A two-day project-analytical session of the NSU Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) was held at Novosibirsk State University. It was a continuation of a series of events that began in July of this year. The goal of the session was to identify a strategy for transforming the NSU Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) in line with the modern model of higher education.

The work was attended by the directors, faculty, and staff of the NSU Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics, students, residents, master's students, and postgraduate students of the institute, as well as invited partners and experts.

At the beginning of the event, NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk delivered a welcoming speech:

Akademgorodok was initially created as a multidisciplinary system, since being on the global frontier is impossible without interaction with other sciences. I believe that dialogue, discussion, and exchange of opinions between experts in various fields are very beneficial for all participants. I wish you productive work at the strategic session.

The project-analytical session began with a brief overview of the results of the first event, followed by a detailed discussion by Svetlana Kraichinskaya, PhD in Pedagogical Sciences and organizer of the project-analytical work.

"When changes occur and new programs and areas emerge, the question always arises: how to move forward. Therefore, the first session was necessary to understand the ongoing changes using the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies as an example. At the previous meeting, we discussed the current situation at the institute in terms of educational programs: each director described the structure of their program, staff training, development areas, as well as the target audience and how they implement training. We also reviewed the experience of other universities, analyzed our own institute, and considered how we could differentiate ourselves from them. However, we didn't have time to discuss some important points, so we decided to hold a second strategic session, which will focus on competencies," Svetlana Kraichinskaya shared.

The goals of the second session are to engage the IMMT team in the implementation of a modern model of higher education across the institute's programs: general medicine, psychology, medical cybernetics, and industrial pharmacy; to develop a new systemic structure for IMMT based on a network principle and cooperation with relevant experts; and to transition the institute's educational, project-based, and research activities to network interaction.

"Our main goal is to showcase not only the institute's competencies and capabilities, but also to explore the issue of interdisciplinary collaboration: institute-to-institute, faculty-to-faculty, department-to-department, and so on. Today and tomorrow, we will discuss how we communicate with non-medical institutions and what these interactions can lead to," added Yulia Samoylova, Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, and Acting Director of the NSU Institute of Medical and Technical Technologies.

Yulia Samoilova then formulated modern approaches to medical education.

"Comprehensive fundamental and clinical training for future doctors, new educational programs such as medical cybernetics and industrial pharmacy, combined with a scientific foundation, and ambitious projects allow NSU to be at the forefront of the medicine of the future. Personalized medicine, digital technologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration are not the future, but our present," Yulia Samoylova emphasized.

Also during the introductory part, the participants heard a report by Olga Pervushina, Acting Deputy Director of the Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Technologies in the field of Psychology.

Work continued in expert groups focusing on the Institute's educational programs. Experts and participants discussed in detail the development direction of the Institute. Particular attention was paid to interdisciplinary projects involving the Institute's combined scientific resources.

The second day was devoted to the network principle of organizing modern education. Andrey Reus, Doctor of Economics and Director of the Pestovo Moscow School of Management, delivered a presentation. The discussion focused on the development of a new systemic structure for the Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Technologies (IMMT) based on the network principle and cooperation with competent stakeholders. The concept of an individualized educational trajectory and the development of a unified university startup environment play a key role in the new educational model.

As a result of the two-day work, the session participants formulated principles, ideas, and approaches for building a new model of medical education.

The project is being implemented within the framework of the Priority 2030 strategic academic leadership program.

The competition involved pitching projects that addressed pressing youth needs. The regional stage was won by the NSU team "Psycheya," comprised of students majoring in Psychology. Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) NSU. The next stage is the finals in Moscow, where the girls will once again present their project to a jury and compete for a grant for its implementation.

"We presented our project, which we'd been developing over the summer, and also listened to the other participants' presentations. After the first seven teams had presented, we were asked not just to wait for the results but to participate in interactive activities. We completed stations with tasks that required teamwork, met other students, and also participated in a training session. The time flew by, and we were already at the awards ceremony. The result is first place in the regional round, which we're very happy about! Now we'll work on improving the project and preparing for the next stage of the competition," shared Alena Vorobyova, a third-year student at the Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Engineering at NSU.

