Novosibirsk State University (NSU) together with IT holding T1 is implementing Bachelor's degree program "Applied Artificial Intelligence". This year, 150 students will be accepted. Graduates of the program will master one of the most popular areas in the modern labor market. According to experts, 70% of Russian companies are already using AI in their worky1sh, and the demand for professionals with skills in AI and machine learning technologies has tripled in recent yearsY2The deadline for submitting documents for the new bachelor's degree program at NSU is August 25.

The curriculum places special emphasis on mathematical training and a deep understanding of the fundamentals of machine learning. An important part of the program is an extended foreign language course, which allows students to confidently integrate into international projects and team research. The course is filled with practice-oriented modules: practice begins in the second semester and continues throughout the entire period of study.

IT holding T1 participates in the development of curricula, provides access to its own computing resources, and its experts will be involved in teaching and conducting practical classes. The best students will be invited to internships at T1 and will be able to apply for personal scholarships from the company.

— Novosibirsk University pays great attention to training specialists in the field of programming and information technology, our graduates work in leading Russian and foreign IT companies. This sector is characterized by very rapid development, and in order for our students to be in demand in the labor market, we must constantly improve our educational process. Joint programs with industry leaders, including IT holding T1, are one of the most effective ways to achieve this goal, — emphasizes Mikhail Fedoruk, Rector of NSU.

For T1, the partnership with NSU is an investment in the development of human resources and the digital economy of Siberia. Educational initiatives are designed to fill the acute shortage of AI specialists in the country and the region.

— We see our mission not only in creating innovative solutions, but also in forming a personnel reserve for the entire industry. For IT holding T1, participation in the development of educational programs is a strategic step in training highly qualified personnel, without whom it is impossible to implement large-scale digitalization projects. Our joint training programs with universities will help students acquire the skills and competencies that are in demand among employers, including T1, — notes Ekaterina Kolesnikova, Deputy General Director for HR at IT holding T1.

Similar educational programs are also being implemented in other regions of Russia. Partner universities include the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, MAI, UNN, RGRTU, and UrFU.

In total, in 2025, more than 6,000 students across the country will begin training in applied and engineering IT areas developed in cooperation with Russian IT companies that won the Ministry of Digital Development’s Top-AI and Top-IT competitions. This is the largest systemic interaction between Russian IT business and higher education to date.

For more than two weeks, "Boiling Point – St. Petersburg. GUAP" was truly "boiling", despite the midsummer. In each of the halls, the participants of the summer school "Cryptography and Information Security" were working. The traditional event, organized by the Cryptographic Center (Novosibirsk), International Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok, this year the GUAP venue hosted the event. The summer school was held for the seventh time, it brought together more than 35 teachers and over 165 students, postgraduates and schoolchildren from 35 cities of Russia. The geography of the participants is extensive: Tver, Novosibirsk, Voronezh, Khanty-Mansiysk, Sevastopol, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Ufa, Rostov-on-Don, Tyumen, Kaliningrad and other cities of our country.

The head of the school is Natalia Tokareva, associate professor of the Department of Theoretical Cybernetics. Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU, head of the Cryptographic Center (Novosibirsk). The organizers and partners of the summer school in 2025 were the St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, Southern Federal University, Special Technology Center LLC, Practical Security Systems LLC, Infotex JSC, Enseucrypto-lab LLC and NeoQUEST. Vice-Rector for Educational Work and Youth Policy Larisa Nikolaeva and the GUAP team were responsible for the organizational issues of the large-scale event.

Participants received knowledge from leading experts in the scientific and business fields, visited key enterprises in St. Petersburg and interesting excursions, and also united through training and sports games.

The event's partners — universities and companies working in the field of cryptography and information security — provided the summer school participants with not only new and useful knowledge, expert lectures, but also career opportunities and development prospects in the profession. The students were able to learn everything about internships and future careers in companies such as OOO Special Technology Center, OOO Systems of Practical Security, AO Infotex, OOO Enseucrypto-lab and NeoQUEST. Representatives of these organizations personally talked to the students, answered all their questions and told them what steps they should take to take their first career steps in the field of information security.

The basis of the summer school was work on projects. Divided into teams, in which scientific research was carried out under the supervision of curators, the guys were preparing to present each of the projects at the final conference. The topics of the projects touched upon various issues of modern cryptography and information security: algorithms of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, issues of constructing cryptographic protocols for solving authentication, identification, key transfer, and messaging problems. The topics of the projects were suitable for both beginners in the field of cryptography and information security, and for advanced students who had already acquired knowledge as part of their studies.

