    The Polytechnic University and the university’s industrial partner, JSC Rekond Plant, opened a joint laboratory at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications of SPbPU to study promising elements of the electronic component base (ECB) — capacitors and resistors — and to train highly qualified specialists in areas related to the plant’s activities.

    The Rekond plant provided the institute with modern, expensive equipment for free use: two units for measuring the electrophysical parameters of passive electronic components for capacitors and resistors.

    The laboratory was created within the framework of implementation of the roadmap of the strategic partnership between the university and the company based on the scientific laboratory “Passive Electronics (REKOND-Polytech)”, which has been operating since December 2024.

    “Today, students are interested in high-tech science-intensive production, and it is very pleasant that serious enterprises are ready to participate in the training of future personnel, a new generation of engineers,” said Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies at SPbPU, at the opening of the laboratory. “Thank you for fulfilling an important mentoring function for our youth by coming to our site and allowing them to work on such equipment.”

    Andrey Burlakov, assistant to the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Northwestern Federal District, who was present at the opening, congratulated the representatives of the university and the plant on the beginning of a new stage of productive interaction and wished to develop cooperation.

    “We have been working closely with the university for a long time, we have established a dialogue, work that is aimed at creating new products within the framework of import substitution. The tasks and challenges that time throws at us show that we cannot exist separately, only together can we achieve good results, – is confident General Director of JSC “Rekond Plant” Yulia Novoselskaya. – We have a huge production base, accumulated experience, but without a scientific approach there will be no intensive development. We need new technologies and materials, and without qualified personnel that your university trains, we cannot move forward. Many students come for practical training, many stay to work. The guys have developed an interest in the industry, in the products that we produce, in the materials from which they are made. Of course, there is some lag behind foreign analogues. But with joint efforts we are reducing it. I invite all students to production, it will be interesting and useful for everyone.”

    Director of the Institute of Economics and Technology Alexander Korotkov noted that the opening of the laboratory took place in the anniversary year of the Polytechnic University and on the eve of the 126th anniversary of the university.

    “The basis of cooperation with the Rekond plant goes back to the times of the USSR, when it was still Positron, and our department of physics, dielectrics and polymers was fully oriented to the needs of the plant’s research activities,” recalled Alexander Stanislavovich. “And today, from our cooperation, we have received a synergistic effect, which allows us to train specialists for the Rekond plant at a new level.”

    “The university should go hand in hand with the industry, only in this case we can set ambitious goals and achieve them,” says Nadezhda Grashchenko, head of the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs. “Educational programs should meet the needs of partners, quickly respond to questions that are raised here and now, but at the same time calculate tasks three or four steps ahead. If we do not set this vector, we will not know where to move. And when new laboratories open, students have access to industrial equipment, such steps are much easier to take.”

    Representatives of other structural divisions of the university also dropped in on the opening. Acting Director of the Higher Engineering Physics School Roman Burkovsky noted that if 30 percent of Polytechnic University classrooms look like the new laboratory, more motivated students will come to the university.

    TGK-1 and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have entered into an agreement to provide services for the purpose of improving educational programs for students and programs for special training of power plant workers, as well as for the professional orientation of power engineering students for work in the TGK-1 group of companies.

    Under the agreement, Polytech will integrate cases from the actual operation of TGK-1 power plants into the educational process, offer options for using digital twins of thermal power plants developed by the university for TGK-1 in the educational process, and conduct a sociological study among students. Polytech will use the income from the provision of services to equip a special high-tech classroom designed to train future power engineers.

    We are extremely interested in the Polytechnic University’s competencies in training highly qualified power engineers, the opportunity, starting from the first years, to interact with students – potential employees of TGK-1, as well as competencies in the field of innovation. For our part, we contribute to the improvement of the material and educational base of the university, which improves the quality of training specialists. Such a mechanism of mutually beneficial cooperation can be used for other universities that are our support, – emphasized Eduard Lisitsky, Deputy Managing Director for Development and Property Management of PJSC TGK-1.

    Cooperation with TGK-1 is a strategically important step for the Institute of Power Engineering and the entire Polytechnic University. As an engineering university, we strive to bring the student’s experience as close as possible to solving real industry problems. And the implementation of cases and the use of digital twins are the necessary tools to achieve this goal. It is especially valuable that such a partnership will be able to give talented students the opportunity to meet and get a job at a leading energy company as part of career guidance and close interaction with professionals. We are grateful to TGK-1 for their support and joint development of the educational and scientific material and technical base. I am sure that this project will become a successful example of mutually beneficial cooperation, – noted Viktor Barskov, Director of the Institute of Power Engineering.

    PJSC TGK-1 (part of the Gazprom Energoholding Group) is a leading producer and supplier of electric and thermal energy in the North-West region of Russia. TGK-1 unites 52 power plants in four regions of Russia — St. Petersburg, Karelia, Leningrad and Murmansk regions.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic University hosted a Digital Hackathon

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    The Polytechnic University hosted the first Digital Hackathon, a joint forum for developers in the field of industrial AI, organized by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Norilsk Nickel’s leading production complex in the Murmansk region, Kola MMC.

