On February 11, the whole world celebrates an important and wonderful holiday – International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

The resolution proclaiming this significant date was adopted at a meeting of the UN General Assembly in 2015, and on February 11, 2016, representatives of the fair half of humanity engaged in science celebrated their holiday for the first time.

We spoke with several female scientists at the State University of Management to learn a little more about them.

Marina Aleksandrovna Zhukova: "Science is a world in which I feel comfortable."

Academic Secretary of the Academic Council of the State University of Management, Deputy Director for Academic Affairs of the Institute of Personnel Management, Social and Business Communications (IUPSiBK) of the State University of Management, Doctor of Economics, Honorary Worker of Higher Professional Education of the Russian Federation, Laureate of the 2024 Russian Federation Government Prize in Education

I enjoy solving complex problems and exploring the diverse processes that govern socioeconomic systems. I work on global issues of sustainable development and creating optimal conditions for tourism and hospitality development. Although science can be complex and sometimes slow, I always feel a sense of accomplishment and am proud to be part of the scientific community and have the opportunity to contribute to science.

My supervisor was Zinaida Petrovna Rumyantseva, a professor at the State University of Management and an Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation. She is one of the authors of the most famous and sought-after educational publications on management in the country.

After defending my doctoral dissertation, I continued working under the supervision of Professor Alexey Danilovich Chudnovsky, who now heads the Institute of Management and Budgetary Conduct at the State University of Management. I had the opportunity to supplement my fundamental knowledge of management theory with a whole arsenal of practical techniques for applying them in the work of tourism and hospitality enterprises.

Tatyana Sergeevna Pershina: "Science is a creative exploration of reality, where intuition is inevitably tested."

Deputy Head of the Department of Statistics of the State University of Management, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor

My path to science was fairly standard and began with admission to graduate school, where I was invited by the then head of the statistics department at the State University of Management, Professor Marina Romanovna Efimova, an Honored Worker of the Higher School of the Russian Federation. While still a student, I decided to remain in the educational field, where there is always room for research.

What attracts me to science is the opportunity for a rigorous yet creative exploration of reality, where intuition is inevitably tested and any statement requires justification and responsibility.

My research, like many others, helps change the world by developing evidence-based solutions that improve the quality of governance, forecasting accuracy, and resource efficiency.

In my opinion, analytical thinking and methodological discipline are essential for scientific advancement, as is a willingness to test one's own hypotheses, acknowledge the limitations of one's findings, and revise one's positions as new data accumulates. However, persistence and the ability to sustain long-term concentration are equally important, as scientific work requires time and patience.

Beyond one's own strengths, the support of others is also important. I've been fortunate to have had and continue to have several mentors. I owe the rigor of my scientific research and the discipline instilled in me during my studies to Marina Romanovna Efimova, who introduced me to science. My second mentor, Doctor of Economics and Professor Olga Emilievna Bashina, who continues to provide me with valuable advice on scientific research, statistical methodology, and my overall life. I'd also like to acknowledge Nikolai Vladimirovich Kuznetsov, Head of the Department of Statistics at the State University of Management, who consistently supports not only me but the entire female faculty in the department, assisting both with work organization and with research, which sometimes requires inspiration.

Looking back, I would advise my 20-year-old self not to be afraid to take on responsibility, to start doing research early, and to continually learn while there is time for it.

Oksana Dmitrievna Pokrovskaya: "Science is like magic. Thanks to it, we can solve problems at the speed of a click."

Leading specialist of the Center for Space Research, Unmanned and Radio-Electronic Technologies of the State University of Management, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor

I've always enjoyed seeking unconventional, new approaches to problems rather than standard solutions. And science attracted me with its constant novelty. It's like magic: it manages to constantly evolve while remaining young, fresh, and modern.

To be successful in academia, "it's enough to dare to be a scientist," as Horace said. On this path, creative ambition, the ability, and the desire to seek new solutions will be your primary facilitators. I'd also like to recommend Hans Selye's book "From Dream to Discovery." I was fortunate to read it back in university. I believe many researchers follow this vector of movement from dream to discovery in their work, and I'm no exception.