On July 21, the summer school's final conference took place, where the teams presented the results of their work. 23 research projects developed by the participants were combined by the organizers into a collection of papers. It can be found on the event website.

Participants shared what projects they worked on and what new things they learned during these two busy weeks.

Daria Severukhina, Novosibirsk:

— Our project was dedicated to the topic of post-quantum cryptography. We were engaged in the analysis of the vulnerability of a cryptosystem based on the "lattice theory", namely, the study of side-channel attacks. Post-quantum cryptography is very relevant now, and the topic we were working on is one of the most promising in this area. I study at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics and I study cryptography only in special courses that are held at our university. Therefore, this summer school is a great start to skills and knowledge in this area. In these two weeks, I learned so much information, met leading scientists in this area, I managed to work with them, which is very valuable. I am very glad that I got the opportunity to acquire this knowledge in practice.

Alina Skibina, Saint Petersburg:

— In our project on the topic of “Development of a prototype of a cryptographic hash function,” we developed a prototype of a hash function called “Gorynych.” We tried to create a hash function based on the Russian standard “Stribog,” inspired by the SURF function of Bernstein. This function has a simple design, high stability, and speed. These are the properties that modern hash functions should have. The team turned out to be friendly, well-coordinated, I enjoyed our interaction, I did not feel discomfort. There were many jokes, funny moments that diluted the intense work. I am very pleased with my participation in the summer school. This is not my first participation in such an event, so I was ready for intensive work. The most important skill is experience working in a team. And the lectures are very informative and interesting in that they touch on many areas of cryptography, and perhaps I will work in some of them in the future.

Anna Kozubova, Novorossiysk

— I finished the 9th grade and got to the summer school. Thanks to my participation, I decided on the direction that I would choose to study at GUAP — "Information Security". Many useful lectures were held for us, and although they were more focused on people who were already studying in this specialty, I was able to study this topic additionally and become interested in it. I want to thank my team, where friendly and working relationships were formed over these two weeks. It was precisely because we united that we were able to prepare such a wonderful project. But none of this would have happened if it were not for our mentor — a true master of his craft — Bezzateev Sergey Valentinovich. In a word, the summer school became an important event for me.

Kirill Gromov, Tver:

— Our project was dedicated to electronic signatures of documents. We considered post-quantum algorithms, which have a higher complexity and are designed so that with the next stage of computer technology development they will not be hackable. We also considered vulnerabilities that are better known at the moment. This is a very good experience to find out what will change in this area now. The scientific community, the experts who supported our projects are, first of all, our like-minded people and people who are interested in the development of this area. To communicate and work with such people almost on equal terms is a very good experience. A wonderful team, new knowledge, a beautiful city, and, despite the fatigue, there was strength for communication.

Artem Kolbeev, Sevastopol:

— This is my second time participating in the summer school "Cryptography and Information Security" and working with the same scientific supervisor — Oleg Sergeevich Zaikin. He guides the team in the right direction. We managed to choose a promising topic for study. I really liked the organization of the summer school — everything was organized competently, and we were given time not only for work, but also for excursions, recreation, and sports. The venue is suitable for comfortable work. We were given a number of very interesting lectures. And several ideas for further scientific developments arose.

The International School of Quantum Technologies ISQT was held in Moscow, bringing together 30 of the best students from all over Russia. Among the participants were Ksenia Kozlenko and Ekaterina Kozlova, first-year master's students Physics Department of NSUThey passed a competitive selection and presented poster reports, presenting their own research in the field of quantum physics.

— The selection was based on the CV, motivation letter, and recommendation letter. The scientific supervisor told me about the school. I applied and was included in the list of participants. I was very worried, but it turned out I was in vain. The atmosphere was warm and truly student-like. The poster session was not a formal defense before the committee — you could freely communicate, share experiences, ask questions, and listen to others. This was the first conference where I really wanted to stay and talk to everyone, — says Ksenia Kozlenko.

The topic of her speech was the development of a quantum computer on neutral atoms. This architecture is currently being actively developed in the USA, but remains technically complex.

— My task is to model logical operations in the context of quantum computing and find out whether it is possible to simplify the system without losing accuracy. After school, I understood more clearly in what direction to develop, and even found answers to some questions about work. And I also met guys who are truly inspiring — everyone was passionate about their topic and sincerely wanted to share knowledge. This impressed me the most, — Ksenia explains.

