The Moscow Startup Summit was held at SberCity, where the "SPbPU Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development Model" was presented in the "Best University Practice" category as part of the Startup Summit Awards competition. It was ranked among the top three best practices for developing technological entrepreneurship. Over 100 Russian universities participated in the competition.

The project was prepared and presented by staff from the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" – Alexey Efimov, Executive Director of the Polytech Innovation Support and Development Fund and Associate Professor of the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship, and Artur Kireev, Acting Director of the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship and Associate Professor of the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship.

The awards to the SPbPU PISh representatives were presented by Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

The Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship is a scientific, methodological, and coordinating center for the development of technological entrepreneurship at SPbPU. It actively participates in the development of the university and national ecosystem of technological entrepreneurship.

This practice aims to create an ecosystem of technological innovation that supports the emergence and development of new ideas, projects, and technology startups, and is focused on the development of both small and large innovative enterprises in national and international markets.

The ecosystem brings together structures and activities that help students become familiar with entrepreneurship, develop the necessary skills, and implement both their own projects and build a portfolio.

The model includes 4 levels of involvement of students and university staff in entrepreneurship.

Promoting Technological Entrepreneurship Development Scaling/Professional Training in Technological Entrepreneurship Internationalization

The goal of university-wide educational events is to develop students' basic soft skills necessary for entrepreneurship, as well as project management skills.

The second level is attended by students interested in defending their final theses in the "Startup as a Diploma" format, as well as participants in various competitive programs and accelerators.

An expert council supports students during the preparation of their final qualifying work as a startup. Defenses in the "Final Qualification as a Startup" format have been held at the Polytechnic University since 2021. A total of 59 students have defended their theses in this format.

The next stage is training specialists in a specialized master's program in technological entrepreneurship at the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship and the University of Entrepreneurs.

During their studies, students are given the opportunity to create and develop their own project, which could later become the basis for their own business. Their final project is either a technology startup or a research project. Upon completion of their studies, master's students present a portfolio of completed projects or a startup ready for launch.

The fourth level is working with projects with the aim of bringing them to the international level.

The goal of the international polytechnic accelerator is to select and develop projects for subsequent submission to the largest accelerators in China, India, Brazil, and the Middle East.

The overall goal of the model is to create a sustainable, end-to-end innovation environment that unites education, science, technology, and business, facilitates the generation and implementation of technology startups, and trains specialists capable of entrepreneurship in knowledge-intensive industries and digital transformation.

The model builds a continuous, practice-oriented trajectory from idea to scaling through direct interaction with industry and venture capital funds. This transforms Polytechnic University into a unified ecosystem where students at various stages of their studies can create projects with market potential.

Winning the competition once again confirmed the validity of SPbPU's strategy for developing technological entrepreneurship. The Russian Government views university technological entrepreneurship as one of the drivers for creating the conditions for achieving technological leadership. In this regard, one of the key objectives is to better familiarize the university's research teams with the opportunities for commercializing applied research results through startups, shared Artur Kireev.

Alexey Efimov added: "The Moscow Startup Summit Awards demonstrated that the most in-demand models for developing university technology entrepreneurship are systemic models of end-to-end engagement and support for startup initiatives, aimed at developing the university ecosystem in collaboration with educational and industrial partners."

The 11th International Arctic Legal Forum, "Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Arctic: Legal Aspects," was held in St. Petersburg. The forum, dedicated to the fundamental challenges of legal support for Arctic development, brought together senators, deputies, government representatives, business leaders, academics, lawyers, and students.

Andrey Rudskoy, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Chairman of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, delivered a welcoming address at the plenary session. He noted the historical significance of the Arctic for Russia and proposed making the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences a permanent venue for the forum.

The forum paid special attention to young people. The Arctic Legal Hack, a student hackathon, was held at the historic Zifergauz. Five teams from universities in St. Petersburg and Tyumen worked on a pressing issue: "How to organize solid municipal waste management in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the Arctic?"

A jury, headed by Sergey Karasev, Deputy Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, evaluated the submitted project initiatives. The winning team was the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University team, which included first-year master's students from the Graduate School of Public Administration, Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade: Ekaterina Suleimanova, Danil Neustroev, Artem Yemelyanov, Maxim Svilpov, Marina Korlyakova, and Valeria Listova, a student from the Graduate School of Service and Trade. Natalia Putintseva, Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Public Administration, and Sergey Timofeev, Senior Lecturer, served as consultants.

Participating in the hackathon allowed us to demonstrate our management skills and approach the situation comprehensively, taking into account a number of constraints. The topic of solid municipal waste management in the harsh Arctic conditions was challenging, but interesting to explore. A wide variety of ideas emerged during the process. We thank our mentors for their support and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug representative office in St. Petersburg for the opportunity to participate in such an event and influence the resolution of a relevant and real-world case, noted Ekaterina Suleimanova.

At the XI International Arctic Legal Forum in St. Petersburg, our team successfully presented a solution to an interesting and useful case. We put in a lot of effort, so we're very pleased that our project was noticed and appreciated! added Marina Korlyakova.

Following the forum, recommendations will be prepared for the Russian Government that could influence actual legislation.

A team from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, consisting of fourth-year students Alexander Kolosov and Daniil Milyutin, majoring in "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures" at the Civil Engineering Institute, won the finals of the Alabuga BIM competition in information modeling technology.

The "Alabuga BIM" competition aims to identify and support future professionals capable of applying advanced BIM technologies to the design of modern infrastructure. Fifty talented students from 14 Russian regions competed for the title of best BIM designer.