Today, my research makes decision-making in the field of cargo delivery faster and more efficient, allowing logistics problems to be solved at the click of a button, which is essential in the modern world.

Yulia Nasikhovna Serdechnaya: "In science, constant personal development is inevitable."

Senior Lecturer, Department of Industrial Organization Management, Institute of Industrial Management, State University of Management

During my student years, I worked in the department and participated in research. I found it interesting, and I decided to continue doing science after completing my studies.

I love that in science, constant personal and professional development is inevitable. Along this path, discipline, the ability to quickly adapt, and patience become essential qualities. For those just starting out, I would advise remembering that "the road is mastered by the one who keeps going," so it's important to keep moving toward your goal.

A significant role in my path to science was played by the Deputy Head of the Department of Organizational Management in Mechanical Engineering at the State University of Management, Professor Tamara Ivanovna Yurchenko, who stood at the origins of the domestic concept of organization and management of production.

Today, my research helps organizations manage the innovation process more effectively, but it always pays a lot of attention to the end user, so it helps to some extent to get a new product that the consumer wants.

Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Karelina: "In science, determination, perseverance, and the support of loved ones are important."

Associate Professor of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations of the State University of Management, Doctor of Economics, Associate Professor

What draws me to research is the thirst for learning and exploring new things, the opportunity to express and share my thoughts, both through publications and through lectures and seminars when working with students. Successful development in this field requires dedication and perseverance, as well as the ability to persevere, as obstacles are inevitable on the path to defending a candidate's or doctoral dissertation.

Furthermore, family support is crucial: they have supported me throughout my career. I am also sincerely grateful to my academic supervisor and then academic advisor, Professor Evgeny Nikolaevich Smirnov, Head of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the State University of Management.

I'm thrilled to see the sparkle in students' eyes when I talk about what we do in science. When they say I reinforce their patriotic feelings, it makes me proud and happy.

Ekaterina Fedorovna Shamaeva: "Science provides an opportunity to improve the lives of future generations."

Associate Professor of the Department of Environmental Management of the State University of Management, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor

Science is my calling, and I'm grateful to have found it. Above all, what draws me to scientific endeavors is the opportunity to improve the lives of society and future generations. This requires hard work and dedication, so successful development requires diligence and perseverance. Looking back, I would advise my 20-year-old self to be more relaxed and travel more.

My father in science and mentor was the Soviet and Russian scientist, Professor Boris Evgenievich Bolshakov, the author of more than 100 scientific papers devoted to the problem of sustainable development using spatiotemporal quantities.

Today, my research projects are aimed at improving the efficiency of regional development project management in order to practically improve the quality of life of the population.

Anna Mikhailovna Kanunnikova: "Science is freedom and the opportunity for continuous development."

Senior lecturer at the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the State University of Management, PhD in Economics, was awarded the Young Scientist badge in 2025.

Scientific work appeals to me because of its combination of intellectual and creative freedom, as well as the opportunity for continuous development. To develop in this field, persistence, critical thinking, and the ability to work within a system and a team are crucial. It's also important to be able to delegate tasks rather than take on everything yourself.

I consider my mentor first and foremost to Professor Tatyana Nikolaevna Leonova of the Kaluga Region, who is currently Deputy Governor of the Kaluga Region. She taught me a great deal and instilled in me a love for research and international education. Professor Evgeny Nikolaevich Smirnov, Head of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the Kaluga Region, also made a significant contribution to my development as a scholar. He always finds the right words to motivate, offers advice, and shares his experience.

My research is primarily focused on achieving economic and digital sovereignty for the Russian Federation. When viewed in a global context, my research focuses on the development of the global education market.

Anna Mikhailovna Sotnikova: "Science is interesting, even if it is sometimes difficult."

Assistant of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration, Junior Research Fellow of the Scientific Activities Department of the UKNI, Chair of the Council of Young Scientists of the State University of Management, awarded the "Young Scientist" badge in 2025

The first step on my path to science was deciding to pursue a master's degree in a completely new and, at the time, challenging field: sociology. During my studies, I worked extensively with the science component, and I found it very interesting, albeit sometimes challenging, so I decided to continue. After all, science is a process in which you constantly develop and learn.

