However, in frequent cases, standard solutions cannot be adopted due to specific reasons, such as climatic conditions, requiring specialized systems meeting any types of requirements.

Specialist engaged in the design of sustainable buildings, fully self-sufficient in terms of power thanks to microgeneration technology (alternative energy sources, trigeneration, i.e. using three energy sources at once: electricity, heat and cold), and utilization of energy-saving materials and structures.

Specialist in the application of genetically modified products in agriculture; engaging in the implementation of biotechnological achievements and creating products with preset properties, In spite of the public debate around the subject, most scientists believe GMOs to be harmless, which is why the use of GMOs keeps growing: in 2013, over 11% of the world’s cultivated land is sown with genetically modified crops, while 91% of soybeans, 88% of cotton, and 85% of corn in the USA are genetically modified. In Russia, GM seeds have been subject to registration since 1 July 2014. The first harvest of genetically modified soybeans is scheduled for 2016 and 2017, and the profession is sure to be in demand at the time.

Highly qualified diagnostician, familiar with information and communication technologies, able to determine a diagnosis online. Focused on provisional diagnosis and prevention. These specialists may be involved in remote mass preventive medical check-ups, or provide support for data centers processing information from personal diagnostic devices and health portals.
