    The International Summer Institute on Artificial Intelligence in Education Research, organized by Institute of Education HSE University together with East China Normal University (ECNU). It was attended by over 50 participants and key speakers from more than ten countries in Asia, Europe, North and South America. They discussed the use of AI technologies in education and other areas.

    Opening the program, Professor Meng Yu and Vice Dean of the School of Computer Science at East China Normal University Xu Fei emphasized that the rapid development of AI technologies requires international cooperation and interdisciplinary research. “We are pleased to join forces with the Institute of Education at the Higher School of Economics and are confident that the week in Shanghai will become a starting point for long-term joint projects,” said Meng Yu and Xu Fei.

    Director of the Institute of Education Evgeny Terentyev recalled that research alliances between Russian and Chinese universities are acquiring strategic importance and opening up new horizons for cooperation. He also presented the results of one of the latest studies by InoBra — a typology of Russian universities’ reactions to generative AI: from ban to active implementation. The analysis showed that most universities are still in the grey zone, not formalizing the rules for using new technologies.

    In his speech, HSE Academic Director Yaroslav Kuzminov outlined five areas in which AI is already transforming higher education. First, this is the need to change educational practices and educational routines. Second, the new role of human cognitive skills. Third, the possibility of overcoming educational failure by establishing a mechanism for personalized feedback. In addition, these are new learning formats (including gaming). The fifth area is new mechanisms for integrating into the labor market, based on real skills, and not on the ability to perform routine operations.

    He also emphasized possible areas of using AI for good, to strengthen a person. “Efficient (competent) implementation of AI in education, based on transparent rules, motivation of students to perform more complex tasks with the help of AI than without it, as well as personalized recommendations – all this together can reduce educational failure and release economic potential, creating equal opportunities for the formation of a competitive workforce and ensuring sustainable development. Therefore, let’s move towards the literacy of the future and AI literacy with the understanding that economic development without the AI factor is no longer possible, but regression in the case of careless, illiterate use is quite likely,” said Yaroslav Kuzminov.

    This leitmotif was continued by Ekaterina Kruchinskaya, senior lecturer Department of Higher Mathematics HSE University. She spoke about the results of a survey of students from ten selective (top) universities in Russia. The survey showed that students most often use generative models to retell texts, analyze data, and program, but the time savings remain minimal due to the need to check the results. At the same time, the practices of use are still not organized, and students mainly use AI to relax more, but not to use the capabilities of generative models to perform more complex, creative tasks.

    “The danger of using generative AI will be significantly reduced when these practices of its use become more institutionalized, and students are motivated not to imitate, but to improve their real results,” Ekaterina Kruchinskaya summed up.

    The lecture was given by Okan Bulut, a professor at the University of Alberta (Canada), who spoke about the problems of using artificial intelligence in education. He highlighted the key challenges in assessing the use of AI and discussed how this technology can be used for the benefit of learning. Continuing the topic, Associate Professor Mick Funghi of the Education University of Hong Kong spoke about changing traditional ideas about computer-supported collaborative learning. He explained that if previously technologies were viewed only as a means for students to interact with each other, now AI tools themselves are becoming full-fledged participants in the process. Using the example of group work with text, Professor Funghi also highlighted the new risks of freeriding – cases when students use AI primarily to save time, rather than to deepen collaboration – and proposed a research agenda focusing on the behavior of individual participants.

    The first day ended with academic “speed dating”: the participants exchanged ideas for their projects and outlined the tasks they would work on during the week in Shanghai. Ahead of them are a series of lectures, master classes and workshops on research methods. Following the work, each participant will present their research, taking into account the recommendations received during the summer institute from experts from the Institute of Education of the National Research University Higher School of Economics and the Higher Communist Party of Ukraine.

    BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — China’s passenger car sector posted double-digit growth in retail sales in June as government policies to boost consumption continued to have an effect, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said Tuesday.

    China’s passenger car retail sales rose 18.1 percent year-on-year last month to more than 2.08 million units, the association said.

    The association attributed the significant increase to the impact of a nationwide trade-in program for consumer goods.