Success on this path requires, first and foremost, patience, as well as determination and a willingness to embrace challenges. If I could give advice to myself, just starting out on this journey, I'd say: "Keep going and doubt yourself less."

My research helps us better understand our society, how it is changing and why.

How scientists start their day

Our interview also asked how our scientists start their mornings. It turns out there's no single ritual: some can't imagine starting the day without coffee or warm water with vitamins, others start with work tasks, and for others, a piece of cake and a workout are essential. Yes, we're also interested in how to combine these elements, but that's what scientists are for: thinking outside the box.

We congratulate all the girls, young women, and women in science on their holiday. We wish your eyes to sparkle with joy more often, and your research applications to be approved without unnecessary delays. You make our world a better place, and for that, we are sincerely grateful. Happy holiday!

A young scientist from the State University of Management took part in the XV International Forum "The Arctic: Present and Future" named after A.N. Chilingarov, which took place from December 9 to 10 in St. Petersburg.

The event traditionally serves as the main platform for dialogue between government, business, science, and society on Arctic development. This year, over 2,000 experts from Russia and other countries gathered to identify development vectors for the Russian Arctic zone.

The business program focused on achieving national development goals for the region for decades to come. Over the course of two days, two plenary sessions and more than 50 discussions took place on key topics, from economics and technology to ecology and security. Each session aimed not only to discuss problems but also to find practical solutions. A large exhibition was held alongside the events, where regions and companies presented innovative projects for Arctic territories.

Denis Serdechny, an associate professor at the State University of Management, Department of Innovation Management, and Head of the Laboratory of Digital and Intelligent Technologies for the Development of Territories of the Russian Federation, took an active part in the forum.

"The Arctic today is a zone of major projects, where economic and logistical activity is growing. The region requires comprehensive solutions and new approaches to management. For Russia, this task is comparable in scale to our ancestors' conquest of space in the last century. It's gratifying to realize that our university's research and educational activities can make a significant contribution to solving such an important and ambitious task," Denis Serdechny shared his impressions.

The scientist noted that at the forum, he became convinced of the relevance of the research areas of the "Digital and Intelligent Technologies for the Development of Regions of the Russian Federation" laboratory, which opened at the State University of Management in 2025. The laboratory's interim results will be submitted to the Forum's organizing committee for inclusion in a public resolution.

As a reminder, following a competitive selection process by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education to establish new youth laboratories, the State University of Management's research project, "Scientific, Methodological, and Practical Foundations for the Development and Application of Digital and Intelligent Technologies to Ensure Sustainable Development in the Regions of the Russian Federation, Including Remote and Hard-to-Access Territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic Zone," received support.

Thanks to this, our university launched a laboratory for "Digital and Intelligent Technologies for the Development of Russian Regions" this fall. The goals of the research team, which consists of more than 70% young scientists, include:

Analysis and systematization of current scientific and technical problems of sustainable development in the regions of the Russian Federation, including remote and hard-to-reach territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic zone; study of existing and promising digital and intelligent progressive technologies that can be applied for the sustainable development of the regions of the Russian Federation, including remote and hard-to-reach territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic zone; development of methods for solving identified scientific and technical problems of sustainable development in the regions of the Russian Federation, including remote and hard-to-reach territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic zone, through the use of digital and intelligent technologies.

On December 5, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, participated in the final meeting of the Board of Trustees of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School for 2025.

The meeting reviewed the results of 2025 and discussed plans for the project's further development. Antony Shvindt, Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation; Rustam Shaptukayev, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic and Territorial Development of the Chechen Republic; Temirlan Khuchiev, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Chechen Republic; Magomed Mintsaev, Rector of the M.D. Millionshchikov Grozny State Petroleum Technological University; Andrey Luzhetsky, Head of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School; and other representatives of industrial partners, research institutes, universities, and executive authorities took part in the discussion.

As for the First Management Plan, the second stages of work on the GeoMap project, aimed at creating an interactive map of Russia's geothermal resources, and the ABRIS project, dedicated to ensuring the safety of facilities in various industries and developing mobile and stationary robotic platforms with drones for the automatic monitoring of industrial facilities—from pipelines to complex infrastructure—will be completed in 2025.

