From September 17 to 20, the first World Youth Festival Gathering took place in Nizhny Novgorod, bringing together approximately 2,000 participants from Russia and 120 other countries. Among them was a delegation from the Novosibirsk Region, including NSU students and graduates.

Nizhny Novgorod, Russia's first youth capital, transformed itself for several days into a platform for international dialogue and the search for new solutions for youth policy development. The gathering's program combined educational and cultural formats: lectures and master classes by Russian and international speakers, concerts, quests, sports games, and excursions. Participants worked across seven key areas: media, creative industries, public administration, entrepreneurship, sports, education and science, digitalization, and IT.

"The gathering is an international platform for cultural exchange and networking. Such events create conditions for long-term collaboration, friendships, and professional connections, and contribute to strengthening the country's image as a hub for youth and business communication," notes Maxim Yemelyanov, a master's student at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at NSU.

According to him, the decision to participate was obvious after the World Youth Festival in Sochi in 2024:

"I made a lot of useful connections back then and spoke to the heads of major Russian companies. This experience helped me implement and promote my ideas. So, when I learned about the new gathering, I immediately applied," Maxim shares.

As part of the program, participants had the opportunity to meet international BRICS business mentors, participate in the launch of a unified international content center uniting bloggers from 34 countries, and establish professional connections with young professionals from various fields.

"I'm glad I had the chance to participate in such a large-scale event, and I'm proud that our country is creating platforms for personal interaction between people from all over the world. I've achieved all the goals I set for myself—in international communication, career, and professional development," concludes Maxim.

The organizers note that the gathering served as a platform for laying the "foundation for the future," where young people demonstrated their commitment to joint initiatives and the development of international cooperation. The next festival will be held in Krasnoyarsk in 2026.

On September 27, the "After Classes" student association fair was held at NSU's academic building. The event brought together numerous clubs and students, who were able to learn about the university's extracurricular activities and choose the ones that best suit their interests.

The hallways of the second floor of the second block were noisy and lively: student groups presented their projects on interactive platforms, and during breaks, guests were treated to musical flash mobs from the NSU Music Club. Fairgoers socialized, participated in activities, and received souvenirs.

Creative groups generated particular interest. The KvARTira Theatre Studio presented interactive performances.

"We're currently planning several public performances and an expressive poetry reading. We're generally involved in contemporary theater arts: we stage productions based on our own scripts, and during our classes, we offer training in movement, vocals, and acting in general," said studio member Sergei Bobkin.

Another station, the NSU Photo Club, attracted attention with two formats at once: a photo drying station and a photo zone.

"The Photo Club is a place where people who love photography gather. It doesn't matter whether you're using a phone or a professional camera—the desire to improve your skills is paramount. We host photo walks, field trips, and, for beginners, lectures on the basics of photography. At "After Class," anyone can hang their work to dry, appreciate others' photos, or have a portrait taken in our photo zone," shared club member Ksenia Sharova.

Additionally, student associations offered quizzes, pantomime, and even accordion playing. All of this gave first-year students and others the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the NSU student community and discover new hobbies.

"After School" isn't just about getting to know the clubs, it's also an opportunity to discover talents, share ideas, and try new things.

Open Talks at NSU is a new format of street psychological lectures. During the month, once a week in the courtyard, open lectures and discussions are held on the most vital and important topics: from procrastination and perfectionism to body language and myths from social networks. The topic of the first meeting was "The Dark Side of Social Networks". The expert was Vladimir Ivanov, a psychologist, psychoanalyst, and Jungian analyst.

Carl Gustav Jung is a Swiss psychologist, the founder of analytical psychology. He believed that the main task of analytical psychology is to interpret archetypal images that arise in patients. One of the archetypes proposed by Jung is the shadow, a rejected and suppressed part of the personality that includes negative qualities: aggression, shame, envy, and others.

Vladimir Ivanov suggested examining the dark side of social networks through the prism of Jung’s teachings.

— The shadow is what I don’t know about myself. Accordingly, the opposition to the shadow is what I know about myself. And this is what Jung called the persona. “Persona” is translated from ancient Greek as a mask. And Jung believed that each of us has many masks. By a mask we do not mean hypocrisy, not that we are hiding behind something. We need a mask to adapt to the world. For example, I am wearing a lecturer’s mask now. When I come home, I will take this mask off and put it aside. A lecturer is my social role here and now. I don’t need it in other places. If I come to the office, I am wearing a psychotherapist’s mask. Accordingly, I use my professional skills, knowledge, experience, abilities, and so on. Let’s look at social networks through the prism of the persona and the shadow, — Vladimir Ivanov began his speech.

