In September, a group of young engineers, participants in the Polytechnic University's "Engineering League" rocket science intensive, embarked on a truly cosmic journey. They visited the legendary Baikonur Cosmodrome, where they not only witnessed the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle but also experienced the history of space exploration.

The trip was organized by the Polytechnic University's Student Admissions Center and coincided with the 27th International Conference "Rocket Modeling in Aerospace Education for Young People." The event brought together 154 young researchers from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries to discuss the design, construction, and launch of rocket models.

The Polytechnic delegation was accompanied by Yegor Temirgaliev, a senior lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial Management. The group included 10 students from St. Petersburg schools passionate about space and rocket science. Their stay at Baikonur was extremely intensive. The students lived on the grounds of the Chelomey International Space School (ISS), and were personally guided on tours by the ISS director and cosmodrome staff—all industry experts.

Over the course of a week, the young polytechnic students saw almost everything. They visited Assembly and Test Building (ATB) No. 112, where the Soyuz rockets are assembled, stood at the Gagarin Launch Pad—the historic site where the first human spaceflight began, and saw the Buran orbiter's landing complex and the Energia rocket launch command post.

They also visited the memorial houses of Sergei Korolev and Yuri Gagarin, which preserve the unique atmosphere of the era of the first space victories, and strolled along Cosmonaut Alley, where every tree was planted by cosmonauts. The highlight of the trip was the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle carrying supplies for the ISS, which the participants observed from a short distance. This spectacle left no one indifferent.

Safira Tavliyarova, an 11th-grade student at Academic Gymnasium No. 56, shared her impressions: "The moment the fuel ignites, the entire sky is bathed in a bright light; it feels like the sun has returned for a moment. The flames flare up and rise. Everything around you bursts into flames, and you feel the warmth on your face, even though you're a kilometer away. You feel the vibrations of the rocket's takeoff through your entire body. This event reminded me that anything is possible in this world."

As Safira noted, the journey to Baikonur took almost two days, including a flight, a border crossing by car, and a train ride. However, all the difficulties were worth it, thanks to the unforgettable experience of immersing yourself in the world of cosmonautics.

"This trip left a warm, pleasant mark on my life. In my opinion, such impressions, emotions, and events are worth living for," she added.

This trip is a shining example of the Polytechnic University's strategy for engaging talented young people. The Engineering League project allows schoolchildren not only to gain theoretical knowledge in rocket science but also to see its practical application in the real economy, meet future employers, and immerse themselves in the professional environment.

"Seeing the scale of the space industry with your own eyes, feeling the power of engineering and the vibrations of a rocket taking off is an invaluable experience," notes Yegor Temirgaliyev. "Such experiences become a powerful motivation for young people to study the exact sciences in depth, enroll in technical universities, and eventually create their own breakthrough projects here at the Polytechnic University."

The Polytechnic University's Engineering League educational intensive program continues to open doors to the world of high technology and real science for talented schoolchildren, igniting new stars in the country's engineering firmament.

Today, the 2nd Russian-Kyrgyz Educational Forum opened in Bishkek. The forum focused on the contribution of Russian and Kyrgyz universities to the development of the economies and societies of both countries, as well as practical cooperation with industrial partners, primarily through Russian-Kyrgyz consortiums of technical, medical, and agricultural universities.

Today's meeting is an important step toward creating a common educational, scientific, and technical space. Modern challenges, economic transformation, and the development of new industries, medicine, agriculture, and geotechnology make our cooperation strategically essential, noted Baktiyar Orozov, Minister of Science, Higher Education, and Innovation of the Kyrgyz Republic, in his welcoming speech.

A delegation from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, led by Rector and RAS Academician Andrey Rudskoy, played a key role in the forum. The delegation included Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova, Vice Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice Rector for International Affairs Dmitry Arsenyev, and Acting Director of the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship Artur Kireev.

The first day of the forum, held at the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University, focused on developing specific mechanisms for integrating education and the economy.

Polytechnic University Rector Andrey Rudskoy participated in the central panel discussion "Economic Needs and Universities' Opportunities: How Universities and Industrial Partners Can Work Together," where he presented a concept for transforming engineering education that the university is implementing jointly with leading industrial corporations.

"We are purposefully moving away from the classic Bologna model toward a flexible architecture where interdisciplinarity, integration with industry, and a variety of qualifications become the core of training. Our projects with Gazprom, Rosatom, and Rostec demonstrate how the university is becoming a fully-fledged link in the education-research-implementation chain," noted Andrey Rudskoy.