"As captain, you feel a special responsibility for the entire work: how it was structured, whether it was sufficient. Now we'll represent our region at the national level," added Anastasia Korotkova, a third-year student at the Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Engineering at NSU. "A lot needs to be improved, but we're energized by this victory, so everything should work out!"

The NSU "Psycheya" team presented a project to create a platform for anonymous communication, prevention, psychological support, and adaptation assistance for first-year students.

"The event was a great opportunity for us not only to present our work but also to learn from other participants. I left inspired and full of desire to continue developing both myself and the team," said Ksenia Abysheva, a second-year student at the Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Engineering (IMMT) of NSU.

For the Psyche team, winning the regional stage is an important step toward implementing a socially significant project aimed at supporting and integrating first-year students into university.

We will be following the progress of the NSU team and wish them good luck in the next stage of the competition!

The 4th School of Young Scientists, "Application of Synchrotron Radiation for Solving Biological Problems," is taking place at Novosibirsk State University from October 1st to 3rd. Ninety-five participants are participating, most of whom are young researchers. Forty-seven of the participants are NSU students. Many of them are also employees of research institutions: the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology "Vector" of Rospotrebnadzor, the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the A.V. Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Representatives of ITMO University, the SKIF Collective Use Center, Kazan Federal University, and Moscow State University are also participating. Lomonosov, Tyumen State University, Sechenov University (First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov), Tomsk State University, and others. More than 30 school participants came from 11 Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Tyumen, Pushchino (Moscow region), Vladivostok, Krasnoyarsk, and Barnaul.

At the opening of the School, the Rector of Novosibirsk State University, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk, delivered a welcoming speech:

Novosibirsk State University is actively involved in establishing the SKIF Common Use Center and developing its user base. NSU's Physics Department has launched new educational programs: starting in their second year, all master's students take two courses related to synchrotron and neutron research. Educational programs in this area have also been introduced at NSU's Faculty of Natural Sciences. In 2024, NSU established the Center for X-ray, Synchrotron, and Neutron Research, which will be located in the research center currently under construction, part of the second phase of the new NSU campus. The launch of the SKIF-NSU educational and research station is planned for the SKIF Common Use Center. The university will actively participate in all research programs related to synchrotron research. For example, a number of projects, including pharmaceutical and medical ones, are being implemented within the Priority 2030 program. I am confident that with the commissioning of the SKIF Center for Collective Use, great prospects and limitless possibilities will open up for scientists.

Anastasia Gladysheva, Head of the Laboratory, Senior Researcher at the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology Vector (Rospotrebnadzor), and a PhD in Biology, discussed the implementation of the project "Application of Synchrotron Radiation for Virology Research to Develop New Immunobiological Drugs," which is being implemented under the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research and Research Infrastructure until 2030, and its future prospects.

-Within the framework of the current project of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program (FNF) of the development of synchrotron and neutron studies, three key areas are identified: tumor tesds, the study of new viruses and the development of immunobiological drugs. The project is aimed at research in the field of oncological diseases. This approach combines diagnosis and treatment, that is, it implies the ability to simultaneously visualize a cancerous tumor using a synchrotron source and destroy it using oncolytic viruses with certain transgenes. The study of new viruses is equally important. To develop effective biological products to combat them, you need to know how they are arranged. To complete this task, it is necessary to use a structural-oriented approach using synchrotron methods, which will allow us not only to fundamentally study how new viruses are arranged, but also by targeted, on the basis of structural data, to develop immunobiological drugs both against the new and long-known viruses, to struggle with direct effects of direct action before. But in order for these studies to take place, we need scientific personnel. NSU took the solution of this problem, for which we are grateful to the university. For the fourth time, a school of young scientists is being held, an additional professional education program is being implemented annually. This year we received several other university graduates who are already full -fledged researchers, ”said Anastasia Gladysheva.

Sergey Arkhipov, Head of the Laboratory at the Crystallization Educational and Methodological Center of the NSU Institute of Chemical Technology, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Solid State Chemistry at the NSU Faculty of Natural Sciences, and Senior Researcher at the SKIF Center for Collective Use, delivered an introductory lecture on the SKIF Center's potential for research in biology. Sergey Sedykh, PhD in Biology, presented the educational programs of the NSU Advanced Engineering School, and Boris Zakharov, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, spoke about the Master's program "Methodological Support for Physicochemical Studies of Condensed Phases" at the NSU Faculty of Natural Sciences.

