December gave Siberian students a bright event – the XII Regional Calligraphy Competition among students, organized Confucius Institute at NSUUnder the motto "Race to a new journey, the aroma of calligraphy throughout the world," more than 80 participants from Novosibirsk, Barnaul, Biysk, and Gorno-Altaisk competed in brushwork. Works were submitted by eight universities: Novosibirsk State University (24 participants), Altai State University (20 participants), the Baltic Branch of Altai State Pedagogical Univ. (14 participants), Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management (9 participants), and Gorno-Altaisk State Pedagogical Univ. (7 participants), as well as Novosibirsk State Technical University, Saratov State University of Railway Transport, and Novosibirsk State Pedagogical Univ. (1 to 4 participants). The competition took place on December 13 at Novosibirsk State University.

The coming year, 2026, is the Year of the Horse according to the Chinese zodiac. The horse symbolizes indomitability, forward momentum, immediate success, courage, and the power of "a thousand running horses." Participants wrote phrases related to this theme, expressing not only the external beauty of the characters but also their symbolic essence.

The beginner group was required to write the following phrase in calligraphy: “文行天下” (“Culture, knowledge, and education are your capital and a pass to the world”) and, in addition, “马到成功” (A wish for swift, almost instant success in all endeavors. “Like a valiant horse that reaches its destination immediately upon arrival, so may your efforts quickly lead to excellent results.”).

For the intermediate group (participants who have been studying Chinese for more than 2 years), the phrase was “让中文零距离 纵骏马驰万里” (“Close the distance with the Chinese language – rush towards the goal like a valiant steed!”).

The competition winners received prizes from Xinjiang University, NSU's partner in the Confucius Institute project, including calligraphy gift sets.

Andrey Efimov, winner of the senior group, spent six months in China on a scholarship. He had previously won a calligraphy competition and taught calligraphy classes at the student club at the RANEPA's Scientific and Management Institute. His path to victory was a combination of passion, patience, and perseverance: he was placed in a Chinese language class where the teacher assigned him to write thousands of characters with a gel pen. Andrey not only wrote accurately but also competed against himself, imitating ancient Chinese calligraphers, and later developed his own style.

"Then I learned that the Confucius Institute at our university was accepting students for a brush calligraphy course and quickly signed up. The course was taught by a Chinese teacher, Zhao Pan. Thanks to him, I learned the basics of brushwork: it turned out that writing with a brush is much more difficult than with a pen, but this only spurred me on—after completing the course, I continued practicing on my own. This was followed by my first victories in pen and brush calligraphy competitions. My advice to calligraphy beginners: don't be afraid to take the first step! There's a wonderful phrase in Chinese, usually attributed to Lao Tzu: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I believe this first step is the most important," said Andrey Efimov.

The regional calligraphy competition was not just a test of skill, but also a true celebration of the Chinese language and culture, uniting students from Siberia in their pursuit of excellence.

May the inspiration with which the participants took up their brushes accompany them further—to new knowledge, discoveries, and heights, and may calligraphy continue to connect hearts through the beauty and meaning of its symbols!

We wish all participants to gallop through the vastness of the Chinese language like a noble steed, achieving success!

In the first half of December, a delegation from Novosibirsk State University (NSU) visited Abkhazia at the invitation of the Center for Public Diplomacy. A meeting was held at Abkhaz State University (ASU) between Yevgeny Sagaydak, Head of the NSU Education Export Department, and ASU Rector and Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences Aleko Alekseevich Gvaramia.

During the visit, prospects for further cooperation in science and education were discussed, including the creation of joint laboratories, the organization of joint educational programs, the holding of Olympiads for schoolchildren and students in physics and mathematics, and the creation of international classes in schools in Abkhazia.

NSU and ASU are historically linked by the personality of the outstanding mathematician, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the first rector of Novosibirsk State University Ilya Nestorovich Vekua, who was born in the village of Shesheleta (currently located in the Ochamchira district of the Republic of Abkhazia).