    The hackathon participants searched for dependencies in an anonymous dataset of hydrometallurgical production using both classical machine learning methods and neural networks. The main result of each team’s work was a reasonably chosen method that has the potential for implementation and use in the company.

    The expert jury from SPbPU included teachers of the Higher School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management: Professor Vyacheslav Shkodyrev, Professor Galina Malykhina, Associate Professor Vladimir Khokhlovsky, Senior Lecturer Vitaly Oleynikov. Kola MMC was represented by experts in Data Science and industrial AI: Evgeny Batz, Alexey Kozlov, Ivan Dublensky, Yaroslav Kraynyuchenko. The event was organized by 1st year Master’s student of IMMiT Konstantin Mashyanov.

    My journey at Kola MMC began back in 2022 with an industrial internship at the Profstart enterprise. After that, I dreamed of uniting my beloved employer and my alma mater to create a synergy of science and business that can provide incredible potential for all parties, which we were able to see at the hackathon. Young specialists demonstrated new effective approaches in industrial AI, wise mentors from the university updated the current requests of the business customer and shared their scientific expertise, and respected experts from the industrial partner gave honest, practice- and business-oriented feedback. I believe that through our joint efforts we did not just make a hackathon, but laid the foundation for a platform of the future, capable of generating the maximum effect for three parties with one event: university – student – business, – shared his impressions Konstantin Mashyanov.

    Five teams made it to the final defense. The hackathon can be considered international, as students from seven different countries worked on solving the problems.

    The experts highly appreciated the level of preparation. The hackathon became a real professional test of the competencies of young developers, as well as an initiation into the exciting world of business. In just 10 minutes of defense, the participants had to not only demonstrate the depth of technical development, but also “sell” their solution to a real business, proving its viability and economic effect.

    A hackathon is not just solving a task and defending it, it is a real challenge of adult life, when there is no single correct linear solution to a problem, and the result of teamwork must be presented in an interesting, academically correct, scientifically developed and practice-oriented way. I believe that the teams managed to achieve exactly this result. Also today we are on the threshold when we need to cultivate competent developers capable of implementing domestic solutions that will provide an economic effect and high quality of work at real domestic enterprises to ensure Russia’s technological leadership, – shared SPbPU professor Vyacheslav Shkodyrev.

    After the defense, the experts gave feedback to the participants, talked about which industrial AI models are used in real production, and also said parting words.

    Of course, in real development, it is important to apply various approaches and methods for a more accurate result, focused on the target function of the algorithm. There are no ideal models, any model is an abstraction, so it is important to lower a theoretically working method to a practical task. And in order to really progress, it is necessary to “cook” in the community of professionals, for example, attend events of specialized communities, which are becoming more and more every year, as well as solve problems in the chosen field on specialized sites and participate in competitions, – added AI expert of Kola MMC Alexey Kozlov.

    First place — team «NorAI». The guys demonstrated, along with classical methods of machine learning, a neural network solution that has sufficient values of MAE, R2 Score, MSE metrics for implementation in industry. Team members: Tatevik Virabyan, Anna Bakalova, Shilpa, Yaroslav Votintsev (team captain), Mengran Li, masters of the Institute of Computer Science and Engineering. Second place — «mixAI». Team members: Paul Jean-Zouai (team captain), Oko Charles Chukwuebuka, Azmat Ullah, Luo Weizi, masters of the Institute of Computer Science and Engineering. Third place — «Fun and Nuts». Team members: Daniil Simonovsky, Maxim Pisarik (team captain), Evgeny Rubtsov.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU scientist talks about the current epidemic season

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    According to official data from Rospotrebnadzor, there is a slight increase in the incidence of respiratory viral infections in the Novosibirsk Region. At present, the incidence of acute respiratory viral infections is caused mainly by viruses of non-influenza etiology, with rhinoviruses predominating, which are usually not characterized by an acute course and serious complications, whereas last year the current coronavirus and respiratory syncytial virus, which is most dangerous for children under one year of age and the elderly, prevailed. This virus causes diseases of the lower respiratory tract and can cause serious complications, including pneumonia.

    Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Head of the Laboratory of Bionanotechnology, Microbiology and Virology spoke about other features of the current epidemic season Faculty of Natural Sciences of NSU Sergey Netesov.

    — Compared to the same period last year, the incidence of influenza has surprisingly decreased significantly, at least until mid-February. If you look at the curves of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections in 2024 and 2025, it seems that the peak of influenza is several weeks late this year. The reasons for this are still unknown. There are different versions, including an abnormally warm winter. Another reason could be the increase in the number of people vaccinated against influenza in 2024 compared to 2023. The influenza vaccines used in the summer and fall of last year proved to be highly effective, as a result of which the incidence fell, but in the last two weeks it has been growing.

    In addition, in the current epidemiological season, the strains of influenza A viruses of the H3N2 subtype, which prevailed last season, have been replaced by strains of the H1N1 subtype. This is most likely due to the emergence of strong population immunity against viruses of the H3N2 subtype, which many people were vaccinated with and many had mild cases of last season. But the current epidemic season is not over yet (its maximum is usually recorded in February), so there is no need to relax until mid-March, and an increase in the incidence of influenza viruses has clearly emerged in the last two weeks, according to information from the website of the Research Institute of Influenza in St. Petersburg. Few people are currently sick with influenza B viruses, and they usually do not get seriously ill with them, and it does not cause serious complications in more or less healthy people. But older people should be careful for another month, wear masks in public places and avoid contact with young sick people and sick children.

