St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the State Hermitage Museum present a new joint project – a series of video films “Formula of Art”.

The leading engineering university and the largest museum in Russia are long-standing partners. The cooperation began back in 2016, and at the end of 2023 it received a new impetus for development. All these years, the university and the museum have been developing and improving the engineering and security systems of the Hermitage, conducting scientific research, interacting in expert and information-analytical activities, joint public and youth projects, in the field of employment and job placement.

The new creative initiative was born as a result of mutual interest and cooperation between the press services of both institutions and has evolved into a large-scale joint project.

"The idea is to connect masterpieces of the past with the achievements of modern science," said Marianna Dyakova, Head of the SPbPU Public Relations Department. "The project is based on searching for parallels between the museum exhibits and the scientific developments of Polytechnic University scientists. For example, research in the field of lithium-ion batteries is reflected in antique mechanical watches from the museum collection. More than a dozen such interesting intersections have already been found, and work on new ideas continues."

In the first episode of Formula of Art, viewers are invited to take a journey from the Middle Ages to the present day. The subject of the research was the protective clothing of warriors five hundred years ago and now. The role of an expert on knightly armor was played by Yuri Efimov, a senior researcher at the Arsenal Department of the State Hermitage. Straight from the Knights' Hall of the Hermitage, we are transported to the Scientific and Educational Center of the Polytechnic University "Mechanical Engineering Technologies and Materials", where its director Pavel Novikov talks about modern protective equipment.

The science that the Hermitage is engaged in comprehends and organizes the past. Scientists at the Polytechnic University create technologies of the future. Our project, born out of mutual curiosity, shows that both can be equally fascinating, says Olga Eberts, Head of the Information Projects Department of the State Hermitage.

The authors plan to release new films every month. Not only the Polytechnic University staff and students, but absolutely all viewers will be able to see them on the university's information resources, immerse themselves in the atmosphere of historical halls where works of art created by great creators are kept, and feel the amazing connection of eras, the unity of age-old wisdom, talent and service to progress. The project will also be presented on the official communication channels of the State Hermitage. Placing content on the media platforms of one of the world's leading museums will allow for maximum audience reach and attract the attention of both Russian and international users.

The target audience of the project is the broadest circles of the public. It will be interesting for both children and teenagers, as well as adults who want to see familiar museum exhibits in a new light. "Formula of Art" allows you to take a new look at the connection between the past, the present and the future, – Marianna Dyakova is sure.

Students and graduates from 33 leading technical universities presented their ideas for Russia's digital economy at IT CAMP 2025, an educational program that annually helps young people find employment in the country's largest companies. Ksenia Eremina, a student at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, took first place as part of the IT_fountain team following the public defense of her projects.

The summer youth program IT CAMP is held with the support of the Scientific and Technological University "Sirius" for the fifth year in a row. Together with Gazprom Neft, its partners are 28 Russian technology companies, including: "Astra Group", P7, YADRO, Orion soft, "Trukonf", "Rostelecom", "Uralchem", SberTech and others.

"We created IT CAMP as a platform where talents and technologies intersect," said Leonid Potapov, head of the IT CAMP program. "Every year, out of several thousand students who pass the selection, a hundred future leaders of the digital industry meet here with those who determine its development today. Two weeks of complete immersion is an ideal environment for the birth of new ideas and the beginning of a brilliant career. We give young specialists the opportunity not just to find a job, but to find their place at the forefront of the Russian IT industry."

Participants of IT CAMP 2025 united into project teams and worked together to solve business cases related to the development of Russian IT products in the field of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and industrial automation.

For two weeks, young specialists studied technology trends together with experts from IT companies. Based on the new knowledge, the teams developed their own digital ideas for business. Following the defense of their projects before the jury, the best graduates joined the talent pool of IT CAMP partner companies, and 35 of them received offers from Gazprom Neft.

"Gazprom Neft already has more than ten thousand specialists with IT competencies, and the demand for IT personnel continues to grow," said Anton Dumin, IT Director of Gazprom Neft. "Over the years of IT CAMP, several hundred of its graduates have gone from beginners to middle developers, analysts and architects. Most of them are now working in our IT cluster. We expect that the share of young people in our team will grow by another 5-6 percent in the next two years."

"University education lays a fundamental foundation, forms a broad outlook and teaches systemic thinking," says Ilya Dementyev, Rector of Gazprom Neft Corporate University. "This is a necessary, but not always sufficient stage for starting a career in a high-tech company. Projects such as IT CAMP allow you to supplement the knowledge you received at the university. Here, in conditions close to real ones, students not only gain applied skills, but can also synchronize their level of training with our current needs. We see this as an effective tool that helps young specialists make a smooth transition from theory to practice."