The personal task of the social network is to present yourself, your mask as a person and try to show yourself in social networks. Vladimir noted the following features of behavior in social networks and spoke about their consequences.

Anonymity

In social networks, we can remain anonymous and behave in communication differently than in real life. On the one hand, anonymity is freedom. On the other hand, it reduces the level of responsibility, so aggression can arise, which develops into trolling, cyberbullying, and so on.

Envy In social networks, we encounter envy when we see our desires in the news feed that we cannot fulfill. For example, buying a desired thing or a cherished trip. There are two types of envy: black – when jealousy and destructive thoughts are born in us. White envy – transforms jealousy into action, we begin to think constructively, and motivation to achieve what we want appears.

Likes and the thirst for recognition Likes and comments boost our inner confidence and self-image. It is a kind of social acceptance. When we receive likes, we feel that society approves of us. A certain number of comments and hearts under a photo make us feel different. A question to think about: are you posting a photo for someone else or for yourself?

Hate and Projection Hate is an expression of hatred and discontent towards someone, and projection is a psychological mechanism in which a person attributes their own negative thoughts and feelings to other people, often in response to someone else's post. What irritates us in others, we do not accept in ourselves. Sometimes, in order to learn something about yourself, you need to do something you would never agree to, because if you forbid yourself to do this, you will lose the opportunity to learn something new about yourself.

Gold in the ShadowsIt's not just bad qualities that can hide in the shadows. Talents and abilities that we notice in other people, we may suppress in ourselves or not even realize that we have them.

– Look, the father is against his son doing ballet, he makes him do boxing. But the boy doesn't want to. And if you gradually raise a boy like that, his desire, his craving for ballet will gradually sink into the shadows, it will become shadowy. But it's not a bad quality to do dance, right? It's wonderful. Why, why not? But this desire will be suppressed and will remain in the shadows. What if the son turns out to be a wonderful ballet master? This is an example of the fact that not only bad things can be in the shadows, – said Vladimir Ivanov.

Memes Laughter is mostly considered a hysterical reaction to unexpected events, and memes can be a defense mechanism for our psyche. We use them because they allow us to escape from our own experiences, we see in them an opportunity to express what we cannot say in words. Memes are universal: looking at them, we understand that the image and meaning are understandable to many people, thanks to which we feel an emotional connection with others and stop feeling lonely.

Cancel CultureCancel culture is also considered the dark side of social media. People unite to “cancel” a person for their actions, which, in their opinion, violate social norms and values. As a result, the object of condemnation loses their reputation, career and much more. Currently, the tool of cancel culture is social media, it is through them that we learn about what is happening, and sometimes become part of the condemning collective.

— If you want to get to know your shadow sides: take a piece of paper and honestly write down what irritates you in the behavior of other people. Gradually, a list of qualities or characteristics appears that you can get to know a little better and try to learn more about yourself. This practice will help us accept our shadow sides and help in the development of our personality.

Another practice: start a journal of questions, write in it before going to bed what irritated you during the day. In general, irritation is a good indicator that you have most likely stepped into the shadows. This means that there is a response to this behavior inside you. And it is very good to record this, pay attention to it and notice it, – Vladimir concluded.

At the opening, students had a unique opportunity to communicate with the 2GIS team, receive individual consultation, and also take part in a drawing of cool prizes. The new coworking area for study and relaxation is located in the NSU academic building in the 2nd block on the 2nd floor. It is equipped with a marker board, where you can write down and visualize your ideas, solve problems, and much more. This is also the first coworking space at NSU with a TV, which is available to all students – it can be used, for example, to rehearse a report.

— We looked at other areas of colleagues in your university and, of course, when creating the design project, we took into account, first of all, the needs of students: as many sockets as possible and the possibility of privacy. We added a little comfort in the form of small sitting areas, or green holes, as we call them, — shared Victoria Kostenko, 2GIS employer brand promotion specialist. Another interesting feature of the area is pillows in the form of popular emojis from the Friends on the Map app. In March of this year, the university hosted a lecture by NSU graduate, head of the 2GIS product marketing department Semyon Koltsov, who spoke about the creation of this function. With the help of Friends on the Map, you can track the location of friends and family, plan meetings in general chats and much more.