Ekaterina Kozlova presented a study on the Hanle effect in the ground state of alkali metal atoms and its application in quantum magnetometry.

— Based on this effect, it is possible to develop miniature and very sensitive magnetometers. They can be used in medicine (for example, for magnetoencephalography), in geophysics, in navigation, for creating magnetic maps, in space and fundamental science. That is, this is not just “theory for the sake of theory”, but a completely practical direction, and I am glad that I was able to present it at such a level, — explains Ekaterina.

One of the most memorable moments for her was a visit to the RCC laboratory, where they work with SQUIDs – superconducting quantum interference sensors.

— These sensors are the main competitors of optically pumped magnetometers, which we make in our lab. It was useful to compare approaches and equipment. We even held a SQUID in our hands and saw how it works — this gave me even more understanding of my topic, — Ekaterina shares.

The students call the poster presentation format particularly valuable.

“It’s like a regular report, only in a live format – communication takes place right next to the poster, you can immediately discuss the nuances, argue, get feedback, and you can also go and see what others are doing and get inspired,” says Ekaterina.

Now the girls continue to work on their research and are preparing to present new results at the upcoming conference – "Nevskaya Photonics".

Congratulations to the girls and we wish them success!

In August 2025, the II International Forum of Russia-Africa Cooperation "Education. Business. Culture – 2025" will be held as part of the XII International Forum "Technoprom-2025". The event is organized by the Center for Public Diplomacy, NSU and the Consortium of Russian Universities for the Development of Cooperation with African Countries.

An impressive delegation from African countries plans to take part in the forum:

— Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Russian Federation of the following countries: Republic of Mali, Republic of Chad, Republic of Guinea, Burkina Faso, Republic of Niger, Rwanda, Namibia, Angola and Ghana.

— Ministers of Education of the Republic of Chad, the Republic of Guinea and Burkina Faso, Ministers of Industry, Digitalization and Agriculture of Burkina Faso.

— The Presidents of the Academies of Sciences of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, the Rectors of the Abdou Moumouni University and the University of Agadez (both from the Republic of Niger).

— Heads of the national oil companies of Burkina Faso and Niger.

— Mayor of the city of Ouagadougou (the capital of Burkina Faso).

Let us recall that the first forum "Russia-Africa" was held last year on the initiative of NSU and the Center for Public Diplomacy. One of the results was the creation of a Consortium of Russian Universities for the development of cooperation with African countries.

This year, the Consortium members will analyze the current interaction of Russian universities with African countries, discuss the challenges and obstacles that hinder mutually beneficial cooperation, identify key areas and formulate a roadmap (work plan) for the Consortium for the next year. The roadmap will be based on a systemic approach that ensures the consolidation of efforts by Russian universities and the unification of actions at all levels – from government agencies to the universities themselves. The implementation of the proposed measures will improve the quality of education and improve the culture of mutual understanding between the regions. The implementation of these initiatives will strengthen Russia's position on the African continent and will become the basis for the further development of bilateral relations.

The Forum also plans to discuss joint work in the areas of school and secondary specialized education. The Center for Public Diplomacy and NSU plan to hold talks with the Minister of Secondary Education, Vocational and Technical Training of Burkina Faso Boubacar Sawadogo on the possibilities of cooperation and to develop an algorithm for joint actions.

The following are promising educational projects in African countries:

— The “Russian Teacher Abroad” program, within the framework of which students from the pilot international class of the African school will study the Russian language.

— A program for training foreign students in working specialties under joint educational programs of African and Novosibirsk colleges. Those who successfully complete the training will be able to continue their studies at Novosibirsk universities. The pilot project includes colleges implementing training in agricultural, technical and natural science areas.

— The African continent is a priority region for the export of Russian education. Since 2024, NSU has been actively developing cooperation with African countries. In this context, agreements were signed with Thomas Sankara University (Burkina Faso) and Abdou Moumouni University (Niger). From December 2024 to July 2025, a preparatory department in the medical and biological profile operated jointly with the Russian House in Niger, in which 24 people studied. From March to the end of July 2025, online courses in the Russian language were opened at Thomas Sankara University, which were completed by 50 bachelors and masters. The next stage will be the organization of preparatory courses in the medical and biological profile, after which students will be able to continue their studies at NSU. The University also plans to organize scientific internships for young scientists and graduate students from Burkina Faso for 3-6 months, said Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU.

