologies.

Irina Balakina, First Vice‑Rector of MEPhI: “Today, a leading technical university cannot afford to focus exclusively on education. We are moving to a model where research is on par with educational activities in terms of scale and creates full‑fledged marketable products. Such a transition cannot be accomplished in a few months and solely by our own efforts. We need the expertise and experience of technology leaders, one of which is Sber. The agreement will strengthen this cooperation, which will provide additional opportunities for the development of our students and researchers.”

German Barg, Chairman of the Moscow Bank of Sberbank: “Today, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many industries, so it is especially important that students can not just study technologies, but create real projects based on them. GitVerse provides a convenient environment for this, where you can work in a team, exchange knowledge, and bring ideas to fruition. Cooperation with MEPhI will help combine strong university expertise with practical business tasks. I am confident that this approach will open up new opportunities for students, researchers, and Sberbank itself.”