— 2GIS is a well-known company not only in Russia, but also in the world. Its head office is located in Novosibirsk, and many graduates of Novosibirsk State University work in the company. NSU and 2GIS are close friends: the company actively supports the initiatives of our university, and NSU, in turn, supports 2GIS events.

The result is a very bright and beautiful coworking space, equipped with electrical outlets, comfortable chairs and tables, as well as a recreation area, which is important. Judging by the number of students who are there all the time, they really like it, – said Svetlana Dovgal, Director of the Career Development Center (CDC) of NSU.

NSU and 2GIS have been fruitfully cooperating for a long time. The company takes an active part in the "Career Days" event organized by the NSU Career Development Center. Students have the opportunity to go on a tour of the 2GIS office by registering in advance at the Career Development Center. This fall, NSU will also host a lecture by the company's experts "Testing in IT: Modern Approaches and Career Opportunities."

The second day of the TechnoArt science and art festival was no less eventful than the first. At lunchtime, a lecture-film analysis was held: Tamara Chuchuk, a graduate of the Physics Department of NSU, senior laboratory assistant at the G. I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, spoke about the inventions and scientific predictions that were covered in the 1985 film Guest from the Future based on the book of the same name by science fiction writer Kir Bulychev. After all, we are already partly in the future from which Alice flew in. Which inventions and discoveries have been realized, and which are never destined to come true? Robots, voice assistants, control of brain biocurrents – what has become familiar to us? And what is yet to be mastered?

Can, for example, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren start actively launching satellites into space while still in school? Tamara Chuchuk believes that, despite all the difficulties in understanding physics by schoolchildren, this is entirely possible:

— My classmate, who graduated from university a year and a half ago, has already launched a satellite. Therefore, it seems to me that our grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who are passionate about science, may well start launching satellites into space much earlier.

What about the famous myelophone and the ability to read each other's thoughts?

— Have you ever noticed that your thoughts sometimes seem to synchronize with the thoughts of another person? In general, this can be explained by simple laws of physics. Let's take the force of an ampere, which acts on two wires with current, and if the current in both conductors flows in the same direction, then the conductors are attracted to each other. The same is with our thoughts; people who think in the same direction are attracted to each other in every sense, — says Tamara.

After lunch, the guests' attention was drawn to the lecture "Catch Me If You Can" by Tamara Shakirova, a research fellow at the Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS. Unlike the first presentation, when Tamara Chuchuk analyzed fantastic or already-realized inventions from the point of view of physics, Shakirova's lecture focused exclusively on real scientific achievements that allow "traveling" in time. She spoke about methods of dating objects using accelerator mass spectrometry, which allows determining the age of finds with an accuracy of several thousand years. These technologies open up opportunities for scientists to better understand the history of the Earth and the development of life on it.

The process of using an accelerator mass spectrometer to study the age of objects can be imagined as one of the most modern and accurate "time machines". By the way, NSU is home to the only Center for Collective Use in Russia, the "NSU-NNC Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Center". Using this equipment, scientists can calculate the age of various objects with high accuracy. It all starts with specialists taking a sample – be it a piece of bone, wood or other organic matter – and carefully cleaning it from contaminants. Then the sample undergoes chemical treatment and is then burned, releasing carbon dioxide containing carbon 12 and carbon 14, which is necessary for calculations.

— How does carbon fourteen spread, and why is it so important to us? It oxidizes in the atmosphere, turns into carbon dioxide and through photosynthesis gets into organic compounds — trees, plants, fruits, etc. And then along the food chain it gets to animals and people who get it with food. It is also found in seas and oceans, because it can dissolve in water. When an animal or organic matter lives, it continuously absorbs this carbon fourteen; its concentration is always maintained at the same level as in the atmosphere. But when the organism dies, its intake from the atmosphere stops. And since carbon fourteen is radioactive and decays, it decreases in the same bones or dead trees. If we know how much carbon is in the atmosphere and how much is contained in the bones of an animal or bark, we can calculate when this animal lived and establish the exact date, — says Tamara.