    To protect yourself in the next 2025/26 ARVI season, everyone should get vaccinated against influenza in September-October 2025, because by that time new seasonal vaccines, updated according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), will be available.

    February 18, 2025

    End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF’s Executive Board for discussion and decision.

    • The Maldives’ economy is expected to grow by 5 percent in 2025, driven by robust tourism activity. Nevertheless, macroeconomic imbalances have continued to widen and risks are tilted to the downside.
    • The immediate policy priority is to restore sustainable public finance and debt. Broad-based fiscal reforms and a comprehensive debt strategy, alongside well-calibrated monetary and macro-financial policies, are urgently needed.
    • Reforms to strengthen climate resilience, improve the business climate and governance, and enhance skill developments will support stronger external competitiveness and strong, sustainable, and inclusive growth.

    Washington, DC: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Ms. Piyaporn Sodsriwiboon, visited Malé during February 3 – 16, 2025, to discuss recent economic developments, the outlook, and the country’s policy priorities in the context of the 2025 Article IV consultation.

    At the end of the mission, Ms. Sodsriwiboon issued the following statement:

    “Thanks to the Maldives’ strong tourism base, growth has held up well. Real GDP growth is projected at 5 percent in 2025, and the opening of airport terminal expansion would ease supply-side bottleneck for tourism and help sustain growth momentum over the medium term. Inflation is expected to rise to 2.3 percent in 2025, partially due to higher import duties. There is large uncertainty around the forecasts and risks are tilted to the downside.

    “External vulnerabilities remain, amid a persistently large current account deficit and pressures on foreign exchange reserves. The overall fiscal deficits and public debt are projected to stay elevated, calling for urgent policy adjustment. Over the medium term, the Maldives is highly vulnerable to climate change risks, due to sea level risk, floods and the degradation of its natural capital.

    “The Maldives is navigating a pivotal moment to urgently restoring macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability. The Government of Maldives has assumed its homegrown fiscal reform agenda, importantly with the discontinuation of exceptional use of Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) advances and the passage of Fiscal Responsibility Act and Public Debt Management Act. Swift implementation of expenditure reform measures as outlined in the 2025 Budget would be key to reduce imbalances in an orderly manner and restore economic stability.

    “In addition to the revenue mobilization measures enacted by the government, there is the need for more urgent and stronger fiscal consolidation. Holistic expenditure rationalization is necessary to restrain excessive spending, while improving spending efficiency and protecting priority social spending. Subsidy reforms, which phase out untargeted subsidies and roll out well-targeted direct income transfers to vulnerable households, should be introduced as envisaged in the 2025 Budget. The reprioritization and rationalization of public sector investment program (PSIP) is critically necessary to address immediate fiscal challenges. Building on recent progress, the reforms of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and Aasandha-healthcare reforms should be continued. Strengthening the public financial framework is critical to enhance fiscal policy credibility and effectiveness. A comprehensive debt strategy would also help restore debt sustainability and improve debt management.

    “A coordinated tightening of the policy mix would effectively help address macroeconomic vulnerabilities. The MMA’s commitment to resume active monetary operations is a welcome step in this regard. Should inflationary or external pressures intensify, the MMA should stand ready to further tighten monetary policy. Heightened systemic risks from bank-sovereign nexus call for tighter macroprudential policies and vigilant financial sector oversight. Prudent foreign exchange reserve management, alongside the necessary macroeconomic adjustments that include substantial and immediate fiscal adjustments as well as stricter monetary and macroprudential policies to address economic imbalances effectively, would help safeguard the exchange rate peg.

    “Given the Maldives’ threats to climate change, integrating climate sensitivity into public financial and investment management processes is essential for tackling climate-related challenges and mobilizing additional climate finance. Structural reforms aimed at improving the business environment and governance, expanding trade and investment, and enhancing skill development remain crucial for sustaining robust and inclusive growth.

    “The IMF team would like to thank the Maldivian authorities for their hospitality and constructive discussions. Meetings were held with Finance Minister M. Zameer, Governor A. Munawar, and other senior officials, as well as representatives from the private sector and development partners.”

    Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in a strategic session on the development of education

    Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov, Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Head of Rosmolodezh Grigory Gurov and Head of Rosobrnadzor Anzor Muzaev took part in the strategic session chaired by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

    The event summed up a series of strategy sessions under his leadership – on personnel, engineering education and the quality of education in general. It discussed issues of developing the Strategy for the Development of Education until 2036 with a perspective until 2040.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that the strategy is being prepared on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin. This is work of unprecedented scale in the modern history of Russia. It involves the widest range of participants – teachers, scientists, public figures, representatives of various ministries and departments, students and their parents. All entities are also involved – a meeting with regional education ministers has already been held, and regional and district sessions have taken place.

