An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Association of International Students is a community whose main goal is to support international students in Novosibirsk, strengthen friendships, host events celebrating cultural diversity, provide academic support to students at Novosibirsk universities, and much more.

At the beginning of the meeting, Roman Karbushev, a specialist in the NSU Education Export Department, outlined the key objectives:

This year, we have a lot of work ahead of us, related to the development and promotion of our branch's activities. Our team is full of enthusiastic individuals with plenty of ideas for how to further develop our activities, and I hope there will be even more of them today. The main task today is to present a report on the past year, share our plans for the future, and, of course, welcome new members to our team.

Next, Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU, delivered a welcoming speech:

According to last year's data, 9,500 international students from 60 countries were studying in the Novosibirsk Region—a significant number. The region has ambitious goals: to increase the number of students by 50% by 2030. The city is open to welcoming international students, and its universities are also ready to welcome students from abroad. A specially developed regional program for the development of education exports aims to not only increase the number of international students but also create a comfortable environment for them to live in the city, so that during their studies, your university becomes an alma mater you will remember fondly.

Olga Naumova, director of the Yunost art residency, also addressed the participants: "I am pleased to welcome you today, including on behalf of Vasily Viktorovich Noskov, head of the Novosibirsk Region Department of Youth Policy. I hope that your activism and interest in developing the International Students Association will benefit you, the region, and those young people in your home country to whom you will share your experiences in the Novosibirsk Region."

Avishka Alagiyavanna, president of the Novosibirsk branch, presented a report on the AIS's work, sharing with activists what the association has accomplished over the past year.

AIS, together with the leaders of the International Friendship Club, held a joint meeting with Irina Yuryevna Sukhorukova, Head of the Permit and Visa Department of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Novosibirsk Region, where they discussed migration legislation, medical examinations for international students, and other topics. The association plans to hold another meeting with the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the migration legislation has been amended.

A mini-football tournament was held at NSTU, hosting six teams from seven universities. AIS also attended the International Youth Forum "Russia Made Us Friends 2025," which aims to bring together international student leaders from Russia, train them to work at the AIS RF branch, and introduce them to the diversity of Russian culture.

From August 27 to 29, 2025, the Russian Association of Foreign Students Media School was held in the Moscow region. This large-scale event brought together 85 students from 31 countries, representing universities across Russia. Among them were seven students from Novosibirsk, including representatives of Novosibirsk State University.

For three days, participants immersed themselves in the world of media and digital technologies. The Media School program included a media quiz, where students learned to create engaging content; design workshops and Figma sessions; development of new sections for regional AIS branches; and training sessions on teamwork, time management, and an active social media presence.

"When I learned about this forum, I immediately knew I had to participate. The topics covered at the media school align well with my desire to provide as much information as possible to international students coming to Russia to ease their adaptation. Initially, they face a number of challenges related to learning new languages, a different education system, and so on," noted Josué Pudiugo, a second-year doctoral student at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at NSU and a participant in the Media School.

According to participants, the Media School became not only an educational platform but also a place for sharing experiences, pursuing creative pursuits, and expanding their network. Here, students not only mastered current media trends but also met inspiring people, made new friends, and strengthened their international connections.

"Initially, I was offered to attend the 'Heart of AIS' forum, and to be honest, it wasn't a priority for me. But then, when I arrived and saw the atmosphere, my eyes lit up, and I came back so energized that I want to make an even greater contribution to the development of our branch this year. This was my first trip with the guys. I had a great time the entire two days, and I'm glad I met AIS participants from all over Russia and worked with them on content creation," added Laylo Abdurakhmanova, a student at SibUPK.

The Association's immediate plans include holding the traditional Indian festival of Diwali at the Novosibirsk House of Scientists and preparing an event to coincide with National Unity Day.

