On November 25, the Academic Council of the State University of Management held a meeting. The agenda included more than 15 issues, including the establishment of a Center for Space Research, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and Radioelectronic Technologies, the development of the university's international activities, and a summary of the Institute of Industry Management's preliminary results for 2025.

As per tradition, the meeting began with a congratulatory segment. GUU Rector Vladimir Stroyev presented Ekaterina Karelina with a Doctor of Economics degree and congratulated the birthday celebrants of the month.

As part of the meeting agenda, Galina Serebryakova, Director of the Institute of Industry Management, reported on the institute's preliminary results for 2025 and plans for 2026.

"The Institute only exists when it has students. Therefore, first and foremost, I would like to note the rather successful admissions campaign. The number of students studying on a fee-paying basis has increased. The most popular program this year was "International Manufacturing Business," while the most in-demand programs include "Project Management," "Organization Management," and "Logistics." Next year, we plan to further increase the number of students enrolling on a fee-paying basis," concluded Galina Serebryakova.

Vladimir Stroyev noted that the previous day, he and Vice Rector Maria Karelina attended a meeting of the Council of Supporting Scientific and Educational Organizations at Rostec State Corporation. During the meeting, they discussed the importance of training professional personnel, including in areas aligned with the IOM programs, further demonstrating that the work is headed in the right direction.

Inessa Bogatyreva, Head of the International Cooperation Department, spoke about the university's development of international activities and the organization of international student training at SUM.

"The university is actively working in all areas of international engagement: participating in competitions, exhibitions, visiting venues, internships, and more. We also host two Olympiads for international students: "Hi-Tech Breakthrough" and "Future of the EAEU." Currently, over 700 international students are studying at SUM. The largest number comes from Kazakhstan, followed by Vietnam and Kyrgyzstan. Slightly fewer students this year come from Chad, Belarus, and China. The most popular undergraduate programs are management, economics, and law," reported Inessa Bogatyreva.

The rector of the State University of Management noted that, largely due to its active international position and work within the Eurasian Network University, it was the first management team that was entrusted with implementing the international track of the "Academic Reserve."

"This is also an element of trust in our international activities and the university as a whole. We often talk about attracting and integrating international students. We have a fairly wide range of countries from which they come to us. Incidentally, our student from Vietnam met with the Russian president last year, and at this year's Congress of Young Scientists, she will also speak about this at the venue where I am speaking."

Continuing the theme of developing the scientific potential of our university, Maria Karelina, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, proposed creating a Center for Space Research, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and Radioelectronic Technologies.

"The center is a consistent step in training specialists for high-tech fields. With its help, we are consolidating ongoing research into a cluster and defining the SUM's position in three key areas of work. The first is the implementation of a technological initiative under the grant, the protocol for which was published yesterday. The second is SUM's integration into the "Personnel for Space" program. And the third is the implementation of future projects with the Rostec State Corporation," explained Maria Karelina.

In addition, the Council discussed the possibility and procedure for participating in all-Russian research, the opening of contractual training at the State University of Management's Pre-University, and a number of working issues.
