    UK aviation flying high with new tech funding for security

    Funding will strengthen UK’s security standards and ensure passengers can continue to fly with ease of mind.

    • new funding to develop smart airport technology will enable the UK to stay ahead of potential security threats and reduce delays at airports
    • pioneering projects will solve complex aviation security challenges and will support jobs and skills across the country
    • with the aerospace and air transport sector worth £20 billion to the UK economy, investment will bolster economic growth and deliver on the government’s Plan for Change

    Passengers are set to benefit from smoother journeys thanks to funding for smart airport technology, announced today (18 March 2025) by the Department for Transport (DfT).

    Six successful British tech companies will receive a share of £450,000 to develop the smart screening technology of the future, enhancing UK security and reducing delays at airports.

    Based across the country – from Tewkesbury to Cambridge and Nottingham – each of the companies will develop scanning equipment to improve threat detection and reduce the number of false alarms and manual checks, speeding up screening processes and reducing inconvenience to passengers.

    With the sector worth £20 billion to the UK economy, continued investment will ensure the long-term future of aviation, keeping the UK competitive internationally.

    The programme will also build local jobs and skills that will kickstart economic growth across the country and break down barriers to opportunity.

    Alongside grant funding, the programme will provide tailored business support workshops delivered by experts at the Connected Places Catapult in collaboration with the department. These workshops will provide advice and mentoring on issues ranging from technical matters, corporate finance, regulation, trial design, customer needs and more.

    Aviation Minister, Mike Kane, said: 

    Safety is our top priority and this funding will strengthen the UK’s already rigorous security standards, bolster our competitiveness internationally and ensure that passengers can continue to fly with ease of mind.

    As part of our Plan for Change, we are turbocharging investment in the aviation sector and going further and faster with expansion plans to kickstart economic growth and deliver high-skilled jobs across the country.

    Connected Places Catapult is the delivery partner for the programme and has already successfully led a number of schemes for the department, including the Transport Research and Innovation Grants (TRIG) programme, which aims to drive scientific and technological progress across UK transport.

    Erika Lewis, Chief Executive Officer at Connected Places Catapult, said:

    Making transport efficient, inclusive and safe is a key priority for Connected Places Catapult. By supporting innovators with ideas to further strengthen security at airports, not only are we helping to improve the passenger experience, but we are also supporting companies to develop and scale here in the UK.

    Sam Pollock, Iconal Director, said: 

    DfT’s HADeS innovation grant funding is a great example of government working with SMEs such as ourselves to accelerate the development of cutting edge technologies, supporting the UK’s world class aviation security industry.

    Press release

    Ambitions are high as UK celebrates a year in Horizon Europe

    Hundreds of researchers, business leaders and academics gather at the Oval in London to mark a year of UK success in Horizon – and plan for much more.

    • Hundreds of researchers, business leaders and academics gather at the Oval in London to mark a year of UK success in Horizon – and plan for much more
    • £80 billion Horizon Europe programme is the world’s largest international research endeavour, and an important part of the UK’s relationship with Europe
    • International research collaboration is a key driver of economic growth, and the government’s Plan for Change

    More than 500 of the UK’s leading researchers, businesspeople and scientists will gather at London’s Oval today (Tuesday 18 March) to celebrate the successes that have already been delivered since the UK associated to the Horizon Europe programme, last year. They’ll also hear advice from industry experts, European diplomats, and leading academics on how to seize the opportunities for funding and collaboration that Horizon offers, with £80 billion up for grabs through the programme.

    Initial signs suggest UK association is trending in the right direction. Recent ERC Synergy Grants saw awards made to 18 UK-hosted projects, the second highest number. Horizon is giving British researchers and innovators access to funding, so they can tackle some of the biggest issues facing society, from breakthroughs in healthcare, to putting AI to work across the economy. All of this stands to unleash growth and create jobs in high-potential new industries, all of which supports the growth goals at the heart of the government’s Plan for Change.

    In 2025, the government is doubling down on its efforts to help the UK’s brightest minds access the opportunities on offer through Horizon, through a new PR blitz, networking events in Italy, Germany and Spain for British businesspeople and researchers, and grants to help cover the businesses cover the cost of attending R&D events across Europe.

    Science Minister Lord Vallance, who will speak at today’s Showcase, said:

    Science is stronger when we work together with others, and as new technologies like AI develop rapidly international collaboration on research is more important than ever before.

    Investing in R&D unlocks the door to more productive businesses, highly skilled and paid jobs, economic growth, and innovations that improve our lives and health. We need to go even further to seize the opportunity our association to Horizon represents and then reap the benefits.

    Besides Lord Vallance’s keynote, attendees at the Showcase will also hear from UKRI’s International Champion Professor Christopher Smith, DSIT’s Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Chris Johnson, and Cyril Robin-Champigneul from the EU’s delegation to the UK. That will be supplemented by sessions with experts from the UKRI on how to build the best bids for Horizon grants, and networking opportunities.

    DSIT Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Chris Johnson said:

    Over the last year we’ve seen some initial green shoots of recovery when it comes to UK participation in Horizon Europe. Events like today are an important chance to build on that positive momentum, and learn from the experience of those who’ve already been successful in building bids for funding.

    In 2025 and beyond, we want more researchers and businesses to seize the benefits of Horizon, to accelerate the discoveries that will boost our economy, and deliver new technologies that will improve all our lives.

    UKRI International Champion Professor Christopher Smith said:

    Today’s gathering at the Oval is a testament to the extraordinary progress we’ve made since associating to the Horizon Europe programme. The collaboration and innovation fostered through Horizon Europe are driving breakthroughs that will shape our future, from healthcare advancements, to climate monitoring, to AI integration across industries.

