Natalia Grozova, an engineer at the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering", a graduate of the master's program of the PIS "Mechanics of Polymer and Composite Materials", spoke at a pitch session during the XII International Forum of Technological Development "Technoprom-2025".

The event was attended by young engineers and researchers from various Russian universities. They presented their experience of studying, participating in projects and interacting with industrial partners.

Natalia Grozova noted the practical orientation of the training in her speech: As part of our master's program, we were not limited to fundamental disciplines, but studied in depth specialized areas of polymer and composite materials. Internships at enterprises such as UEC Saturn and cooperation with the Kabardino-Balkarian State University allowed us to immerse ourselves in the processes of synthesis and processing of materials. This approach made it possible not only to master the theory, but also to immediately apply knowledge in real projects.

The Polytechnic engineer spoke about the main areas of research at the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory, on which the master's program is based:

technologies of impregnation with thermoplastic polymers; technologies of welding composite materials from thermoplastic polymers; development of technology for automated laying out of thermoplastic tape; development of technology and equipment for recycling waste and end-of-life products from thermoplastic polymer composite materials (TPCM); development of optically transparent composite materials for use in solar batteries; development of auxiliary technologies and equipment; study of the processes of formation and evolution of the structure of TPCM (crystallization kinetics, radiation resistance, aging, etc.).

“Our laboratory develops a technology for impregnating tapes with thermoplastic polymers, which was implemented in the interests of the composite division of Rosatom – JSC Umatex,” said Natalia Grozova. – My direct participation in the project was related to assistance in developing a technology for impregnating thermoplastic polymers to obtain a filament continuously reinforced for 3D printing. This is one of the leading technologies that is currently being implemented in our country. In early 2023, a laboratory unit with four lines was developed and manufactured to obtain continuously reinforced filament on the superstructural and high-temperature polymer polyetheretherketone. It was a laboratory unit with a capacity of 500 meters per hour. In 2024, we developed a pilot industrial unit for 40 reels, which has a record productivity of 12,000 meters per hour.”

The topic of the final qualification work and master's thesis of the graduate of the SPbPU PISh "Digital Engineering" is "Development of optically transparent composite materials for the protection of solar elements of satellites". This work is carried out in cooperation with the company "Bureau 1440".

We have conducted a large cycle of research related to the study of methods for obtaining and ensuring resistance to radiation exposure of optically transparent polymer composite materials based on thermoplastic polyurethane and glass fillers of various shapes to create protective coatings for solar cells used in spacecraft, Natalia Grozova summarized.

Following the pitch session, participants confirmed that leading engineering schools are currently shaping a new generation of engineers who combine fundamental training with industry skills.

The Institute of Civil Engineering of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has summed up the results of this year's admission campaign. The results once again confirmed the high level of trust of applicants in one of the most prestigious institutes in the country, which continues to prepare professionals to solve the most complex problems of modern construction.

Following the 2025 admissions campaign, ISI accepted more than 1,200 students, 43 of whom were admitted without entrance examinations due to outstanding achievements in Olympiads and competitions. The passing scores for the Construction program were 244 points, and for the Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures program — 266 points for the main competitive places. More than 1,000 applicants choose ISI annually, which indicates its stable popularity among future students.

Today, the Civil Engineering Institute trains specialists in six areas of training: "Construction", "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures", "Design" and "Design of the Architectural Environment", "Urban Planning", and "Technosphere Safety". Based on the rich heritage of the hydraulic engineering faculty and the achievements of outstanding scientists, the institute is forming a new generation of highly qualified engineers ready to solve urgent problems of the construction industry.

The history of the Civil Engineering Institute dates back to 1907. Since its foundation, the Institute has always been a leading educational center for training personnel for the construction industry, producing highly qualified specialists of international level, whose knowledge and experience formed the basis for the creation of unique facilities throughout Russia and beyond.

A special place in history is occupied by the Faculty of Hydrotechnics, which from 1934 to 1999 became the center for training engineers for the largest hydrotechnical projects. Currently, there are no hydroelectric power plants in Russia in the justification, design and construction of which graduates of the Faculty of Hydrotechnics would not have participated. The same can be said about hydrotechnical facilities in the former republics of the USSR, now sovereign states. Many graduates participated in the design and construction of facilities in Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Turkey and other countries. Particular pride is caused by the participation of the faculty in the justification of a complex of protective structures for St. Petersburg from floods.