The competition was organized by Alabuga Development and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Lilia Talipova, a senior lecturer at the Higher School of Pedagogics and Design, served as the expert and developer of the SPbPU competition task.

The competition task required participants to design a miniature special economic zone (SEZ) and accommodate three residents. Each team was assigned a development site with specific technical requirements.

The result of the work was a detailed visualization of the adopted design solutions and a project defense before an expert committee.

Following the competition, the SPbPU team, led by Alexander Mitin, assistant professor at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil, and Road Construction of the Civil Engineering Institute, took first place.

"The experience of participating in this competition was extremely positive. During the in-person stage, we were given a fairly extensive task, which required us to almost completely redesign our original models. Thanks to a well-thought-out plan and coordinated teamwork, we were able to fully complete the task. It was very interesting to work on the concept of our own SEZ during the remote stage, and equally exciting to accommodate new residents during the in-person stage," noted Daniil Milyutin.

"Participating in the Alabuga BIM Championship is an invaluable experience, offering the opportunity to test your knowledge and skills under time constraints. It's especially gratifying to win for the second year in a row. The competition's updated project format allowed us to demonstrate not only our technical capabilities but also to showcase an example of a well-designed SEZ concept with compelling architectural and design solutions," commented Alexander Kolosov.

A team of students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University won the All-Russian Student Olympiad "Thermal Power Engineering-2025."

The event took place at Ivanovo State Power Engineering University named after V.I. Lenin and brought together over 70 participants from nine leading Russian universities. SPbPU was represented at the Olympiad by students from the Institute of Power Engineering's Higher School of Nuclear and Thermal Energy: Anna Artser, Elina Denezhkina, Alexander Kovalenko, Artem Petrov, and Nikita Semchenkov. The team was led by Alexey Trinchenko, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Nuclear and Thermal Energy.

Students completed challenging tasks in key areas of thermal power engineering: technical thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, boiler systems and steam generators, superchargers, and fluid dynamics. The competition was not only distinguished by its variety of problems but also demanded flexible thinking, a deep theoretical understanding, and the ability to adapt quickly to unexpected conditions.

Three days of intense intellectual competition bore fruit: the Polytechnic students took first place in the team competition, demonstrating a high level of preparation. Nikita Semchenkov and Anna Artser won prizes in the individual competition.

An Olympiad is always a test of your ability to think outside the box. We understood that there would be a variety of problems, so we tried to cover all the topics during our preparation. However, we still encountered problems we'd never encountered before. In such a situation, the key is not to fuss or worry, but to calmly recall all the relevant formulas and try to solve at least part of the problem to score the maximum points. It's important to start preparing early, and team discussions are the key to success. I believe these factors helped us achieve a solid result. And, of course, the most important thing is to believe in yourself and the team, not to worry, to give it your all, and to calmly await the results," shared Anna Artser.

Nikita Semchenkov noted that the main challenge was the need to quickly adapt to new formulations: "The hardest part of participating in the Olympiad wasn't even the problem solving itself, but the need to adapt very quickly. There are virtually no standard problems at the Olympiad: every year you'll encounter something new, sometimes even unexpected formulations or perspectives on classical processes. You often have to combine different calculation methods on the fly, recall related subjects, and adapt to non-standard conditions. You can't prepare for such an Olympiad using notes. But you can develop what really helps: a deep understanding of theory, teamwork, and the ability to keep a cool head. Often, the winner isn't the one who knows more, but the one who gets their bearings faster and doesn't get confused when faced with a non-standard problem."

The SPbPU team's victory at the 2025 Thermal Power Engineering Olympiad was a significant achievement and confirmation of the high quality of engineer training in thermal power engineering. This success underscores the importance of systematic educational efforts, teamwork, and an understanding of fundamental engineering disciplines, and strengthens the university's position among the leaders of Russian engineering.

For the second year, the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking agency, which publishes a family of international university rankings, together with the American Schmidt Science Fellows foundation, has published a ranking assessing the effectiveness of universities in interdisciplinary research – THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026 (ISR).

This year, Polytechnic University is featured in this ranking for the first time and immediately entered the top 400 universities worldwide for interdisciplinary research. Among Russian universities, SPbPU shares 10th and 11th place with Kazan Federal University. A total of 1,267 higher education institutions worldwide participated in this year's ranking, including 51 from Russia.

"Our university emphasizes interdisciplinary research as a driver of progress and the formation of the university of the future. Innovative projects such as the high-tech production of power engineering components demonstrate the synergy of competencies in digital modeling, materials science, and energy. Polytechnic University also promotes interdisciplinary approaches in education. The MetaCampus Polytechnic University virtual system creates the conditions for acquiring comprehensive skills in digital technologies, architecture, and management. These are just a few examples reflecting the university's high level of technological development and motivating teams from various fields to unite to create world-class developments," commented SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

In today's world, scientific breakthroughs rarely occur in a narrow, isolated field. It is at the intersection of disciplines that the most daring ideas and solutions are born. Interdisciplinary research at our university is not just a trendy trend, but a fundamental principle that allows us to create synergies and open new horizons, noted Vice Rector for Human Resources Maria Vrublevskaya.

The ISR methodology is based on an analysis of 11 indicators divided into three groups corresponding to the life cycle of a research project: inputs (19% of the total weight), ongoing activities (process, 16% of the total weight), and outputs (65% of the total weight). Within these groups, indicators such as funding for interdisciplinary research, including from industry, administrative support and promotion, as well as the quantity and quality of cross-disciplinary scientific publications were assessed.