    As we look ahead, it’s crucial that we continue to leverage these opportunities to work collaboratively with our international partners, advancing research, fostering innovation, and supporting our vibrant research community.

    Businesses up and down the country are already carrying out cutting-edge R&D thanks to Horizon backing, as well as building consortia with partners in countries ranging from Canada to South Korea, and beyond.

    We know from recent history that the UK can be a leader in this area. We have 4 of the top 10 universities in the world, and the second-highest number of Nobel prize winners globally. A quarter of projects in which the UK participated, funded through Horizon Europe’s predecessor, were UK-led. 

    Further information, including practical support on how to apply, is available on the Horizon Hub – found on Innovate UK and UK Research and Innovation websites. UKRI also host regular events that help guide businesses and researchers through the opportunities on offer and the application process. 

    Potential applicants can find Horizon Europe calls (funding opportunities) open to UK-based applicants using the European Commission’s funding and tender opportunities portal. They can apply for Horizon Europe funding through the European Commission’s funding and tenders portal, where the original funding call is found. More information on how to submit applications are available on the European Commission’s website.

    Tetron Welbeck LLP (Company Number OC366746) failed without reasonable excuse by 15 June 2023 to furnish to the Environment Agency information required by a Notice in writing dated 15th May 2023.

    This was served on it pursuant to section 71(2) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, contrary to section 71(3) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

    The offence was committed with the consent or connivance of, or was attributable to any neglect on the part of Edward Seekings, contrary to Section 157(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Extension to technology trial helping transform adult social care across city

    Source: City of Wolverhampton

    City of Wolverhampton Council is working with West Midlands 5G (WM5G) and neighbouring authorities to show how Technology Enabled Care (TEC) can improve the lives of hundreds of city residents.

    As part of the project sensor devices and voice activated wireless technologies including fall detectors, smart speakers, smart doorbells and remote monitoring sensors, are being used in people’s homes to support individual care needs.

    The trial programme is funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) under the 5G Innovation Region scheme and focuses on eligible care and support needs of 3 groups – people aged 65 and over, people with learning disabilities and people with physical disabilities.

    More than 250 referrals have been made in Wolverhampton since the start of the trial in September 2024.

    This is benefitting the region by reducing hospital admissions, optimising carer visits, and enabling proactive care through advanced monitoring and predictive analytics.

    Now the West Midlands has secured additional funding to stay at the forefront of the UK’s digital revolution.

    The extension of the project will support regional and national scaling, expanding TEC to more local authorities, strengthening collaboration with NHS Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).

    It will also enable the development of a business case, procurement framework, and programmes to support culture change and drive long term transformation.

    Councillor Jasbir Jaspal, Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing at City of Wolverhampton Council, said: “It’s an exciting time for social care in Wolverhampton.

    “We’re just getting started with technology enabled care solutions, and we are already seeing positive impacts on culture change and our residents’ wellbeing.

    “We strongly believe, and have seen evidence, of how technology enabled care can help vulnerable adults in our city live independently at home, support social workers and carers, tackle pressures on the NHS by reducing bed blocking and hospital admissions, and make a shift from reactive to proactive care.

    “Thanks to this funding extension, we are looking forward to supporting many more people over the coming months.”

    Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Digital and Community at City of Wolverhampton Council, said: “We are driven by digital to make positive changes across our service areas by utilising technology and this is a prime example of how that is making an impact in the real world.

    “The extension of this project is great news and helps ensure everyone is able to get connected and benefit from digital devices to make a difference to their everyday lives.”

    The Isle of Wight Council Library Service is making exciting changes to its online service provisions, making it even easier for customers to access free e-newspapers and e-magazines using their library card.

    Borrowbox, the app that provides eBooks and eAudiobooks for the library service, has extended its offerings to include magazines and newspapers in a new category called ePress.

    From 1 April, Isle of Wight library customers will be able to meet all their digital service needs in one convenient app using just their library card number and four-digit PIN.

    Customers who currently access e-newspapers and e-magazines through Pressreader and Libby apps will simply need to install the Borrowbox app on their device and start enjoying the fantastic range of publications there instead.

    The Pressreader subscription will end on 1 April, while users of the Libby app can continue using it until November.

    Louise Emery, development librarian, said: “While this change to our online service provision may cause a slight disruption to customers in the short term, we believe that the convenience of providing our eBooks, eAudio, and now ePress in a single app will significantly improve our service in the long term.

    “It will make it easier for new and existing customers to make the most of our full range of services.”

    Councillor Julie Jones-Evans, Cabinet member responsible for libraries, added: “This initiative is a fantastic step forward in making our library services more accessible and user-friendly.

    “By consolidating our digital offerings into one app, we are simplifying the process for our residents and ensuring they have easy access to a wealth of information and entertainment.”

    Library staff are always happy to help demonstrate how to use the app, and queries can be emailed to libraries@iow.gov.uk

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Bench art revealed ahead of Front Street celebration event

    Source: City of York

    Art of Protest has installed the first phase of new nature-inspired artwork in Acomb, ahead of the mural reveal and celebration event later this month.

    Each of the 8 wooden benches have been transformed with a unique design to reflect links to nature. Each bench is painted with a leaf design from the local woodland.

    This follows an extensive programme of engagement events and workshops where Art of Protest gathered the views and ideas of the local community and gained an understanding of what people would like to see.

    Alongside the benches, Art of Protest is also working on a new mural which aims to capture the spirit and sense of community in Acomb. This final piece of artwork is set to be unveiled at the celebration event later this month.

