The A. A. Voznesensky Scholarship is a personal scholarship established by the Government of the Russian Federation for undergraduate and graduate students with outstanding achievements in literary creativity, journalism, and other humanities. This year, 10 students from across Russia received the scholarship, including two female students majoring in Journalism. Humanities Institute of NSU — Ksenia Nazmutdinova, second-year undergraduate student and Evgenia Shcheglova, second-year master's student.

Ksenia first encountered journalism in seventh grade: first, she worked on wall newspapers, then mastered reporting and interviewing. Later, she and a small team created a school magazine. Working on this project inspired her to pursue a career in journalism. Ksenia admits that she is drawn to the versatility of the field: journalism covers a wide range of aspects of life, and you never know what you'll be writing about tomorrow.

"I was taught from childhood that you have to try everything, so I decided to try my hand at this scholarship competition. Yes, it was challenging because there were so many requirements, documents, and additional information. At one point, I even considered giving up, but my family convinced me to finish the job. I applied back in September, and by October, I'd already decided I hadn't won anything, so I stopped waiting. But completely by chance, a week ago, I learned I'd won, and it was doubly gratifying because I had no expectations. Moments like these actually show me that I'm capable of truly great things; the main thing is to keep trying and not downplay my abilities," Ksenia shared.

The scholarship is awarded on a competitive basis. To participate, you must submit a portfolio demonstrating your achievements. Students with good or excellent academic performance are eligible. Ksenia is a participant in the Argonauts student journalism competition, a grand prize winner at the Youth Media Summit, and a winner of the NSU Journalism Olympiad.

"I can give you one piece of advice: keep trying! I'm not special and I'm no different from you. You just have to try, learn from your mistakes, and try again. Try absolutely everything you can. It's always great to try something just for the hell of it, and maybe even succeed. And if the experience turns out to be a failure, it's no big deal. You just have to learn from your mistakes and try again, but 10 times better," Ksenia Nazmutdinova concluded.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The second edition of the Russian version has been published pilot ranking of BRICS universities, which is part of the "Three University Missions" family. The list of the top universities included 750 universities from 20 countries. Russia ranks second in terms of the number of universities represented in the ranking, with 169. NSU ranked sixth among Russian universities and maintained its position in the overall ranking at 19th place, the highest among Russian universities located in the regions.

This year, the ranking's scope was expanded in response to the expansion of the BRICS group. The shortlist includes universities representing the consortium's countries—Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, China, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and South Africa—as well as countries that received BRICS partner status by June 1, 2025. The winners of the 2025 ranking are Peking University (1st place), Lomonosov Moscow State University (2nd place), and St. Petersburg State University (3rd place).

"NSU maintains its top position in this ranking thanks to the high quality of education and research. The ranking was also positively impacted by the increase in the "Share of International Students"—NSU currently has approximately 1,700 international students from 60 countries. In recent years, we have been developing cooperation with China and West African countries—and the "Number of Student Wins in International Student Olympiads." According to the latter indicator in the "Three University Missions" ranking, NSU has ranked 23rd globally for two years in a row, including consistently ranking in the top 5 among Russian universities," commented NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.

The BRICS ranking methodology mirrors that of the global "Three University Missions" ranking. A university's performance is assessed across three dimensions: education (45% of the ranking), research (25%), and community engagement (30%). The difference is that the weights of some indicators have been adjusted, such as "Number of student victories in international student competitions" (from 7% to 9%) and "Share of international students in total student enrollment" (from 8% to 10%). At the same time, the weights of "University budget to student enrollment ratio" (from 15% to 13%), "Faculty to student enrollment ratio" (from 15% to 13%), and "Average normalized citation impact (global level)" (from 10% to 8%) have been reduced. Furthermore, an additional indicator, "Number of joint scientific publications with BRICS partners" (weighted 2%), has been added to assess the university's scientific mission.

Representatives from the Polytechnic University visited the rear areas of the Special Military Operations (SMO). They delivered another batch of humanitarian aid and presented certificates of advanced training to the special operation participants, the first to complete training at the Polytechnic University in five different programs. More than 100 students from the first cohort studied remotely, directly in the SMO zone.

At their unit locations, the Polytechnic guests were greeted by military personnel off duty and off combat missions. Ivan Kolomeitsev, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Social Sciences, congratulated them on their successful completion of their training and presented them with certificates and commemorative gifts from the university. The unit commanders and soldiers thanked the Polytechnic for the opportunity not only to prepare for civilian life but also to enhance their knowledge for combat missions.

"Such events help maintain the morale of personnel and instill their faith in the future. Your university once again confirms its position as a national leader and its high civic status," command representatives shared. "The online learning format allowed for the completion of programs during free time and contributed to the quality of their completion by enhancing the level of personnel training at the leading engineering university of the Russian Federation."