Particular emphasis was placed on the successful strategic partnership with KRSU. A shared digital educational space has already been created, network programs have been launched, and applied projects are being developed with Kyrgyzstan's industrial partners, such as Alliance Altyn (mining) and Geoscan (unmanned systems).

Immediately after the discussion, the rector signed several agreements with partners.

Under an agreement with the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B.N. Yeltsin, an engineering track will be established under the supervision of the Polytechnic University at the International Institute of Continuing Education of KRSU. The main objective is to jointly develop modern continuing professional education programs for the market.

An agreement was also signed with KRSU and Irbis-Kurulush on joint projects in digital modeling in construction. A Student Design Bureau will be opened at KRSU.

Three agreements were signed with Salymbekov University to launch joint international double-degree bachelor's degree programs in the areas of "Digital Enterprise Economics," "International Logistics," and "International Business."

SPbPU Vice-Rector for Educational Affairs Lyudmila Pankova moderated the roundtable discussion "Training Personnel in Demand in the Modern Labor Market," which explored in detail the mechanisms for adapting educational programs to the rapidly changing economic needs of both countries.

Speakers at the session included heads of Russian and Kyrgyz universities and businesses. The discussion centered on the intersection of university objectives and industry interests. Universities generate knowledge and train personnel, a relatively time-consuming process. Industry, meanwhile, is addressing ongoing development and efficiency challenges and needs personnel "here and now."

How can these demands be reconciled? The answer, unanimously agreed upon by the discussion participants, is the introduction of new educational formats at universities and the active involvement of industry representatives in the educational process from the early stages of training.

Industrial partners can organize special career tracks that allow students to combine study with work, and young professionals to combine work with study.

Participants in the discussion expressed interest in continuing the dialogue at other venues and adopting each other's best practices.

Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education Dmitry Tikhonov participated in the roundtable discussion "Business as a Qualified Client: The Experience of Russia and Kyrgyzstan," presenting SPbPU's model for working with corporate clients.

Vice-Rector for International Affairs Dmitry Arsenyev spoke at the roundtable discussion "The Russian Language and Participation in Online Educational Programs as Tools for Successful Study and Career," emphasizing the role of Russian as a bridge for academic and professional mobility.

Acting Director of the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship, Artur Kireev, joined the jury and participated in the summing up of the results of the startup project competition of the Russian-Kyrgyz Development Fund and KRSU.

The 2nd Russian-Kyrgyz Educational Forum confirmed SPbPU's status as a strategic partner for leading Kyrgyz universities. The signed agreements are purely practical in nature and aim to create specific infrastructure—a Student Project Bureau, an engineering track for continuing education, and joint dual degree programs. The active participation of a broad group of SPbPU vice-rectors in the expert sessions demonstrated the university's comprehensive approach to developing international cooperation and its commitment to deep integration of education, science, and industry.

Following the PAS, proposals were developed to update the RTSU mission and targets, and resources and performance indicators were identified. SPbPU experts contributed to the development of the program's fundamental principles and presented recommendations for the development of educational and research programs, human resources policy, and social interaction.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the staff for their commitment and openness. The main message of the past session was that much depends on us, and we can do a lot ourselves. The program's events, above all, should reflect the transition of operational norms to a new state. A new type of student thinking has emerged, and working with it is the main challenge for RTSU in the next development horizon, emphasized Maria Vrublevskaya, Vice-Rector for Human Resources Development at SPbPU.

Given the significance of the event and the role of RTSU as the core of scientific and educational ties between Russia and Tajikistan, Semyon Grigoriev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Tajikistan, attended the opening of the PAS. He addressed the PAS participants with a welcoming address: A year ago, I enthusiastically supported the idea of Polytechnic University overseeing RTSU, knowing the scale and capabilities of the university, as well as the personal authority of its rector, Andrey Ivanovich Rudskoy. Today, I see this initiative coming to fruition: SPbPU experts are helping shape RTSU's development program and making a significant contribution to its future. For me, this is not only an important process, but also a personal joy to see Polytechnic University becoming a reliable friend and trustee of the Russian-Tajik Slavic University.

The project-analytical session marked an important stage in the strategic cooperation between SPbPU and RTSU and confirmed the importance of integrating Slavic universities for the development of a modern educational space in Eurasia.