After Tamara Shakirova's lecture, it became clear that incredibly complex and precise scientific developments can become a kind of "time machine". While science fiction continues to give us dreams of traveling to the past and future, real science is already finding ways to delve into our past and reveal its secrets using technologies that until recently seemed impossible.

But one thing remains constant: scientific achievements, although they offer incredible opportunities, require attention to detail, responsibility and a desire to seek answers to questions that concern humanity.

TechnoArt-2025 has once again demonstrated that science and art can go hand in hand, opening up new horizons both in the world of knowledge and in the world of prospects.

At the end of August, NSU hosted the School of Curators, a training where students learn to be real mentors for first-year students. Here, future curators get acquainted with the tasks and challenges that await them ahead. We talked to Grigory Polivkin, the organizer of the School, about what it means to be a curator and what the school program consists of.

The school's goal was to introduce and involve the most active students in the "business" of curating. The challenges were the project topics that the newly arrived participants had to develop using the skills and experience they already had.

In order to teach curators to interact with a wide variety of people and cope with any critical situations, the school conducts psychological training.

— They analyze various cases and give psychological tasks like "hedgehog cut". Team board games are also important, where the outcome of the game depends on everyone. And, of course, these are projects in which guys from different faculties analyze various topics, bringing their unique experience, — says Grigory Polivkin.

The main channel of communication for the guys for quick questions and support is the curator chat. Also, once every one or two weeks, meetings are held at which all the curators of the faculty or institute meet with the coordinator to discuss difficult tasks and find joint solutions. In addition, there is a mentoring system, thanks to which a senior and experienced curator can supervise a newcomer, and joint informal meetings to unite the curatorial corps itself.

As in any business, new curators make a number of common mistakes in one way or another: they often try to be “perfect”, solve all problems alone, or, on the contrary, fall into familiarity. Other mistakes include paying attention only to active students or ignoring feedback.

— It is important to remember: a curator is not a superhero. You need to be able to delegate issues to specialists and be attentive to everyone in the group, — Grigory shares his experience.

The main tool for assessing the work of curators is anonymous student surveys, which ask not only "do you like the curator?", but also "how comfortable are you in the group?", "do you know where to go with a problem?". Reporting on events, analysis of group activity and reflection of the curators themselves are also taken into account.

Grigory is particularly inspired by the history of the Geological and Geophysical Faculty: at first they did not take curatorship seriously, but eventually created an entire official community with its own charter, rules, and system of senior and junior curators. This shows that even skepticism can be turned into strength if you work together.

“The ideal curator is not a teacher or a supervisor, but an older friend, mentor and integrator,” notes Grigory.

It is important not only to be close to a first-year student, but also to be able to hear him, support him, and guide him.

“It’s important not to sit around waiting for problems to arise, but to create an environment where it’s difficult for them to arise. Organize events, meet new people, maintain engagement,” he adds.

Grigory also notes that it is important for a curator to be empathetic and sincere, to be able to take responsibility for others and to be reliable, because a curator is the “entry point” for a student, first-year students turn to him first.

For those who only dream of becoming a curator, the organizer advises:

— Be active, don’t be shy about offering ideas, but always remember that there are rules and etiquette at NSU. Sometimes your ideas may diverge from them — it’s important to find a balance.

The NSU School of Curators is not just a training. It is a space where new leaders are born, where senior friends and mentors appear who can support you in your first steps at the university.

A photo exhibition dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Russian scientist, brilliant organizer, founding father of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, Academician Mikhail Alekseevich Lavrentyev, "Thank you, Mikhail Alekseevich! You did it!" opened as part of the 10th All-Russian Conference "Lavrentyev Readings in Mathematics, Mechanics and Physics" on August 25. Its exposition consisted of about a hundred rare photographs revealing the personality of this multifaceted person who made a significant contribution to the development of Russian science. The initiator of the exhibition was the dean Faculty of Information Technology Novosibirsk State University Mikhail Lavrentyev. His idea was supported by the conference organizing committee.

— We decided to make the exhibition not formal, but warmer, more homely. That is why there are very few "ceremonial" photographs in the exhibition and no official "ceremonial" shots at all. That is why we came up with such a name, which reflects the soul of Akademgorodok, which has taken place and continues to develop. It is at this conference that it is appropriate to recall how its glorious history began and to pay tribute to the unique personality of Mikhail Alekseevich, thanks to whom this grandiose project was brought to life, — said Dean of the NSU FIT, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Lavrentyev.