"The recruitment of the first cohort was preceded by a sociological survey among military personnel. Based on its results, the decision was made to launch programs that, on the one hand, meet the objectives of technological leadership and, on the other, are feasible under the established conditions. "131 people successfully completed the training, which we consider an excellent result under the circumstances. We also conducted training for Polytechnic University staff to build a talent pool for working with participants and veterans of the Second Military District," said Ivan Kurta, Head of the Directorate for Continuing Education and Industry Partnerships.

With the support of the Priority 2030 program, a survey of soldiers undergoing rehabilitation and treatment was also conducted, and career guidance tools were developed. It can already be said that the hypothesisthe need to train participants of the SVO and confirmation of this training with documents before completing service and returning to civilian life, has proven to be correct, and now it is necessary to expand the pool of training programs and methods.

The University has already generated a flow of new requests for the implementation of programs frompublic organizations, subjects of the Federation, educational organizations.

"We see a need for this type of training, but no one can say for sure which programs, learning tools, and pedagogical technologies will be successfully implemented, as there are many external factors involved, often requiring unconventional and innovative solutions. Therefore, in addition to carefully developing the programs, prompt communication with students during the pilot launch is crucial; this will allow us to clearly set goals for future cohorts," commented Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University actively participated in the 15th anniversary A.N. Chilingarov International Forum "The Arctic: Present and Future." The forum, which traditionally brings together over 2,000 experts from Russia and abroad, is a key platform for summarizing the Arctic agenda and identifying development strategies for the Russian Arctic zone. The event was held with the support of the Federation Council, the State Duma, the State Commission for Arctic Development, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, and other relevant agencies.

The Polytechnic University was represented by Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education, as well as faculty and students from the Institute of Civil Engineering. The comprehensive business program included plenary sessions across eight thematic tracks and over 40 sessions featuring over 400 speakers.

The Institute of Civil Engineering was represented by Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering, Dmitry Sharapov and Vladimir Konyushkov, Associate Professors of the Higher School of Hydrotechnical Engineering and Economics, Maria Drebezgova and Elena Ladik, Associate Professors of the Higher School of Hydrotechnical Engineering and Economics, Liliya Talipova, Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Hydrotechnical Engineering and Economics, and students from the programs "Hydraulic Engineering, Hydraulics, and Engineering Hydrology" and "Environmental Safety in Industry."

Dmitry Tikhonov presented the university's extensive experience in this field. In his presentation, he detailed practice-oriented projects for students in critically important Arctic areas such as logistics, robotics, IT, and drone development. Particular attention was paid to systematic work with schoolchildren and parents aimed at shaping a "vision of the future" and understanding promising professions in the region.

Dmitry Tikhonov also emphasized the importance of exporting educational technologies to Arctic regions, citing teacher training and master classes in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug as examples. The keynote of his presentation was a comprehensive model for attracting and retaining employees, which creates a sustainable talent pipeline for the Arctic. This model covers the entire process—from early career guidance for schoolchildren to practical training for students and their involvement in real-world projects.

"For the Polytechnic University, working on the Arctic agenda is a systematic effort with plans for years to come," Dmitry Vladimirovich emphasized. "Our educational programs and scientific developments are already in demand by industrial partners working in this strategic macro-region, and demand is constantly growing."

Elena Ladik and Maria Drebezgova spoke at the youth section "Meeting of Generations." It featured educational lectures, quests, quizzes, and other activities. The lecturers presented their professions to the students, shared their experiences working in harsh polar conditions, and discussed the development prospects of the Arctic and Antarctic. Polytechnic University specialists introduced the students to the traditional dwelling architecture of the indigenous peoples of the Russian Arctic and Far North, the application of historical experience in modern design for innovative solutions for the architectural environment in the Arctic zone, and demonstrated conceptual designs for residential and tourist modules for harsh climates. Over 800 students participated in the event.

"I believe it was very important to discuss with the students the historical experience of designing residential environments in the Arctic and the Far North, as well as to draw the attention of the younger generation to the development prospects of Russia's northern territories," said Elena Ladik.

Students of the Civil Engineering Institute took part in the youth

The participants attended the session and visited the exhibition located in the ExpoForum pavilion. The future specialists were delighted to see specialized equipment, interact with representatives of Russia's nomadic peoples, and listen to a firsthand lecture about life in the Far North. The future builders were particularly intrigued by the presentation on the features of traditional Nenets tents.

