On November 27, the State University of Management hosted the 6th International Scientific and Practical Conference "Transport and Logistics for Sustainable Development of Territories, Business, and the State (Growth Drivers, Trends, and Barriers)." The event, timed to coincide with the 85th anniversary of transport education at the State University of Management, is held annually as part of the Russian Federation's Transport Workers' Day celebrations.

The conference received over 170 submissions from authors from Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, China, Vietnam, Syria, and Turkmenistan—a testament to the growing international interest in the transport and logistics agenda.

The plenary session, held in the University's Scientific Library, was opened by Alexander Vasilchenko, Director of the Department of State Policy in Automobile and Urban Passenger Transport at the Russian Ministry of Transport. Professor Alexey Stepanov, Head of the Department of Transport Complex Management at the State University of Management, moderated the session.

Participants discussed key areas of development in the transport industry: the development of logistics systems within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the modernization of passenger transport, personnel training, and the implementation of digital solutions within the framework of the "Logistics 4.0" concept. Special attention was paid to the transformation of professions in the face of technological challenges.

Experts from leading transport and scientific organizations presented research on assessing passenger service quality, integrating inter-industry balances into the transport system, and addressing the challenges of the logistics business in the modern world. Presentations focused on international experience, ranging from cold chain optimization in China to adapting mining equipment to Syrian conditions and modeling transport flows in Central Asia.

Representatives from industry companies added practical significance to the discussions. In particular, the international logistics operator Tablogix discussed current trends and offered internship opportunities to GUU students. Project-based learning cases implemented by the First Management School in partnership with JSC IERT, the DREAM AUTO auto service group, and other industrial partners were also presented, including potential collaboration with NAMI, Russia's leading scientific and engineering center for the transport industry.

The day concluded with a session for young scientists, where GUU students presented research on topics such as the integration of trams and the Moscow Central Diameters, the use of personal mobility devices, the application of artificial intelligence at airports, the development of logistics outsourcing in e-commerce, the specifics of Minsk's transport systems, and the prospects for mobility in Vietnam.

The conference once again confirmed the status of the State University of Management as one of the leading platforms for dialogue between science, government, and business in the field of transport and logistics.