    The event will take place on Front Street on Saturday 22 March from 4.00pm, with a chance to see the new mural, meet the artists and join in with some creative spray paint activities. The event will continue from 6.00pm at Rise Bluebird Bakery café, where there will be a DJ set and community art exhibition.

    This art project is part of the wider scheme to improve Front Street and create a more accessible, vibrant, people-friendly space. The council received £570,000 of UK Shared Prosperity Funding to deliver these phase 2 improvements, which include new seating and planters, improved Blue Badge parking, wide and level pedestrian crossings, wayfinding signs and upgraded public toilets.

    Cllr Katie Lomas, Executive Member with responsibility for Finance and Major Projects, said:

    This is an incredibly exciting part of the project and it is great to see even more improvements take shape on Front Street.

    “This scheme is funded through the government’s UK shared prosperity fund and is helping to create a more accessible and attractive space for people to live, work, shop or visit.

    “The newly painted benches are a very welcome addition and do a fantastic job of brightening up the area. The designs for both the artwork and wider phase 2 improvements are based on significant engagement with the local community, so it will be great to be able to celebrate the progress with local people this weekend.

    “I am very much looking forward to seeing the finished mural and would encourage those who live or spend time in Acomb to come along and get involved.”

    Jeff Clark, Creative Director at Art of Protest said:

    It was great to see the evolution of the project, taking the community on the journey and developing local talent through the Street Art Academy and a local artist.

    “The feedback was inspirational and there is so much love and pride in the community.

    “We are celebrating the return of local trees and a wonderful idea of each bench having a local leaf emblem, so visitors to the area can say ‘see you at the oak bench’.

    “Each bench also has a carved out leaf emblem so they are accessible and engaging. The return of the oaks is then incorporated into the mural design.

    “We are so grateful to the local community, the support and great ideas. Please come and celebrate as this is your hard work.”

    Published Tuesday, 18 March 2025

    City of York Council is proud to announce that 15 of its social workers have each received a nationwide award in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the social work profession.

    ‘Amazing Social Workers’ is a campaign run by the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) and champions exceptional work across the profession.

    The awards aim to highlight the achievements of individuals and teams in the profession, whilst also raising the profile and public understanding of the critical role of social work in our communities.

    Frontline practitioners, managers, leaders and educators are among the Council’s social workers who have been nominated by colleagues, their managers or members of the public. 

    Cllr Lucy Steels-Walshaw, Executive Member for Adult Social Care at City of York Council, said:

    Every day, social workers in York go above and beyond advocating for the adults, children and families they support. Their role helps uphold human rights, promote social justice and make a positive difference to people’s lives and York’s amazing social workers do just that. These awards let us shine a spotlight on exceptional social work practice, while thanking and paying tribute to the individuals and teams who make it happen.” 

    Cllr Bob Webb, Executive Member for Children at City of York Council, said:

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: New report uncovers further evidence for a Greater Norwich Unitary Council

    Source: City of Norwich

    A compelling case for creating a new Greater Norwich Council has been set out as part of the biggest overhaul of local government in half a century.

    The new report, which will be considered by councillors at a meeting this evening (18 March), sets out the case for why there is a need to create a new Greater Norwich Unitary Council as part of a three-unitary model to cover the whole of Norfolk.

    Mike Stonard, leader of Norwich City Council, said: “Greater Norwich is unique within Norfolk, a distinct urban entity with different needs, challenges and opportunities to its largely rural hinterland. Its economy and demography are unlike any other part of the county.

    “It is the economic and cultural capital of the region and it drives growth. That is why Greater Norwich needs its own single council, where people who live and work here, who understand the city, and who really know their local communities, can represent the interests of their residents.

    “A single unitary council for Greater Norwich would coordinate all key services and ensure better outcomes for citizens, to improve their lives, including coordinated improvements in education, social care, children’s services, and housing, and coordinating with the local NHS. In this way, it would be better able to tackle inequalities, improve educational attainment, develop workplace skills, improve health, and ensure better life opportunities for citizens, all of which would improve their health, wellbeing and quality of life.

    “It would also be able to adopt an integrated transport plan to make getting into and around the city easier, coordinating all modes of transport so that they work together better for people.”

    The new report is based around four interdependent pillars – economic ambition, enhancing public service delivery, financial resilience and connectivity. It also demonstrates the ambition of being a stable, sustainable and effective 21st century local council which can deliver from day one – and for the next 50 years.

    Further details show Greater Norwich to be a high growth city, home to 31 per cent of Norfolk’s businesses and with a diverse and increasing talent pool. Greater Norwich is a £9.9 billion economy, supporting 158,000 jobs and 10,500 businesses.

    The case for a Greater Norwich follows on from work across all seven of Norfolk’s district council partners which set out why a three-unitary model is the best solution for Norfolk.

    Other benefits of a Greater Norwich Unitary Authority:

    • secure strategic economic growth, based around Norwich’s distinct dynamic, productive, and inclusive economy, while supporting the wider region of Norfolk to prosper
    • harnessing the city’s unique opportunities for regeneration and renewal to build a thriving net zero economy
    • promoting the city centre as a hub for innovation and creativity
    • be a sustainable authority, able to transform and deliver high-quality public services
    • be strongly positioned to create public services that are not only fit for today’s challenges but will last into the future
    • prioritise creating access to high-quality, health-promoting jobs
    • capitalise on Norwich’s unique strengths, including the academic excellence of its universities, through joint working with the city’s education institutions, cultural heritage, and strong local networks
    • allow a future Norfolk and Suffolk Mayoral Combined County Authority to capitalise on powers and funding, accelerating the rate of delivery and powering up the region

    A full proposal will be developed and submitted to Government by 26 September.