    “Here, in the Coordination Center, we receive feedback from various sources. We have already collected more than 338 thousand opinions from citizens, including more than 45 thousand proposals through the public services portal. Thus, the strategy is being prepared by the entire country. 14 working groups are developing proposals and analyzing materials – this is more than a thousand experts,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

    The process is coordinated by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science. An active discussion of the strategy took place during the government hour at the State Duma. Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin and the deputies for the productive dialogue and the decisions that are being followed up by legislation.

    Answering the question of why the strategy is needed, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that a huge number of different participants are involved in the education system. The strategy will consolidate uniform principles and approaches to the educational process and will become its main guideline.

    In addition, it is necessary to create a sovereign education system that will unite society, reveal the potential of each person and ensure Russia’s leadership in technological, cultural and social development.

    “The key mission is to train and educate professionals, patriots of Russia, who preserve traditions and shape the future. This meets the national goals set by the President. It is important that we do not propose revolutionary changes in the education system, but only an evolutionary approach, when we take the best that we have accumulated since Soviet times. The strategy will be based on the best traditions and practices of the scientific and pedagogical national school, as well as the main achievements of the past decades,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

    Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov noted that at the strategy session, the Chairman of the Government was presented with the first approaches to the Strategy for the Development of Education for the period up to 2036 with a perspective up to 2040.

    “This event is important for the entire country. We have received approval, and instructions have already been given for its further implementation. At the meeting, all issues facing the education system were considered in detail. This includes increasing teachers’ salaries, reducing the bureaucratic burden, unified educational programs, and improving the quality of natural science education. We also discussed the results that have already been achieved. Based on them, we must move forward, taking into account the challenges facing the education system and the country. I would like to emphasize that it is important to act evolutionarily, to be guided by the principle of “do no harm,” “the Minister of Education said.

    He drew attention to the fact that the student and teacher are at the center of the strategy. The Minister of Education added that it is very important not to lower the quality of education and to rely on effective solutions in the field of education. The head of the department recalled that all indicators of the national project “Education” have been achieved. More than 1,600 schools, 1,688 kindergartens have been built, almost 5 thousand schools have been overhauled. By 2030, the task is to bring all schools in the country to a standard condition.

    Speaking about how higher education will change within the framework of the Education Development Strategy, the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov noted that the changes will be comprehensive and will affect all areas of activity of Russian universities. At the center of this major work is the transition to a new model of higher education, which is based on three key principles: fundamentality, practice-orientedness and flexibility. They will be reflected in new educational standards and the mechanism for their rapid update, and a new list of relevant specialties will also be formed.

    The head of the Ministry of Education and Science emphasized that the task of the entire higher education system is to prepare professionals with a broad outlook, creative, critical thinkers, who love the Motherland and are ready to work for its benefit.

    “Working on the Education Development Strategy together with colleagues, we propose a set of measures that will strengthen intergenerational dialogue between children and adults, make opportunities more accessible for every young person in our country, and create high-quality content based on our traditional spiritual and moral values. All these measures are aimed at creating a single educational space at all stages of growing up and becoming a young person,” said Grigory Gurov, head of Rosmolodezh.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Young heroes learn to save: VSKS held a master class for children of SVO veterans at the State Institution of Humanities

    On February 18, 2025, in the Moscow city branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps, located on the territory of the State University of Management, as part of the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day, a master class was held for children of veterans of the special military operation.

    This initiative is an important element of social support for the families of military personnel participating in the Special Military Operations, and has received the support of the Moscow City Branch of the United Russia Party.

    The master class was attended by the Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Pavel Pavlovsky and the Moscow City Duma deputy, head of the Moscow City Branch of the VSKS Maxim Dzhetygenov.

    “Today we pay tribute to the defenders of our Fatherland. To the soldiers who laid down their lives for the Motherland and its people, to the living participants in military conflicts and the heroes fighting today! Today, the children of our heroes will interactively learn how to use primary fire extinguishing equipment, try to work with emergency rescue tools, provide first aid and, as part of a team, try to save a conditional “teddy bear” from a labyrinth. We will introduce the children to safety culture and rescue skills in more detail. We are grateful to the State University of Management and the Moscow City Branch of the United Russia Party for their assistance in holding the event,” Maxim Dzhetygenov, head of the Moscow City Branch of VSKS, opened the event.

    “From the very beginning of the SVO, the rector of the GUU Vladimir Stroyev sets one key task for the university: “Everything for the front, everything for Victory.” And active assistance to our soldiers is one of the key areas of our work. We implement retraining programs for soldiers who were seriously wounded at the front, we support universities in historical territories, we implement the “University Shifts” project, within the framework of which children from the DPR, LPR and the Kherson region come to us at the GUU for the holidays. And this is in addition to participating in the project initiated by the guys from the VSKS, which is called “GUU – SVOim” and is aimed at providing frontline units and civilians in the border area with the necessary products and technical equipment. Our partners for two years now have been the All-Russian public movement “Veterans of Russia”, so organizing an event for children of SVO participants is a logical continuation of activities in the chosen direction. We want the soldiers defending the Motherland at the front to clearly know that there is someone in the rear who will take care of their families and their children, because children are our wealth!” said Pavel Pavlovsky, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management.