The photographs show Mikhail Alekseevich Lavrentyev in official settings and with his family, in classrooms and at construction sites, during scientific experiments and on vacation, on expeditions and at official receptions, on a ski trip and playing with his grandchildren. Around him are colleagues and students, cosmonauts and politicians, high-ranking military personnel and students. In one of the photo portraits, the academician is captured with his pet, a fox terrier. Many of the photographs are being shown for the first time.

— The exhibition presents printed photographs not only from the family archive, some of the originals were provided by the Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Exhibition Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Andrey Guryevich Marchuk, who has an extensive photo and film archive, also responded. Thanks to such support, it was possible to collect a huge database of rare photographs that were processed and enlarged. A significant contribution to the formation of the exhibition was made by Lyudmila Megaeva and Anastasia Surkova, who were engaged in the selection and preparation of photographs for the exhibition. The printing part of the work was carried out at NSU. It should be noted that not all of the selected photographs are presented at the exhibition. Some have remained "behind the scenes" for now — we tried to choose the most interesting and expressive ones. It seems to me that we have created a very interesting exhibition, — Mikhail Lavrentyev explained.

Behind each photo there is an interesting story from the life of an outstanding scientist and Akademgorodok itself as a whole. A photo of the academician taken several years before the founding of Akademgorodok during the work to drain swamps in Ukraine can rightfully be considered historical. Mikhail Alekseevich Lavrentyev proposed using wet gunpowder for these purposes. Earlier, his colleague and comrade Nikolai Maksimovich Syty discovered that such gunpowder has detonation properties, that is, it is also an explosive, albeit non-flammable, substance. At that time, the disposal of gunpowder was a big problem and was a dangerous process. Under the leadership of Mikhail Aleksandrovich Lavrentyev, significant volumes of this waste were successfully used to drain swampy areas. Mikhail Lavrentyev notes that to a certain extent this contributed to the creation of Akademgorodok: at that time, Nikita Khrushchev headed the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Excellent relations were established between the future General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee and Mikhail Alekseevich Lavrentyev, and years later the party leader, who became the head of state, supported the project to build a city of scientists in Novosibirsk and in every way contributed to the creation of Akademgorodok, allocating the necessary financial resources for its construction and the resolution of contradictions between its creators and the leadership of the Novosibirsk region.

– Mikhail Alekseevich was called an “academician in the Kirsov boots” for a reason. He not only delved into all the details of the construction of institutions, infrastructure and residential buildings of Akademgorodok. It could be seen at the construction site, as evidenced by several photographs taken at the construction site of the Institute of Hydrodynamics, which was later named after him. His life is inseparable from the history of Akademgorodok, therefore, in the photographs that captured Mikhail Alekseevich in the circle of friends and associates, we see how the Akademgorodok acquired the features we know and how he was many decades ago – one -story houses in the Golden Valley, surrounded by wooden fences and an almost complete absence of roads; The institutions under construction, the picturesque surroundings, the small house of the forester, where for the first time Mikhail Alekseevich was placed with his family. The construction of a two -story spacious house, which was built for Mikhail Alekseevich by order of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, also fell into a photograph. But in this house, the founder of Akademgorodok and his wife Vera Evgenievna did not live long – they returned to the forester house, who underwent reconstruction and became a little more comfortable. Nevertheless, there is a picture in the exposition in which Mikhail Alekseevich hosts guests in a new house. In one of the pictures, we see an academician at a dressed up New Year tree playing in Sharades. But much more photos with a forester house. Here is Mikhail Alekseevich and Alexei Pavlovich Okladnikov clearing snow, here the academician plays with his grandson on the snowball, here he is with his colleagues on a walk. Also, according to the pictures, you can see how, during several reconstructions, this modest house changed, which for many associates of the academician became a point of attraction and a place of pleasant meetings, ”said Mikhail Lavrentiev.

Among the rare photographs is a photo taken at the celebration of Mikhail Alekseevich Lavrentyev's 60th birthday, where his colleagues present him with a huge cake with 60 burning candles. In another photo, the academician is captured shoulder-deep in snow. This photo was taken during the installation of TNT charges for an experiment involving explosions. Next to it is a photo of a yurt set up in deep snow. It was this yurt that served as the academician's field shelter during one of his expeditions. The exhibition also features photos from other expeditions – to Baikal, Sakhalin, Kazakhstan, Yakutia… As Mikhail Lavrentyev said, Mikhail Alekseevich loved to travel, work "in the field", and spend time in nature.

