The State University of Management held a grand opening of a traveling photo exhibition dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Moscow City Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps (MGO VSKS).

Maxim Dzhetygenov, head of the Moscow City Branch of the VSKS, Moscow City Duma deputy, director of the Educational and Training Center for Emergency Response and Basic Military Training at the State University of Management, and Kristina Kurieva, head of the press service of the Moscow City Branch of the VSKS, addressed the audience with welcoming remarks.

"The exhibition 'MGOVSKS 25 Years Together' is more than just photographs. It's a living history of our movement: from the first training sessions to large-scale humanitarian missions, from the first volunteers to the hundreds of trained rescuers today. Events like these strengthen the bond between generations of student rescuers and inspire new ones to join our team. After all, 25 years is only the beginning of a long journey," noted the department head.

The exhibition is located in the covered walkway near the Centralized Control and Monitoring Center and will remain open at the State University of Management until March 11. We invite students, faculty, and anyone interested in volunteerism and safety to visit the exhibition and learn more about the movement's history.

"We've been cooperating since 1986": GUU on the Beijing-Moscow teleconference

The National University of Management participated in the Beijing-Moscow teleconference on the topic "New Drivers and New Opportunities: Chinese and Russian Experts' Views on the Chinese Economy."

The event was timed to coincide with the meetings of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People's Congress (NPC), which took place on March 4 and 5, respectively.

Fanis Sharipov, Director of the Center for Socioeconomic and Political Research at the State University of Management, spoke among the invited experts. In the audience were students from the State University of Management, who will be studying in China for two years in September as part of the dual-degree program "International Manufacturing Business."

The participants discussed the results of the past five-year period and forecasts for the implementation of China's 15th Five-Year Plan for Socioeconomic Development (2026-2030). They also examined in detail the logic of China's economic policy and development to facilitate the formation of an objective understanding of the Chinese economy by the international community.

In his speech, GUU representative Fanis Sharipov emphasized our university's long-standing cooperation with China in the fields of education and science.

"The first cooperation agreement between the National University of Management and the Harbin Institute of Technology, a prestigious institution not only in China but also globally, was signed back in 1986. Since 2014, our university has been implementing a dual-degree program for undergraduate and graduate students in International Manufacturing Business with the rapidly developing Ningbo University. In 2023, the Center for Socioeconomic and Political Research at the National University of Management was established to develop scientific and technical cooperation with universities and research organizations in China," noted Fanis Falikhovich.

In addition, the director of the Center for Socioeconomic and Political Research at the State University of Management praised the achievements of Chinese companies in the field of AI.

"The State Council of the People's Republic of China formulated a detailed plan for the modern development of next-generation AI back in July 2017. It explicitly stated its intention to make AI the primary driving force of industrial modernization and economic transformation, strengthening national defense, internal and external security, education, and medicine by 2025. And here we recall how, on January 27, 2025, a Chinese startup triggered a collapse in the stock prices of American IT companies. By early February of last year, the NASDAQ high-tech index had lost 3.5%, representing a loss of almost a trillion US dollars. For experts, the successes of Chinese research in artificial intelligence (AI) are the result of China's systematic, long-term efforts in this field, which we have repeatedly noted in our research papers and conference abstracts," concluded Fanis Sharipov.

On February 27, universities participating in the second wave of the federal project "Advanced Engineering Schools" presented reports on their work through 2025, including representatives of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School, which is being implemented at the M.D. Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technological University in collaboration with the State University of Management.

The project implementation results were assessed by a Council chaired by Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov. Reports from 20 schools opened in December 2023 were presented at the meeting.

The RosGeoTech Engineering School team presented results on engineering training, research, new technology development, and objectives for 2026.

The team included: Andrey Luzhetsky, Head of the RosGeoTech School of Industrial and Applied Sciences; Magomed Mintsaev, Rector of the State Petroleum Technical University; Maria Karelina, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management; Khusain Betiev, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Chechen Republic; and Boris Nikishin, Chief Specialist of the HR Department of Rosneft Oil Company.

The speakers noted that the mission of the RosGeoTech school is to ensure Russia's leadership in innovative solutions for the sustainable development of oil-producing regions, including the efficient exploitation of fields at the final stage of their life cycle.

The team presented significant results from research projects implemented in the interests of sustainable development in Russia's oil and gas producing regions:

A mobile pilot plant for reagent-free removal of solid deposits from industrial pipelines; "Geothermics-5" – a pilot plant for generating electricity using a low-potential carrier – oil well water; production of rare elements for industry – promising flooded oil wells have been identified, results have been obtained for extracting iodine from produced water using environmentally friendly oxidizers; conversion of oil-contaminated areas of the North Caucasus Federal District to agricultural use through bioremediation technology.

The school is particularly proud of the opening of three special educational spaces, which have no analogues in the country:

An educational and scientific oil and gas testing ground based on real oil wells; the TOP-Engineer interactive complex center with digital twins and simulators; and the ABRIS robotics and video analytics laboratory.

The total amount of extra-budgetary funding raised over the two years of the PIS's operation amounted to over 500 million rubles. In 2025, R&D contracts worth over 127 million rubles were signed and implemented, double the previous year's figures.

The RosGeoTech PISh team successfully completed the final assessment, maintaining its position in the second group of Advanced Engineering Schools and receiving an annual development grant.

146 years of management history

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On March 3, 1880, the Aleksandrovsk Commercial School was founded, which became the historical foundation of the State University of Management.

The school was established on the initiative of Nikolai Naidenov, Chairman of the Moscow Exchange Committee, founder, and board member of the Moscow Merchant Bank, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Alexander II. The proposal received financial support from Moscow's wealthiest industrialists and financiers, major trading houses, a number of manufactories, and the Moscow Merchant Bank.

The new educational institution, operating on a commercial basis, trained "children of members of the merchant class for commercial activities." The curriculum, approved by the Ministry of Finance in agreement with the Ministry of Public Education of the Russian Empire, was adopted on July 11, 1885, and the first academic year began that same year.

Prominent scholars of the time taught both general and specialized subjects at the Alexander Commercial School, including the history of trade, commodity science, accounting, political economy, law, and others. Emphasis was placed on the practical side of education and the development of systems thinking.

In subsequent years, new educational structures focusing on management were formed on the school's foundation. Through a series of institutional transformations, it was this educational line that led to the creation of the modern State University of Management, ensuring the continuity of the management school. Over these decades, the educational institution has undergone a significant transformation, while preserving its most important characteristic—its management DNA.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, has repeatedly emphasized that a modern university should not be constrained by political prejudices. Therefore, the university is reclaiming elements of its historical memory—the Order of the Red Banner of Labor has once again graced the façade, and a bust of Sergo Ordzhonikidze has been installed in the hall.

Congratulations to the students, faculty, and staff on the university's 146th anniversary! May this milestone serve as another milestone for further development and new achievements.

Students from the State University of Management attended a career guidance tour of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone, a place where the high-tech solutions of tomorrow are being created.

Together with Tatyana Pershina, Associate Professor of the Department of Statistics, and Alla Zhukova, Director of the GUU Career Center, the students learned about innovative developments, learned which companies are already shaping the high-tech market in Russia, and at the Shared Use Center, they saw modern production machines in operation and experienced real-world technological processes.

In addition, during the tour, participants were able to ask questions about internships, career opportunities, and employer requirements.

"These trips not only help broaden your horizons but also take the first step toward your professional future: seeing a potential job, establishing contacts, and imagining yourself as a specialist at a high-tech company," noted Alla Zhukova.

As a reminder, earlier in February, students, together with the GUU Career Center, visited the flagship "My Career" center.
