Representatives of the Civil Engineering Institute took part in the ArchIng workshop, which traditionally takes place within the framework of the Summer School project. This year, the event brought together more than 50 schoolchildren, students and young professionals from different cities and universities.

The Civil Engineering Institute was represented by Alexandra Zatsepina, senior lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction, who acted as the scientific director of the architectural and school tracks, as well as ISI graduates Ekaterina Zorina (director of the workshop) and Valeria Kozodaeva (curator of the architectural direction).

The workshop’s partners were the companies Metropolis and Petersburg through the Eyes of an Engineer, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) and the Institute of Applied Urbanism.

The school track participants explored public spaces in Dubna: the Bolshoi Volzhsky Lighthouse, the Family Recreation Park, and the pier near the pedestal of the demolished monument to I. V. Stalin. The children visited the design site, took photographs, interviewed residents, and then created improvement projects and developed new architectural forms that embodied the memory and spirit of the place. For example, near the Bolshoi Volzhsky Lighthouse, the team proposed installing sculptures in memory of the political prisoners who built the lighthouse itself and the Moscow Canal.

On the architectural track, students and young professionals created art objects reflecting the unique identity of Krasnodar, Khabarovsk, Ulan-Ude, Vladivostok, Arkhangelsk and Chelyabinsk, which are currently experiencing population outflow. First, the participants collected associations related to each of the cities in zine albums. Then they rethought the images and embodied them in concepts of art objects that could become symbols of urban life and cultural heritage. For example, for Arkhangelsk, the guys reworked the image of a wooden bird of happiness, which is in every home, and for Vladivostok, they depicted colonies of Idiomarina Martina bacteria for cleaning the Sea of Japan.

Students and engineers of the design track created models of bridges. After a lecture on the development of span structures, which was given by the teacher, writer and head of the design bureau Anton Smirnov, the participants developed calculation schemes in software packages and implemented them using 3D printing. The projects included "Retro Bridge", "Celtic Grasshopper", "Whalebone" and "Arched Bridge". After testing, the winner was "Whalebone", which withstood a load of 29.8 kg with its own weight of only 1.2 kg.

Alexandra Zatsepina noted that the main success of the workshop is the formation of a community that opens up opportunities for joint projects and communication. This also contributed to strengthening cooperation between the university, companies and scientific organizations. In addition, the workshop showed how architects and engineers work and think, thanks to which many were able to decide on their choice of profession.

The Higher School of Industrial Management of IPMEiT became an active participant in an important industry event — the conference and exhibition "Technological Sovereignty and Import Substitution: New Energy Technologies". Three Polytechnic students passed the competitive selection and took part in the youth session "Behind the Scenes of the Energy Future: New Competencies for New Technologies".

Leading experts, government and business representatives gathered in St. Petersburg to address strategically important issues of ensuring Russia's technological sovereignty in the fuel and energy complex. The youth session became one of the key discussion platforms. It was devoted to current issues of training personnel for the energy sector of the future in the context of import substitution, digitalization and energy transition.

The session also raised issues that determine the development trajectory of the industry and education – what skills and level of specialization will be in demand, how AI will change the energy industry and professions in it, where it is most effective to train personnel for an energy breakthrough: in universities, in production or in startups.

Three students of the Higher School of Management and Management, Diana Yakimenko (4th year of the Business Administration program), Yana Mayevskaya (3rd year of the Oil and Gas Enterprise Management program), and Ilya Ushpik (1st year of the Master's program Oil and Gas Complex Management), accompanied by Associate Professor Anna Timofeeva, became active participants in the discussion.

Diana Yakimenko, addressing the Director of the Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Alexey Zhikharev, touched upon the strategic topic of training personnel for renewable energy sources.

Ilya Ushpik raised a problem that is relevant for all fuel and energy companies: how to train managers who are capable of understanding complex technological and business processes.

Yana Mayevskaya, asking a question to the session moderator, director of work with key partners of the ANO Institute of Oil and Gas Technological Initiatives, professor of the Higher School of Management and Management Alexey Fadeev, focused on specific competencies and mechanisms for involving young people.

Session moderator Alexey Fadeyev noted the high level of student involvement: It is precisely such deep, problem-oriented questions from young people, like those voiced today by our Polytechnic students, that demonstrate a real understanding of the industry's challenges. These are not abstract discussions, but a request for specific solutions for technological sovereignty. Seeing such preparation and interest is the best guarantee that Russia's energy sector will receive a worthy replacement of managers and engineers.

Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management Olga Kalinina emphasized the importance of the topics raised at the session and their compliance with the profile of the school's industry programs: The youth session of the conference touched upon the key area of modern energy – the personnel of the future. Issues of cross-disciplinarity, management of technological changes, digital transformation, development of critical competencies in the context of import substitution – these are precisely the challenges that educational programs in management in the fuel and energy complex are aimed at solving, what we teach our students.

In the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg, repair work on Khlopina Street has been completed. The issue of the need to renew the road surface was raised atpersonal reception of citizens, which the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov held on November 29, 2024. Then the city leadership was addressed by the Associate Professor of the Higher School of Public Administration, Deputy Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, Maxim Ivanov. On the instructions of the Governor, a large-scale set of measures was implemented to improve street infrastructure.

During the repair the following works were carried out:

More than 7,000 square meters of road surface and sidewalks were renewed; new thermoplastic markings were applied; speed bumps were installed to improve safety; curbstones were lowered to provide an accessible environment for people with limited mobility, elderly people, and parents with strollers.

The repairs were completed within the established timeframe and in compliance with the required quality standards.

The Governor of St. Petersburg noted that over 108 thousand people live within the boundaries of the Akademicheskoe municipal district, where Khlopina Street runs. The importance of the work carried out is also due to the fact that by the end of 2025, a major overhaul of Gzhatskaya Street, which intersects with Khlopina, will be completed. The new circuit will ensure movement around the microdistrict without exiting onto key highways – Grazhdansky Prospekt and Prospekt Nepokorennykh.

When we talk about the comfort and safety of the urban environment, it is important not only to develop initiatives in theory, but also to achieve their practical implementation. It is nice to see that our proposal was heard and implemented. This is an example of how science and government can work in the interests of society. Together – to a comfortable and safe St. Petersburg! Together we make the city better. Only forward! – said Maxim Ivanov.

The implementation of the project has become a vivid example of effective interaction between the government, the scientific community and citizens. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade and the Higher School of Public Administration continue to contribute to the development of the urban environment, and the student association "Public Administration Laboratory" demonstrates the practical significance of applied research in the field of state and municipal administration.