The key outcome of the ABRIS project was the development of a scientific and technical report, including scenarios for the use of autonomous unmanned aerial systems for monitoring oil and gas infrastructure facilities, a prototype of the ABRIS hardware and software system, and a protocol for testing innovative systems.

In 2025, as part of the GeoMap project, an adapted system of indicators for a comprehensive and balanced assessment of the economic efficiency of converting oil wells to geothermal energy was developed, and a conceptual model for an interactive map was developed. This map represents a modern, technologically advanced, and scientifically sound tool designed to address the pressing issue of information support for the development of the energy potential of the North Caucasus Federal District.

In the field of education, the State University of Management and the State Petroleum Technological University (GGNTU) are implementing four continuing professional education (CPE) programs, one of which was approved this year. Four CPE graduates have already been employed by high-tech companies, demonstrating the effectiveness of the courses and the achievement of established benchmarks.

In addition, PIS researchers conducted more than seven career guidance events, attended by over 400 Moscow schoolchildren. Undoubtedly, efforts to popularize science and the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School will continue in the coming years.

To further advance development in all areas, the RosGeoTech Industrial Innovation Lab opened at the State University of Management in October. The ABRIS project and career guidance activities will continue to be implemented there.

Thus, GUU not only met but also exceeded some of the program's implementation indicators, which once again confirms our university's status as a reliable and promising partner.

On November 28, the All-Russian Conference of the Russian Political Science Association (RAPS) with international participation, "Russia and the World in the First Quarter of the 21st Century: Political Results and Prospects," opened at the State University of Management.

This year, the event brought together political scientists not only from Russia, but also from 22 other countries.

The meeting was opened by Oksana Gaman-Golutvina, President of the Russian Academy of Political Sciences, Deputy Chair of the Public Council under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"Our meeting annually brings together political scientists from virtually every region of Russia. This year, they were joined by representatives from 22 countries. This is especially significant, as this year marks a special conference: we're holding it in the year of our association's 70th anniversary and also in the year that marks the end of the first quarter of the 21st century. Both milestones are significant and provide an opportunity to reflect on the large-scale processes of recent years, which is what we'll be doing today," concluded the RAPN president.

The expert outlined the conference's main focus areas and spoke about the Academy's contribution to preserving scientific heritage: published books, journals, interactive websites, and more. In concluding her speech, Oksana Gaman-Golutvina emphasized that "effective governance requires effective expertise, including political science."

Deputy Ministers of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova and Dmitry Afanasyev sent video messages to the participants. The ministry representatives thanked the conference organizers, congratulated the Russian Political Science Association on its 70th anniversary, and wished the participants fruitful work.

Next, the floor was given to Deputy Head of the Presidential Directorate for Public Projects, Alexander Zhuravsky:

"The world is constantly changing, and this is happening not only because of neural networks and AI, but also because the world is fundamentally unstable and changeable. This also applies to the international economic and political situation. When Vladimir Putin proposed creating BRICS in 2006, no one perceived the alliance as a serious force, but today BRICS has already surpassed the G7 in terms of economic development. Now, adherence to certain values determines the world order. On one side is the world of Western civilization, which aspires to dominance. On the other is the world of traditional values, such as BRICS and the SCO, which are increasingly being joined. Thus, very soon a new global bipolarity will emerge not only in fact but also in law."

In turn, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, thanked those gathered for choosing the first university to host such an important event and noted the benefits of participation for students.

"Today, the plenary session has brought together the best specialists and scholars in the field of political science. Our university has been training managers for various industries for over 100 years. Today, new students are unlike those who came three to five years ago, let alone earlier. They have a different perspective, different aspirations, goals, and approach to life. At the same time, our students are active and ambitious individuals who will eventually occupy leadership positions in a wide variety of fields: business, politics, ministries, the social sector, and others. These are people who influence our future. We understand that it is important to prepare them properly not only in economics and management, but also in the humanities, so that they are prepared for modern challenges and circumstances and are able to navigate life and space. Therefore, it is especially important for us to hear the opinions and presentations of leading experts in the country," concluded the SUM rector.