The School's goal is to highlight the potential of synchrotron radiation for studying biological samples. Young researchers will learn about the key stages of studying biopolymer crystals using X-ray diffraction analysis, biopolymer solutions using small-angle X-ray scattering, and the use of X-ray fluorescence analysis and tomography to study biological samples.

A school for young scientists in this field has been held annually at NSU since 2022. The first school focused on X-ray diffraction analysis, which is available at the first-stage station 1.2 "Structural Diagnostics" of the Siberian Ring Photon Source. The second school's program included small-angle X-ray scattering, whose applicability in structural biology is also significantly expanded by the use of synchrotron radiation. The third school emphasized the combined use of molecular modeling methods and experimental approaches to solving problems in structural biology. Thus, the organizers linked the theoretical and experimental sections as complementary. At last year's school, each participant was provided with a full-fledged workstation, creating comfortable conditions for mastering the fundamentals of experimental data processing and structural modeling skills.

"This year's School is unique in that it includes in-depth modules on processing X-ray diffraction data and analyzing small-angle scattering data combined with gel filtration. It also includes a practical component on processing tomographic data and using X-ray fluorescence analysis to study biological samples," explained Sergei Arkhipov.

The School program traditionally includes a theoretical component and practical sessions. Roman Moryachkov, PhD (Kazan Scientific Center, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Krasnoyarsk), will introduce participants to the small-angle X-ray scattering method for solving problems in structural biology. Sofia Borisevich, Doctor of Chemical Sciences (SKIF Center for Collective Use), who is also a part-time employee of NSU, will discuss the combined application of experimental methods and molecular modeling techniques to solving problems in structural biology. Sergey Rashchenko, PhD (Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences), will introduce participants to the fundamental principles of synchrotron radiation interactions with biological objects. Konstantin Usachev, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (Kazan Scientific Center, Kazan), will give a lecture on the crystallography of macromolecular structures. Lectures will also cover the application of cryo-electron microscopy in studying macromolecular structures and X-ray diffraction analysis in solving problems in structural biology.

Practical work will be carried out in eight master classes in four parallel groups: "Conducting Molecular Docking (Protein–Ligand) and Molecular Modeling Based on X-ray Structural Analysis Data," "Conducting Protein–Protein Docking and Molecular Modeling for Subsequent Experimental Verification Using Small-Angle X-ray Scattering," "Solving and Refinement of the Crystal Structure of Lysozyme Using X-ray Structural Analysis," "Processing Primary Data Obtained by Computed Tomography," and "X-ray Fluorescence Analysis: Theory and Practical Application for Studying Biological Samples." Master classes will also be held on processing data obtained by NSU postgraduate students at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Center using X-ray diffraction analysis and small-angle X-ray scattering.

Last year, new terminal rooms in the educational laboratory building were used for practical training related to data processing. This year, these resources will be complemented by a computer lab at the Gazpromneft-NSU Scientific and Educational Center and classrooms in the new classroom building. The experience of the previous school demonstrated the effectiveness and ease of use of computer labs for participants.

The school will conclude with a lecture by Sergei Arkhipov, PhD in Chemistry, in which he will review currently available experimental capabilities for biopolymer crystallization and biological sample studies using X-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray tomography. He also plans to introduce school participants to the SKIF Center for Collective Use's planned capabilities for structural biology and biomedical applications.

The School for Young Scientists "Application of Synchrotron Radiation for Solving Biological Problems" is supported by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

On September 30, the 12th Open Student BioTournament, Russia's first biology-focused team competition, concluded in the science city of Pushchino in the Moscow Region. This year, 15 teams from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Kazan, and other cities competed for the title of the country's best biology team. Novosibirsk State University was represented by two teams: "meowRNA" and "GeneShtab," which took first and third place, respectively. This was the first time NSU had won such a prestigious biology competition.