    A total of 30 children of SVO veterans took part in the master class, who happily donned real firefighter clothes and fought against simulated fires, learned how to use various primary fire extinguishing equipment, tried to play Jenga using rescue tools, and in the end, as a united team, rescued a simulated victim from an inflatable labyrinth and provided him with first aid.

    The State University of Management is proud of its fighters of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps, who never stand aside and help the residents of the Kursk region to endure temporary hardships, eliminate the consequences of inhuman terrorist attacks, clean the Black Sea coast from oil products and are always ready to share their experience and skills.

    On the Day of Russian Student Teams on February 17, student teams of SPbGASU held an event to attract new candidates to their ranks. The guys talked about team life, handed out leaflets, sang and even boxed.

    Students were offered to test their knowledge of the history of the university and the detachment movement in a quiz format. Prizes were raffled off among the participants.

    “We need new, energized people to grow and develop,” explained Georgy Galayev, commander of the Hermes student agricultural team and a third-year student in the Faculty of Engineering Ecology and Urban Economy. This is Georgy’s first year in the team, but he already holds a responsible position. Georgy said that before this he worked in the Kusto team, but realized that he still needed the sun and vitamin D.

    Sofia Sidorova (commissioner) and Daria Gorbunova (commander) of the SPO “Svoboda”

    You can also get a lot of sun and vitamin D by joining the pedagogical team “Freedom”. “We go only to places where there is a sea. This is our rule,” said team leader Darya Gorbunova, a second-year student at the Faculty of Engineering Ecology and Urban Economy. “Every summer, the team works two shifts. And before work, they rest – to gain strength, get a good tan and start teaching children happy and full of energy.”

    Vadim Fedotov, a fifth-year student at the Automobile and Road Engineering Department, represented the Kusto team. Kusto spends its working seasons mostly in the North. Vadim was invited to join the movement in his second year. Deciding that student teams were similar to school practice, Vadim initially refused. But in his third year, he decided to give it a try. He liked it and stayed.

    Sergey Voronin, a fourth-year undergraduate student at the Faculty of Architecture, a fighter, and former commissar of the Lin student archaeological squad, shared his story: “For three years I have been spinning in a whirlpool of youth and fun – in squads! I have gone from a candidate to a fighter and leader of cultural and mass activities, a commissar. In the summer, I always had a backpack on my back, and ahead were endless natural spaces that leave memories for a lifetime. The rest of the year, there are many cool university, city, and all-Russian events of various types: entertaining, educational, creative, and sincere. And the list of informal friendly meetings is endless, with an incredible story for each one! Spontaneity, energy, and adventurism accompany us on adventures every time. The only thing missing is you!”

    Maxim Rybachuk, a leading specialist at the Center for Strategic and Innovative Research at the Research Institute of Public Policy and Management of Industrial Economics at the State University of Management, has become a laureate of the Moscow Government Prize for Young Scientists for 2024.

    The Moscow Government Prize Competition for Young Scientists has been held since 2013. Awards are given annually for achieving outstanding results in fundamental and applied scientific research in the field of natural, technical and humanitarian sciences, as well as for the development and implementation of new technologies, equipment, devices, equipment, materials and substances that contribute to improving the efficiency of activities in the real sector of the economy and the social sphere of the capital.

    In total, over 8,000 applications were submitted for the awards during the competition, 1,332 of which were submitted this year. Awards were given to 758 young scientists, 78 of which were submitted this year.

    The award was presented to the laureates by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

    “We have never had so many competition applications – more than 1,300 works were submitted. And choosing you was not an easy task for us either. So these are truly well-deserved awards that you have earned with your talent, skill, and commitment to science. And of course, I hope that these awards are not the last in your life, but only the beginning of your great scientific career,” Sergei Semenovich addressed the young scientists.

    The mayor also announced a decision to double the bonus, which has not been indexed since 2019. The 2024 bonuses are also planned to be recalculated taking into account the increase. At the moment, it is 2 million rubles.

    A young scientist from the State University of Management, Maxim Rybachuk, received the award in the Social Sciences category for a series of nine previously published works on the topic of “Socioeconomic Ecosystems as a Core Component of the Systemic Transformation of the Russian Economy”. In his research, Maxim Aleksandrovich analyzed the landscape of the Russian ecosystem market, defined the criteria for ecosystems, key market players and their industry specifics. He assessed the impact of the development of the ecosystem structure of the economy on Russia’s GDP and put forward a number of recommendations in the field of economic policy to protect market participants from the unconstructive influence of ecosystems. In particular, it was proposed to create a national regulator that would combine functions similar to those of the FAS Russia and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in relation to the activities of ecosystems, because ecosystems are not subject to antimonopoly legislation.

    We congratulate Maxim Rybachuk on receiving the prestigious award and wish him further success in his scientific work for the benefit of the Russian economy.

    Tatyana Golikova presented the new national project “Personnel” to the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans’ Affairs

    Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and representatives of the federal executive authorities presented the new national project “Personnel” to the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans’ Affairs. Tatyana Golikova and Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov spoke about the prerequisites for the formation, main goals and directions of the national project. Representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and the Social Fund of Russia also took part in the presentation.

    As Tatyana Golikova noted, in his Address to the Federal Assembly in February last year, the President named Russia’s entry into the world’s four largest economies by 2030 as one of the country’s development priorities. And one of the most important tasks associated with this is providing the economy with personnel.