    Last month, the country’s government reaffirmed its support for the program, guaranteeing continued funding to maintain government subsidy payments through 2025. The program, a key part of the country’s broader strategy to boost domestic consumption, encourages consumers to replace older products such as appliances and vehicles with newer, more efficient models.

    In June, China produced 1.2 million new energy passenger vehicles, with retail sales exceeding 1.11 million units, up 28.3 percent and 29.7 percent year-on-year, respectively.

    According to the association, in the first six months of this year, retail sales of passenger cars exceeded 10.9 million units, an increase of 10.8 percent year-on-year. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz produced the 10-millionth ton of oil

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    The cumulative oil production of Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz (a joint venture of Rosneft and Gazprom Neft) has reached 10 million tons since the start of development of licensed areas located in Krasnoyarsk Krai.

    This indicator was achieved thanks to the advanced launch of the main production facilities, the successful implementation of research work, and the introduction of innovative approaches in development and production.

    The Kuyumbinskoye oil field is located in the most ancient fractured rocks on the planet of the Riphean period, the age of which exceeds 1 billion years. Careful development of geological exploration projects using digital software packages has ensured the high success of exploratory drilling over the past seven years.

    A powerful production complex has been created at the Kuyumbinsky field, including more than 150 facilities, including a central oil collection point, an acceptance point, a tank farm, and 450 km of oil collection pipelines. Production is provided by more than 360 wells, most of which are horizontal. The oil prepared to commercial quality is transported to consumers via the Kuyumba-Taishet main oil pipeline and then to the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean pipeline system. 125 km of roads, 240 km of power lines, and energy centers have been built at the field. Dormitories and shift camps have been built for comfortable living of oil workers.

    Along with the development of the Kuyumbinskoye field, Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz is conducting pilot work at the Tersko-Kamovsky license area. High starting flow rates have been obtained at the wells. Commissioning of a 58 km pipeline to the central collection point of the Kuyumbinskoye field will create opportunities to increase the production of Evenki oil by 20%. Using the existing infrastructure of the Kuyumbinskoye field will allow for a synergistic effect and reduce the development time of the Tersko-Kamovsky area.

    Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz employs over 1.8 thousand specialists, 60% of whom are residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, including remote northern territories. In 2025, the company entered the top 3 best employers in the region in the category “Energy and raw materials extraction”.

    Reference:

    OOO Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz, a joint venture between Rosneft (the project operator) and Gazprom Neft, holds licenses for the right to geological study, exploration and production of four license areas, as well as to study the Podporozhny area, located in the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskaya oil-bearing zone on the territory of the Evenki municipal district of Krasnoyarsk Krai.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: INNOPROM-2025: the fight for technological leadership

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Polytechnic stand continues its work at the INNOPROM exhibition, and the official delegation of SPbPU takes an active part in the business program. On July 8, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin arrived in Yekaterinburg. At the forum, the Prime Minister assessed the exhibits and opened the main strategic session “Technological Leadership: Industrial Breakthrough”.

    “I would like to sincerely welcome the participants and guests of the main industrial exhibition of Russia. This year it has a significant anniversary. For the 15th time, Yekaterinburg has become the center of attraction for companies of industrial leaders – both our country and our friendly states. In order to identify new growth points, expand the range of business contacts,” said Mikhail Mishustin. – Today’s discussion is devoted to a very important topic – industrial breakthrough. President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum emphasized that the Russian economy must become more technological. This is a serious challenge, the solution of which will require combining the efforts of educational and scientific institutions, industry and other sectors, the expert community and investors, state corporations and development institutions, ministries and departments, regional authorities. I am absolutely convinced that together we will be able to achieve the goals set in this area. And a good support, of course, will be the success of domestic manufacturers.”