    The newly formed Coventry Job Fest is here to connect local talent with leading employers.

    Taking jobs directly out into the community, the Job Shop are working with a wide range of local and national employers to create exciting opportunities for local residents.

    Job Fest will get underway by visiting three different wards, across three days and will ensure that residents have direct access to employment, training, and volunteering opportunities.

    Wards include St Michael’s, Foleshill and Longford. These wards currently have the highest youth unemployment figures, so Job Fest is here to make a difference and change that.

    All those that attend will benefit from fast-tracked applications and interviews, on the day recruitment, CV and interview workshops, and the chance to engage with employers through innovative activities, including VR experiences.

    Councillor Dr Kindy Sandhu, Cabinet Member for Education and Skills at Coventry City Council said: “The fantastic team that work at the Job Shop have already made such a positive impact on Coventry residents over the years, so to now take all that hard work out into the community in the form of Job Fest is going to be amazing for our local people. It will be exciting to watch Job Fest grow and create opportunities.”

    There will be some major employers on hand at the three separate events. These include Severn Trent, E.ON, Costco and the NHS to name a few. There will also be some training providers who include Coventry College and the Job Shop’s Adult Education Service.

    Councillor Jim O’Boyle, Cabinet Member for Jobs, Regeneration and Climate Change at Coventry City Council said: “Our Job Shop does a brilliant job and this move for Job Fest to take jobs and opportunities out to communities is really good news.

    “The Job Shop already works with employers, large and small, and these events will have a wide range of employers, all with real jobs available on the day. Taking them out into the community means it will be really easy for people to pop in and I hope to see lots of people there.”

    Current registered Job Shop customers can book onto the events beforehand by speaking to their Employment Coach, however Job Fest is open for anyone to just turn up to on the day.

    The sessions will take place on the following days at the venues listed:

    • St Michael’s: Monday 28 April – 10am – 2pm: St Peters Church, Charles Street, Hillfields, Coventry, CV1 5NP and Victoria Street Square, Hillfields, CV1 5LZ

Parks can be used to create film projects that combine the beauty of nature, the memory of historical heritage and modern technologies.

    Previously, film producers sent requests to the Moskino film commission or contacted the owners of the sites themselves to conduct filming. Now, thanks to a specialized online service — the Moskino film platform — it is possible not only to submit an application to the film commission, but also to view a catalog of available filming locations, get advice, and much more.

    Picturesque landscapes

    Serebryany Bor has always attracted creative people: artists, poets, musicians. Today the park offers three filming sites available for online booking. One of them is a forest area (4th line of Khoroshevsky Serebryany Bor). The artificial island “Serebryany Bor” was formed after the construction of the Khoroshevsky shipping canal in 1937. The forest is connected to the city by a bridge built according to the design of architect Iosif Fridlyand and engineer Apollon Belogolovy.

    The island reserve (Tamanskaya Street, Building 55, Block 5, Building 5) is located on an area of about 328 hectares. Its territory is divided into several zones: walking, recreational, administrative and security. Here you can find rich flora and fauna, as well as picturesque landscapes.

    In the depths of Serebryany Bor on the bank of the Moskva River is the Veteran Park (Tamanskaya Street, Building 110), created in the mid-1950s on the site of drained swamps. Today it occupies about 10 hectares. Such quiet areas attract Muscovites and guests of the capital with the opportunity to relax from the city noise. The Great Victory Day is also traditionally celebrated here.

    The Moskvoretsky Natural and Historical Park is located on the banks of the Moskva River. This place is suitable for both active recreation enthusiasts and those who want to enjoy the silence. Comfortable infrastructure here is combined with a variety of landscapes – from spacious meadows to tennis courts in the forest and picturesque coastlines.

    In addition, the site “Park Zvezd” (between Krylatskaya Street and Marshal Zhukov Avenue) is available for booking on the website of the film platform “Moskino”. In 1999, famous actors, musicians and cultural figures planted trees along the right bank of the Moscow River, naming them in their honor. On the territory of Park Zvezd there are both convenient pedestrian and bicycle paths, as well as paths winding among majestic old pines. Wooden decks with viewing platforms and picturesque views are perfect for location filming.

    Sobyanin told how the Moskino film platform simplified the organization of filming

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Almost three thousand units of new modern equipment will appear in 51 schools that will open this year after modernization under the city program “My school”. Digital microscopes, mini-farms, 3D printers and much more will be supplied to educational institutions. This was reported by the capital’s Department of Education and Science.

    “The large-scale modernization program “My School” is ongoing in Moscow. This year, another 51 renovated buildings will open, where more than 35 thousand children will study. At the same time, not only the infrastructure and appearance of the buildings will change, but also their content. The schools will have modern equipment: 11 types of new educational equipment will be delivered, including laser engravers, CNC machines and digital microscopes,” the press service of the capital reported.

    Department of Education and Science.

    Learning will become more visual

    The capital’s schools, which will be updated by the beginning of the next school year, will have digital and stereoscopic microscopes that will allow studying microorganisms and cells. The learning process will become more visual, and children will develop an interest in biology and chemistry from an early age. Several such devices are already in School No. 1190, which opened after modernization in 2024. Using them, children conduct experiments, get acquainted with living organisms, and can even document their discoveries with photos and videos.