    The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that currently there are 1.5 million vacancies available on the Rabota Rossii portal in the country, a third of which (471 thousand) are blue-collar jobs. At the same time, the unemployment rate at the end of 2024 did not exceed 2.3%. According to preliminary estimates, up to 3.1 million workers need to be additionally attracted to the economy by 2030 compared to 2022 as a basis. “This means that we need to additionally involve about 800 thousand people in the economy by 2030. But that’s not all, because during the same period, based on demographic trends that traditionally occur in the labor market every year, which we did not notice during the period of calm economic development, we will have to replace another 10.1 million people due to retirement. That is, the total estimate of both replacement and involvement in the economy today is 10.9 million people,” the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

    In the next five years, about 6.7 million graduates from universities and colleges will enter the labor market, and our task is to provide them with qualified advanced professional training in accordance with the labor market forecast. “On the one hand, this is our golden resource, and on the other hand, we must very clearly understand that the young people entering the labor market meet the needs of the labor market. This is the most difficult task, because in a number of industries and professions there is a discrepancy with the needs of the labor market. We see that the need for qualified labor today makes up 70% of the total need, the rest are specialists in higher education,” noted Tatyana Golikova.

    The established trends served as prerequisites for the development of a new interdepartmental national project “Personnel”.

    “Over 116 billion rubles will be allocated for the implementation of the national project in the next six years, of which over 113 billion rubles will come from the federal budget. We plan that as a result, a new model for managing the country’s personnel supply will be created, which will allow us to increase the rate of reduction of the personnel deficit by 2030 by increasing employment by 3.4%,” said Tatyana Golikova.

    The national project includes four federal projects: “Labour Market Management”, “Education for the Labour Market”, “Active Measures to Promote Employment”, and “The Working Person”.

    The first is aimed at managing the labor market. It is planned to create mechanisms and tools for effective involvement in employment. The average time of employment for citizens who applied to employment centers in search of suitable work will be reduced by 25%. This will be facilitated by the modernization of more than 1.5 thousand employment centers, the creation of new models of their work based on the annual updating of the forecast of the need of economic sectors for specialists for a five-year period, the development of services of the unified digital platform “Work in Russia”.

    The second federal project is aimed at creating a system for training personnel for priority sectors of the economy based on the forecast of demand. Other national projects are also aimed at training personnel, for example, “Youth and Children”, within the framework of which the “Professionality” project is being implemented.

    Within the framework of the national project “Personnel”, it is planned to create 298 career centers based at universities, and a routing of employment for graduates of both secondary and higher education will be introduced.

    The third federal project is aimed at creating an effective system of training, retraining and advanced training of personnel for priority sectors of the economy based on the forecast of demand for them. In parallel, issues related to providing opportunities for citizens experiencing difficulties in finding work will be resolved. Thus, the share of equipped workplaces for which people with disabilities are employed will be increased.

    The fourth federal project is a continuation of the policy of increasing the prestige of blue-collar jobs.

    Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov emphasized that, based on the tasks set by the head of state, the main goal of the national project “Personnel” is to meet the economy’s need for personnel, primarily through our internal reserves. The main reserves of the labor market: increasing labor productivity; increasing the level of youth employment; increasing the employment of citizens with disabilities; involving citizens caring for loved ones in the economy; maintaining employment of workers with family responsibilities.

    One of the most important activities of the national project is the preparation of an annual five-year forecast of personnel needs and its linking with the target figures for admission.

    “The President set the task of calculating how many and what kind of specialists, in which regions we will need in order to ensure national development goals, technological leadership projects. We have formed a forecast of personnel needs for a five-year period. It took into account the forecast of socio-economic development, target economic indicators, projects included in strategic planning documents, demographic trends, and the rate of growth of labor productivity,” said Anton Kotyakov.

    Not only the new demand that arises due to the growth of industries was analyzed, but also the so-called replacement demand related to the annual retirement of workers. In addition, in order to break down the structure of demand in detail by skill levels and specialties, an all-Russian survey of employers was conducted, in which 260 thousand companies with 22 million employees took part. In preparing the forecast, experts processed 3 million unique job titles.

    “As a result of this large-scale and painstaking work, we have received for the first time a detailed forecast in the industry, regional and professional-qualification contexts. The forecast will be calculated annually and taken into account when forming the control figures for admission. Considering that the adaptation of educational processes to the needs of the economy does not happen at once, we understand that a longer forecasting corridor is needed. Therefore, from April 1, an all-Russian survey of employers on the prospective need of the economy for personnel will start for the next forecast. It is planned to calculate it for seven years at once – until 2032,” said Anton Kotyakov.

    In conclusion, Tatyana Golikova and representatives of the federal executive authorities answered questions from deputies regarding the national project “Personnel”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Want to talk about it? Polytechnic psychologists help cope with stress

    “All illnesses come from nerves,” people say, and for good reason. Constant stress is not at all harmless, and sometimes we do not even guess what serious consequences can result from worries about personal troubles or events happening in the world, anxiety and worry, fear of failure and hyper-responsibility, and other similar things. To maintain mental health and performance, it is better to seek help from a specialist in a timely manner.