A special place in the exhibition is occupied by photographs where the founder of Akademgorodok is captured with famous people. His circle of friends was incredibly wide, it included world-famous scientists, government officials, senior military officials, and heads of enterprises. And Mikhail Alekseevich often became the life of the party – at official receptions, in his office, and in informal settings. Two photographs in this part of the exhibition are noteworthy. In one of them, Mikhail Alekseevich is flying in the cabin of an airplane together with three cosmonauts – Frank Borman (USA), German Titov (USSR), and Konstantin Feoktistov (USSR). In the other photo, Academician Lavrentyev is cooking fish soup on a campfire in the open air in the company of three other cosmonauts – Alexei Leonov, Georgy Beregovoy, and Neil Armstrong – the man who first stepped on the surface of the Moon.

It is assumed that the exhibition audience will not be limited to conference participants. Some of the photographs will be transferred to the Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The collection of photographs will also be received by the Exhibition Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. An exhibition is planned for the House of Scientists. Perhaps, a permanent exhibition will be placed in the Technopark.

Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Scientific Director of the Institute of Thermophysics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Vladimirovich Alekseenko:

— The exhibition is interesting both from the point of view of the history of science and from the position of photography as a carrier of information. I am seeing many of the pictures for the first time, and they, it seems to me, reflect the scale of Academician Lavrentyev’s personality. Of great interest are the photographs related to the foundation and development of Akademgorodok. In these pictures we see the difficulties its first residents faced, but looking at them, we see optimism and faith in the future. Such photographs do not leave anyone indifferent. Akademgorodok became a unique project of that time, which was broadcast in other countries, and this experience is invaluable for future generations. Therefore, photographs from those years, capturing these significant events, should be available to everyone interested in the history of Akademgorodok.

Director of the Institute of Hydrodynamics named after. M.A. Lavrentiev SB RAS Evgeniy Valerievich Ermanyuk:

— Our institute has two photo albums that we show to distinguished foreign and domestic guests, but at this exhibition I saw many photographs that are not even in our archives. These are rare shots that are of particular value. Our institute has contributed to this exhibition by providing photographs from its archives, which we have only recently begun to sort through, but have already discovered very interesting photos. I am sure that this exhibition will decorate many conferences. Our institute has preserved the memorial office of Mikhail Alekseevich Lavrentyev. I would be happy to decorate the part of the building where it is located with these photographs.

The conference will be held on August 25-29 at NSU in the main scientific areas: mathematical problems of continuum mechanics, physics and mechanics of high-energy processes, mechanics of liquids and gases, mechanics of deformable solids. Participants can expect plenary reports, as well as short oral presentations followed by discussion at the poster session.

The Mathematics Center in Akademgorodok has launched a podcast about mathematics and mathematicians. The first episode, “Mom, I’m a Mathematician,” was released in June of this year. Its authors are Timur Nasybullov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Deputy Dean Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU, Deputy Director of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, winner of the All-Russian competition of educators "Knowledge.Lecturer", and Daria Lytkina, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Deputy Dean of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of NSU, Deputy Director of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, together with guests – leading researchers of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences – discuss various aspects of work in mathematics.

— Several stars aligned, which led to the creation of the podcast. Firstly, one of my main tasks is to develop education and research at the faculty. How to do this? You can open new educational programs and launch new research groups. Since 2019, we have already done a lot of work in this direction, which allowed us to improve the quality of education and increase the amount of research. Now we want to engage in the popularization of our scientific achievements, and the podcast is a small step in this direction. Secondly, as a creative person, I want to create something. Every year I try something new for myself, and this year the choice fell on the podcast. Thirdly, this year I became the winner of the "Knowledge Lecturer" competition and received a cash prize, which I decided to use to record the podcast, ”shared Timur Nasybullov.

The podcast is released once a month. There are currently three episodes.

· In the first issueThe authors discussed the general idea of the podcast, as well as the topics of future episodes: people's relationships with mathematics, love and hate for mathematics, signs of a successful scientist, mathematical Olympiads and awards, the oddities of scientists, scientific tourism, etc.

