On September 29, 2025, a meeting of the University's Scientific and Technical Council was held at SUM, during which research teams reported on the interim results of their projects.
"Today, SUM is implementing a vast number of research projects—from engineering and economics to socio-political ones. R&D volumes have grown over the past four years, from 60 million rubles in 2022 to 350 million rubles as of 2025, a more than fivefold increase. The expansion of the range of fundamental and applied research and work on corporate contracts is being achieved through building competencies in the design of heavy and special-purpose engineering components and assemblies, automation of production processes, the implementation of artificial intelligence, the creation of hardware and software systems and platform solutions for the agro-industrial complex, autonomous unmanned systems, and robotic systems. The university's traditional research areas in socio-economics have significantly strengthened their position. Work is currently ongoing on bidding campaigns to attract funding for contract work from enterprises in the real sector of the economy," noted Vice-Rector Maria Karelina.
Dmitry Nikitin, research fellow at the Engineering Project Management Center, reported on the progress and achievement of planned indicators for the research project "Research, Methodological, and Practical Foundations of Reverse Engineering Process Management in Solving Complex Import Substitution Problems in the Transport Sector of Mechanical Engineering in the Russian Federation."
Sergei Sidorenko, Chief Researcher of the Scientific Activities Department of the Scientific Research Coordination Department, reported on the implementation of the research project "Development of Approaches and Methods for Assessing the Effectiveness of Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research, Taking into Account the Labor Costs Required for Its Implementation."
Vladimir Filatov, Leading Researcher at the Reverse Engineering Laboratory, presented a report on the progress and achievement of planned targets for two research projects:
"Development and substantiation of approaches to the planning and implementation of the introduction, deployment, and organization of the use of autonomous unmanned systems, robotic complexes, and infrastructure networks for communication, navigation, surveillance, and control, ensuring the operation of such systems and complexes, with specified regulatory levels of flight and movement safety of the complexes, and the probability of fulfilling functional tasks"; "Development of scientific, methodological, and practical foundations of reverse engineering for solving complex import substitution problems in the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation."
Denis Serdechny, Associate Professor of the Department of Innovation Management and Senior Research Fellow in the Scientific Activities Department of the Scientific Research Coordination Office, also reported on the progress of two research projects:
A major research project in the agro-industrial complex, "Ensuring the country's food security through the creation of hardware and software systems and intelligent platform digital solutions for the development of agro-industrial technologies across the full life cycle"; "Scientific, methodological, and practical foundations for the development and application of digital and intelligent technologies to ensure sustainable development in the regions of the Russian Federation, including remote and hard-to-reach areas of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic zone."
Evgeny Smirnov, Head of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations, shared the results of the research project "Development of a Concept for the Formation of a Digital Innovative Environment in the Context of Solving the Strategic Task of Achieving Technological Leadership in Russia" and the implementation of the Russian Science Foundation (RSF) grant "Study of Mechanisms for Improving Foreign Economic Relations of the Russian Federation's Agro-Industrial Complex."
Junior researcher Dmitry Rogov of the Scientific Activities Department of the Scientific Research Coordination Department (project topic: "Historical and political characteristics of Russian civilization as a fundamental basis for the formation of the value sovereignty of Russian youth") and head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department Maxim Pletnev (project topic: "Perception and assessment by young audiences of the representation of the value of patriotism on social networks") reported on the interim results of two projects in the field of socio-political sciences, carried out under the supervision of young scientists.
Svetlana Sazanova, Associate Professor of the Department of Institutional Economics, presented a report on the progress and achievement of the planned indicators for the Russian Science Foundation's research project "Multipolar Strategic Management of Firms in the Context of Structural Transformation, Digitalization, and Intellectualization of the Economy" for 2025.
Sergey Chuev, Head of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration and Advisor to the Rector's Office, reported on the results of another RSF research project, "Socioeconomic and Political-Administrative Transformation of Modern Southern Russia. 'New' and 'Old' Regions: Comparative Historical Analysis and Development Prospects."
Maxim Pletnev, Head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department, presented a report on the fulfillment of planned indicators for the second stage of the Russian Science Foundation's scientific project "Heavyweight Polyfunctional Construction Composites of Various Structures for Earthquake-Resistant Construction Based on Man-Made Raw Materials."
Associate Professor of the Department of Statistics Tatyana Pershina presented the interim results of the second stage of the research project "Creating an Interactive Map of Russia's Geothermal Resources" by the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School to the Scientific and Technical Council of the State University of Management.
Dmitry Nikitin, research fellow at the Engineering Project Management Center, presented a report on the achievement of planned indicators for the project "Creation of modern training laboratories for the aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding, and innovative transport industries. Development of key science-intensive technologies and advanced training and retraining of qualified personnel in the field of transport mobility." Dmitry Vladimirovich also reported on the progress of the research project "Development of a methodological basis for a prototype of the ABRIS software and hardware system for managing technical condition monitoring services for oil and gas facilities," implemented as part of the RosGeoTech research school.
Dmitry Rybakov, a specialist at the Engineering Project Management Center, presented a report on the progress and achievement of planned targets for two research projects:
"Development of a methodology for the application of hardware and software systems for autonomous unmanned aerial photography and automatic vectorization technology for its results for construction supervision purposes"; "Analysis of the production and use of robotic devices and systems in the construction industry and demand forecasting under negative, inertial, and innovative scenarios."
Associate Professor of the Department of Sociology, Psychology of Management, and History Karine Aramyan reported on the results of two research projects:
"Development of recommendations for improving the legislative framework for birth rate support measures in Russia"; "Development of proposals for improving the regulatory framework for the implementation of a system of professional standards and its harmonization with the current system of qualification reference books in the new economic conditions."
At the end of the meeting, the council decided to include the All-Russian scientific and practical conference "Sustainable Management: Projects, People, Research" in the SUM's 2025 scientific and technical events plan.