The BioTournament is a unique format where participants propose original solutions to real-world scientific problems. The competition revolves around "scientific battles," which include a presentation, a discussion, a debate, and a review. Four days of intensive work were filled with heated discussions and intellectual battles.

Both NSU teams confidently advanced through the qualifying rounds, finishing in the top three in the semifinals and earning the right to compete in the final. In the final, they faced not only each other but also strong opponents from other cities.

Based on the results of the final stage, the GeneShtab team, consisting of 4th-year students, Faculty of Natural Sciences Yaroslava Gaburova (captain), Valeria Romanova, Anastasia Monogova, Nikita Linkov, and Dmitry Kurbatsky took the honorable third place.

The winner of the tournament was the "meowRNK" team, which included third- and fourth-year students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences: Nikita Ivanov (captain), Ekaterina Akhramenko, Ulyana Borovikova, Anastasia Panina, and Nail Bikeev.

"The main challenge was, without a doubt, the intense pace of the tournament. We had to solve a large number of complex problems within a tight deadline and immediately prepare compelling presentations. Essentially, we had to be both in-depth researchers and public speakers, quickly analyzing a huge amount of information. I'm confident that our team cohesion was our greatest asset and the key to success," commented Nikita Ivanov, captain of the "meowRNK" team.

For participants, the BioTournament was a wonderful opportunity to hone both their hard and soft skills: honing their public speaking skills, learning to defend their point of view in scientific debates, broadening their horizons, and making a wealth of useful connections for future collaborative projects. Competitions like these, where theory meets practice in heated debates, allow students to truly express themselves and ignite the spark that motivates them to achieve further scientific achievements.

"The competition was challenging, and the competition was very strong. This year's play was even a little more exciting than last year. We're glad we were able to represent ourselves well and take a place on the podium. We've all worked together to reach this day, and each of us gave a piece of ourselves to the BioTournament 2025 in the best sense of the word."

This tournament was a treasure trove of invaluable experience for me and my teammates. And, of course, we now know both our strengths in the difficult task of defending the fruits of our intellectual labor, as well as what we need to work on next. GeneShtab leaves with renewed ambition and confidence that we can achieve even more next year," noted Yaroslav Gaburov, captain of the GeneShtab team.

The teams were sponsored by Vector-Best and Pharma. The teams express their gratitude to their sponsors for the opportunity to participate in such an exciting and significant tournament and gain invaluable experience in scientific competitions.

"And, of course, a special thank you to NSU and the entire faculty. Their deep fundamental knowledge, critical thinking, and ability to solve unconventional problems formed the solid foundation that allowed us to confidently win such serious intellectual competitions," emphasized Nikita Ivanov.

Previously, participants from both teams represented NSU at the SynBio Challenges 2025 international synthetic biology competition in China, where they also demonstrated strong results and received gold medals.

"Mediacode" is a nationwide competition for students, members of student media centers, graduate students, and young scientists from Russian universities and research institutes. The competition, now in its third year, aims to popularize science among young people and draw attention to the work and achievements of young scientists. This year, 273 applications were submitted, and 10 participants advanced to the finals, including Ilya Bolshakov, a first-year master's student majoring in Journalism. Humanities Institute of NSU.

The competition finalists spent four days creating content for social media at the 10th All-Russian Youth Scientific Forum "Science of the Future – Science of the Young." The forum took place from September 23 to 26 at N.G. Chernyshevsky Saratov State University. The jury assessed the originality of the media project, the creative presentation of information, and the clarity and accessibility of its content for a general audience.

"I've known about the competition for two years now. Last year I also participated and made it to the finals, but I couldn't go because I was attending a different forum. The Mediacode competition has always been attractive due to its demand—only popular science content is accepted. I've been filming a series of interviews with scientists for several years now. In the finals, we had to work in the forum's press service as part of our category. Mine was a video project, so I interviewed scientists for video commentary, filmed a report on the visit of Deputy Minister of Education and Science Denis Sekirinsky, and also conducted a press conference with him. I quickly edited the videos and submitted them for publication on the following websites: the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, NOS: Science, Education, Students, NOS. Science, and in the forum communities "Science of the Future – Science of the Young,"" said Ilya Bolshakov. Over 600 people attended the forum, including Russian scientists and researchers who won the Russian Ministry of Education and Science's mega-grant program. The winners of the All-Russian Student and Postgraduate Research Paper Competition were announced at the forum, as well as the results of the Mediacode competition, where Ilya won in the "Science in Focus" category. "I'm very excited to participate in the competition and connect with world-class scientists. I'm very interested in educational journalism and plan to further develop my career in this field, and the master classes at the competition finals helped me gain new knowledge that I will use in my future work," Ilya shared.