    The Polytechnic University has created a special facility for this purpose. Center for psychological support, where both students and university staff can share their problems with professionals and try to solve or reduce them together. Parents of students can also get useful advice there.

    In 2024, the staff of the Psychological Support Center conducted 931 individual consultations and 49 group sessions for two thousand people. In social networks, Polytechnic psychologists answered more than 140 questions over the year.

    Most often, students seek help due to anxiety and stress, conflicts with parents, low self-esteem, apathy and procrastination, fears and phobias, separation from a partner, difficulty adapting to a team, and experiences from the loss of loved ones.

    To work with psychological problems, the center’s specialists use, in addition to conversations, various practices: games, online courses, healthy lifestyle master classes, improving emotional intelligence and psychological stability, educational courses for student activists. They teach, for example, how to quickly and safely adapt to changes, how to maintain yourself at a good physical and mental level. Qualified psychologists demonstrate practices for developing physical and mental health and techniques of mental self-regulation, conduct seminars on psychological well-being in professional and educational activities, proactivity as a factor in a healthy personality, and self-development trainings.

    In addition to intra-university events, the center’s staff is engaged in psychological education of schoolchildren, thereby strengthening the ties between the school and the university.

    The specialists of the Center for Psychological Support of SPbPU are members of the community of psychologists of St. Petersburg universities and constantly improve their qualifications by participating in major professional events, such as the All-Russian scientific and practical conference with international participation “Psychological Service of the University: Problems and Development Prospects” (April 2024) and the All-Russian seminar-meeting of psychologists of higher education organizations (June 2024).

    Our Center for Psychological Support “Tochka Opory” is a place where everyone who turns to us will receive the support and participation they need. We sincerely believe that the main task of any person is to be themselves and be happy, realizing their potential to the fullest. We know that difficulties are inevitable, and there is not always the strength to cope with them on your own. So we always stand guard over the mental health and well-being of each polytechnic student, says Acting Director of the Center for Psychological Support Anna Kalugina.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Financial News: Attacks on financial institutions are becoming more sophisticated

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Central Bank of Russia –

    In 2024, the Bank of Russia received more than 750 reports of computer attacks on financial companies. Most of the attacks were carried out to disable the information infrastructure of companies or make their services unavailable (DDoS attacks). At the same time, hackers are increasingly trying to gain access to the systems of financial organizations through attacks on their suppliers.

    Attack methods are becoming increasingly complex, multi-stage and multi-level, which sometimes allows them to bypass traditional means of information protection, and makes it more difficult for financial institutions to detect attacks. In addition, when analyzing incidents, Bank of Russia specialists identified repeated attacks on previously compromised systems. In some cases, hackers could sell access to them to other attackers.

    To ensure that financial institutions maintain their ability to resist cyberattacks and strengthen the security of their infrastructure, the Bank of Russia regularly conducts cyber exercises. In 2024, more than 290 companies took part in them.

    Analytical data on the main types of computer attacks in the financial sector for 2024 are presented in the Bank of Russia review.

    Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University continues to actively develop the activities of the consortium “Russian-African Network University”. Following the visit of Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky to Mali, Guinea and Ethiopia, the Malian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research asked for assistance in reforming higher education in the republic. The development of National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics and the creation of a concept for a modern polytechnic university in Bandiagara. For this purpose, an expert group was formed on the Russian side, which included representatives of SPbPU. Mali is represented by the country’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, rectors of leading universities and the director of the National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Sogoba Jacqueline Konate.

    The second meeting of the working group on the implementation of agreements reached during the visit of the Russian delegation to African countries was held recently. The event was organized by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

    It was attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Director of the Department of International Cooperation Stepan Sokolov, Director of the Institute of African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Irina Abramova, as well as representatives of SPbPU and other Russian universities. In an online format, the discussion was joined by Vice-Rector for International Affairs of SPbPU Dmitry Arsenyev, Head of the RAFU Project Office Maxim Zalyvsky, Secretary of the RAFU Presidium, Deputy Head of the SPbPU International Cooperation Department Alla Mazina.

    Active work is currently underway to agree on the final version of the intergovernmental agreement, including issues of mutual recognition of education and qualifications. This document will replace the existing procedures for hiring. Work is also underway to open Russian language and Russian education centers, promote the Russian language in Mali and Ethiopia, including holding Olympiads and cultural and educational events, Stepan Sokolov noted.

    One of the key topics of discussion was assistance to the Republic of Mali in creating a network of regional universities, namely a modern polytechnic university of international level in the Bandiagara region.

    Vice-Rector of SPbPU Dmitry Arsenyev presented a report on the activities of the expert group. He emphasized that on January 23, 2025, at the initiative of the Polytechnic University and with the assistance of the Honorary Consul of Mali in St. Petersburg Issa Togo, a meeting of the Mali expert group and the SPbPU working group was held.

    The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Mali, Bourema Kansaye, opened the meeting, noting that the main goal of reforming higher education in Mali is to transform higher education and scientific research into a driving force for the socio-economic development of the country.

