The Novosibirsk project "Science on a Visit" has won the Vladimir Potanin Charitable Foundation's 2025 "Practices of Personal Philanthropy and Altruism" competition. The project's curator is Anna Shuklina, a master's student in the Physics Department of Novosibirsk State University (NSU Physics Department) and a senior laboratory assistant at the INP SB RAS. One of the organizers is Svetlana Ivanenko, a research fellow at the INP SB RAS and a candidate of technical sciences. For five months, volunteer scientists from the project team will conduct regular physics classes for children undergoing long-term treatment. The project launches in January 2025, and the organizers are currently recruiting volunteers: the first meeting was held at NSU on December 1st, and over 20 students from various university departments attended.

The "Practices of Personal Philanthropy and Altruism" competition is held to support socially significant initiatives within the Potanin Foundation community. Winners receive up to 500,000 rubles to implement charitable initiatives, campaigns, and events aimed at supporting vulnerable groups, protecting the environment, animals, and more. In the 2025 competition, 56 projects received support, with Anna Shuklina's "Science on a Visit" project being the sole winner from the Novosibirsk Region.

"I was inspired to try to develop a project for the 'Practices of Personal Philanthropy and Altruism' grant competition by a Potanin Foundation scholarship recipient who gave lectures to cancer patients," commented Anna Shuklina, curator of the "Science on a Visit" project. "Having a background in physics and experience working with elementary school children at the Small Physics and Mathematics School and seventh-graders at the Orthodox Gymnasium in Akademgorodok, as well as my own siblings, I realized that this is precisely what I'm good at—demonstrating physical phenomena and explaining the laws of physics to children without formulas or complex terminology. For example, with some play dough, a plastic straw, a plastic bottle, and some alcohol, I can easily explain and demonstrate how a liquid thermometer works. So I thought, why not bring my physics lessons to children undergoing long-term treatment? That's how the "Science on a Visit" project came about."

The "Science on a Visit" project will launch in January 2026. A team of volunteers and organizers will demonstrate engaging physics to children undergoing long-term treatment at the Novosibirsk Regional Clinical Hospital and the E.N. Meshalkin National Medical Research Center.

"The 'Science on a Visit' project isn't designed to help children catch up on their educational program; it's more of a bridge to everyday life," added Svetlana Ivanenko. "It's crucial that, while undergoing long-term treatment, a child understands that everyday life, like school, is still there. This kind of psychological support is crucial for children and their parents—I've personally seen the positive impact it has. When my daughter developed cancer, we underwent chemotherapy at the Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology in Moscow. This cancer center runs the hospital school, 'We Teach and Know,' which allows children to follow the school curriculum while they're in the hospital. When we went there with my daughter, her mood completely changed, and, naturally, so did mine. Veronika attended various extracurricular activities, and one of the teachers discovered she plays guitar and brought her his. Overall, it was a turning point for us." That’s why when Anya invited me to join the Science on a Visit project, I couldn’t refuse.

As Larisa Lisovskaya, head of the Novosibirsk regional children's branch of the All-Russian Society of Oncology and Public Health (VOOPP) "Association of Cancer Patients 'Hello!'," notes, "Science on a Visit" is distinguished by its focus on scientific knowledge.

"The project offers specially designed experiments, tailored to the children's abilities and condition, and educational content that not only entertains but also sparks deep cognitive interest; it eases the family's emotional burden by showing that the child is not isolated from the world of knowledge and communication. The project is of tremendous importance as a comprehensive support service, not just entertainment. It allows children to continue developing, exploring the world, exercising their thinking, and maintaining curiosity despite treatment. The activities will help them take a psychological break from pain and fear and experience positive emotions. In isolation, it will provide an opportunity to communicate and interact with volunteers and other children, stimulating discussion, shared creativity, and social development. Older children will have the opportunity to interact with students who work at research institutes, which will help them with career guidance and build a successful future," she added.

On December 1, NSU hosted a meeting with volunteers, where interested individuals could learn more about the project and, if interested, participate. The organizers primarily invited students from NSU's physics, mathematics, and natural science departments. Yulia Soboleva, a psychologist from the pediatric oncology and hematology department at the Novosibirsk Regional Hospital, spoke at the meeting, describing both the department itself and the nuances of working with patients currently being treated there. Representatives of the "We Learn We Know" project, Tatyana Krymova, deputy head of the project office, and Ekaterina Zorina, scientific director of the hospital psychologists, spoke online. They shared their experiences working in hospital education. You can learn more about the "Science on a Visit" project. find out in the VKontakte group.

