The closing ceremony of the All-Russian Student Forum "Your Move – 2025" was held in Moscow. It is being implemented by the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. The "Your Move" project is an event of the presidential platform "Russia – Land of Opportunity" as part of the National Project "Youth and Children."
In the fifth season of the "Your Move" project, Polytechnic students became winners in the tracks "I Do," "I Determine," and "I Inspire."
In the "I Do" track, 100 winners from across Russia were selected from 12,000 applications, 17 of whom are studying at universities in St. Petersburg.
Three polytechnic students became the winners of the track and received cash prizes of 1,000,000 rubles each.
Ekaterina Makarova, Institute of Biological Sciences and Biology. Project: "EuroFoods Awards Culinary Championship." Tatyana Sedegova, Institute of Mathematics and Information Technology. Project: "Formation of Halide Perovskite Crystals in Radiation-Resistant Glass." Danil Dyuryagin, Institute of Geology. Project: "Laboratory for Creating Effective Methods for Parental Support of Graduates 'USE Family'" (*Tatar: "Family").
Over the course of eight months, participants in the "I Do" track launched and implemented socially significant projects on various topics. The leaders completed a series of challenges—from developing a project specification to solving case studies and filming video presentations—and then presented their findings to experts during an online and in-person defense, which was held for students from the Northwestern Federal District in Roshchino, Leningrad Oblast.
Ekaterina Makarova shared her impressions of participating: "This was my third time participating in the 'I Do' track. Every year, I refine and scale my project. The path to victory was challenging: completing eight months of competition tasks, meeting strict deadlines, and investing maximum effort and time into my own project—"EuroFoods Awards Culinary ChampionshipThis year, I believed in myself and felt I would achieve my long-awaited victory in the fifth season. And so it happened! I want to thank everyone who cheered for me and supported me: my family, my team, my mentors, and my friends. Your support was incredibly important to me!
Polytechnic University students also made it into the top 200 winners of the "I Determine" track—a project in which participants complete surveys on the platform and influence real changes in the educational environment.
The winners of the “I define” track were: Ekaterina Makarova (IBBSiB), Ekaterina Kushner (IBBSiB), Mikhail Alekseev (IKNK), Diana Zaydullina (IPMET).
The "Inspire" track focused on developing regional teams, assessing their performance, rewarding achievements, and encouraging active participation in the project. Third place in the track went to a regional team from St. Petersburg, coordinated by Polytechnic University student Ivan Barsukov (IMMiT). The team received 150,000 rubles for development in 2026.
Participating in competitions like these helps develop the skills needed for life in the modern world. I've been involved in this project for several years now, and every year I improve both myself and my projects. Here, I learned how to assemble a team, effectively use resources, collaborate with partners, and share responsibility. I'd like to express my gratitude to all the organizers of the presidential platform's "Russia – Land of Opportunity" project for the knowledge that helps me now and will definitely be useful in the future! — shared Danil Dyuryagin.
