The summer season of the International Academy of Power Engineering, an educational project that unites students and young researchers from Russia, Europe and Asia, has ended at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The program is held at the Institute of Power Engineering and annually brings together participants seeking an in-depth study of modern trends in the industry.

The Academy has been held since 2016 and offers educational modules in five areas: "Electric Power Engineering", "Nuclear Power Engineering", "Digital Technologies in Power Engineering", "Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Development", "Turbomechanic Engineering".

In 2025, 16 international students participated in the Summer School from July 14 to 25 in person and 89 remotely. Thanks to the hybrid format, first tested during the pandemic, the geography of participants is expanding while maintaining interactivity and quality of education. All classes are held in multimedia classrooms with the ability to connect listeners from all over the world.

Among the participating universities are long-standing partners of SPbPU: Zhejiang University, Harbin Engineering University, Shandong University, Tsinghua University, Beihang University (all in China) and the University of Padua (Italy). Students of the Polytechnic University itself also joined the academy.

Today, an engineer must think globally: understand the international agenda, understand new technologies, and be able to work in multinational teams. That is why we included our students in the program – to give them the opportunity to truly immerse themselves in the global energy dialogue, – said the head of the summer academy program, associate professor of HSE Ekaterina Sokolova.

The students were particularly interested in the master class "Virtual NPP power unit: application of a virtual power unit for modeling NPP operating modes", where the participants modeled the operating modes of a nuclear power plant using digital twins. Practical cases on creating models on MATLAB/Simulink and Comsol Multiphysics allowed them to acquire the skills in demand in the digital transformation of the industry.

Each educational module consists of several lectures and seminars that provide fundamental knowledge in the energy sector and reflect modern challenges: students study the use of AI in nuclear energy, digitalization, sustainability of energy systems and modern equipment, and renewable technologies of the future.

The Academy concluded for the second time with an Energy Forum, where students presented their research on various topics and exchanged ideas that could develop into international research, articles and joint grant initiatives.

The educational part was complemented by a diverse cultural program: excursions to the State Hermitage, the Yusupov Palace, walks along rivers and canals, interactive tasks and master classes in the Russian language. Digital excursions around St. Petersburg were prepared for online participants.

We do not just teach, we create an environment for academic exchange and intercultural dialogue. The program becomes more complex every year, because the requirements grow, and with them our interest in future collaborations. We hope to get in touch with universities that are new to us, which may also be interested in such a program, – shared Ekaterina Sokolova.

In the future, the organizers plan to add more practical laboratory classes, joint project blocks, and expand the range of topics through new partnerships with industrial and research centers.

On July 23, 2025, a delegation from the Chinese company Ruston GEEGE visited the State University of Management on a working visit.

The foreign guests were represented by Ruston GEEGE CEO Wang Changchun and the company's scientific and educational institute director Jiang Nannan. The delegation was received by GUU Rector Vladimir Stroyev, Vice-Rectors Dmitry Bryukhanov, Maria Karelina and other university representatives.

In his welcoming speech, Vladimir Stroyev noted that contacts between China and Russia have been expanding more and more actively lately. GUU also cooperates with colleagues from universities in China and wants to move to a new level, to agreements with Chinese commercial companies.

"As the leaders of our countries believe, we have a greater future together. GUU has been training Russian businessmen in China for several years now, in particular, in 2023 we conducted internships in Shanghai, and in 2024 – in Beijing. I think it is right to begin direct interaction between the university and Chinese companies," the rector suggested.

Vladimir Vitalyevich told the guests a brief history of the State University of Management, from the Aleksandrovsky Commercial School to the creation of a school for training personnel for the first five-year plans under the leadership of Sergo Ordzhonikidze.

"Since then, our university has been training managers in various sectors of the economy. If you look at the list of our graduates, they are very high-ranking leaders. Currently, this includes Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Patrushev, Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin, deputy ministers, and heads of production. Therefore, we feel a high responsibility in training people of such rank. I believe that future leaders should know China and understand the specifics of your technologies, production, and principles of building work processes, so that the common future of our peoples is happy," Vladimir Stroyev summed up.