Dmitry Orlov, Director General of the Agency for Political and Economic Communications (APEC), concluded the welcoming remarks by outlining the practical challenges facing political science today. Among them, he highlighted the formation of a vision for the future, ensuring a balanced system, social inequality in many areas, and identifying sources of growth.

Alexander Dugin, Director of the Ivan Ilyin Higher Political School at the Russian State University for the Humanities, presented a report on the importance of sovereignty in science.

"Our fundamental task is to continue the line of the Slavophiles, who argued that Russia is an independent civilization. Today, this is the dominant approach. There are no longer any debates about this between Slavophiles and Westernizers in our country. However, the question of political affiliation arises. After all, Western political science has only three main options: liberal, communist, and nationalist. That's all there is to it, which is unacceptable for us today. This is the most profound challenge to the sovereignty of Russian political science: finding a platform that transcends these three theories," the professor concluded.

Konstantin Kostin, President of the Civil Society Development Foundation, raised the important issue of preserving historical truth not only about the past but also about the present in his report. The expert noted that "already today, neural networks and artificial intelligence are producing a wide variety of answers to simple questions about recent events of the first quarter of the 21st century, some of which are inconsistent with the truth. If nothing is done, over time, these answers will become the truth in the minds of the younger generation."

Irina Semenenko, Deputy Director of the Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, presented a study on identity politics in the public sphere, while Igor Kuznetsov, Professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University, shared the results of his research on the role of popular culture in shaping perceptions of Russia's future among young people.

The first section of the program was concluded by Andrey Polosin, scientific director of the "DNA of Russia" project and RANEPA Vice-Rector, who discussed the nature and development of social and humanitarian knowledge, the challenges it faces in responding to current events and processes in the world and society, and introduced the objectives and implementation process of the "DNA of Russia" project.

At the conference, participants presented papers on the contemporary development of political science against the backdrop of global and regional development challenges.

At the end of the first day, the RAPN reporting and election conference was held.

On November 26, the 5th Congress of Young Scientists opened at the Sirius University of Science and Technology. The forum's events traditionally featured a delegation from SUM: Rector Vladimir Stroyev, Vice Rectors Maria Karelina and Vitaly Lapshenkov, young university scientists, and international graduate and undergraduate students.

The Congress of Young Scientists is a key event of the Decade of Science and Technology, a major platform for dialogue between science, government, and the real economy. It provides an opportunity to jointly review the past year's achievements and serves as a starting point for new ambitious projects. Our delegation has already signed agreements that will mark the beginning of new areas of work and development. A trilateral agreement on cooperation in science and technology, involving young scientists, was signed by Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, Dmitry Repnikov, Chairman of the Expert Council on International Cooperation in Education and Science under the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education, and Ivan Poselsky, Head of the Moscow Division of Promavto Group. Furthermore, a trilateral memorandum on joint work in science and technology was drafted and signed between the State University of Management, the Expert Council, and BUSINESS INTEGRATION SOLUTION.

Vladimir Sipyagin, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education, was a guest of honor at the signing ceremony. He emphasized, "The development of science and technology rests on three pillars: education, research, and applied businesses working in the field of new technologies, which is crucial for our country—the companies with whom agreements were signed today. The State Duma platform, which is the expert council, is where proposals from businesses and the educational community are translated into legislative initiatives. I congratulate the participants of today's signings, and I am confident that these collaborations have a bright future ahead, leading to new scientific and practical achievements."

The congress includes events across the business, exhibition, sports, and cultural programs. The business portion traditionally features roundtables, expert sessions, and panel discussions, and also offers participants informal and interactive formats.

First-year graduate student Nguyen Thi Hai Anh shared her expectations for participating in the forum: "I'm very pleased to be participating in the Congress of Young Scientists—the most accomplished scientists and researchers have gathered here. It's a platform for dialogue and discussion of important issues and the search for solutions. I'd like to meet and interact with participants from Southeast Asia, where I'm from, Central Asia, and Africa. I also hope to discover new thoughts and ideas on the issues I'm researching in my dissertation."