Novosibirsk State University is launching a professional development program, "Humanities Models for the Modern School." Participants will include educators and administrators who will shape the development of school education in the coming years.

The university is offering this course for the first time, partnering with Academician M.A. Lavrentyev Lyceum No. 130, one of the region's strongest schools, and the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The program is designed for young administrators and educators who are ready to apply for positions as principals and deputy directors for research and methodological work. It combines theoretical and practical formats: students will study the humanities concepts of 20th-century Russian pedagogy and apply them in a project workshop to develop their own school models.

"Typically, professional development programs focus on school management, administration, and various methods and technologies. In this case, we will discuss cutting-edge Russian humanities concepts that educational institution leaders could use as a basis for developing their own school development plans," emphasized Sergei Smirnov, PhD, one of the program's authors, chief researcher at the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, leading researcher at the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center.

The course covers a wide range of ideas: from the legacy of Ushinsky and Makarenko to Vygotsky's cultural-historical approach and Bibler's school of dialogue of cultures. Modules include Bakhtin's philosophy of dialogue, Elkonin-Davydov's theory of developmental learning, the pedagogical practices of the communard movement, and contemporary debates about the future of public schools.

According to another co-author of the program, Sergei Sopochkin, director of Lyceum No. 130, the program is not limited to the classics. "In pedagogy, one idea feeds another. Of course, theoretical developments primarily emerged in the 20th century, but they are still relevant today. Many approaches are already being used in schools, albeit not as coherent models. The goal of the program is to demonstrate how these ideas can form the basis of original projects," he noted.

Particular attention will be given to practical assignments: participants will present their own projects for humanities school models that could be implemented at educational institutions. The final project will include a defense of their proposals, and the best solutions will be able to be further developed.

"Both the lyceum and the university have accumulated significant results in the educational field, and there is a desire to share this experience. The program's main author, Sergei Alevtinovich Smirnov, is a renowned scholar. This accumulated experience and its theoretical understanding are reflected in the program, which, in our opinion, has turned out to be quite high-quality and meaningful. Modern schools need professional discussions about the future, and our program provides a platform for such a dialogue," Sergei Sopochkin emphasized.

Both representatives of the Novosibirsk Association of Young Teachers and current school principals in Novosibirsk have already expressed interest in the program.

The organizers are confident that the project will help develop a new generation of school leaders prepared to implement the best educational models in schools, as well as their own developments based on them. In a context where state standards make schools relatively unified, it is precisely original approaches and initiatives that can drive their renewal.

"Schools today need fresh ideas. We're not pitting the humanities tradition against digital technology, but rather demonstrating that without an understanding of the individual, no innovation will work," emphasized Sergei Sopochkin.

The program will begin this fall. It will be a full-time, 64-hour program. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate of advanced training. Classes will begin as soon as the group is full.

On September 26, the new NSU classroom building, part of the second phase of NSU's campus construction, hosted the first "Career Graduation." Graduates of the Class of 2025 had the opportunity to meet with representatives of partner companies and participate in career consultations, where they presented their resumes and received feedback from employers. In turn, the companies shared information about opportunities in the labor market and expanded their candidate database. The event was organized by the NSU Career Development Center.

Representatives from SHIFT, the Siberian Center of FIPS, True Engineering, T-Bank, 2GIS, and other major companies took part in the event.

Daria Kanivets of the IT company True Engineering noted that NSU graduates are of particular interest to employers:

We're especially interested in students with technical backgrounds: they already have a solid theoretical foundation and even practical experience. Of course, soft skills are also important—a desire to learn, communication skills, and the ability to build relationships in a team. Even a highly skilled technical specialist will struggle without these qualities. You can also apply for a position with us without experience: part-time opportunities are available for students. We also offer internships that are immediately linked to real-world projects—under the guidance of a mentor, students gain their first professional experience and gradually become independent professionals.