Ruston GEEGE CEO Wang Changchun thanked the university leadership for the warm welcome and the opportunity to share his project ideas.

"Our company has been developing in the field of digital trade for over 10 years. We have our own warehouses in Russia, the USA, Brazil, Japan and other countries. We have received 60 patents and developed 20 educational products, which have already been used by about 100 thousand students. We will be happy to discuss with you the possibility of creating our Institute of Digital Economy on the basis of the State University of Management. Mutual integration will give us many new opportunities," said Wang Changchun.

Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Dmitry Bryukhanov spoke about the university’s cooperation with the Shanghai business incubator and the training of our 3rd and 4th year students in China.

"Last year, we conducted an internship in China for 50 Russian businessmen, which Vladimir Vitalyevich already mentioned. All the established connections led to the conclusion of contracts, but this is a drop in the ocean compared to the needs of the businesses of our countries. Now we are faced with the task of creating a training program for Chinese students in Russia and Russian students in China, so that they better understand each other's cultural characteristics and quickly establish interaction. In this regard, your project to create an institute of digital economy seems important and interesting to us," Dmitry Bryukhanov admitted.

Vice-Rector Maria Karelina agreed that the project proposed by the Chinese side was very interesting, but noted that time would be needed to study it in detail and determine ways to join it so that the partnership would be equal and would not violate the established order of the activities of the State University of Management as a state organization.

Director of the scientific and educational institute of Ruston GEEGE Jiang Nannan acquainted the management of the State University of Management with the plans for the creation of the Institute of Digital Economy and the stages of its implementation. Among other things, the project involves the creation of a common scientific and technical base, joint training programs in the field of digital business and the formation of a team of scientific leaders with a three-dimensional matrix of competencies.

Jiang Nannan also spoke about the new project of the Eurasian Alliance for Education in the Sphere of Cross-Border E-Commerce, the result of which will be integration with Russian marketplaces, the creation of a logistics system of the Ruston GEEGE company in Russia, support for Russian enterprises and the training of specialists in the field of cross-border online trade with an expected employment rate of up to 85%. Particular attention in the project will be paid to building a system of security measures for cross-border trade and dynamic pricing.

In response to this, Vladimir Stroyev told the guests about the partnership agreement between GUU and the united company Wildberries and Russ, as well as a business meeting at the SPIEF with its CEO Tatyana Kim. The rector reported that within the framework of the agreement with the marketplace, GUU is already developing an Olympiad for schoolchildren, which means it is moving in the direction that interests its Chinese colleagues.

At the end of the meeting, the parties exchanged contacts, discussed the possibility of further mutual visits and exchanged gifts. Wang Changchun presented Vladimir Stroyev with a traditional scroll with calligraphy by a famous master, which contains wishes for success and prosperity for the university and its students.

The Polytechnic University is completing the main stage of accepting documents from foreign applicants. During the large-scale campaign, the university team participated in educational exhibitions, quota selections and webinars in the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the CIS.

Since autumn 2024, the university has presented its educational programs at 39 events, including 12 face-to-face (in China, Turkey, Vietnam, Morocco, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan) and six online exhibitions, 17 information webinars and four regional selection rounds jointly with Rossotrudnichestvo representative offices. Foreign applicants familiarized themselves with the new admission algorithms. To promote the Open Doors international Olympiad, which gives talented students a unique opportunity to enter the Polytechnic University and study for free, an interview with the winners was held. They told their compatriots about studying at SPbPU. Also, specialized webinars on the master's and bachelor's degree tracks were held jointly with the Global Universities Association.

This year, a unified algorithm for admission to Russian universities for foreign and Russian citizens was launched. Now foreigners participate in the general competition on an equal basis with Russian schoolchildren. The progress of admission can be monitored in real time through the competition lists, which are already available on the official website of the university. The results of the main stage of enrollment will be known in August. Based on the results of the summer campaign, additional recruitment will take place for the remaining vacancies.