The meeting featured reminiscing about the legendary scientist and renowned NSU faculty members of that era. The meeting was held in a warm and touching atmosphere. Evgeny Sagaydak presented NSU with an album of photographs by Ilya Nestorovich Vekua, capturing his life and work in Akademgorodok, as well as a book about Novosibirsk State University with an inscription from NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Petrovich Fedoruk.

Evgeniy Sagaydak, together with representatives of the Center for Public Diplomacy and the Gal City Hall, honored the memory of Ilya Nestorovich Vekua by laying flowers at his monument in the center of Gal.

Evgeny Sagaydak noted that the name of the outstanding scientist, I.N. Vekua, the first rector of NSU, is forever inscribed in the university's history, and the task of the administration, as well as the mayor's office of the city of Gal, where the monument stands, is to preserve the memory of this outstanding figure for students and staff. NSU is ready to participate in all events dedicated to the life and work of I.N. Vekua.

At the end of the event, the ASU delegation received an invitation to visit Novosibirsk State University and continue the dialogue on cooperation.

On December 10, a diploma presentation ceremony was held in the Great Hall of the Novosibirsk Region Government to award scholarships from the Governor and the Government of the Novosibirsk Region, as well as recipients of targeted financial support. Among the recipients were 22 students from Novosibirsk State University, two students from the Specialized Scientific Center of Novosibirsk State University, and two students from the Higher Scientific Institute of Novosibirsk State University, who demonstrated outstanding results in their studies, research, and project work.

This year, nearly two hundred talented students from regional universities received certificates. Congratulating the scholarship recipients, Novosibirsk Region Governor Andrey Travnikov emphasized that such awards are more than just a measure of support, but rather recognition of the tangible contributions of young people to the development of science, education, culture, and technology in the region.

"You entered adulthood with the right attitude: to persistently achieve results in whatever you undertake. I hope that today's award will be one of many in your success," the regional governor remarked, addressing the ceremony participants.

The Governor and Government of the Novosibirsk Region have been awarding scholarships to the best students for over 20 years, since 2004. During this time, hundreds of young people have received them, many of whom now work at the country's leading companies, implement scientific and technological projects, and contribute to the region's development. The scholarships are named after outstanding Novosibirsk residents—Academicians Mikhail Lavrentyev, Ilya Vekua, Sergei Sobolev, Valentin Koptyug, scientist and educator Yuri Sharov, Air Marshal Alexander Pokryshkin, and others.

Certificates were also presented to the students by Deputy Governor Valentina Dudnikova, Deputy Chairman of the Novosibirsk Region Government and Minister of Agriculture Andrei Shindelov, and members of the regional government. They emphasized that each award represents the extensive collaborative work of the students and their mentors.

NSU students shared their impressions of receiving the award.

Boris Kondrashov, third-year student Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS) of NSU, the winner of the competitive selection for targeted financial support in the "NTI Markets. Technological Challenge" category, noted that the competition was fierce:

Students from research teams across the Novosibirsk region participated in the selection process, so it was especially gratifying to be among the winners. This support was a significant recognition of my professional work and a serious motivation to move forward. I plan to use the funds received to develop the project and participate in the international conference.

NSU Faculty of Natural Sciences Master's student Anna Artemchenko emphasized the importance of recognition at the regional level:

"I felt genuine joy and pride. It's confirmation that my efforts in my studies and research have been noticed. Such support builds confidence and opens up new opportunities, including participation in conferences and additional professional training."

For first-year master's students Faculty of Information Technology of NSU Ruslana Kardasha's ceremony became an important and emotional event:

Receiving my diploma in the Great Hall of the Government, I felt immense joy and gratitude—to the university, the faculty, and the regional leadership. This is a significant achievement for my portfolio and a powerful incentive to continue my research. I plan to use the funds I receive for scientific literature and a trip to a conference.

The students note that the support of their supervisors, the university environment, and their own commitment to research played a key role in their success. The awards they received served not only as recognition of their work but also as a catalyst for new scientific and professional achievements.

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.

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.

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. I intend to continue to popularize Korean history, traditions, and culture in Russian among Russians, thereby strengthening the friendly relations between our countries," said Oh Donggun.