The company's interviews consist of several stages: an initial HR assessment, a technical assessment (including practical assignments), and a final meeting at the office. Applicants were provided with guidance on resume writing and skill development—both technical and communication and creative.

Students also note the value of communicating with employers. Anna Murashkina, a graduate of the Fundamental and Applied Linguistics program at the NSU Humanities Institute, shared her impressions:

I'm currently interning in Data Science and want to grow in this field. I'd like to learn how to stand out from the crowd and write a great resume.

At the end of the event, Svetlana Dovgal, Director of the NSU Career Development Center, noted:

About a hundred of our students received assistance with resume writing and interviews. NSU graduates are always highly motivated in their job searches and are in high demand among employers. Our partner companies also really liked the new format, the new building, and our students.

The "Career Graduation" not only provided students with an opportunity to better prepare for future employment, but also confirmed the high level of interest employers show in NSU graduates.

NSU hosted an open lecture by Oleg Grin, PhD in Law, Director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Legal Support of Bioeconomics and Genetic Technologies at the Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSLU), and Head of the Department of Medical Law. The lecture focused on issues of biolaw.

The Kutafin Moscow State Law Institute is a leading educational institution in Russia. Recently, the university has been developing new areas of law (beyond the civil-criminal paradigm), implementing models of advanced jurisprudence, and working in areas where legal norms have not yet been established (for example, cyberlaw, nanolaw, and environmental law).

This is not the first time Oleg Grin has participated in NSU events. He previously served as an expert at the roundtable discussion "The Role of NSU as a World-Class Campus in the Implementation of National Projects in Biotechnology, Medicine, and Pharmaceutics," which was held as part of the Technoprom-2025 international technological development forum.

"New areas of legal support are crucial for the Institute, as the rapid translation of our scientists' and developers' achievements into practical applications is crucial for the implementation of projects under the Priority 2030 and Creation of a Network of Modern Campuses programs," commented Professor Yulia Samoylova, Director of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) at NSU.

A lecture for students and young scientists on biolaw issues is an important step in furthering interactions between doctors, researchers, and lawyers and developing the medicine of the future.

"We've planned a series of events and educational projects as part of the professional development program," explained Irina Sergeeva, head of the Center for Postgraduate Medical Education at the NSU Institute of Medical and Technical Medicine.

Students Institute of Intelligent Robotics Alexey Spirkin and Polina Novikova of Novosibirsk State University attended Youth Day as part of the 10th All-Russian Occupational Safety and Health Week (VNOT-2025), held at the Sirius Educational Center. The event brought together young professionals from across the country and participated in a program filled with competitions, workshops, and games on workplace safety.

"By going to Sirius, we set ourselves the goal of providing maximum coverage for our university's student events and demonstrating that safety in any work activity is a pressing issue supported at the state level. We hope that by next year, thanks to our outreach efforts, there will be students among NSU who will be able to share their perspectives with the entire country," said Alexey Spirkin, a third-year student at the NSU Institute of Industrial Research.

The Youth Day program included interactive tracks at the booths of major employers and participating companies. Among the interesting projects highlighted by the students was the SberMedII booth, featuring a cutting-edge disease risk detector based on a patient's face using photoplethysmography—a technology capable of diagnosing a variety of health parameters using a camera. Participants also appreciated the helpful interactive session by Technoavia, dedicated to personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety regulations.

At the event, NSU students seized the opportunity to discuss practices for developing artificial intelligence training programs with Netology speakers and discover new ideas for development.

The day concluded with a vibrant closing ceremony featuring a concert by Angelica Agurbash and a prize drawing.

"We thank the NSU Career Development Center and the NSU Youth Policy Office for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience! It was a great honor for us to represent our home university," Alexey concluded.

The trip to Sirius was a valuable social experience for NSU students, allowing them not only to learn about the latest innovations in occupational safety but also to represent the university at a large-scale federal event.