An important innovation of the international Open Doors Olympiad is the opening of the bachelor's degree program for the winners. If previously only applicants for master's and postgraduate studies participated, now future bachelors can too. At the moment, about 300 applications have been received, and about a hundred of them are for bachelor's degree programs. Most of the guys participating in the Olympiad represent foreign countries and do not speak Russian. Therefore, after admission, they will begin their studies with a pre-university training program.

Polytechnic University traditionally attracts great interest from applicants from key regions: the CIS countries (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are in the lead), China and other BRICS countries, Turkey and Latin America (especially Colombia and Ecuador). At the same time, the number of representatives of the African continent interested in studying in pre-university training programs is growing at the university. To develop this area, Polytechnic University took part in a special series of events organized by the Rosatom State Corporation. A series of exhibition and presentation webinars and educational lectures covered nuclear technologies in energy and their non-energy applications in related industries. Popular science lectures were given by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Mechanical Engineering Hamuda Khaled and Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Technosphere Safety Jamilya Idrisova. The goal is to attract students from African countries to Rosatom's flagship universities to study in nuclear and related specialties in Russia.

A significant number of bachelor's and master's degree graduates choose to continue their education at SPbPU. According to preliminary data from the admissions campaign, over 2,000 applications have already been submitted for the main educational programs (bachelor's, master's, postgraduate) under the contract, and over 800 for the preparatory faculty. Candidates within the Russian Federation Government quota are also being considered. Over 800 applications have been processed to date.

The most popular bachelor's degree programs among applicants are economics and international relations, engineering and construction programs, IT and high technology. Of particular interest is the English-language program "International Business".

The following areas are in demand in the Master's program: construction, electric power engineering and electrical engineering, automation of technological processes, management, foreign regional studies, applied mechanics. The following English-language areas are also in demand: "Informatics and computing engineering", "Biotechnical systems and technologies", "Infocommunication technologies and communication systems", "Development of international business", "Intelligent systems", "Microelectronics of infocommunication systems", "Civil engineering" and "Molecular and cellular biotechnology".

In postgraduate studies, technical fields (energy, construction, mechanical engineering) and biotechnology are leading.

"It is difficult to predict the results of the new admissions system, including the movement of competition lists, since this is the first such experience. We recommend that applicants closely monitor updates on the SPbPU website and be prepared for additional recruitment in August. Despite the novelty of the procedure and the complexity of the exams, the interim figures indicate a record interest in studying at the leading technical university in Russia," said Evgeniya Satalkina, Head of the International Education Department.

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, together with the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in India, held an educational master class for Indian schoolchildren who are passionate about chess.

Chess as a physical education discipline appeared at the Polytechnic University in 2021. Every semester, chess classes are attended by more than a hundred first- and second-year students. The Polytechnic University Chess Club, named after a university graduate, the first Soviet world champion, grandmaster Mikhail Botvinnik, regularly holds tournaments, including online ones. Our club's Interuniversity project is the largest international online tournament among students in the world (more than 1,000 participants from 20 different countries). The Polytechnic University team is the champion of St. Petersburg and Russia in chess, and winners of the All-Russian Summer Universiade. The honor of the team was defended by FIDE masters, international masters, and grandmaster Kirill Alekseenko, who was a contender for the world chess crown at the time of his studies at the Polytechnic University.

The event, dedicated to the development of Russian-Indian cooperation in the field of education and sports, brought together young chess players from India. The program was rich and informative. Polytechnic University was represented by Pavel Martynov, an international FIDE master and candidate of pedagogical sciences with more than 10 years of experience, speaking via videoconference. He gave the children a remote lecture on how chess develops critical thinking, memory, concentration and strategic planning skills, and shared practical strategies that are useful both at the board and in studies.

The participants of the master class were shown a film about the Polytechnic University. The schoolchildren learned about the history, traditions, modern scientific achievements and the rich student life of the university. The children were reminded that the legendary Mikhail Botvinnik, the 6th world chess champion, the founder of the Soviet chess school, was a graduate of the Electromechanical Faculty of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute (now SPbPU) in 1932. This fact aroused keen interest among young Indian chess players, for whom the name Botvinnik is synonymous with chess greatness. The children got acquainted with his biography at a photo exhibition dedicated to outstanding chess players.