    The industrial world is currently experiencing a period of dramatic change and instability. In the context of growing uncertainty, the largest market players are actively looking for new growth points and strategic allies. Technological development is becoming a key area of production transformation. The priority vector is the creation of intelligent and automated systems, where artificial intelligence plays a central role in managing production processes. However, technological progress is only one component of success in the struggle for leadership. An equally important aspect is the formation of a reliable ecosystem of partnerships based on many years of experience of joint work and mutual trust. The key factors in this strategy are the painstaking work of higher education institutions in training qualified personnel, as well as close interaction between educational institutions, enterprises and business representatives.

    Thus, the chief designer for the key scientific and technological development area of SPbPU “System Digital Engineering”, director of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” Alexey Borovkov was one of the key speakers of the round table “Implementation of strategic projects of technological leadership within the framework of the program “Priority-2030”. The participants of the meeting discussed the mechanisms of interaction of the program with the system of higher education, including the assessment of the implemented educational programs, methodological approaches to training and forms of cooperation between educational institutions and the business community.

    Alexey Ivanovich recalled that in 2025, each university included the section “Strategic Technological Leadership” in its comprehensive development program, identifying three strategic technological projects. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, following the presentation of the University Development Program at the Council of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, entered the leading group of universities participating in the Priority-2030 program.

    It is important to note that in accordance with the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 20, 2023 No. 1315-r, the term “technological leadership” is defined as the superiority of technologies or products in key parameters (functional, technical, cost) over foreign analogues. It is for the purpose of achieving technological leadership according to this definition that SPbPU concentrates its efforts on three key scientific and technological areas (KST): KST-1 “Systemic digital engineering” – development of technologies and products superior to foreign analogues, based on digital twin technology and the CML-Bench® Digital Platform KST-2 “New materials, technologies, production” – creation of science-intensive industries for the repair and manufacture of products for various purposes; KST-3 “Artificial intelligence for solving cross-industry problems” – development of digital platform solutions for analyzing multimodal data, – said Alexey Ivanovich.

    A solemn and pleasant ceremony took place at our stand during business negotiations. SPbPU Academic Secretary Dmitry Karpov presented the SPbPU “For Merits” badge of distinction to Anatoly Sludnykh, General Director of the Ural Optical-Mechanical Plant named after E. S. Yalamov (UOMZ). The award was given by a unanimous decision of the Polytechnic Academic Council for his great contribution to the development of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. UOMZ is a long-standing and reliable partner of the Polytechnic. So, quite recently The plant’s delegation visited our university.

    According to Anatoly Sludnykh, the enterprise is interested in using technologies and materials developed by Polytechnic University scientists, as well as in additional training of its technologists and engineers at the university. SPbPU, in turn, is determined to strengthen ties and expand cooperation with the Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant and other enterprises of the Shvabe holding.

    We should add that the Polytechnic stand enjoys increased attention from specialists and visitors to the INNOPROM exhibition. They evaluate the advanced engineering developments of our university and communicate with the university specialists. But the exhibit of the SPbPU History Museum is of particular value – a fragment of the legendary “Cable of Life”. This is a gift from Polytechnic graduates who, after graduating from the university, made a successful career at Lenenergo.

    September 23, 1942 was a turning point in the history of Leningrad during the siege. On this day, the besieged city began receiving electricity from the Volkhov Hydroelectric Power Station. The unique project was completed in just 48 days. Power engineers had to lay 104 kilometers of overhead power lines and five 23-kilometer cable strands along the bottom of Lake Ladoga. The work was carried out under constant enemy fire near the front line. A three-core cable with a 120 mm² cross-section ensured the transmission of significant amounts of electricity. The system operated for almost two years, supplying not only industrial enterprises, but also the everyday needs of city residents.

    Director of the SPbPU History Museum Valery Klimov shared his memories of the outstanding engineer Nikodim Tumanov, who supervised the cable laying. In 1935, he graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute as an external student, defending his diploma project on the topic of “Expansion of the electrical network of the Central District of the Leningrad electrical network.”

    When he was assigned to lead the group, he said: “I understood that this task was impossible. But if I refused, someone else would refuse, a third – and the city would be left without electricity. I decided for myself that I had to try. Leningraders are those people who did not refuse. Perhaps that is why we survived. And as long as a person believes, he lives,” Valery Yuryevich quoted Nikodim Tumanov.

