SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy and Ravenstvo JSC CEO Igor Zubakov signed a cooperation agreement between the university and the company. The ceremony took place during an official visit by Ravenstvo representatives to the university.

In their joint activities, the partners intend to be guided by the provisions of the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation, approved by Decree No. 145 of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 28, 2024, and their own promising development programs.

Ravenstvo is one of Russia's leading instrument-making companies specializing in naval electronic warfare, naval equipment, and civilian radar. The company was founded in 1952 as a specialized instrument-making plant of the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry and focused on the production of radar stations for submarines. Since 2018, it has been part of the Tactical Missiles Corporation.

The company's need for qualified engineers has increased due to the development of new products, including a line of marine navigation radar systems financed by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. Representatives of JSC Ravenstvo contacted Polytechnic University to clarify the university's competencies in mechanics, electronics, marketing, and technical design.

Several meetings were held with the institutes' deputy directors. The first business agreement was signed with the Institute of Mechanics and Technology. The design of the future system is being developed with the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Civil Engineering Institute.

The second season of the "Smolny School" career guidance project has launched in St. Petersburg. The initiative is being implemented by the Committee for Civil Service and Personnel Policy. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is traditionally one of the key partner universities.

Andrey Mikhailov, Chairman of the Committee on Civil Service and Personnel Policy, delivered a welcoming speech: "This project has become an important part of our extensive career guidance program aimed at young St. Petersburg residents—schoolchildren and students. We understand that not all of you may choose a career in state civil service. But what's important is that civil service exists to make the lives of city residents better, more convenient, and more modern every day."

The project aims to develop a conscious career path for schoolchildren and promote the civil service as a promising avenue for professional development. Key objectives include increasing youth interest in civil service, assisting high school students in choosing a career, developing pre-professional competencies, fostering a positive attitude toward government, and attracting motivated young professionals to St. Petersburg's talent pool.

In the 2025/26 academic year, 96 high school students from 12 city educational institutions were selected for the project through a competitive process. They demonstrated high academic achievement, active citizenship, and an interest in government activities. A total of 745 students from 82 St. Petersburg schools applied to participate.

One of the project's key ideas is to show schoolchildren that public service is open to specialists from a wide range of fields, not just future managers. The city needs graduates in engineering, economics, humanities, and IT, and the Polytechnic University consistently helps foster this understanding among its participants, serving as a key training center for city government personnel.

At the season's grand opening in Smolny, Nadezhda Grashchenko, Head of the SPbPU Directorate of Basic Educational Programs, welcomed the participants. She noted the importance of career guidance for fostering sustainable student motivation and developing the city's workforce.

For the Polytechnic University, participation in the Smolny School is more than a partnership. It's an investment in the future of St. Petersburg, in the training of young people who are already making informed choices and striving to work for the city's benefit. We are confident that familiarization with the structure of the civil service and modern educational opportunities will help young people develop self-confidence and see prospects for professional growth, emphasized Nadezhda Grashchenko.

Among the invited guests were Anton Zubarev and Alina Pavlova, graduates of the previous season of the project and current students at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU. They shared their experiences participating in the project and encouraged the students to strive for future achievements.

Alina Pavlova noted: "This project is a springboard to a successful future. The key is confidence. Confidence that your voice will be heard, your ideas matter, and that there are people around you who are ready to support you in any situation."

"The Smolny School was an invaluable experience. Today, I'm studying Public and Municipal Administration at SPbPU, and I know for sure: it all began right here, within these walls, with the people who believed in us," shared Anton Zubarev.

Besides them, following the results of the project, the following were also admitted to the Polytechnic: Alexey Ivaschenko (PhysMech), Daria Paramzina (GI), and Andrey Filatov (IKNK).

The first stage of the project traditionally takes place at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Participants will visit the SPbPU campus during career guidance tours. Additionally, the students will meet with faculty, learn about IPMEiT's educational programs, and visit the university's laboratories and interactive spaces.

The project curators from SPbPU are:

Maxim Ivanov, Deputy Director of the Institute of Economics, Methodology and Telecommunications for Promoting Projects and Youth Policy; Daria Shevchuk, Educational and Methodological Work Specialist and Promotion Manager at the Institute of Economics, Methodology and Telecommunications; and Tamara Selentyeva, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Public Administration.