The theoretical part smoothly turned into the practical. Pavel Martynov held a session of simultaneous play with the schoolchildren. The children were able to test their strength and apply some of the ideas they heard in practice.

"It is a great honor for the Polytechnic University to continue the traditions established by such giants as Mikhail Botvinnik," noted Pavel Martynov. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to share our developments with young talents of India and strengthen our friendly ties through the universal language of chess. The enthusiasm and level of play of Indian schoolchildren are impressive!"

The Rossotrudnichestvo Representative Office in India expressed gratitude to SPbPU and personally to Pavel Martynov for organizing and holding a highly professional and educational event that promotes the popularization of the Russian language, Russian education and culture, and also strengthens friendship between the youth of the two countries.

A delegation from Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute (JITRI) and Tsinghua University Suzhou Automobile Research Institute (TSARI) arrived at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University to strengthen their strategic partnership. The visit was led by JITRI First Deputy Director Gao Jun.

China is a key partner of SPbPU: the university has more than 60 active agreements with Chinese universities and companies, including two large joint institutes in Jiangsu and Xi'an, where over a thousand students study. SPbPU itself has 2,200 Chinese students — almost half of the foreign contingent.

The meeting participants discussed the expansion of academic mobility programs. Of particular interest was the JITRI Co-op internship program, which provides paid internships at leading Chinese research institutes and companies in the following areas: new materials, information and communication technologies, energy, biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing. The Polytechnic University confirmed its readiness to organize an open competition among talented students and young scientists to participate in the program.

Scientific cooperation will also receive a boost: the parties agreed to intensify joint projects in the field of digital twins of power plants, artificial intelligence for industrial systems and polymer composite materials. Three major projects are already being implemented, including the BRICS grant won in sustainable development management with Nanjing University.

"Today, our laboratories are looking to the East," said Dmitry Arsenyev, Vice-Rector for International Affairs at SPbPU. "China has not only caught up with the technological leaders, but is setting new standards, and the Polytechnic University will orient students toward internships at JITRI, in your laboratories and at production facilities. This is a new vector — from the fundamental research of the Polytechnic University to Chinese industrial practice."

In response, the JITRI delegation proposed the creation of working groups to develop specific initiatives, including joint workshops and the involvement of industrial partners.

Prospects for cooperation include the participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences: SPbPU is closely connected with its St. Petersburg branch, which unites 50 research institutes. Rector of SPbPU and Chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy signed a cooperation agreement in 2023 with Director of the Shanghai branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Hu Jinbo.

"The doors of any institute of the Academy of Sciences are open to JITRI," said Dmitry Germanovich, proposing to synchronize efforts with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. To ensure prompt work, the parties plan to hold a virtual round table in the coming months.

SPbPU Master's graduate Do The Manh received one of the university's highest awards – a gold medal. He studied at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications in the field of "Secure Telecommunication Systems". In an interview, he spoke about his path, his love for St. Petersburg and advice to future international students.

— Congratulations on the gold medal! This is an outstanding achievement. Tell us why you chose Russia, St. Petersburg and the Polytechnic?

— For the Vietnamese, Russia is a friendly country. Historical ties are very strong. We know that Russia has powerful technologies, especially in telecommunications — reliable, excellent systems. First, I chose a direction, then decided to study in Russia, and then I learned about the Polytechnic. It attracted me not only by the level of science, but also by the atmosphere, the beauty of the city and student life.

— You went from a bachelor’s degree to a master’s degree at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications. Why telecommunications?

— I became interested in it back in school. I liked how Wi-Fi and the Internet worked. I wanted to understand the principles, how it was installed and how it could be improved. That’s how I decided on the direction.

— Have your expectations from studying been met now, with a master’s degree in hand?

– Absolutely! The knowledge turned out to be deep and very important for a future career. Expectations were fully met.

— What were your first impressions of St. Petersburg and the Polytechnic University seven years ago?

