On November 18, the State University of Management hosted the All-Russian Forum of Higher Education Teachers, "Academic Community 2025," for the second consecutive year. It brought together more than 700 higher education educators and experts from across the country.
The meeting focused on key issues related to the development of human resources in higher education in the context of the system's transformation and the implementation of the national projects "Youth and Children" and "Personnel."
The forum's plenary session opened with a video message from Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation: "It's no coincidence that the forum is being held on the eve of Higher Education Teachers' Day. I want to thank each of you for being Teachers with a capital T, who not only impart knowledge to students but also inspire them by example and set a model for active citizenship. I wish for all of us to continue to work together to create and develop a sustainable foundation for the prosperity of our country."
Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, delivered a welcoming speech, emphasizing the importance of the event and the opportunities it offers.
"This is our second year hosting the forum. And it's entirely logical: we're a fairly mature university, tracing our roots back to the Alexandrovsky Commercial School and have been training managers for various industries, businesses, government agencies, and more for over a century. Over the years, we've had a huge number of faculty members. I've been in this field my whole life, and I've always been surprised that we don't have our own professional holiday. But for five years now, this day has been around, gaining weight and tradition. Today is an important day when we can discuss issues and present a resolution so that leaders understand the challenges and solutions," concluded Vladimir Vitalyevich.
Elena Lyapuntsova, Chair of the International Public Organization "League of Higher Education Teachers" (League), spoke about the specifics of this year's forum.
"This year, we're using various event formats at all our venues to comprehensively discuss existing challenges and the opportunities we want to address. Today, after the plenary session, we won't be dispersing to our individual classrooms, but will instead continue working in small groups in a single space where everyone can make their proposals. Based on the results of today's meeting, we'll develop a resolution, which we'll later submit to the relevant ministry," Elena Vyacheslavovna reminded.
Also speaking at the plenary session were Azamat Tlisov, member of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation; Irina Danilchenko, head of the department for interaction with educational organizations of higher education at the Russian Society "Knowledge"; Larisa Sivolap, rector of the A.I. Kuindzhi Mariupol State University; and Elena Okunkova, rector of the Nizhny Novgorod Institute for Education Development.
Following the plenary session, participants continued their work through strategic sessions and roundtables, participated in the All-Russian scientific and practical conference "Managing the Development of Higher Education Human Resources," and attended open legal consultations, master classes on media literacy, and the use of AI in creating educational content.
The first day of the forum concluded with a festive concert featuring over a hundred performers. The event was organized by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation jointly with the All-Russian Public Organization for the Promotion of Higher Education "League of Higher Education Teachers" and the State University of Management.