    I noticed that there are not many stands here that have the logo of the 80th anniversary of the Victory. Our stand has one. This year the country celebrated a great anniversary, and that is why we brought to Yekaterinburg one of the symbols of the Victory and the heroism of Leningraders – “Cable of Life”, – emphasized Valery Klimov.

    Video greeting from Tatyana Golikova to the participants of the 10th All-Russian Forum of State Labor Inspectors.

    15 hours ago

    From the transcript:

    Dear colleagues!

    I am pleased to welcome the participants and guests of the tenth anniversary All-Russian Forum of State Labor Inspectors.

    Over the years of its existence, the forum has become a unique platform for dialogue, professional training and the formation of new approaches to solving the most important social task of the state – protecting the labor rights of citizens.

    And here the main role is played by the federal labor inspection system, which has changed significantly over the past period.

    Rostrud was one of the first supervisory bodies to test the use of a risk-oriented approach, checklists and a prevention system – all of these developments were subsequently taken into account in the federal law on supervision, according to which all supervisory bodies now operate.

    The introduction of innovative principles has made it possible to achieve quite significant results.

    Thus, over the past 12 years, the level of industrial injuries has decreased by a third. The amount of wage arrears has decreased more than threefold. Last year alone, largely due to the implemented algorithm of interaction with employers without inspections, workers received their due payments in the amount of over 5.6 billion rubles. According to the results of last year, the rights of more than 367 thousand working citizens were restored. In accordance with the demands of labor inspectors, wages in the amount of over 14 billion rubles were paid.

    These figures represent the well-being of our citizens. And largely thanks to your work, sensitive, caring approach to solving problems that arise for workers, the sphere of labor relations remains stable.

    But of course, we can’t stop there.

    Today, you are faced with new challenges: the development of risk management systems, services for preventing violations of mandatory requirements, risk indicators as the main control tool and, of course, the digitalization of control activities, including the introduction of remote supervision elements.

    These are not easy tasks, but their solution will allow us to qualitatively improve the efficiency of labor supervision. Make it precise and targeted.

    I am confident that within the framework of the forum you will be able to exchange best practices, discuss existing problems and find solutions, and develop new approaches to organizing control and supervisory activities.

    You will become the conductors of the innovative ideas being implemented, and it is up to you to determine how flexible, fair and effective the system of control and prevention of labor relations will be.

    Participation of our foreign colleagues in the forum has become a good tradition. I hope that the forum will allow you to get acquainted with new approaches in the work of Russian inspectors, exchange experiences, and also improve the level of professional skills and competencies.

    I wish you all successful work.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The Department of Construction Materials Technology and Metrology has developed methods to improve the fire safety of concrete

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Associate Professor of the Department of Construction Materials Technology and Metrology Dmitry Panteleev completed the research work “Crack resistance of dispersion-reinforced concrete after high-temperature heating” as part of the grant competition for the implementation of research work by scientific and pedagogical workers of SPbGASU in 2025.

    Every year in Russia there are many fires in buildings and structures. Their number can be reduced by increasing the requirements for the structural safety of buildings. For this, when designing, in addition to calculating the load-bearing structure for strength, it is also necessary to carry out a fire resistance calculation to guarantee the preservation of the load-bearing capacity in fire conditions for a specified time.

    In case of fire, high fire resistance of building structures is a guarantee not only of the structural integrity of the building, but also of the safety of people. After the fire starts to affect the structure, concrete can explode, breaking off from the heated surface in plates. Pieces of peeling concrete fly off with a bang to a distance of up to 10 m.

    During the research, fibre-reinforced concrete compositions were designed and manufactured, followed by determination of their properties after exposure to high-temperature heating.

    It was found that the use of steel fiber can increase the crack resistance and fracture toughness of concrete structures, thereby making them safer in the event of a fire, while the use of synthetic microfiber helps to avoid explosive destruction.