    The updated buildings will also feature kits for assembling quadcopters and robots. In this way, children will master the basics of electronics, mechanics and programming. For example, they are already used by students of School No. 281, which was modernized last year. During lessons and additional classes, children learn the basics of programming, prototyping and 3D modeling, as well as develop logical thinking and learn to solve technical problems. Schoolchildren not only assemble robots, but also program them.

    The guys who are interested in engineering will use laser cutting and engraving machines, as well as 3D printers and scanners. With their help, schoolchildren will create three-dimensional models and work with various materials, such as wood, plastic, fabric and fiberglass. This will help develop spatial thinking and creativity, and will also introduce young Muscovites to modern technologies that are used in industry and design.

    “After modernization, our school got a laser engraver and a CNC milling machine. Thanks to them, kids learn to create products from wood, plastic and steel in technology classes. Children’s imagination is limitless, and such equipment is best suited for implementing the most original ideas. My students create plywood boxes, other three-dimensional objects, souvenirs and crafts,” said Maria Kuznetsova, a technology teacher at School No. 281.

    To make biology lessons even more interesting, mini-greenhouses will be installed in classrooms, allowing flowers to be grown both traditionally and without soil. Students will be able to observe plant growth, analyze the influence of various factors on their development, and conduct their own research. With the help of digital geography laboratories, children will study the atmosphere, soil, water environment, and climate processes. For example, they will be able to measure humidity levels, air temperature, and other parameters.

    The implementation of the largest modernization project in the history of the capital, “My School”, began in 2024. As part of the Moscow Mayor’s program, school spaces are being updated: they are becoming more modern and functional. Work has already been completed in four buildings. These are schools No. 1514 on Akademika Chelomeya Street (building 6a), No. 1190 on Pyatnitskoye Shosse (building 25, building 3), No. 281 on Kominterna Street (building 4, building 1) and No. 37 on Michurinsky Prospekt (building 42). The city plans to update up to 100 educational buildings annually.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Sergei Sobyanin: Linden and elm trees will be planted on Leninsky Prospekt this year

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    In 2024, more than 4.5 thousand trees were planted on 24 major Moscow highways. Almost the same amount of work is planned for this year. One of the main greening sites will be Leninsky Prospekt, said Sergei Sobyanin in his blog.

    “Green walls of trees protect city residents from dust and noise coming from the roadway. Large spreading lindens and elms, apple and bird cherry trees, oaks and birches give a unique charm to any, even the most ordinary street. That is why we are actively landscaping the outbound highways and other major streets of Moscow, where until recently there was a clear lack of greenery,” the Moscow Mayor noted.

    The straight and wide Leninsky Prospekt stretches for 14 kilometers — from the Garden Ring to the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD). It is quite difficult to green it in one year. In addition, the metro is currently being built in the middle part of the highway. Nevertheless, from 2021 to 2023, almost 1.6 thousand trees were planted on Leninsky Prospekt, mainly in areas closer to the MKAD.

    In 2025, they plan to carry out comprehensive landscaping of the historical part of Leninsky Prospekt — between the Garden Ring and Gagarin Square, where over 400 trees will be planted. Most of them will appear on wide sidewalks and create a green wall between the roadway and the facades of residential buildings. Some of the trees will decorate Kaluga Square and Gagarin Square, which will become more comfortable thanks to this.

    “For Leninsky Prospekt, we chose mature trees aged 20–35 years, four to eight meters high: linden trees “Pallida” and elms “Novy Gorizont”. They adapt perfectly to the peculiarities of the Moscow climate: they steadfastly endure harsh winters and hot summers, and are resistant to strong winds,” Sergei Sobyanin emphasized.

    Planting work began about two weeks ago. You will be able to admire the result quite soon.

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Almost three thousand students from Moscow colleges have undergone in-depth training in in-demand industrial specialties in the innovative educational space “Rudnevo”. At the unique site, students can practice their skills in conditions as close to real ones as possible. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

    “Our goal is to train specialists in Moscow colleges who will be able to perform real tasks immediately after completing their studies. To do this, together with our partner employers, we are replacing outdated equipment, updating educational programs and creating new sites for practical training of students. The flagship center “Rudnevo”, opened in October last year, has become an important part of this work. The site conditions are as close as possible to production. Moreover, it is located in an industrial park where operating enterprises are located. During the operation of the center, almost three thousand students have been trained here, and this is only the beginning. Students from several colleges at once can practice practical skills here,” noted Anastasia Rakova.

    The flagship center for practical training of Moscow colleges “Rudnevo” is a high-tech educational and production complex, which is part of the special economic zone “Technopolis Moscow”. On an area of more than nine thousand square meters there are 21 workshops and laboratories equipped with modern equipment.

    Students can develop skills needed for work in such areas as mechanical engineering, electronics, industrial automation, aviation industry and unmanned aircraft systems. The unique educational platform allows for practical classes to be held simultaneously for students from several colleges.

    Putin and Sobyanin opened an innovative practical platform in Rudnev

    The center has all the conditions for studying: each student has their own work place, and a coworking space is equipped for group projects. The territory has a canteen with free hot meals for students on a budget form of education and a cafe where dishes are prepared by students of the capital’s food colleges.

    Practical classes are conducted by 42 masters of industrial training from Moscow colleges and 40 specialists from industrial enterprises. Large companies are participating in the development of training programs, in particular the capital’s machine-building plants Avangard and Skorost, the joint-stock company Kronshtad, the developer and manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles and software for their autonomy Gaskar and many other organizations.

