"This is a particularly important thank you. When representatives of the unit visited the GUU, they said it was for their assistance in capturing Seversk. It's no secret that we send humanitarian aid as part of the "GUU-SVOim" campaign, but this year we're also providing scientific, research, and engineering support, as technical issues are especially pressing on the front lines. It's beneficial and right to help in every way possible those who risk their lives for the good of our country," Vladimir Vitalyevich noted.
The rector presented a Doctor of Economics degree to SUMU Associate Professor Dmitry Repnikov, a Ministry of Education and Science medal "For Impeccable Work and Distinction" to Associate Professor Elena Gubareva, other departmental awards from the Ministry of Education and Science to the university's faculty and staff, a commendation from the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring to IEF Director Galina Sorokina, and also congratulated the month's birthday celebrants.

Vladimir Filatov, Director of the Engineering Project Management Center (EPMC), presented the Center's work and shared its immediate prospects.
"This year, we opened several new laboratories: the RosGeoTech Industrial Innovation Lab, a digital innovation laboratory created jointly with the Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technological University, and the Numerical Control Systems (NCS) laboratory, launched thanks to a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science. Our fleet includes nine drones for various purposes, and we are ready to move on to establishing a center for unmanned aerial systems. We have completed several major projects with industrial partners and have begun new ones. In 2026, we plan to participate in the competition for inclusion in the federal project "Personnel for UAS,"" Vladimir Filatov said.
Vladimir Stroev noted that this year there has been significant growth in the university's scientific field.
"In just the last three years, the volume of scientific research has increased severalfold, and there's more to come. The state is ready to support scientific research and young scientists, so today there are all the opportunities in this area. This scientific component is important to us as we strive to revive engineering and economic education, which is more relevant today than ever. Our country needs people with an engineering education to achieve its national goals, and we can train them," concluded the SUM rector.
Sergey Chuev, an advisor to the rector's office, proposed commemorating significant figures in the history of the State University of Management by naming lecture halls after Alexey Lyalin and Mark Razu, as well as beginning a collection of materials for a book dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the State University of Management. The idea was unanimously supported.
In addition, the meeting discussed issues related to tuition discounts, the transfer of part-time students with secondary vocational education to accelerated learning, and the approval of additional professional development programs.