    As a result of the research, effective versions of fiber concrete were developed using high-modulus steel and low-modulus synthetic fibers to obtain highly fire-resistant concrete, to increase their technical and economic efficiency, reliability and operational safety of building and structure structures.

    BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has the confidence and ability to dispel all illusions of separatists advocating “Taiwan independence,” Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin said Tuesday.

    Jiang Bin thus commented, at the request of journalists, on recent statements by the head of the Taiwanese administration, Lai Qingde, about the so-called increase in the “defense budget” and the “struggle for Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu.”

    Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to China alone, and Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu are all part of China’s sacred territory, Jiang Bin stated.

    Jiang Bin criticized Lai Qingde for fabricating security threats to manipulate public opinion in Taiwan and attempting to militarize local society and drag Taiwan’s future into a scenario of external interference.

    Lai Qingde’s call to “fight for Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu” is actually a fight for the interests of the Democratic Progressive Party and the separatists’ desire for “Taiwan independence,” he confirmed.

    Commenting on Taiwan’s military exercises that will begin on Wednesday, Jiang Bin noted that no matter what exercises they conduct or what weapons they use, it will not stop the PLA’s countermeasures against “Taiwan independence” or stop the irresistible trend of national reunification. -0-

    SHANGHAI, July 8 (Xinhua) — A special exhibition titled “Great Poet, Pride of the Nation – A.S. Pushkin and Eastern Repercussions” opened at the China Printing and Publishing Museum in Shanghai on Monday.

    The event presents more than one hundred exhibits from the collection of the All-Russian Museum of A.S. Pushkin, which provide a comprehensive overview of the creative path of Alexander Pushkin and the dissemination of his works in China over more than 100 years. Many of them were imported to China for the first time and shown to the country’s residents.

    The exhibition consists of three parts dedicated to the poet’s biography, his classical works, and his connection with China. Pushkin’s study in the Mikhailovskoye estate, where the Russian poet created the historical drama “Boris Godunov” and other famous lyric poems, was recreated on site.

    The exhibition also features valuable works of art created by Russian artists from the late 19th to the early 21st century, such as Ilya Repin’s painting “The Duel of Onegin and Lensky,” Alexander Benois’s illustrations for “The Bronze Horseman,” and Vladimir Favorsky’s illustrations for “Boris Godunov.”

    In addition, the exhibition pays great attention to the dissemination of the Russian poet’s works and their influence in China, and presents rich literary sources, including a copy of the Shiu Bao newspaper, in which, as is known, A.S. Pushkin was first mentioned in China.

    At the same time, the exhibition also displays manuscripts and personal collections of Chinese translators, which have become important evidence of Sino-Russian literary exchanges. Among them are works and translations by Ge Baoquan, Wang Zhiliang, Feng Chun, as well as the Pushkin Medal awarded to Liu Wenfei and his award certificate.

    Museum visitors can use an interactive device to receive commemorative postcards printed with poems such as “If Life Deceives You…,” translated by Ge Baoquan, Feng Chun and Liu Wenfei.

    Shanghai has an inseparable connection with Pushkin. Let us recall that at the beginning of the 20th century, Pushkin’s novel “The Captain’s Daughter” was translated into Chinese and published in Shanghai. This novel became the first work of Russian literature translated into Chinese and published as a separate book, which, according to some scholars, marked the beginning of the translation and dissemination of Russian literature in China.

    Moreover, in one of the squares of the Chinese metropolis there is a monument to the great Russian poet, which was originally erected in early February 1937, restored in February 1947 and reconstructed in August 1987. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Measures will be tough – the Central Bank warned banks against imposing conditions on deposits

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Mainfin Bank –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Why did complaints arise about additional conditions for deposits?

    Russian investors complain about the behavior banks, which lure customers with higher rates, but require a number of actions to be taken to obtain generous terms. Among the banks that have requirements for high rates on deposits:

    Yandex Bank – the 21% rate is valid only with the Plus subscription and once for 62 days;
    VTB – 21.5% for 3 months, available only with MiXX subscription;
    Sovcombank – a surcharge to the deposit rate of up to 4% is provided for purchases using the “Halva” card with the “Ten” subscription;
    MTS Bank – the maximum rate is provided for card transactions over 90 thousand rubles per month;
    Sberbank – the best conditions apply to “new money” that has not been stored in accounts for more than two months, as well as when connecting a subscription.

