Students and graduates from 33 leading technical universities presented their ideas for Russia's digital economy at IT CAMP 2025, an educational program that annually helps young people find employment in the country's largest companies. Ksenia Eremina, a student at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, took first place as part of the IT_fountain team following the public defense of her projects.

The summer youth program IT CAMP is held with the support of the Scientific and Technological University "Sirius" for the fifth year in a row. Together with Gazprom Neft, its partners are 28 Russian technology companies, including: "Astra Group", P7, YADRO, Orion soft, "Trukonf", "Rostelecom", "Uralchem", SberTech and others.

"We created IT CAMP as a platform where talents and technologies intersect," said Leonid Potapov, head of the IT CAMP program. "Every year, out of several thousand students who pass the selection, a hundred future leaders of the digital industry meet here with those who determine its development today. Two weeks of complete immersion is an ideal environment for the birth of new ideas and the beginning of a brilliant career. We give young specialists the opportunity not just to find a job, but to find their place at the forefront of the Russian IT industry."

Participants of IT CAMP 2025 united into project teams and worked together to solve business cases related to the development of Russian IT products in the field of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and industrial automation.

For two weeks, young specialists studied technology trends together with experts from IT companies. Based on the new knowledge, the teams developed their own digital ideas for business. Following the defense of their projects before the jury, the best graduates joined the talent pool of IT CAMP partner companies, and 35 of them received offers from Gazprom Neft.

"Gazprom Neft already has more than ten thousand specialists with IT competencies, and the demand for IT personnel continues to grow," said Anton Dumin, IT Director of Gazprom Neft. "Over the years of IT CAMP, several hundred of its graduates have gone from beginners to middle developers, analysts and architects. Most of them are now working in our IT cluster. We expect that the share of young people in our team will grow by another 5-6 percent in the next two years."

"University education lays a fundamental foundation, forms a broad outlook and teaches systemic thinking," says Ilya Dementyev, Rector of Gazprom Neft Corporate University. "This is a necessary, but not always sufficient stage for starting a career in a high-tech company. Projects such as IT CAMP allow you to supplement the knowledge you received at the university. Here, in conditions close to real ones, students not only gain applied skills, but can also synchronize their level of training with our current needs. We see this as an effective tool that helps young specialists make a smooth transition from theory to practice."

The only representative of the Polytechnic University at IT CAMP, Ksenia Eremina, graduated from the PhysMech Institute with a bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. According to the girl, she decided to do something related to IT in her master's degree program and chose the Gazprom Neft and Polytechnic Institute's corporate master's program "Enterprise IT Infrastructure" at IKNK.

"Thanks to the corporate Master's program, I got to IT CAMP," Ksenia shared. "Our project was called "Model for assessing IT solutions in the oil industry." The goal was to optimize the process of selecting fields and generating project documentation. We developed a product based on LLM agents to automate one of the business processes related to document flow. Our team was made up of managers and specialists involved in analytics in IT products, so each participant was full of ideas. As a result of the discussions, we were able to come to a common vision of the solution and implement it. I am grateful to the guys for being able to unite, everyone gave 100 percent, thanks to which our team achieved such high results. I would like to especially thank our team mentor Daniil Rochev, who supported and inspired us. I would also like to thank Oleg Felixovich Mikhailov, former head of the development department at the CompMechLab laboratory at SPbPU, for the opportunities he provided and for believing in me as a specialist. I would also like to especially mention Igor Valerievich Nikiforov, a teacher at the Higher School of Software Engineering, and thank him for supporting students in all their endeavors."

IT CAMP is an all-Russian educational program that is included in the events of the Decade of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. IT CAMP is held every summer at the Sirius University of Science and Technology. Over the past five years, more than 10,000 students have taken part in the selection, and more than 440 young IT specialists have graduated from the program.

In 2025, the program for the first time combined two educational tracks – for university students and young IT specialists from large industry companies. The winners among students joined the talent pool of Russian technology companies, and three winning teams among young IT specialists were automatically enrolled in the final of the IT championship of the oil industry.

The event was organized by the All-Russian public organization "United Federation of Ultralight Aviation Sports of Russia" with the support of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation.

The purpose of the championship is to identify the strongest athletes to form a list of candidates for the Russian Federation sports teams to prepare for and participate in international sports competitions, as well as to prepare a sports reserve.

A total of 12 teams from St. Petersburg, Vladimir, Novgorod, Omsk, Pskov, Tula regions and the Republic of Bashkortostan took part in the championship. Over the course of several days, pilots demonstrated their aircraft control skills, including "deck landing", landing with the engine off, terrain orientation skills and the ability to remain calm in difficult flight situations.

The championship participants competed in the following sports disciplines.

"Deltalet-1" "Microplane-1" "Microplane-2" "Autogyro"

The team of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU is commander Alexander Rodin, navigator Vladislav Balashov and technician Egor Seryakov. The athletes study at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport of SPbPU and have been improving their engineering skills for over a year as laboratory assistants at the Experimental Design Bureau of the PISh SPbPU.

The winners and prize winners were determined by the sum of points scored based on the results of all flights. The team of polytechnicians made 10 flights and eventually scored 3080 points, showing the best result in their discipline. The aircraft commander Alexander Rodin will be awarded the rank of candidate for master of sports.

We had very intensive training organized by the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU. The morning shift started at 5 am, and we were in the sky until 12 pm. After that, there were theoretical classes on aircraft piloting, navigation, radio exchange, meteorology and other subjects. The evening shift lasted from 5 pm to 8 pm. During the entire training period, we gained significant practical experience, flew more than 100 hours of flight time and received a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge from our mentors, the staff of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU. The crew managed to get to know the aircraft better, participate in the processes of modeling aerodynamics and strength, evaluate the flight characteristics and advantages of the aircraft, which allowed us to develop a strategy for winning the Russian championship. Yes, the weather conditions during the championship were difficult, the opponents were experienced and strong, and we participated in the competition for the first time. But we and our mentors believed in success and made every effort to achieve it, said aircraft commander Alexander Rodin.

Teams from Omsk and Pskov regions took second and third place in the “Microplane-1” discipline.

The improvement of the MIX-500 aircraft was carried out by specialists from the Design Bureau of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU under the leadership of Mikhail Korchkov.

Engineers from the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” developed mathematical and computer models of the aircraft and, using the digital platform for the development and application of digital twins CML-Bench® (developed by the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU), performed a series of digital (virtual) tests of the X-32 MIX aircraft of the ASTC “AEROMIX” flying club on the aerodynamics and strength of the aircraft, based on the results of which it was modified to improve its aerodynamic characteristics. As a result, fairings for the wheels of the front and main landing gear were installed, a profile was installed to reduce aerodynamic drag on the wing struts. This was achieved in the shortest possible time, in just 1 month. All work was carried out within the framework of the key technological area (KNTH-1) “Systemic Digital Engineering” of the Priority-2030 university support program. The work carried out is the first stage in the creation of the CML-Aeroplane. In 2025-2026. We have planned to develop a digital twin of the aircraft based on the CML-Bench® digital platform, as well as to manufacture a prototype. Based on the created digital twin, advanced composite materials and advanced manufacturing technologies will be introduced into the aircraft design; the weight will be reduced while maintaining rigidity and strength characteristics; aerodynamic characteristics will be improved; the design and power scheme of the aircraft will be changed, – explained Mikhail Korchkov.

The listed changes mean a complete redesign of the aircraft. In the future, the aircraft will be converted into an unmanned aerial vehicle for aerial chemical work.

As for the winning team, the future plans of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU include participation in competitions on an aircraft of its own design.