NSU and Heilongjiang University are expanding their scientific collaboration and plan to launch a new joint graduate program in 2026. Initially, the two universities have chosen chemistry as one of the priority areas for collaboration. The number of subject areas will increase, and the universities plan to enroll 100-150 graduate students annually.

As noted by Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU, this collaboration will be a logical continuation of the existing cooperation between the two universities, which has lasted for nearly 15 years within the framework of the China-Russia Institute. The creation of joint laboratories involving young scientists will not only enable the exchange of knowledge and experience but will also expand scientific interaction, creating new opportunities for research.

As part of this initiative, NSU will become the entry point for international graduate students interested in conducting research in Akademgorodok. The university will act as an integrator, attracting young researchers, concluding agreements with them, accommodating them on campus, and handling all organizational issues, including migration registration. NSU, in collaboration with research institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will then select a supervisor for each graduate student.

The main goal of cooperation between NSU and research institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences is to increase the number of talented foreign youth who are willing and have the necessary training to engage in scientific research, and who are also capable of preparing to defend a candidate's dissertation within the standard period of study in graduate school (3-4 years, depending on the area of study).

"NSU will be a gateway not only for Chinese graduate students who would like to defend their theses in Russia, but also for research institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences who would like to collaborate with Chinese universities and conduct joint research. Young scientists who complete our joint graduate program will become employees of these future joint research laboratories," emphasized Evgeny Sagaydak.

In November, Alina Ivanova, a first-year master's student in Political Science at the NSU Institute of Philosophy and Law, and Victoria Maltseva, Partner Relations Manager at the NSU Career Development Center, took part in a four-day trip to Zheleznogorsk in Krasnoyarsk Krai. The trip was made possible through the Rosmolodezh program "More Than a Journey" and the "Tours of Opportunity to Nuclear Cities" project, implemented by the Rosatom State Corporation. A total of 29 people from Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Snezhinsk, and Seversk participated in the event.

The tour program included a sightseeing tour of Zheleznogorsk, a visit to the museum of the Rosatom State Corporation and the M.F. Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems JSC, the "Forward to the Dream" recreational horseback riding center, and the "Lapudai" husky center. Workshops on mini-volleyball and dumpling making were also held, along with evening programs such as "Kvartirnik" and "Siberian Feast." In addition, walks through the park grounds and a project were organized, including landscaping an eco-trail on the grounds of the "Nad Yenisei" recreation center, where the participants stayed outside the closed city.

Alina Ivanova was born in Krasnoyarsk and, as a child, often visited Zheleznogorsk, where her father worked. The city was relatively familiar to her, but during the four-day tour, she discovered a completely new side.

"The Museum and Exhibition Center of the Closed Administrative Territorial Entity of Zheleznogorsk, which includes exhibits from JSC Academician M.F. Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems (Russia's largest spacecraft manufacturer), was particularly memorable for its interactive areas, where participants could try on the role of a researcher and engineer. I was also amazed by the Space Communications Center's site in the evening, when, unexpectedly for the program participants, the satellite dishes lit up with multicolored lights—it was a wow effect! The Tolgut Park and Olen-Gora park areas, which I had never visited before, delighted me with their natural purity and beauty—I'll definitely return here in the summer to enjoy the fresh air and natural bounty," Alina Ivanova shared her impressions.

For Victoria Maltseva, the trip provided an opportunity to learn more not only about the city, its history, and key facts about its "biography," but also how Rosatom works with young professionals, what career opportunities it offers, what support measures exist, and what kind of personnel the company is most interested in.

"The key event of our tour was a meeting with representatives of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation. During group interviews, the company executives repeatedly emphasized that Zheleznogorsk welcomes young professionals—graduates from the Physics Department, the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and the Faculty of Information Technology at NSU, as well as those with humanities backgrounds as teachers, and graduates of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technology—to work in the city's medical institutions. City businesses help young professionals adapt, provide company housing, and offer competitive salaries, creating real opportunities for professional growth," commented Victoria Maltseva.