    “It is becoming increasingly difficult to simply open a deposit – clients have to study a ton of conditions and meet dozens of criteria in order to receive a favorable interest rate: at the same time, the increased rates are valid for a limited period,” the expert noted.

    Banks require depositors to connect paid subscriptions, turnover on cards, keep certain balances, receive salaries into an account – it is much more difficult to calculate the real profitability of such deposits, not to mention convenience and transparency for the client.

    How does the Central Bank of the Russian Federation plan to combat the imposition of conditions on deposits?

    The Bank of Russia is closely monitoring the situation on the savings products market – credit institutions have been recommended to honestly inform citizens about the terms and conditions and to abandon the practice of putting forward numerous requirements to receive a higher rate. If the recommendations are not followed, the regulator will have to develop amendments to the legislation or create a banking standard to restore order in the industry.

    Let us recall that the high key rate has led to a surge in the popularity of deposits – this year, balances on individuals’ accounts have grown by 6%, amounting to over 61 trillion rubles: by the end of the year, the figure could reach 70 trillion rubles. However, after the key rate was reduced (from 21 to 20%), banks began to massively revise the terms of deposits for the worse, but the demand for deposits and savings accounts remains high.

    TEHRAN, July 8 (Xinhua) — Iran has not requested any meetings with the United States, the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Tuesday, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.

    This is how the diplomat responded to the words of US President Donald Trump, who said the day before that Iran had asked for a meeting.

    Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the United States was ready to negotiate with Iran. “We have a meeting scheduled with Iran, and they want to talk,” he said. “They have requested a meeting, and I am going to attend. If we can put something on paper, that would be good,” the president added.

    From April 12 to May 23, Iran and the United States held five rounds of indirect talks on Tehran’s nuclear program and the lifting of American sanctions. They were mediated by Oman.

    Two days before the sixth round, scheduled for June 15 in the Omani capital Muscat, Israel launched massive airstrikes on a number of Iranian sites, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and scores of civilians. Tehran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes on Israel.

    On June 22, the United States struck three Iranian nuclear facilities: Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iran later attacked the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

    On June 24, after 12 days of fighting, Iran and Israel reached a ceasefire agreement. –0–

    CHANGSHA, July 8 (Xinhua) — Wang Yong, former vice chairman of the people’s government of southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on Tuesday for accepting bribes.

    The verdict was handed down by the Intermediate People’s Court of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, central China. His case was heard in open court on May 15 this year.

    According to the verdict, Wang Yong, also a former member of the SAR government’s leadership group, was deprived of political rights for life and all his personal property will be confiscated in favor of the state.

    The court found that from 2007 to 2023, Wang Yong, in various positions, abused his official powers to assist other organizations and individuals in winning contracts for contracting projects, thereby illegally enriching himself in the total amount of more than 271 million yuan (about 37.9 million US dollars).

    The court ruled that Wang Yun’s crimes had caused serious harm to the interests of the state and the people. Meanwhile, based on the fact that the defendant admitted his guilt and repented of his actions, and also assisted in the return of illegally obtained funds, his sentence was reduced. -0-

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    During the training, future archaeologists will acquire a solid theoretical base, the necessary technical competencies for working with archaeological equipment, material sources, and will also have the opportunity to develop analytical skills for the correct interpretation of finds. The curriculum includes disciplines on the study of the material culture of Eurasia, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Europe, the history of landowning and nomadic civilizations – from the Stone Age to the New Age.

    The practice-oriented disciplines include mastering methods of field and desk research, including 3D modeling, as well as immersion in issues of legal regulation of the protection of cultural heritage sites. In addition, students will take courses in Chinese and Hindi.