— The city captivated me with its beauty right away: the streets, the architecture, the sights. The number of foreign students at the Polytechnic was astounding — over 5,000! We lived in a dormitory. The Russian language was not easy, especially because of the Cyrillic alphabet. But the teachers at the preparatory faculty were amazingly kind and patient, they explained everything very specifically. It helped a lot.

— The path to the gold medal was clearly not easy. What was the most difficult?

— It was very difficult to combine studies with social work. I was the chairman of the Association of Vietnamese Students in St. Petersburg and a member of the association in Russia. There were many organizational matters, and sometimes the balance between studies and social work failed.

— How did you manage to overcome this imbalance?

— The teachers and the management helped. I knew that I could turn to them for help or advice. And I am very grateful for such support — without it, it would have been more difficult to get a medal.

— Which subjects or teachers did you remember the most?

— The classes of my scientific supervisor Alexander Leonidovich Gelgor were especially inspiring. He taught several subjects both in the bachelor's and master's programs. His lectures and seminars were incredibly interesting because they combined theory and practice. I think that not only I, but also most of the group appreciated them for this.

— Besides the language, what difficulties did you face as a foreign student?

— At first, it was difficult to communicate with Russian classmates. My Vietnamese friend and I stuck together, there was a certain wall. But it collapsed after a semester. We started communicating about our studies — we helped each other with assignments, we had a good school base. And then our friendship went beyond the classroom. We went for walks, spent time together.

— Climate, food, everyday life — what was the most unusual?

— The climate! Definitely! In Vietnam, the minimum temperature is 10°C, and in my first winter here I encountered -30°C! It was a shock. But by the second winter I got used to it — it was freezing outside, but the hostel was always warm. There were no problems with food. I really loved borscht! And Russian shashlik is not just food, but a whole atmosphere: company, new places, laughter… A special tradition.

— Did you learn Russian from scratch at the preparatory faculty?

— Almost. In Vietnam, I spent six months learning the basics: the alphabet, basic phrases. Serious grammar and practice began here. I even walked and talked to people on the streets on purpose — I practiced and learned a lot of interesting things about their lives and experiences. The preparatory course gave me much more than just the language.

— What did you like most about St. Petersburg?

— I love everything here! Over the course of seven years, the city, the people, the university, the teachers, the friends — everything has become familiar and dear.

— Did you manage to get to know Russian culture more deeply?

— Yes! Thanks to our work in the association, we were often invited to events by the Committee on External Relations and the Committee on Youth Policy of St. Petersburg. We tried national cuisine and learned about traditions. It is amazing how history is honored and culture is preserved here. This largely explains Russia's place in the world.

— What have these seven years been like for you?

— It was a path from a schoolboy to a specialist. I matured internally, learned to manage my time, earned the respect of those around me. I received a colossal amount of baggage — not only knowledge, but also life experience.

— What skills, professional and personal, do you consider the most valuable?

— The ability to plan studies and life, to manage time. And respect for people — beyond any doubt.

— What would you tell yourself 7 years ago, on your first day at the Polytechnic?

– Don't be shy! Act! There were moments when shyness prevented me from doing something, and then I regretted it. If you want something, do it boldly!

— Was there anything completely unexpected, good or difficult?

— The most unexpected and pleasant surprise was the gold medal! I didn’t even know it existed at first. I found out later, but the main goal was always to gain knowledge in order to apply it in Vietnam. The medal is a wonderful bonus to that.

— What are your plans now? Is a Polytechnic diploma an advantage in Vietnam?

— I'm going back to Vietnam soon to work in my specialty. There's already a place. A Polytechnic diploma is certainly a strong advantage. Russia is known for its technologies, and Polytechnic has a high rating and teachers recognized in our field. This is appreciated.

— Will you maintain contact with Russia?

— Definitely! With friends, teachers, the university. And if the work requires deepening of knowledge, perhaps I will return to graduate school.

— What is your main advice to future foreign students of the Polytechnic University?

— Learn Russian. Don't be shy about communicating with Russians! Plan your studies. Know how to manage your time. And most importantly: don't be afraid to ask your teachers. They are friendly and will always help you figure things out.
