The All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics with international participation has started in Saint Petersburg. The event is held with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Association of Technical Universities and the Federal Educational and Methodological Association in the field of “Mechanical Engineering” at the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” of Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University (PISh SPbPU).
The All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics with international participation was held regularly from 1999 to 2020.
At the opening of the Olympiad in the Technopolis Polytech research building, the participants were greeted in a video message by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Valery Falkov:
“Dear friends! Welcome to the All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics with International Participation. It is gratifying that after almost a five-year hiatus, we are reviving the platform for interaction between talented students and their mentors. I would like to express special gratitude to the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering”, which organized this meeting within its hospitable walls. The profile of the Olympiad is of particular importance today in the context of strengthening Russia’s ties with its closest foreign partners in the scientific and technological sphere. Mechanics allows us to solve key problems in the creation of technologies and science-intensive products in many industries, including mechanical engineering and engine building, shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing, medical and biomechanical systems. I am sure that the revival of the Olympiad will become one of the effective tools for supporting talented students. Friends, I wish you fruitful work, success and all the best!”
In 2025, the main goals of the revived All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics were to improve the academic and extracurricular work of students, develop deeper knowledge in the field of applied mechanics, develop creative activity and independent thinking, identify gifted students and develop human resources.
Vice-Governor of Saint Petersburg Vladimir Knyaginin conveyed his greetings to the participants, in which he also noted the contribution of Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University and the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” to the revival and development of the Olympiad: “The All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics is gaining particular relevance not only as a significant event in the personal and professional development of students. It also helps to synchronize watches and unite efforts in achieving common goals of technological development of representatives of the scientific and educational community, industry and government. It is no coincidence that this event is being held at the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” – one of the leaders of the corresponding federal project, which was previously part of the national project “Science and Universities”, and since 2025 has been implemented within the framework of the new national project “Youth and Children”. I am confident that participation in the Olympiad will give students a positive and useful experience, and it will become an important annual event in the world of training new generation engineers, developing advanced technologies and strengthening the technological leadership of our country. I thank the St. Petersburg Polytechnic for organizing the Olympiad and wish all its participants interesting tasks and success in finding new promising solutions!”
This year, 29 teams from the Republic of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia are participating in the Olympiad: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk, Belgorod, Volgograd, Ivanovo, Kaliningrad, Samara, Tver, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, Yaroslavl regions, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Perm Krai, Khabarovsk Krai.
“The advanced engineering school of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” has been training personnel for almost three years now, who will form the engineering elite of the country, the so-called engineering special forces. Therefore, the revival of the All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics, which has decades of history behind it, at the site of the SPbPU PISh – a modern and proven method of training engineering personnel in close cooperation with industrial partners – is a bright symbol that reflects the changes that are currently taking place in Russian engineering education in the broadest sense of the word. We see great interest in applied mechanics and potentially in engineering, including because teams from all over the country – from Kaliningrad to Khabarovsk, as well as students from foreign countries – participate in the Olympiad. I want to wish all participants success, and may the smartest win!” — the rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy announced the start of the Olympiad.
The All-Russian Student Olympiad in Applied Mechanics with International Participation is held in person and includes two blocks: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical block, participants are offered six problems to solve: three on the strength of materials and three on theoretical mechanics. Each problem will be assessed by an expert jury on a 10-point scale. The topics of the problems on the strength of materials include: tension-compression, bending and complex resistance. On theoretical mechanics: statics, kinematics and dynamics.
The practical block is a wide range of events that will allow the Olympiad participants to immerse themselves in the world of modern digital engineering. Thus, students will be able to take part in master classes on the use of domestic software packages for solving computer modeling problems from leading Russian vendors of engineering software: APM (STC “APM”), FlowVision (OOO “Tesis”), “Logos” (FSUE “RFNC-VNIIEF”).
Participants will be able to try their hand at the engineering championship, as well as visit leading high-tech industry enterprises such as Gazprom Neft Scientific and Technical Center and CentroTech-Engineering (part of the management structure of the Fuel Company JSC TVEL of Rosatom State Corporation) and get acquainted with their activities. In addition, Olympiad participants will visit the new laboratories of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU. An extensive cultural and entertainment program has been organized for the guests.
The results of the Olympiad will be announced on April 25, 2025. The Olympiad website is HTTPS: // Applied-Mechanics.ru/