    A bachelor’s program has been opened at St. Petersburg State University in the 2025/26 academic year “Archeology” with additional qualifications: “History and Social Science Teacher”, “Curator of Museum Values” or “Museum Objects Accounting Specialist”. This direction is implemented in online form with the Institute of the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where students conduct practical training and research work.

    The classes will be taught by leading teachers of St Petersburg University and research fellows of the Institute of the History of Material Culture (IHMC) of the Russian Academy of Sciences — recognized experts in the field of studying the Paleolithic era, Finno-Ugric, Slavic-Russian, Scandinavian and Caucasian archeology, the New Age and the art of the Ancient East.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: HSE’s Project Management Course Receives International Accreditation

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University “Higher School of Economics” –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics has received accreditation for teaching the discipline “Project Management” according to the international standard IPMA ICB 4.0.

    Accreditation confirms that the Project Management course at the HSB complies with international standards: from the content of the course and the qualifications of teachers to the teaching materials. These requirements are recognized in more than 70 countries, including the USA, China, India, Germany, Great Britain and France.

    The Project Management course is implemented as part of various educational programs of the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics – from bachelor’s and master’s degrees to professional retraining programs and MBA. Particular attention is paid to unified international approaches so that graduates can work in the global market and “speak” with colleagues in the same professional language.

    Project management has long gone beyond the scope of narrow professional tools. Today, it is the key to implementing changes and the basis for sustainable growth of companies in an unstable and rapidly changing environment. Modern project management requires specialists to be flexible, able to work with a high degree of uncertainty, think strategically, and have a wide range of methodological approaches – from classical to Agile and hybrid. All this forms the basis for teaching the Project Management discipline at the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

    The certificate was issued for two years by the Russian Project Management Association SOVNET, the representative of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) in Russia since 1991. To obtain accreditation, the HSE provided a full set of training materials, and the teachers confirmed their qualifications by undergoing certification according to the IPMA system. The assessment was carried out by a commission of national experts authorized by IPMA.

    Ilyina Olga Nikolaevna

    Associate Professor of the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Director of the Project Management Center of the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics

    “Accreditation according to the international IPMA standard is a significant step for the HSB. It confirms that our approach to teaching project management meets the high requirements of the global professional community. For us, this is not only an assessment of quality, but also confirmation that we are developing education in accordance with global trends and preparing specialists who are able to work effectively in an international environment.”

    International accreditation confirms HSE’s commitment to high educational standards and strengthens its reputation as a first-choice business school.

The report presented the results of the influence of the welding method on the level of residual deformations, energy input and the width of the heat-affected zone, as well as on technical and economic characteristics.

    A separate presentation was devoted to the restoration of nozzle blades made of cobalt and nickel alloy using laser cladding. SPbPU scientists created a laser cladding technology and developed measures to prevent cracks. The cladding blades successfully passed operational tests.

    Mikhail Kuznetsov, Head of the Research Laboratory “LiAT” of IMMiT, presented a series of robotic systems for the implementation of laser welding, laser cladding and direct laser deposition processes in industrial production conditions. Among the developments are the mobile laser cladding system “Nomad”, direct laser deposition systems, as well as laser and hybrid laser-arc welding. Special attention was paid to the laser foil welding system and the system for applying a porous coating to hip joint cups. The participants’ attention was drawn to examples of the systems’ application for solving industrial partners’ production problems.

    Participation in VINMiAT-2025 is very important for understanding the development trend of industry and science in the field of additive technologies, as well as identifying points of contact for further interaction with industry, commented Mikhail Kuznetsov.

    At the sections, experts considered various issues: research into the mechanical properties of continuously reinforced nature-like polymer composites, development of biocompatible titanium-tantalum composites using selective laser melting, 3D printing of metal products using melt extrusion technology, implementation of innovations at Gazprom Transgaz Saratov, the procedure for admitting MTRs for use at Gazprom facilities, modern solutions in instrument making using machine vision and FDM technology, and much more.

    A cruise on a motor ship with an excursion program was organized for the conference participants. A meeting was held on board the motor ship, where reports were presented by representatives of PAO Gazprom and its subsidiaries, scientific and educational institutions and enterprises.