The second edition has been published new global Times Higher Education (THE) rankings for interdisciplinary researchA total of 911 universities from 94 countries are represented, with 44 Russian universities included in the ranking. NSU has been among the top 5 Russian universities for the second year in a row (rankings 4-7). In the international rankings, NSU ranks 201-250. Novosibirsk State University ranks just behind Moscow State University, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and RUDN University. HSE, SFedU, and UrFU are on par with NSU.

This ranking is based on both objective criteria, based on the SCOPUS scientometric database and a survey of researchers from around the world (65% of the ranking; outputs), and qualitative indicators—"availability of opportunities for interdisciplinary research," "support from management," "presence of a system for rewarding interdisciplinary research at the university," and "availability of indicators of success in interdisciplinary research" (16% of the ranking; process). Another 19% comes from the indicator "funding for interdisciplinary research" (inputs).

Unlike last year's ranking, which only took into account interdisciplinary research in the natural sciences, life sciences, and computer sciences, this year's rankings also include one or more non-STEM disciplines: social sciences, education, psychology, law, economics, or clinical health.

"NSU ranks highly in funding for interdisciplinary research, ranking fourth and seventh in Russia in terms of results. Over the past five years, the number of NSU publications in top-ranked international scientific journals has increased by 30%, with 1,991 citations in SCOPUS in 2024. We expect that by 2025, total funding for scientific research, including extra-budgetary sources, will reach 4 billion rubles. Unlike a single research institute with a specific specialization, NSU can initiate interdisciplinary projects, attract funding for them, create consortiums, and engage institutes in the joint implementation of such projects. Thus, NSU acts as an integrator and center of gravity for the Novosibirsk Scientific Center," commented NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.

Several innovation centers are currently operating at NSU. International Mathematical Center, Advanced Engineering School, Artificial Intelligence Research Center, the NTI Competence Center for New Functional Materials. Most of their research is interdisciplinary. NSU also recently confirmed its position among the leading universities in the "Priority 2030"NSU will use the grant funds to develop three strategic technology projects: biomedicine, small spacecraft and unmanned systems, as well as the use of artificial intelligence in industry and for solving smart city problems.

A delegation from N. M. Fedorovsky Polar State University visited the new campus of Novosibirsk State University, which is being built as part of the national project "Youth and Children." The purpose of the visit was to familiarize themselves with NSU's modern infrastructure and identify potential areas of cooperation in education and research. During the visit, representatives from ZSU also met with NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.

In his speech, Mikhail Fedoruk emphasized how the new campus fits into the university's development strategy and the challenges it enables it to address.

"The new NSU classroom building has significantly expanded our educational capabilities: our available classroom capacity has increased by 25%. This is significant given that the student population at NSU has nearly doubled over the past 20 years. We also now have sufficient space to house a research library with a collection of over 1 million books. The new educational and research center Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU "The new center will house practical training courses, student labs, and Siberia's largest simulation center for medical training. Thanks to this modern infrastructure, we are improving medical education, the transformation of which began in 2024. The new research center will allow us to develop practice-oriented research areas that are underrepresented at the Novosibirsk Scientific Center and in which NSU has every opportunity to become a leader. These include biomedicine, space instrumentation, and artificial intelligence," said Mikhail Fedoruk.

The ZSU delegation toured NSU's new classroom building, which opened on September 1, 2025, and learned about the organization of the educational space and the scientific library. ZSU staff also visited the first-stage facilities, which were completed in 2024—the academic building and leisure center of the NSU Specialized Scientific Center, as well as the university's new dormitories.

"ZSU is embarking on a major and very serious transformation program, primarily in the educational process. We felt it was crucial to get to know a university that is one of the country's leaders not only in its integration with research but also in the organization of educational activities. We visited your new campus and new facilities, which are deeply integrated into education. We are currently undergoing a major renovation of ZSU's main building, and your experience is very useful to us," commented Anton Lopukhin, Vice Rector for Development and Digital Transformation at ZSU.

