The St. Petersburg International Educational Forum is one of the leading events in Russian education, setting the tone for the professional agenda. This year, it runs from March 30 to April 3, bringing together nearly 40,000 professionals, including participants from around the world. The forum's program covers eight relevant areas and takes place at leading educational institutions in St. Petersburg, including the Polytechnic University.
More than 350 events are planned for the 2026 St. Petersburg International Forum, which can be attended both in person and online. This year, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University will participate in 21 events on the forum's business program.
The main event, held on March 30 at the Technopolis Polytech Research Building, was "PROFIUM"—an educational event for directors, deputies for educational and training work, teachers, and anyone interested in improving the quality of career guidance and enhancing the competitiveness of graduates.
Andrey Protasov, Head of the Kalininsky District Education Department, spoke at the plenary session of the event: "The forum's business platform in the Kalininsky District will address key areas of state education policy, with a primary focus, of course, on training and retaining qualified personnel to ensure the economic and technological sovereignty of our state. It's no secret that training and availability of personnel for educational institutions is currently the most pressing issue facing the education system, not only in our city but throughout the country."
The event included master classes and training sessions on various aspects of career guidance for administrative and teaching teams.
A significant event held at the Polytechnic University was the roundtable discussion "Physics Experiments in Engineering Classrooms." Participants discussed the organization of project-based activities in school physics classrooms and presented thematic reports.
Polytechnic University representatives—Associate Professor of the Physics Department Natalia Leonova and Director of the Applicant Services Center Artem Egupov—shared their practical experience in hosting events, from specialized physics workshops to large-scale events such as engineering olympiads.
Polytechnic also participated in other sections of the forum, held in schools and educational centers in the Kalininsky, Vyborgsky, Kolpino, Krasnogvardeisky, Petrogradsky, Kirovsky, Krasnoselsky, and Vasileostrovsky districts of St. Petersburg.