NSU launches academic exchange program with Peking University

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In August 2025, a group of students Faculty of Geology and Geophysics Novosibirsk State University (NSU GGF) took part in an internship in sedimentology, stratigraphy and paleontology organized by Peking University for the first time. The group included one foreign student – Avishka Alagiyavanna from Sri Lanka, a second-year master's student at NSU GGF. The group was led by NSU postgraduate student Margarita Luzan.

The internship lasted two weeks and took place in southwest China in Guizhou Province, known for its unique habitats of marine vertebrates that existed in the Triassic period of the Mesozoic era. These places are important for understanding the restoration of marine ecosystems and the evolution of marine reptiles after the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period. This academic year, students from Peking University will visit the NSU geological training ground "Shira" (Khakassia), where students of the NSU Faculty of Geology and Geophysics undergo geological survey practice.

NSU GGF students underwent geological practice in mixed groups with Chinese students. Each route group included 1-2 NSU students. They worked together at observation points, attended theoretical classes and prepared daily reports on their activities.

— Our internship began with studying the most ancient deposits, dating back 900 million years. We gradually moved on to younger layers. Our acquaintance with the unique geological and paleontological artifacts of China began with the museum at Peking University, which houses rich mineralogical and paleontological collections. Then we flew to Guizhou Province, where the main internship continued, including sedimentological and paleontological aspects. This province is home to two lagerstätten — unique fossil sites where, due to special conditions, not only hard parts of skeletons are well preserved, but also imprints of soft tissues of animals and plants. We studied rock sequences and observed changes in sedimentation settings, including sections with coal interlayers. It is known that coals are formed in continental conditions, and limestones formed in marine shelf conditions are found next to them. We found various traces of ancient life – brachiopods, foraminifera and mineral samples, – Margarita Luzan shared her impressions of the internship.

A highlight for NSU students was a visit to the so-called "golden nail", which serves as a reference point on the stratigraphic section and defines the lower boundary of the stage on the geochronological scale. In these sections, the boundary between geological systems is clearly visible. The students also visited the Xinyi Geopark, which contains lagerstätten, and unique finds from them are housed in museums around the world.

— In such a short time, our students have seen a great many geological artifacts, which they were shown both in museums and on specific outcrops. Now they have a clear idea of the structure of sedimentary basins that formed many hundreds of millions of years ago. This knowledge is extremely important for geologists. For our part, we can offer Chinese students an internship at our educational geological site "Shira" (Khakassia), where all the conditions for practical training and accommodation have been created. As part of mixed groups, they will be able to get a detailed idea of the structure of sedimentary basins and the formation of igneous rocks already on our territory, — noted Dean of the NSU Geological Faculty, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Valery Vernikovsky.

This internship was the result of agreements on cooperation in the field of earth sciences reached during the visit of the Peking University delegation to NSU this spring. As cooperation develops, the parties will form joint research projects. The leadership of Peking University expressed interest in conducting geological internships for their students.

— In the near future, a cooperation agreement between our universities will be prepared, which will spell out all the important points. The signing of the agreement is planned for the end of this year. Such internships allow our students to get acquainted with various geological practices, which is very important for young scientists. Peking University is one of the oldest universities in China, founded in 1898. It ranks second in Chinese university rankings and is among the top 50 universities in the world. Therefore, we are interested in cooperation with this university, — noted the head of the NSU education export department, Evgeny Sagaydak.

The event was attended by young engineers and researchers from various Russian universities. They presented their experience of studying, participating in projects and interacting with industrial partners.

Natalia Grozova noted the practical orientation of the training in her speech: As part of our master's program, we were not limited to fundamental disciplines, but studied in depth specialized areas of polymer and composite materials. Internships at enterprises such as UEC Saturn and cooperation with the Kabardino-Balkarian State University allowed us to immerse ourselves in the processes of synthesis and processing of materials. This approach made it possible not only to master the theory, but also to immediately apply knowledge in real projects.