The faculty of that period employed outstanding scientists whose names have received wide recognition not only in Russia but also abroad. Among them were A. Z. Basevich, A. V. Belov, P. I. Vasiliev, P. D. Glebov, S. S. Galushkevich, O. G. Dietz, N. V. Zarubaev, P. L. Ivanov, B. D. Kachanovsky, V. S. Knoroz, M. P. Kozhevnikov, I. I. Levi, V. E. Lyakhnitsky, A. L. Mozhevitinov, A. A. Morozov, S. D. Okorokov, A. A. Sabaneev, N. A. Filimonov, V. A. Florin, Yu. I. Yagn, M. D. Chertousov, R. R. Chugaev, D. S. Shchavelev. Their scientific achievements had a significant impact on the development of the construction industry and engineering.

Today, the Civil Engineering Institute continues the tradition of high-quality training of specialists, following its mission – to educate engineers who provide technological and cognitive leadership in the construction industry of the Russian Federation. Over the past few years, it has consistently confirmed its reputation as an advanced educational center in the field of construction.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Another work season of the Polytechnic student teams is coming to an end. As always, it brought a lot of new impressions, bright emotions and unusual experience. For Anna Kurakina from the service team "Altair" this summer was special. The 4th-year student of the IPMEiT majoring in "Human Resources Management" joined the headquarters of the All-Russian service project "Gelendzhik". As a foreman, she coordinated the activities of the joint student team of the same name.

The project participants worked in the hotels "METROPOL Grand Hotel Gelendzhik 5*" and "Primorye Grand Resort Hotel". 130 students from ten regions of Russia worked as maids, cooks, bartenders, waiters, laundry operators, housekeepers, creating a premium service for city guests. Before employment, each of them mastered an additional working profession for free.

For Anna Kurakina, participation in the all-Russian project was not accidental. Back in 2023, the girl took first place in the "Cook" competency at the professional skills competition of student service teams in St. Petersburg. In 2024, she entered the top three winners of this competition in the "Maid" competency at the city level and became the winner in the Northwestern Federal District.

"For me, the Gelendzhik project is, first of all, an opportunity to meet interesting people. Here, representatives of different regions exchange experiences, talk about themselves, this helps to develop the squad's horizons and take note of something," Anna shared her impressions of participating in the project. "I also tell everyone about the St. Petersburg squads, our traditions, events. It is very pleasant when the commander of one of the squads comes to you and says that he really liked "Svoy Zal" – a festival of non-professional short films shot by fighters of the student squads of St. Petersburg! Being a master of the all-Russian labor project is, of course, difficult, but no less interesting. Every day brings new challenges, and we solve them all together."

Last Saturday, the Main Academic Building of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University was once again filled with ringing voices and inquisitive glances. The University held a big celebration for future applicants and their parents, which combined three key events at once: Open Day of Children's Education, Open Day of Preparatory Courses, and the exciting Polytech Quest.

This day became a real journey into the world of science and technology for guests of all ages. Schoolchildren were able to touch the future, and their parents were able to get answers to all questions about additional education and preparation for admission to the largest engineering university in Russia.

From Robots to Drones: The Future Starts Here

The exhibition of clubs and master classes became the center of attraction for future engineers. Children from 5th to 11th grade were able to immerse themselves in the world of additive technologies. They learned how to print on 3D printers, understood the principles of drones and got acquainted with robots under the guidance of experienced mentors and current students.

The key university departments working with schoolchildren presented their programs: the Center for Work with Applicants, the Center for Work with Educational Organizations, the House of Scientists in Lesnoy, the Creative Studio, the Sports Complex, preparatory courses for the Engineering and Construction Institute, and the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education. The Academy of Informatics for Schoolchildren also introduced future graduates to its programs and organized an exciting quest. The SPbPU History Museum opened its exposition for the children, and the Natural Sciences Lyceum told about admission for graduates from the 9th grade. In addition to the university's educational programs, the guests learned about the opportunities to participate in Olympiads, competitions, and shifts at the Sirius Educational Center.

An Open Day of the Polytechnic preparatory courses was held especially for high school students and their parents. Guests had a unique opportunity to personally communicate with teachers and organizers, ask all questions about preparing for the Unified State Exam, Basic State Exam and entrance examinations, learn about the intricacies of admission and immediately enroll in courses.

An intellectual adventure in the heart of campus

The Polytechnic Quest for schoolchildren from the Academy of Informatics was a bright end to the day. The teams went on an intellectual walk around the Polytechnic Park. They had to find checkpoints and complete tasks that required not only logic and erudition, but also the ability to work in a team.