    The center also cooperates with the country’s leading engineering universities, including the Moscow State Technological University “Stankin” and the Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman. This allows students to obtain relevant knowledge and skills that meet the requirements of the modern labor market.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Motorists are advised not to rush to change winter tires to summer ones

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Traffic Management Centre (TMC) recommends that Moscow motorists wait to change their winter tires to summer ones. Despite the warm days, the air temperature at night and in the morning still drops below zero, and black ice may form. Driving on summer tires in such weather is unsafe.

    “We strongly recommend that drivers switch from winter to summer tires only when the average daily temperature is above five to six degrees Celsius. This will help make your trips safer and avoid accidents on the road,” said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

    Maxim Liksutov.

    The characteristics of winter and summer tires differ significantly. The safety of the driver and other road users depends on their correct use. Summer tires become hard at low temperatures, and their grip on the asphalt deteriorates. They improve the car’s handling in warm weather when they become soft. Winter tires were developed specifically for cold weather. They remain elastic even at temperatures below zero degrees and provide reliable grip on the asphalt.

    Specialists from the Moscow Traffic Management Center urge Moscow motorists to closely monitor the weather forecast and change tires in a timely manner.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow annually monitors the state of its green space

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The protection of plantings is one of the fundamental principles of caring for Moscow’s green fund. The city has enshrined this provision in the law on the protection of the green fund. Owners and users of land plots on which trees and shrubs are located are obliged to monitor their condition and ensure normal development. Specialists from the capital’s Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection explained how to determine that a tree is feeling well.

    “A healthy tree has thick green foliage of normal size, it has a well-developed crown, no signs of disease, pest damage, and no mechanical damage. The condition of such a tree is assessed as good,” noted Elena Gavrilenko, dendrologist, chief expert on urban ecosystems of the State Budgetary Institution “MosEcoMonitoring” of the Department of Nature Management of Moscow.

    Long-term observations show that the capital’s green spaces are stable and adapt well to the city’s growing conditions. Linden, Norway maple and birch are often used for city greening.

    Meanwhile, the presence of some shortcomings in trees is allowed. “The foliage is lighter than usual, the crown is weakly open, the presence of individual dry branches nevertheless allow the tree to continue to grow and develop. In this case, the condition of the plant is assessed as satisfactory,” Elena Gavrilenko specified.

    Experts monitor the condition of green spaces in Moscow every year. Trees are examined at 130 permanent observation sites, including in the territory of TiNAO. They are located in different types of green areas with different anthropogenic loads, which allows for a general description to be obtained through selective surveys.

    Based on the information received, recommendations are given to tenants or owners of green fund territories on timely implementation of protective and security measures. In particular, to improve the health of trees, sanitary pruning of the crown, removal of damaged branches, strengthening of trunks and treatment against insects are required.

    “The city strives for harmonious development, therefore educational facilities are being built next to new residential buildings. Thus, last year a school for 1.2 thousand students appeared in the Shcherbinka district. The total area of the building was 18.2 thousand square meters. It was equipped with universal and specialized classrooms, laboratory and research complexes, robot classes, sports and assembly halls. A stadium with a mini-football field, universal courts for basketball and volleyball, and a long jump area was built on the adjacent territory,” said the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Moscow Department of Urban Development Policy

    Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin said that since 2011, 1,118 social infrastructure facilities have been built in Moscow, including 648 schools and kindergartens.

    The construction of social facilities in the capital corresponds to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.

    Street lighting and architectural and artistic illumination in the capital have been switched to summer mode, reported the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “The daylight hours are increasing, so we have made the necessary changes to the schedule of the city’s outdoor lighting. Street lighting and architectural and artistic lighting of buildings have been switched to summer mode – now they are turned on later and turned off earlier,” said Pyotr Biryukov.

    The specialists of the network control center of JSC United Energy Company are guided by the level of natural light and the established schedule. Sensors record the light flux in real time and, when a certain threshold is reached, send a corresponding signal. At the same time, in some cases, for example in cloudy weather, dispatchers can adjust the schedule, turning on the lighting earlier.

    Architectural and artistic lighting is turned on simultaneously with outdoor lighting, but is turned off gradually: at 23:00 – on residential buildings, at 00:00 – on administrative buildings, at 01:00 – at the entrances to the metro, and at 03:00 – on bridges in the center of the capital.

    Petr Biryukov emphasized that over the past 13 years, the level of illumination in Moscow has doubled, and the number of buildings with illumination has quadrupled. There are more than a million lamps in operation in the city, and thanks to the use of energy-saving technologies, electricity consumption is reduced.

    On March 13, the hackathon of the Automobile and Road Faculty “Transport and Logistics” was held at SPbGASU. Students of St. Petersburg School No. 625 with advanced study of mathematics named after Hero of the Russian Federation V. E. Dudkin took part in it. Together with the ADF, the admissions committee of our university organized the hackathon.

    “This is a career guidance event. We wanted to show the kids what professions there are and what problems ordinary representatives of these professions solve. We also wanted to show that physics and mathematics are not just abstract subjects. An engineer needs to know them in order to apply them in his work to solve typical problems,” explained ADF Dean Andrey Zazykin.

    The hackathon participants united into four project teams, each of which received its own technical task. Having familiarized themselves with the workplace, materials and equipment, having undergone safety training, the guys, under the guidance of mentors – teachers and students of the Automobile and Road Engineering Faculty, began generating ideas and creating prototypes.

    One of the teams created a prototype of an AGV cart. This is an unmanned transport platform that provides automated transportation of goods around the warehouse. The guys assembled a cart platform for moving goods, created, tested and calibrated a program in the Trik Studio software, and showed the robot in action. The work was supervised by fourth-year undergraduate students of the ADF Daniil Parfeni and Mark Druzhinin.