· In the second issueThe authors talked about the path of a mathematician: school, university, work, scientific problems that mathematicians solve, etc. The guest of the issue was Nikolai Alekseevich Bazhenov, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, head of the research group "Digitalization of mathematical models and classification problems in computability theory" of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok.

· In the third issueThe authors discussed women in mathematics: the proportions between men and women in mathematics, the choice of profession, scientific awards, special treatment, etc. The guest of the issue was Maria Aleksandrovna Grechkoseeva, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Head of the Algebra Laboratory at the S. L. Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

— In future episodes, we will definitely talk about mathematical Olympiads, scientific tourism — trips related to the work of a scientist to different cities and countries, we will discuss the hierarchy in the world of science and academic degrees, we will definitely touch on the topic of the relationship between mathematics and applied developments. Now, with Daria Viktorovna, we are planning to record at least 10 episodes, in the future we will look at the audience's response, — Timur Nasybullov added.

Since 2021, the Student Tourism project has been uniting students and young people, giving them the opportunity to travel and get to know the country's leading universities. Every year, participants travel to various regions of the country – from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. Universities across Russia open the doors of their campuses to travelers, offering unique tourist programs developed on the student-to-student principle. They include popular science routes, master classes, events and much more. This contributes not only to broadening the horizons of program participants, but also to the development of scientific, historical and sports tourism.

The main point of the route was Novosibirsk State University. The blog tour participants were accommodated in the new dormitory #4/2. Over the course of two days, the children were introduced to the campus, given excursions to the NSU history museums, the Evolution of the Earth and New Archeology RECs. The children were especially interested in the excursion to the accelerator mass spectrometry laboratory, where they were explained how scientific research works are carried out. In the Startup Studio and the Demonstration Center of the Center for Information Technologies, the bloggers were shown smart developments created by university students. The Ministry of Culture of the Novosibirsk Region and the Novosibirsk Museum of Local History gave the blog tour participants a walking tour of the Akademgorodok, and the children were also shown the science town from the NSU dome, where at a height of 63 meters from the observation deck a breathtaking view of the Ob Sea, the campus and endless forests opened up. The journey ended with a PISHNIK from the Advanced Engineering School of NSU, where bloggers and students competed in volleyball and engineering games on the sand.

Kirill Zhigulin, the author of a blog dedicated to Russia and patriotism, noted the uniqueness of Novosibirsk and its potential.

— I was particularly struck by the fact that it is the youth who are building the future of Novosibirsk through science and sports. NSU demonstrates high indicators in education and scientific activity. I am sure that Novosibirsk is a unique brand of the region with huge potential, and the future here is built by young people and NSU graduates. I think more and more young people will come here not only for scientific, but also historical, sports and aviation tourism. This is a really cool and unique idea, — Kirill shared.

Karina Zakharova from Kazan, media ambassador of “Student Tourism”, spoke about her experience.

— This is my first blog tour as part of Student Tourism, although I have been actively traveling for about four years and have two blogs. Previously, I had only been to Novosibirsk in transit, and now I had the opportunity to get to know the city and the university. I was impressed by the VivaAvia festival and the NSU museums, which are truly worth attention. NSU is a university with a developed student culture, startups and great potential. Despite my attachment to my hometown, if the opportunity presented itself, I would gladly study at NSU. I want to wish everyone to travel and discover Russia through Student Tourism — it is a great budget option, — said Karina.

Georgy Favorsky, media ambassador of "Student Tourism", blogger, student of the I. Ya. Yakovlev Chelyabinsk State Pedagogical University, emphasized that he values his university very much, but NSU also impressed him very much.

— All the events were very rich and interesting. I especially liked the excursion to the museum, where they study earth rocks and you could touch all the exhibits. The atmosphere was very friendly, you could feel the real care and support from the participants and organizers of the program. Novosibirsk, as the third most populous city in Russia, really has great potential. The university has a high level of education, comparable to the leading metropolitan universities. Now I am sure that Novosibirsk is the center of Siberian civilization, and I recommend everyone who is considering moving or studying in another city to pay attention to this wonderful city and university, — added Gosha.

The Student Tourism program continues to unite young people from different regions of Russia, allowing them to expand their horizons and participate in the intellectual and cultural life of the country's leading universities. NSU, with its unique combination of science, sports and innovation, confidently occupies one of the leading positions in this youth movement, inviting students from all corners of the country to become part of the large Siberian educational family.