Traditionally, at the very beginning of the academic year, we opened the doors of the university to schoolchildren of different ages. Attracting talent is the most important vector of development of engineering education and Polytechnic is always at the forefront. Last Saturday clearly showed that the interest of schoolchildren and their parents in this area is growing exponentially. We tried to show everyone that we are waiting for them within our walls today, it is not necessary to wait for graduation, – noted the head of the Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction Nikolay Snegirev.

The next meetings with Polytechnic are just around the corner. The University is already preparing new events for everyone who is passionate about science and technology.

Ending the summer with good deeds. Polytechnicians delivered humanitarian aid to the DPR

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

At the end of August, representatives of the military-historical club "Our Polytechnic" made a working trip to the Donetsk People's Republic. The main goal of the mission was the delivery of humanitarian supplies to military personnel and civilians, but the trip also included a cultural and educational component. This initiative was a continuation of the regular volunteer activities of the university, which have been carried out since 2022.

The road to Donbass began with crossing the Rostov region and moving towards the border territories. The first settlement that met the delegation was the city of Antratsit. It has remained virtually unchanged since 2014: signs, advertisements and buildings have been preserved. Time seemed to have stopped, and only military checkpoints and equipment reminded us of today.

The route then led through Debaltseve and Yenakiyeve, cities where the war had left its mark. Destroyed houses, traces of fires, damaged bridges and roads clearly demonstrated the consequences of military action. In Yenakiyeve, the delegation saw the consequences of a drone attack on a gas station: burnt cars and half-destroyed structures remained a silent reminder of recent events.

The Spartak district at the entrance to Donetsk made a special impression. This quarter became one of the symbols of resistance and suffered the most during the fighting. Empty streets, multi-story buildings with broken windows and openings sealed with polyethylene – all this became a silent testimony of what was experienced. However, in the very center of the city, the delegation was met with the opposite picture: lively streets, many young people, working shops and cafes. Despite the proximity of the front, Donetsk continues to live an active urban life.

The main purpose of the trip was to deliver humanitarian aid. This time, more than 150 camouflage nets made by students and staff of SPbPU, a UAZ vehicle, components, tools and electric generators were transferred to the DPR.

Humanitarian aid was sent to support both military personnel and civilians. In addition, it was possible to collect museum exhibits – trophies and items from the front line, which will soon be presented in the exhibition spaces of the university and the city.

During the trip, the university representatives visited artillery units and were able to see the living conditions of the soldiers. The soldiers set up rest areas, kitchens, field baths and even small sports areas on their own. These examples clearly showed how important the interaction between volunteers and the army is: even simple assistance allows servicemen to feel care and support from the rear. Perhaps the most vivid impression from the trip was communication with officers and soldiers. It is one thing to follow what is happening in the SVO zone through a phone screen and quite another to listen to their combat stories live.

An equally important part of the mission was the development of educational projects. Admission to SPbPU's continuing professional education programs was organized for participants and veterans of the SVO. By the end of the year, more than 120 people will be able to take advanced training courses in high-tech industries.

This approach not only helps to provide soldiers and veterans with knowledge needed in civilian life, but also promotes their social adaptation after service. Such programs have already become an important part of the university's humanitarian work, and the number of participants is growing every month.

"Polytech systematically develops additional professional education for participants and veterans of the SVO, based on the diagnostics of educational needs, modular design and employment support. Based on the survey and employer requests, priority areas and profiles of students have been identified, participation formats have been agreed upon with key partners," said the head of the Directorate of Continuing Education and Industry Partnership SPbPU Ivan Kurta. — Courses on fire safety, UAS maintenance, training of industrial training masters, psychological, pedagogical and methodological foundations of additional professional education, state and municipal management, CAD and electronics are ready for launch. The Polytechnic Center for Professional Development of Veterans of the Northwestern Military District is being formed. A replicable model is being tested, including diagnostics, individual routes, modular practice-oriented programs, mentoring, internships and assistance with employment. A program for teachers and mentors has been developed, focused on digital support and individualization of educational trajectories."

At the end of the trip, the delegation visited the Alley of Memory of the Fallen Children of Donbass, a memorial erected in honor of the young residents of the region who died as a result of shelling. This place has become a symbol of the resilience and pain experienced by the residents of Donetsk. Residents of the city regularly bring flowers and toys here, maintaining the memory of the innocent victims of the conflict.