Arctic development is a priority for our country, and the SPbPU Institute of Civil Engineering contributes to this by training personnel in Arctic construction and conducting research projects on Arctic development. "I consider educational outreach to schoolchildren, through which we share the opportunities that lie ahead in the Arctic, a special mission," noted Marina Petrochenko.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Oh Dong-gun, a graduate of Novosibirsk State University, was awarded the Director's Prize from the School of Graduate Studies in Cultural Heritage at Kongju National University for winning the 4th All-Korean Minhwa Interpretation Competition. He submitted his performance in Russian. The competition was held in Boryeong, South Korea. The event was organized by the Boryeong mayor's office.

"Minhwa" literally translates into Russian as "folk painting." It is a genre of traditional Korean folk painting that was popular among ordinary people in the late Joseon Dynasty.

Kongju National University is a multidisciplinary institution of higher education in the city of Kongju, Chungcheongnam-do Province. Founded in 1948 as the Kongju Normal Institute, it is currently the only national university in Chungcheongnam-do Province.

Oh Dongon studied Russian at the Busan University of Foreign Studies under Irina Mironyuk, a senior lecturer at the Center for International Educational Programs at the Humanities Institute. In 2014–2015, he completed an internship at the Faculty of Humanities (since 2016, the NSU Humanities Institute) of Novosibirsk State University under the academic supervision of Sergei Alkin, Associate Professor of the Department of Archaeology and Ethnography at the Humanities Institute.

Oh Dong-gon gained professional experience in conducting museum tours and interpreting works of art while working as a senior specialist in the Museum Operations Department of the Anyang Foundation for Culture and Arts in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, and during his volunteer work as a tour guide at the National Museum of World Script in Incheon and the Cheonan City Art Museum of the Cheonan Foundation for Culture and Arts in Chungcheongnam-do.

Oh Dong-gun also participated in various cultural events as a member of the monitoring team at the National Central Science Museum in Daejeon and the Independence Museum of Korea in Cheonan. He served as a caretaker at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province. He also provided Russian-language communication to tourists at the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Cultural Festival, held by the Suwon Cultural Foundation in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province. Oh Dong-gun also served as a citizen reporter for the Cheonan Cultural City Center, among other positions.

While working as an international student support specialist at Sooncheonhyang University in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, Oh Dong-gun was responsible for the cultural program for international students and introduced them to Korean culture.

"I am confident that my experience attending Korean studies, Asian studies, and culture classes in Russian at Novosibirsk State University has greatly contributed to my current achievements.

Applied Biotechnology: A case tournament for schoolchildren was held at the Polytechnic University.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Higher School of Biotechnology and Food Production of the Institute of Biotechnology and Biotechnology (IBBS) held a case tournament "Applied Biotechnology" for school and college students.

During the lectures, which were held remotely, students learned about modern trends in biotechnology research. They were able to visit media labs, explore both traditional and cutting-edge equipment, and learn how to operate it. This was necessary because many schools lack such labs, and adhering to safety regulations is crucial when conducting research and working with chemicals.

Eleven teams participated in the laboratory workshop of the case tournament, including not only 10th- and 11th-grade students from specialized schools in our city, but also students from the SPbPU Natural Sciences Lyceum, and students from the Talent Academy and the Center for Environmental Education.

Participants completed tasks on one of two topics: “Activity of metabolites of probiotic microorganisms Lactobacillus and Streptococcus” and “Bioconversion of agricultural waste to obtain sorbents”.

The assignments and lectures were developed by HSE School of Business and Public Policy associate professors Elena Belokurova and Ilona Pankina, senior lecturer Anna Sevastyanova, and Master of Science in Plant Biotechnology Alexandra Klyubina.

Students are always involved in the preparation of career guidance events at the Higher School of Business and Public Administration, and this time they served as mentors for schoolchildren.

While working on the case study "Studying the Activity of Metabolites of Probiotic Microorganisms Lactobacillus and Streptococcus," the students learned about the morphology of probiotic microorganisms in a fixed, stained preparation. While studying probiotic activity, they mastered microscopy and biochemical analysis techniques. They examined bacterial morphology, assessed metabolite accumulation in milk, and determined enzymatic activity using an indirect method based on the accumulation of organic acids, as well as the presence of flavoring substances. As a result of their studies, the participants were able to determine which probiotic microorganisms are more active acidifiers and determine whether homofermentative and heterofermentative fermentation processes occur.

Working on the case study "Bioconversion of Agricultural Waste to Produce Sorbents," schoolchildren explored the potential of converting organic agricultural waste into biosorbents capable of effectively purifying water and soil contaminants. They mastered methods for analyzing the effectiveness of the resulting biosorbents and deepened their knowledge of biotechnology, ecology, and chemistry.