The only representative of the Polytechnic University at IT CAMP, Ksenia Eremina, graduated from the PhysMech Institute with a bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. According to the girl, she decided to do something related to IT in her master's degree program and chose the Gazprom Neft and Polytechnic Institute's corporate master's program "Enterprise IT Infrastructure" at IKNK.

"Thanks to the corporate Master's program, I got to IT CAMP," Ksenia shared. "Our project was called "Model for assessing IT solutions in the oil industry." The goal was to optimize the process of selecting fields and generating project documentation. We developed a product based on LLM agents to automate one of the business processes related to document flow. Our team was made up of managers and specialists involved in analytics in IT products, so each participant was full of ideas. As a result of the discussions, we were able to come to a common vision of the solution and implement it. I am grateful to the guys for being able to unite, everyone gave 100 percent, thanks to which our team achieved such high results. I would like to especially thank our team mentor Daniil Rochev, who supported and inspired us. I would also like to thank Oleg Felixovich Mikhailov, former head of the development department at the CompMechLab laboratory at SPbPU, for the opportunities he provided and for believing in me as a specialist. I would also like to especially mention Igor Valerievich Nikiforov, a teacher at the Higher School of Software Engineering, and thank him for supporting students in all their endeavors."

IT CAMP is an all-Russian educational program that is included in the events of the Decade of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. IT CAMP is held every summer at the Sirius University of Science and Technology. Over the past five years, more than 10,000 students have taken part in the selection, and more than 440 young IT specialists have graduated from the program.

In 2025, the program for the first time combined two educational tracks – for university students and young IT specialists from large industry companies. The winners among students joined the talent pool of Russian technology companies, and three winning teams among young IT specialists were automatically enrolled in the final of the IT championship of the oil industry.

On September 4, a ceremonial event dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the institution took place in Vsevolozhsk at the site of the Multicenter for Social and Labor Integration. In the presence of the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, the rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Andrey Rudskoy and the director of the Multicenter Irina Drozdenko signed an agreement on strategic partnership. The agreement provides for the development of joint activities in the educational, scientific, technical and social spheres with an emphasis on supporting participants and veterans of the special military operation and is aimed at strengthening the country's technological leadership in accordance with the goals of the federal program "Priority-2030".

The cooperation is being developed as a systemic project of SPbPU — from identifying educational needs and forming a network of partners to designing digital tools and implementing adapted retraining programs. The work is coordinated by the Directorate of Continuing Education and Industry Partnership of SPbPU together with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport of the university, which ensures the integration of engineering training with social support mechanisms.

In the near future, a network training and production center for training operators of CNC machines will be opened on the basis of the Multicenter. The emergence of such a laboratory will become an important milestone in applied engineering training and will expand the opportunities for professional retraining for those who have returned from the front and are striving for sustainable employment in industry.

Commenting on the agreements reached, Andrey Rudskoy emphasized: Over the past ten years, the Multicenter has become not just an educational institution, but a real school of social integration and a reliable support for those who especially need help. Support for veterans of the SVO at the Polytechnic is based on a systemic approach: we do not limit ourselves to individual courses, but build holistic educational trajectories – from diagnostics and career guidance to professional retraining and employment. This format allows not only to adapt to civilian life, but also to obtain in-demand competencies for participation in the development of the economy and technological leadership of the country.

Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU Dmitry Tikhonov also outlined his position: Cooperation with the Multicenter is of particular importance to us in the context of creating the Polytechnic Center for Professional Development and New Competencies for Veterans of the SVO. The Polytechnic is already launching the first programs and recruiting military personnel who are fulfilling their military duty for training. In the coming months, we will launch pilot courses to fine-tune the mechanisms of mentoring, internships, and subsequent employment. Our task is to ensure a rapid, practice-oriented transition to in-demand engineering specializations.

The signing of the agreement was a logical continuation of the development of the partnership between SPbPU and the Multicenter insupport for veterans of the SVO and their involvement in solving technological leadership problems. The current stage expands the horizons of cooperation, transforming individual initiatives into a holistic and replicable model – with clear entrances for participants, transparent navigation, mentor support and direct communication with industry requests. The combined efforts of SPbPU and the Multicenter form a sustainable practice that combines respect for human experience with modern technological solutions, and serves as a basis for further scaling in the interests of the region and the country.