Polar State University is the northernmost university in the country. To ensure a high level of education and attract the best faculty from across the country, ZSU plans to implement a modular education system, with faculty members coming to teach specific courses in one- or two-week intensive programs. ZSU is industry-focused: the university ranks fourth in the country for graduate employment rates—98% of graduates from Polar State University find employment in their field of study. Thanks to its practice-oriented education and close ties with industrial partners, ZSU graduates are in demand in the labor market. At the same time, the university aims to elevate its theoretical foundation and fundamental education, and is therefore interested in building closer cooperation with Novosibirsk State University, which is traditionally renowned for its ties to science.

"We already have a number of areas of collaboration with the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences—we work with the Institute of Solid State Chemistry and Mechanochemistry, the N.A. Chinakal Institute of Mining, and the Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering. We are currently implementing a major infrastructure project with our partner, Norilsk Nickel, and are establishing new laboratories. Being close to production, real-world applied problems, and working in conjunction with academic research, we can achieve very good results. Therefore, we are interested in collaborating with NSU scientists, inviting them to give lectures, engaging them in joint research projects, and solving applied problems in subsoil use—from geological exploration, mining, and beneficiation to the production of finished products," noted Arkady Tarasevich, Vice-Rector for Research and International Affairs at ZSU.

Specialists from JSC TsNITI Tekhnomash (part of the Rostec State Corporation) presented a working prototype of the first domestically developed microprocessor-controlled hydraulic foot prosthesis at the Congress of Young Scientists held in Sochi. This innovative design is designed to dramatically improve the quality of life of amputees. Unlike most existing passive prostheses, this new device mimics natural gait biomechanics by using an intelligent control system for the hydraulic system.

As part of R&D, NSU employees developed and manufactured important elements of the prosthesis.

"Our task, as part of our contract with our partner, was to develop and manufacture the prosthesis' chassis and tires—composite elements made of carbon fiber and fiberglass, as well as decorative polymer overshoes. A passive version of the prosthesis, assembled from the developed elements, was successfully tested by an amputee. The results obtained using the biomechanical analysis system we were developing showed that the developed prosthesis achieves the required gait parameters," explained the head of the Biomechanics and Medical Engineering research group. Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU Vladimir Serdyukov.

"This is a strategically important project for us as part of the import substitution and development program for high-tech medical products in Russia," noted Technomash representative Maxim Bobkin. "Cooperation with scientists from NSU in this case allowed us to successfully complete a full-scale development in a relatively short timeframe—from modeling the prosthesis's parameters to analyzing its walking characteristics in a clinical setting. Continued collaboration with the university will allow us to conduct comprehensive research and refine the development with the participation of amputees, which will enable us to bring an innovative and in-demand product to market."

The NSU Student Media Center participated for the first time in the nationwide "UniverCity" competition—one of the largest projects supporting student editorial offices, media projects, and initiatives at Russian universities. And it immediately became a finalist: the public page was shortlisted among the 15 best communities in the country.

"UniverCity" is a platform that has been helping universities create and develop their own student editorial offices since 2007: online projects, radio stations, and television studios. The competition brings together hundreds of participants and offers training programs, master classes, and professional expertise for students working in media.

The NSU Student Media Center's public page has only been in existence since August 2024. Despite its short existence, it has quickly become one of the university's most active platforms, with a dynamically growing audience, regular content, and a distinctive style.

"This is very unexpected and very pleasant. Of course, I'd like to say that we've done a great job, and that's true: we work hard. Looking at our progress, it's clear that we're publishing content frequently and it's diverse: videos, photos, texts, posts. We're the youngest public page among the 15 shortlisted, but we're growing very quickly," shares Klavdiya Bereznyakova, head of the Student Media Center.

Other finalists included student media outlets established between 2012 and 2017 and with between 1,600 and 37,000 subscribers. Among these large projects, NSU stood out for its rapid growth and viable concept.

A special feature of the public page is that it is created entirely by students. They come up with ideas, film, edit, write texts, and work on the design and categories.

"The students create all the content, from concept to execution. I'm the public page administrator, but it's the students who shape the community's style. We're extremely honored to be shortlisted and to be among such accomplished colleagues," notes Klavdiya Bereznyakova.

Being shortlisted for the UniverCity competition is an important step in the development of NSU's student media project. It represents recognition of the student team's professionalism and confirms that the media center is becoming a significant platform within the university and beyond.