For us, the Smolny School is more than just a career guidance project; it's an opportunity to shape a new generation of responsible and motivated young professionals. We see how students discover the world of public service, learn to make decisions, work in a team, and take a broader view of their future careers. Importantly, they understand that public service is about developing the city, contributing to society, and a real opportunity to change people's lives for the better. We're pleased to be part of this journey and support the participants every step of the way," shared Maxim Ivanov.

The project's pilot season, implemented in 2025, involved 82 high school students from St. Petersburg, representing nine schools and five partner universities. It was highly praised and significantly expanded the city's talent pool.

Among partner universities, only Polytechnic University provided participants who successfully completed the project with an additional 5 points towards their Unified State Exam score as an individual achievement upon admission.

The Smolny School is a space where every participant can discover their strengths, gain confidence, and learn to influence the future of St. Petersburg. Here, bold ideas emerge, ambitious goals are formed, and a willingness to improve not only their own lives but also the city's is born. The new season opens a path of opportunity for the students—a path that could become the beginning of their great achievements.

The event emphasized the university's key role as a driver of technological development and a center of excellence in intellectual asset management.

The meeting was a logical continuation of many years of fruitful cooperation, within which SPbPU successfully operates a first-level Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC)—a leader in the all-Russian ranking of such structures.

In his opening remarks, SPbPU First Vice-Rector and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vitaly Sergeev highlighted the university's systematic approach to integrating science and IP rights: "For a modern research university, intellectual property is not just a formality, but a fundamental asset that requires professional management at all stages—from fundamental research to commercialization. Our goal is to create an environment where every scientist and developer will see IP tools not as a barrier, but as a powerful catalyst for implementing their developments in the real economy."

Pavel Spitsyn, Director of the WIPO Office in the Russian Federation, noted the strategic importance of cooperation with leading universities. He stated that regional competence centers, such as the TISC at SPbPU, are critical nodes in the global innovation infrastructure. Their work directly impacts the integration of national scientific achievements into the international intellectual property system. Spitsyn emphasized the significant potential for developing joint educational and analytical programs aimed at training personnel capable of working with IP at an advanced level.

Natalia Leontieva, Head of the SPbPU Research Projects and Programs Support Department, spoke about the Center's practical work and promising areas: "The popularization of intellectual property knowledge has now gone far beyond seminars. We are talking about building a comprehensive support system where information resources, patent law expertise, and mentoring support are combined for specific research teams. Holding over 60 events annually is not just a statistic, but a reflection of the growing demand from the scientific community for in-depth, specialized knowledge in IP."

Ismail Kadiev, Director of the Center for Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer at SPbPU, emphasized the importance of metrics and efficiency: "Our TISC's leadership in the national rankings for five years is an indicator of the sustainability of the model we've built. However, the focus is currently shifting to the quality and depth of IP portfolio development. We are committed to developing predictive analytics tools that will enable us to assess the commercial and scientific potential of IP assets at early stages, a global trend in innovation management."

A WIPO delegation visited Technopolis Polytech, a unique venue where breakthrough scientific and educational technologies are transformed into ready-made engineering solutions for industry.

During the visit, the guests also learned about the work of the university's leading scientific and educational centers. At the Polytechnic Supercomputer Center, delegates were shown how modern computing power is used to solve complex research problems, including big data modeling and analysis for projects related to the creation and management of intellectual property.

WIPO representatives also visited the SPbPU Open Education Center, where they discussed current trends in online learning and the potential for developing massive open online courses on intellectual property, which opens new horizons for educational work.

A visit to the technology park and key university centers clearly demonstrated how intellectual property rights generated in university laboratories become the foundation for the creation of new high-tech companies and teams.

The World Intellectual Property Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible international intellectual property system. The WIPO office in Russia was opened in Moscow in 2014.

SPbPU is one of Russia's leading technical universities, and has hosted a first-level Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC) since 2015. The center provides inventors and developers with free access to patent and non-patent resources and conducts extensive educational outreach.