Another interesting project is the preliminary agreement reached between NSU and the University of Saint Dominic (USDAO) from Burkina Faso on joint training of medical personnel for this West African state. The cooperation agreement between the universities may be signed this summer.

The NSU Advanced Engineering School has launched three unique advanced training programs within the framework of the national project "New Materials and Chemistry". These courses are aimed at training specialists capable of solving critical import substitution problems in high-tech industries. The training is free thanks to a state subsidy.

The national project "New Materials and Chemistry" sets an ambitious goal: to achieve technological independence of Russia in the production of chemical products, advanced materials and rare earth metals by 2030. To do this, it is necessary to train a new generation of personnel – engineers who are proficient in digital design tools and capable of implementing innovations.

NSU PISh was among the winners of the competition of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation for the provision of subsidies for the implementation of educational programs. Director of NSU PISh Sergey Golovin noted:

— The training of elite engineers is carried out through a project approach with the participation of high-tech companies. These courses are a tool for closing the personnel shortage in strategic sectors of the economy.

The courses were developed jointly with industrial partners – enterprises of the petrochemical cluster, and cover popular areas of CFD modeling.

Basic Course on Modeling Flow Dynamics in Ansys Fluent CFD Package 

The ANSYS software suite is an advanced suite of computer-aided engineering modeling tools that uses the finite element method.

The main objective of this course is to introduce students to the basic principles of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) modeling. Three main stages can be distinguished: preprocessing — preparation of a geometric model, creation of a finite element mesh, setting the physical properties of the medium, initial and boundary conditions; calculation stage, postprocessing — visualization and interpretation of the obtained calculation results, assessment of the adequacy of the selected model. The course covers all stages of hydrodynamics modeling in the Ansys environment. As a result, each participant in the program will be able to solve several problems from start to finish using the Ansys Fluent package.

Video about the course 

Computer simulation of reactive flows in the Ansys Fluent software package

Ansys Fluent can be used to simulate a wide range of chemical processes.

There are several approaches to mathematical modeling of chemical processes. This course examines an approach that simultaneously calculates both flow hydrodynamics and chemical transformations. This is possible using the Ansys Fluent package, a modern and versatile software suite that allows you to take into account the flow of the medium, the thermal processes that occur during this, as well as chemical transformations during reactions and combustion. Students will not only learn about the theoretical foundations of mathematical models, but will also solve several problems – from creating a geometric model and constructing a grid to performing calculations and processing the results.

Video about the course

Course on modeling heat transfer processes in the CFD package Ansys Fluent

All types of heat transfer, such as conduction, convection and radiation, can be calculated in the Ansys Fluent software package.

There are three types of heat exchange: conduction, convection and radiation. The course offers basic mathematical models for all of the above processes. Using the example of such problems as mixing liquids of different temperatures, heating a thick-walled closed metal cell with air, and propagation of a rectilinear radiation beam, students will learn about choosing physical models in the Ansys Fluent PC, setting the physical properties of the medium for such problems, and will gain experience in solving them and processing the results. The course will be an excellent starting point for modeling heat exchange problems in hydrodynamics.

Video about the course

The courses are designed for students and citizens of the Russian Federation with higher or secondary specialized education. All programs are conducted remotely with a flexible schedule. Upon completion of training, participants receive a state-issued certificate of advanced training.

On July 10, Novosibirsk State University hosted a fascinating economic quest, “Knowledge — Money,” in which 65 high school students from different schools in Novosibirsk took part. It was not just an intellectual challenge, but also a real immersion into the world of economics, where knowledge, logic, and teamwork become the key to success.

The quest was organized by the public organization "Laboratory of Economics and Business" with the support of Faculty of Economics, NSU, the “First” movement and the low-rise eco-quarter “Spectrum”.

—The Laboratory of Economics and Business was created three years ago. Our mission is to develop schoolchildren's interest in economics and to form a culture of systems thinking. The first event we held last year was a course of lectures and interactive seminars "Basics of Economics and Business for Schoolchildren". Instead of the planned 20 people, more than 60 took part in it. We realized that schoolchildren have a huge interest in economics and new educational formats. This is how the idea of a quest was born, which we decided to hold in the summer, — said Dmitry Markov, a lecturer in the Department of Management of the Faculty of Economics of NSU, head of the laboratory.