    Another team, led by the head of the department of technical operation of vehicles Igor Chernyaev, developed a planning solution for a fleet of electric buses. To do this, they needed the ability to analyze and 3D modeling skills. The guys got the initial data for the calculations from textbooks, tables, and characteristics of electric buses.

    Another team’s task was to implement the Digital Twin technology on the streets of St. Petersburg. The schoolchildren created a digital twin of a road – a high-precision digital map of the route, which collects data on the condition of the road and traffic on it in real time. The guys worked in domestic software under the guidance of Yana Goncharova, an assistant at the Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction, and Elena Sorokina, a senior lecturer at this department.

    A team of schoolchildren determines effective methods for interaction between earthmoving and transport machines and the working environment

    The fourth team identified effective methods of interaction between earthmoving and transport machines and the working environment. To do this, they conducted a series of experiments with changing the angle of the bucket under the guidance of senior lecturer of the Department of Ground Transport and Technological Machines Igor Vorozheikin.

    Young researchers prepared presentations of their projects and spoke to members of the expert jury, which, together with Andrey Zazykin, included the head of the department of land-transport technological machines Elena Kurakina and associate professor of the department of transport systems and road and bridge construction Egor Golov. The jury assessed how well the pre-project analysis was carried out, the rationale for the chosen solution, the achievement of the set goals (teamwork, obtaining a result in accordance with the project goals), the logical structure, the clarity and design of the presentation, the team’s performance, and the completeness of the topic. All four teams received diplomas and gifts.

    We asked guests to share their impressions of the hackathon and the university.

    Elena Popova, Deputy Director of School No. 625 for Educational and Training Work, noted: “The children’s interest in this practice-oriented event is very high. They gain new knowledge, make something with their own hands, and then systematize and present the results of their work.”

    “The event was very interesting, and the tasks were not easy. The mentor helped us, explained, gave ideas. And the team tried, everyone wanted to win. It was an interesting experience,” said tenth-grader Arseniy Bryukhov.

    “I like the university: this is not my first time here, it’s like coming home. The people here are friendly, they will always tell you, give you advice, explain. It’s cozy, warm, homey,” shared 11th grade student Ekaterina Nikiforova.

    Andrey Zazykin reported on plans to create a specialized class at school No. 625. Currently, the only motor transport class in our city is being implemented by SPbGASU at school No. 334. Its students receive knowledge in robotics, information technology, car repair, organization of passenger and freight transportation, and ensuring road safety.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Representatives of the City Department of Real Estate Inventory and Valuation told students about the specifics of their activities and support for young professionals

    The career guidance meeting of representatives of the State Budgetary Institution “City Department of Real Estate Inventory and Valuation” with students of the Department of Geodesy, Land Management and Cadastre of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering became a kind of brief introduction to professional activities.

    An employer with a proven track record

    Deputy Director of the State Budgetary Institution “City Department of Real Estate Inventory and Valuation” Evgeniya Mikhailova emphasized the purpose of her visit – to talk about the wide range of activities, the specifics of the organization, and career opportunities. It was noted that graduates of our university successfully work here, and the organization intends to continue employing them.

    Evgeniya Mikhailova recalled that the St. Petersburg State Unitary Enterprise “City Administration of Real Estate Inventory and Valuation” (GUP “GUION”) has been counting its modern history since November 28, 2005, when the decree of the Government of St. Petersburg “On improving the system of technical accounting and technical inventory of real estate objects in St. Petersburg” was signed. But the traditions of the enterprise have much deeper roots: on May 21, 1927, the Economic Conference of the RSFSR adopted the resolution “On approval of the Regulation on the inventory of property of local Councils”. It predetermined the creation of special technical inventory bureaus (BTI) in the system of municipal bodies of the RSFSR.

    “Over the course of its long history, the company has undergone a series of transformations, successfully passed all stages of transformation taking into account modern realities and today specializes in four areas, providing a range of services necessary for real estate management, legal entities and individuals, government agencies. The main areas of our activity are cadastral works and technical inventory, valuation of movable and immovable property, land management works, design, consulting. In addition, we carry out work within the framework of the “Ruble per meter” program. It was developed by the Property Relations Committee of St. Petersburg jointly with the Committee for State Control, Use and Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments and is aimed at attracting investors to restore and involve in circulation unused cultural heritage sites in an unsatisfactory condition,” said Evgeniya Mikhailova.

    Land management with its own specifics

    Evgenia Mikhailova and Yuri Nikitin

    Yuri Nikitin, Head of the Data Collection and Processing Department of the Land Management Department – Methodology and Practical Inventory of Land Plots of the State Unitary Enterprise “GUION”, spoke about the specifics of his area.

    “One of the important aspects of our department’s work is determining the functional characteristics of the sites: the type of economic activity, other characteristics, on the basis of which the amount of rent is determined. Our department employs surveyors and cadastral engineers. St. Petersburg is the only city in our country that has its own unique structure for registering with the state cadastral register, which requires extensive preliminary work. And this imposes additional obligations on specialists, including constant monitoring of legislation, knowledge of the necessary software and the specifics of transferring big data. Among our clients are large enterprises and city facilities. Individuals who are poorly versed in changes in legislation and sometimes simply do not understand what kind of specialist they need also contact us. We have the ability to comprehensively resolve their issues,” said Yuri Nikitin.

    Associate Professor of the Department of Geodesy, Land Management and Cadastre of SPbGASU Vyacheslav Sokolov drew students’ attention to the specifics of engineering cadastral works in St. Petersburg.