    However, as noted by the participants of the meeting, Mali faces a multidimensional crisis, including a shortage of human resources and a lack of specialists in key areas of knowledge. To address these issues, priority areas for the country in training and retraining personnel have been identified: artificial intelligence and robotics, energy and renewable energy sources, agriculture, geological exploration and extraction of raw materials, space technology and satellites.

    Russian-African cooperation in the educational sphere continues to gain momentum, opening up new opportunities for the development of African countries.

    The establishment of a university with an emphasis on training highly qualified personnel for the industrial, economic and social development of Mali, as well as the development of a scientific and technical base, is a strategically important step. Priority areas are agriculture, construction using local materials, environmental management, traditional medicine, pharmaceuticals, art, culture and sports. They not only meet the current needs of the country, but also create a solid foundation for its future. This approach ensures a harmonious combination of tradition and innovation, contributing to sustainable development and strengthening the sovereignty of Mali, – emphasized Dmitry Arsenyev.

    Construction site, Republic of Mordovia

    Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin approved an action plan for the implementation of the Concept for training personnel for the construction industry and housing and utilities until 2035. The document was developed by the Ministry of Construction in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor and the industry community and is aimed at achieving the national development goals of Russia outlined by the President.

    “Training personnel for the construction and housing and utilities sectors is of strategic importance for the entire country, especially in the context of large-scale national development goals for Russia. Construction of comfortable housing, high-quality roads, infrastructure modernization, and improvement of populated areas require qualified specialists. Without them, it is impossible to ensure the fulfillment of all the tasks set. Their work directly affects the quality of life of millions of Russians. Last year, the Prime Minister approved the Concept for training personnel for the construction and housing and utilities sectors until 2035, and now we have prepared a “roadmap” in this area. We expect that over the next six years, over 850 thousand young specialists with various qualifications will be attracted to the industry. Systematic work to expand the human resources potential of the industry will also contribute to the fulfillment of the indicators of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – said Marat Khusnullin.

    The Deputy Prime Minister specified that the “road map” covers all stages of personnel training, from career guidance to scientific activity. The document provides for the development and implementation of new federal state educational standards and programs, including mechanisms for reducing training periods, as well as new professional standards.

    “The total number of students enrolled in industry-related programs has been steadily growing in the country over the past four years. The leading role here is given to the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, which was recently included in the list of universities that provide training for engineering personnel and scientific developments for the country’s technological leadership. It is also the basic organization for training and advanced training of personnel in the construction and housing and communal services industries not only in Russia, but also in all CIS countries. In addition, the President supported the project to create a world-class campus on the basis of the National Research University MGSU,” added the Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering.

    According to Marat Khusnullin, the roadmap plans to develop interaction between educational organizations and industry companies. This work includes increasing the target student intake, expanding educational opportunities for foreign students, raising the status of professions related to architecture and construction, and popularizing the construction industry as a whole.

    “Taking into account the implementation of the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, which involves large-scale construction of housing, utilities, transport, industrial and social infrastructure in all regions of Russia, as well as on the basis of the Strategy for the Development of the Construction Industry and Housing and Public Utilities, the projected number of specialists in construction and housing and public utilities by 2030, taking into account data from the Ministry of Labor of Russia, is estimated at 6.8 million people. Currently, the system of training personnel for the construction industry and housing and public utilities includes more than 270 higher education institutions and their branches, as well as over 1.5 thousand vocational education organizations. In 2024, compared to 2020, the number of students in construction universities increased by 9.3 thousand people (18.7%), technical schools and colleges – by 11.7 thousand people (6.3%),” said Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Fayzullin.

    In areas of training and specialties related to architecture, construction and housing and public utilities, the annual average number of university graduates exceeds 34 thousand people, technical schools and colleges – over 117 thousand people.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: A polar bear cub was born in the Perm Zoo

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    A pair of polar bears under the care of Rosneft have given birth to their first cub at the Perm Zoo.

    Preservation and protection of the polar bear population is one of the main areas of Rosneft’s environmental program. Since 2013, all polar bears in Russian zoos have been under the Company’s care.

    Rosneft currently patronizes 35 polar bears in 16 zoos across the country, providing them with care, feeding, veterinary support, as well as upgrading their enclosures, conducting scientific research and educational programs. With the Company’s support, special toys have been developed to increase the animals’ physical activity. In addition, Rosneft is implementing a program to rescue and rehabilitate young polar bears left in the wild without their mother’s care.

    Polar bears Milka and Seriku met at the Perm Zoo 11 years ago. Over time, the predators became almost inseparable: they eat, bathe and even sleep together in the same den. In November, the couple had their first cub. According to experts, he is healthy, active and inquisitive. Visitors will be able to see the cub in March, when he will have the courage to leave the den with Milka. At the same time, experts will determine the sex of the little predator and choose a name for him.

    The birth of a polar bear in a zoo is a significant event for Russia. The polar predator is listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation as endangered, as well as in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and has the status of a rare or endangered species. The total number of polar bears in Russia is about 4 thousand individuals.

    Rosneft pays special attention to environmental issues and nature conservation. In cooperation with the country’s key scientific institutes, geological, oceanographic, hydrometeorological and ecological research is carried out, and populations of bioindicator animals in the wild are studied – polar bears, wild reindeer, Atlantic walruses and ivory gulls.