According to Ivan Kolomeitsev, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Social Sciences at SPbPU, humanitarian trips have become an integral part of the university's life: Honestly, I have already lost count of the number of missions. But it is especially pleasant to see that students are not indifferent and actively involved in the work. I would like to thank all the polytechnics, graduates and friends of the university, as well as our regular partners from the government of St. Petersburg and the Gorelectrotrans company for their support.

From the summer of 2022 to the present, under the auspices of Peter the Great SPbPU, more than 50 tons of various cargo have been delivered to military personnel and civilians in the SVO area. Among them are 9 all-terrain vehicles, car parts, tools for various purposes, special equipment, communications equipment, clothing, food and hygiene products. In populated areas of the Zaporizhia region, with the direct participation and under the guidance of university employees and volunteers, the water supply system has been restored. In addition, more than 1,800 camouflage nets with a total area of over 36 thousand square meters have been manufactured and transferred to units of the Russian Armed Forces and other departments. Meetings with SVO participants are regularly held at the university.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 8, the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Siege of Leningrad, a series of screenings of the literary and musical composition “Russia, Don’t Be Afraid, We Are With You” began at the Polytechnic for first-year students.

For the fourth year, within the framework of the “Creative Semesters” discipline, a conversation has been conducted with students about the events in freezing blockaded Leningrad and the Donbass burning from bombings using music and words.

"Today is the day of the beginning of the Leningrad blockade, but also the day of the liberation of Donbass from the Nazi invaders. So, in one day, two such events have come together, as in our work, born in 2016, when a huge milestone in our history began and continues to this day," said the author of the project, actress of the G. A. Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater Alexandra Kulikova. "I have great hope that our word will be heard. And it should not be otherwise. Because we are honest, and the Polytechnic is permeated with attention to the young – to those who are to seek, build, love, remember and pass on."

On September 8, two screenings took place in a row. The first to hear poems by Anna Akhmatova and Olga Berggolts, poems and documentary texts by Donbass residents, accompanied by an orchestra, were first-year students of the Institute of Energy and the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity.

Full halls, hundreds of students, and like one! Attentive and listening… They managed to put their phones aside for a while and live this story with us. I feel great gratitude and tenderness for each of them and I believe that each of them has purity, compassion, love for people and their country, – noted Alexandra Kulikova.

The composition, which combined poetry, documentary evidence and music, became an important emotional and educational experience for the students.

I couldn't hold back my tears… Expressive reading, piercing music and the topic itself – it was unexpected to find myself at such a lecture. This is a very important work of the university – everyone should know about the terrible events that happened and are still happening, – shared 1st year student of the Institute of Historical and Cultural Studies Valentina Fomina.

The management of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is grateful to the actress of the G. A. Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater Alexandra Kulikova and the conductor of the Donetsk Philharmonic Valeria Putra, who united singers and musicians to implement this important statement. Preserving the memory of the exploits of the past and present helps polytechnicians become not only the engineering elite of the country, but also people devoted to their Fatherland.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Foreign students of the preparatory faculty of the Polytechnic University from more than ten countries spent their holidays getting to know Russia and St. Petersburg. Guests from India, Pakistan, Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria, Angola, Cameroon, Egypt, Algeria and many other countries rested in a summer camp, made friends, went on excursions and immersed themselves in the cultural life of the Northern capital.

The camp program was designed so that every day would give new impressions. The students visited magnificent palaces and parks, cozy courtyards and embankments of St. Petersburg, and discovered the beauty of the Leningrad Region.

Particular attention was paid to deep immersion in culture. For students from Pakistan, for example, a special interactive lecture was held on "Saint Petersburg: Historical and Modern Mysteries of the Northern Capital."

The children also took a virtual journey from the founding of the city by Peter I to the present day, learned about the main museums, theaters and architectural masterpieces. The meeting ended with a fascinating quiz, which helped consolidate new knowledge.

But the main result of the summer was, of course, friendship without borders. Language barriers easily collapsed during joint games, quests and informal evenings, giving way to sincere laughter and mutual understanding. The summer camp once again showed that, despite the differences in cultures and traditions, all Polytechnic students are one big and friendly team.

The organizers and participants thank everyone who helped make this summer so eventful. The energy and openness to the world of the Polytechnic University's international students make the university community even brighter and stronger.

Now the summer impressions have become a pleasant baggage of memories, which will help to start the school year with fresh strength. Let's wish everyone a productive autumn and success.