    “This specificity of the activity must be studied, especially by those who intend to work in St. Petersburg. This is an important question in the profession. That is why last year the examination committee asked it to a student when defending his final qualification work,” Vyacheslav Sokolov emphasized.

    Bonuses for young professionals

    Evgeniya Mikhailova explained in detail the internal regulations of the GUION, the employee incentive system, the possibility of transferring to departments with similar profiles, the conditions for salary increases and career growth, and receiving bonuses. She emphasized the organization’s interest in young specialists.

    “We have developed adaptation periods for young specialists. Over a certain period of time, they are introduced to their positions by experienced employees, and the organization pays them a monthly bonus of five thousand rubles for two years. In addition, they, like all employees, receive quarterly and annual bonuses. We provide specialists with a bachelor’s degree with paid study leave in the master’s program and support their desire to develop professionally,” noted Evgeniya Mikhailova.

    Third-year student Anna Pyatova reported that as a future specialist, she was interested in hearing in detail about the different departments of the State University of the Social Sciences.

    “The organization offers interesting work in our core areas, good prospects for career growth, a solid archive of information for work. In the future, I want to clarify some details of the work and, perhaps, I will take a closer look at it as a future employer,” said Anna Pyatova.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Rosneft Improves Accuracy of Oil Production Forecasts

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Rosneft – Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Specialists from the Rosneft Research Institute in Ufa have improved the search for promising zones of oil source rocks in Western Siberia. The new approach allows identifying the most priority areas for drilling in the complex geological conditions typical of the Bazhenov Formation*.

    The specialists analyzed an extended set of geological and petrophysical parameters and well test results at 20 RN-Yuganskneftegaz fields (the Company’s key production asset). The use of the new method allowed them to calculate the actual oil flow rate with a probability of over 75%. Previously known methods did not allow for such a high-precision forecast.

    Based on the improved methodology, a prospect map was constructed using the corporate software package “RN-GEOSIM”. This allowed us to evaluate the best zones of the Bazhenov formation in terms of oil production. The methodology has already been confirmed by tests. In an area previously considered unpromising, an oil flow rate of more than 20 tons/day was obtained from a directional well.

    *The Bazhenov Formation is an oil source rock distributed throughout the entire territory of Western Siberia with an area of approximately 1 million square meters and significant oil resources.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Fashion as a part of culture. Experts on the IV Moscow Fashion Week

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The IV Moscow Fashion Week is ending in the Central Exhibition Hall “Manezh”, which brought together Russian and foreign designers, students of specialized universities and other representatives of the industry. During the event, a professional showroom was opened, a market of Russian designers was held, and fashion shows took place.

    This is an important event not only in the fashion industry, but also in the cultural life of the city: the week also included the World Fashion Shorts short film festival and an extensive educational program.

    Member of the Moscow Fashion Week expert council, president of the Russian Association of Fashion Industry Participants Tatyana Belkevich noted that this time the designers approached participation with a greater understanding of the expert group’s requirements. This was facilitated by the holding of thematic lectures and the experience of past fashion weeks, where the current participants gained a lot of useful knowledge and understood how to properly present their brands on the catwalk.

    “Now we can safely say that we have an industry not just of clothing and fashion production, which is tuned to the end consumer, but also a design industry. This is very clearly visible and can be seen in many collections. Those brands that were just starting out last fashion week have shown themselves very well this season. Experience is growing enormously. The demand for Russian brands is also growing. According to research, in 2024, 73 percent of consumers chose Russian brands with both their hearts and wallets,” said Tatyana Belkevich.

    One of the participants of the opening of the IV Moscow Fashion Week was the brand of designer Igor Andreev. In the new collection, he focused on the modern Russian style, demonstrating a commitment to the folk, original and local. The public was presented with many knitted whole products or elements built into images. The podium itself was decorated with structures in the form of Russian window frames.

    “Young designers are very actively exploiting the Russian cultural code in their works,” added Tatyana Belkevich. “This is wonderful, because it is really in our blood and it should be used. Famous designers, of course, also use ethnicity, some elements of the cultural code in their collections, but very carefully, very precisely, not like the youth, who have not yet taken flight and really want to make accents.”

    Every year, lectures popularizing the Russian fashion industry and talking about the interaction of domestic designers, artists, models and industry specialists with great fashion houses are held as part of the fashion week. According to the curator of the Moscow Fashion Week lecture hall, fashion expert Anna Rykova, the lectures are designed for a wide range of listeners with the aim of popularizing the topic of fashion. Experts talk about the industry as a whole – as a large cultural layer not only in Russia, but also in the world, about how fashion influences people’s tastes and preferences, how it shapes business, reflects cultural, political and economic events, and reacts to various changes. The program includes lectures on the mark that domestic designers and artists have left on world fashion, national costumes and crafts.

    “I think that Moscow has probably acquired its own stylistic face recently. Moscow remains less a city associated with strong luxury and more with individuality. It is generally accepted that we have a capital and a cultural capital, St. Petersburg. I think that any capital is cultural and directly connected with fashion. Fashion is connected with culture, culture is connected with fashion – these are two components that are absolutely impossible to separate at the moment. Therefore, culture is fashionable,” says Anna Rykova.

    More than 180 brands (including over 100 from the capital) from 27 regions of Russia, including Moscow, Ivanovo, Leningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Tambov and Tyumen regions, Krasnodar and Primorsky Krai, the republics of Buryatia, Dagestan, Komi, Sakha (Yakutia) and Tatarstan, are taking part in Moscow Fashion Week. Designers from China, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey, India and other countries are also presenting their collections to a wide audience.