The Polytechnic engineer spoke about the main areas of research at the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory, on which the master's program is based:

technologies of impregnation with thermoplastic polymers; technologies of welding composite materials from thermoplastic polymers; development of technology for automated laying out of thermoplastic tape; development of technology and equipment for recycling waste and end-of-life products from thermoplastic polymer composite materials (TPCM); development of optically transparent composite materials for use in solar batteries; development of auxiliary technologies and equipment; study of the processes of formation and evolution of the structure of TPCM (crystallization kinetics, radiation resistance, aging, etc.).

“Our laboratory develops a technology for impregnating tapes with thermoplastic polymers, which was implemented in the interests of the composite division of Rosatom – JSC Umatex,” said Natalia Grozova. – My direct participation in the project was related to assistance in developing a technology for impregnating thermoplastic polymers to obtain a filament continuously reinforced for 3D printing. This is one of the leading technologies that is currently being implemented in our country. In early 2023, a laboratory unit with four lines was developed and manufactured to obtain continuously reinforced filament on the superstructural and high-temperature polymer polyetheretherketone. It was a laboratory unit with a capacity of 500 meters per hour. In 2024, we developed a pilot industrial unit for 40 reels, which has a record productivity of 12,000 meters per hour.”

The topic of the final qualification work and master's thesis of the graduate of the SPbPU PISh "Digital Engineering" is "Development of optically transparent composite materials for the protection of solar elements of satellites". This work is carried out in cooperation with the company "Bureau 1440".

We have conducted a large cycle of research related to the study of methods for obtaining and ensuring resistance to radiation exposure of optically transparent polymer composite materials based on thermoplastic polyurethane and glass fillers of various shapes to create protective coatings for solar cells used in spacecraft, Natalia Grozova summarized.

Following the pitch session, participants confirmed that leading engineering schools are currently shaping a new generation of engineers who combine fundamental training with industry skills.

Schoolchildren Choose the Future. Open Day at the Polytechnic

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Last Saturday, the Main Academic Building of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University was once again filled with ringing voices and inquisitive glances. The University held a big celebration for future applicants and their parents, which combined three key events at once: Open Day of Children's Education, Open Day of Preparatory Courses, and the exciting Polytech Quest.

This day became a real journey into the world of science and technology for guests of all ages. Schoolchildren were able to touch the future, and their parents were able to get answers to all questions about additional education and preparation for admission to the largest engineering university in Russia.

From Robots to Drones: The Future Starts Here

The exhibition of clubs and master classes became the center of attraction for future engineers. Children from 5th to 11th grade were able to immerse themselves in the world of additive technologies. They learned how to print on 3D printers, understood the principles of drones and got acquainted with robots under the guidance of experienced mentors and current students.

The key university departments working with schoolchildren presented their programs: the Center for Work with Applicants, the Center for Work with Educational Organizations, the House of Scientists in Lesnoy, the Creative Studio, the Sports Complex, preparatory courses for the Engineering and Construction Institute, and the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education. The Academy of Informatics for Schoolchildren also introduced future graduates to its programs and organized an exciting quest. The SPbPU History Museum opened its exposition for the children, and the Natural Sciences Lyceum told about admission for graduates from the 9th grade. In addition to the university's educational programs, the guests learned about the opportunities to participate in Olympiads, competitions, and shifts at the Sirius Educational Center.

An Open Day of the Polytechnic preparatory courses was held especially for high school students and their parents. Guests had a unique opportunity to personally communicate with teachers and organizers, ask all questions about preparing for the Unified State Exam, Basic State Exam and entrance examinations, learn about the intricacies of admission and immediately enroll in courses.

An intellectual adventure in the heart of campus

The Polytechnic Quest for schoolchildren from the Academy of Informatics was a bright end to the day. The teams went on an intellectual walk around the Polytechnic Park. They had to find checkpoints and complete tasks that required not only logic and erudition, but also the ability to work in a team.

Traditionally, at the very beginning of the academic year, we opened the doors of the university to schoolchildren of different ages.