Anna Sevastyanova, senior lecturer and developer of the case study, commented: "The production of biosorbents from lignocellulosic raw materials is a relevant area of environmental biotechnology, as it offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for purifying aquatic environments from hazardous pollutants, while using renewable and affordable raw materials—agricultural waste." These technologies are consistent with the principles of a circular economy, transforming waste into a valuable product, helping to reduce environmental impacts, and responding to the global trend toward the implementation of "green" and zero-waste technologies.

After completing the practical part, all teams had one day to analyze their results and prepare a presentation to defend their assignments.

On the final day of the tournament, each team performed in front of all participants and a panel of experts, which included teachers and student mentors.

The winners commented on their participation: "The Applied Biotechnology Case Tournament left us with nothing but positive emotions. Working in a team with peers from other schools united by a common goal was one of the most memorable experiences. In the practical part of the project, we determined the differences between the proposed probiotic microorganisms in terms of their accumulation of metabolic products and identified which probiotics were the most active acid formers. It was the perfect balance of a complex intellectual challenge, a friendly atmosphere, and professional growth."

Ilona Pankina, Head of Career Guidance at the Higher School of Business and Applied Sciences, shared: This year marked the seventh "Applied Biotechnology" case tournament. Students from numerous St. Petersburg educational institutions participated, necessitating a competitive selection process. This allowed us to bring together the strongest, most prepared, and most motivated students, and collaboration with them is invariably particularly engaging, contributing to the development of new approaches and methods of education that take into account modern trends. It's particularly important that the winners and runners-up of the case tournament received a unique opportunity to earn an additional five points toward their Unified State Exam scores for admission to SPbPU. It's especially gratifying to realize that over the course of the event, we've already secured a number of educational institutions as our regular partners. And, of course, it's important to note that our efforts are not in vain: statistics show that many case tournament participants successfully enroll at the Polytechnic University.

Elena Belokurova, the developer of one of the case assignments, also shared her impressions: "Schoolchildren don't study Microbiology, so I was worried that the case participants would encounter certain difficulties. But I was pleased to see that many of the team members are active students and participate in numerous events held by supplementary education centers, so they resolutely tackled the practical portion and completed it successfully. Many participants studied not only domestic literature but also articles by international authors and presented very well at their defenses. My student mentors and I were very pleased with this, and we would like to see our case participants among the applicants and students of the Higher School of Business and Applied Mathematics.

Four out of ten V. A. Tumanov scholarships were awarded to graduate students from the Institute of Philosophy and Law at NSU.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education has published the results of the selection process for the V. A. Tumanov scholarship, one of the most prestigious for young researchers in the legal field. This year, only 10 spots were available across Russia, and four of them were awarded to graduate students from the Institute of Philosophy and Law of Novosibirsk State University: Yusub Ozmanyan, Timofey Gorbunov, Diana Chashtanova, and Vladislav Cherenkov.

The graduate students note that achieving their goals required careful preparation. All applications were processed through the NSU Career Development Center (CDC), which assisted students in preparing their application package and forwarded it to the selection committee.

"Completing the application is a very important step that requires concentration," notes Diana Chashtanova, emphasizing the CRC's contribution. According to her, the competition took into account academic performance, scientific publications, grants, conference wins, and other achievements.

The winners' research topics cover a wide range of legal issues, from the transformation of social partnerships in the context of digitalization to the analysis of unfair practices in the provision of legal services and compulsory licensing mechanisms in intellectual property.

"The topic of my PhD dissertation is 'Transformation of the Principles of Social Partnership in the Sphere of Labor in the Era of the Development of the Information Society.' The research aims to develop the conceptual foundations for the legal regulation of social partnership in the sphere of labor in the new socioeconomic conditions. This is primarily a fundamental study, the goal of which is to update the theoretical and legal framework in this area by establishing both universal and individual social and labor standards that reflect existing trends and enhance the level of labor rights and social protection for workers at all levels of social partnership," explains Diana Chashtanova.

"The topic of my PhD thesis is 'The Mechanism of Compulsory Licensing in Intellectual Property Law in the Russian Federation.' For example, among the functions of compulsory licensing, one can highlight the socioeconomic function, which is expressed in the fact that the use of a compulsory license can compensate for the shortage of relevant goods and services in the market, leading to increased availability of socially significant goods (increased quantity, reduced price). At the very least, this demonstrates the practical significance of my research," explains Yusub Ozmanyan.

"The topic of my postgraduate research was 'Abuse of Faith in Legal Services: Criminological Analysis and Countermeasures.' The practical significance of the research lies in identifying the causes of criminal behavior by lawyers when providing legal services, as well as in analyzing mechanisms for preventing such behavior. I was very happy when I learned I had been awarded the scholarship," shares Timofey Gorbunov.