The admission campaign is a small life, full of expectations, hopes and important decisions. For thousands of applicants, the summer of 2025 was marked by the choice of a future profession, and for the Polytechnic University – in an effort to make this process as comfortable and understandable as possible. And now all the decisions have been made, the enrollment orders have been signed. A new, already student life is ahead.

The vast majority of documents (99%) were submitted by applicants remotely through the State Services portal, which allowed students from all corners of Russia to become part of the large Polytechnic family without any hassle. Applicants to master's and postgraduate programs could also submit an application through the Unified Portal.

But the admissions committee was also happy to meet in person. A modern multifunctional space was organized in the reading room of the main academic building, where it was possible to submit documents with the help of employees, conclude an agreement and submit consent for enrollment. Nearby, there were institute stands, where teachers, employees and students spoke in detail about programs, internships and employment prospects. An innovation this year were tours of laboratories, allowing applicants and their parents to get acquainted with the university infrastructure.

In 2025, Polytechnic broke its own record, receiving almost 149,000 applications for budget and contract places. The average USE score of those admitted to the budget increased to 84.3 (versus 83.8 in 2024), and the passing score for all areas exceeded 200.

The growth of interest in classical engineering specialties is particularly noticeable, which confirms the demand for training personnel for the real sector of the economy.

Leaders in Passing Score Growth

Technosphere safety (16 points) Metallurgy (13 points) Technical physics (12 points) Biotechnology (9 points)

At the same time, the passing score for many technical specialties is equal to popular IT areas: “Construction of unique buildings and structures” (266 points), “Mechatronics and robotics” (258 points), “Nuclear energy and thermal physics” (272 points).

Traditionally, the IT fields lead in the number of applications submitted: "Software Engineering" (4537), "Information Systems and Technologies" (3698), "Computer Science and Computer Engineering" (3506). Among the engineering specialties, the greatest interest was generated by: "Construction" (3760), "Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering" (2597), "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures" (2497).

The success of the admissions campaign is laid long before the summer. Motivated applicants with high scores come to the Polytechnic University largely due to the large-scale career guidance work that is carried out throughout the year.

The Polytechnic University actively supports the Olympiad movement, acting as an organizer and co-organizer of competitions for schoolchildren in a wide range of areas. Successful participation in Olympiads (including the All-Russian School Olympiad) from the list of the Russian Council of Olympiads gives applicants the right to enter without passing entrance examinations. In 2025, a new support system was introduced: applicants admitted without entrance examinations (BVI) and with high Unified State Exam scores will receive a grant of up to 120,000 rubles with the possibility of additional payments for excellent studies. This year, the Polytechnic University accepted 185 Olympiad participants – winners and prize winners of competitions, while the number of applicants with high Unified State Exam scores exceeded 400 people.

The Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction carries out large-scale work: it organizes educational programs and specialized shifts in leading all-Russian children's centers and regional centers for gifted children. Schoolchildren from all over the country immerse themselves in the world of modern technologies, studying relevant areas – mechanical engineering, unmanned transport, IT and biotechnology – and trying themselves in the role of researchers.

With the beginning of the holidays, summer educational intensives traditionally open – the Summer School and the Engineering League, dedicated to key areas for the Polytechnic: energy, aircraft and rocket engineering, IT, data analysis and others.

An important part of career guidance work is campus tours: thousands of schoolchildren visit academic buildings and laboratories every year to get to know the life of the Polytechnic from the inside. University representatives also actively participate in exhibitions of educational institutions across the country – from the Far East to the south of Russia. These efforts bring results: 70% of those enrolled from various regions choose the Polytechnic every year.

The key innovation of this admissions campaign was the "Petrovskaya Wave" system. It guaranteed admission to all applicants who scored the required passing score, making the process more transparent and reducing anxiety for many applicants.

"2025 has become a time of significant changes for the Polytechnic Admissions Committee," noted Varvara Sotova, Director of the Center for Formation of the Contingent of Students. "We have managed to implement a number of carefully prepared innovations: the launch of the "Petrovskaya Wave," an increase in grants for Olympiad winners, and the holding of the admissions campaign in a single space – the reading room. We are glad that everything was done at a high level."

A huge thank you to the large team that worked all summer long — you are real professionals! And to the new large team of more than 10,000 first-year polytechnic students — we wish you interesting studies, a rich and vibrant student life! — shared the responsible secretary of the admissions committee, Vitaly Drobchik.

The admission campaign for the Master's degree also showed impressive results. 23,827 applications were submitted for 2,340 budget places, and 6,789 for fee-paying places.