The participants united into 14 teams, each of which went through 13 stations in four thematic "economic laboratories" in three hours. At each station, the teams passed tests on knowledge, logic and ingenuity, solved problems of varying difficulty levels and earned points. The maximum for each station was 100 points, and at the end the strongest team was determined.

1. Systems Analysis Laboratory

The children were given tasks that clearly demonstrated the importance of a systematic approach to solving problems. A crossword, a fillword, and a Japanese puzzle called "Bridges" — all of this forced the participants to think logically, find patterns and relationships. And most importantly, it helped them better understand how economic processes are structured in reality.

2. Laboratory of Economic Intuition

Here, participants encountered economic puzzles, asset turnover tasks, and cases that required filling in missing terms. These tasks helped participants not only remember the terms, but also understand how they work in the context of business and finance.

3. Business Analytics Lab

It turned out to be the most difficult — and, perhaps, the most educational. The kids had to understand the financial statements of the Magnit retail chain, pass tests on formal logic, and solve numerical problems that are used when hiring in large financial companies. This gave the schoolchildren the opportunity to “try on” the role of a business analyst and understand how interesting and in-demand this profession is.

4. Bipolar Laboratory

This lab turned out to be the most creative and memorable. Participants had to not only think, but also act:

Assemble a product according to the technical specifications from a construction set. Assemble a puzzle from the logos of famous brands and compare them with the companies' missions. Restore the system by analogy with the game "Tetris". Assemble slides with company analytics to create a complete picture.

These tasks developed not only logic and economic thinking, but also teamwork skills, attentiveness and creativity.

Each laboratory had its own curators, who were students from the Faculty of Economics of NSU.

Artem Bezrukov commanded the business analytics laboratory.

— Three stations: calculation tasks, a logic storm and a hellish quiz on financial reporting. I thought that my stations would be the hardest for the participants, but the guys turned out to be great! We were especially impressed with the financial reporting of Magnit. We compared profitability, revenue, turnover — like analysts with real cases! Honestly, I thought that out of 100 points our maximum would be 50, but I was pleasantly surprised by other results!) I admit, the logic test turned out to be the most tricky. Only two teams were able to solve it 100 out of 100! Apparently, numbers are closer to them than puzzles.) Even my fifth-graders learned to calculate profitability! — said Artem.

Kira Kurmasheva was responsible for the bipolar laboratory.

—We had a great time and enjoyed it as much as the quest participants. Our lab had the most stations — four. All the tasks in my lab were interactive, the kids were asked to assemble a flower from a construction set, restore economic slides, assemble puzzles with logos of famous companies, and solve a riddle. All the tasks were quite easy, but very interesting. Our lab had the highest average score for the quest.

I am very glad that our event attracted so many children from all over the region. During the game, I received a lot of positive feedback about the quest. I hope that I will participate in many more similar projects from the laboratory of economics and business! – Kira shared.

As a result, all teams completed all stations, showed good results and acquired valuable skills. The winner of the quest was the team "EkoMi", which scored the highest number of points.

All participants were awarded raffle tickets and delicious pizza, which was a pleasant end to a busy but exciting day.

Here's what the event participants thought about the quest.

Taisiya Gershun, 8th grade, OC "Gornostay":

— Although I was never particularly interested in economics, the quest even made me think about enrolling in the economics department! An interesting format that helps to apply knowledge from economics in practice. During the quest, you learn to work together and make decisions quickly. It was especially interesting to solve economic puzzles and solve different problems. At the end, there was an announcement of the winners and pizza!!

 

Vladimir Rimmer, 9th grade, Lyceum No. 130:

— My mother signed me up for the quest, for which I am very grateful to her. I got a lot of new emotions, made new acquaintances. I really liked the idea itself, the organization and, of course, the surprise in the form of pizza after the end. If I were to rate the quest on a ten-point scale, it would definitely be 10 out of 10!

 

Daria Rakova, 9th grade, OC "Gornostay":

— Overall, the event was interesting and useful. The tasks were varied, you had to think and act. I especially liked two things: bridges and a crossword puzzle. These logic tasks are just super, and everything was exciting with the team. Overall, I spent my time usefully, learned something new and laughed.

 

The Laboratory of Economics and Business is already drawing up a plan for future events, where schoolchildren not only gain new knowledge, but also come into contact with university life.

— The guys spent the whole day at NSU, got to know the university, its teachers and students better. We are sure that many of them will choose NSU as the place of their admission and further education, — Dmitry Markov emphasized.
