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.

The most popular IT Master's programs

Technology of development and support of high-quality software product — 680 applications Fundamentals of analysis and development of applications with large volumes of distributed data — 624 applications Systems analysis and optimization of information systems and technologies — 544 applications Leaders of the engineering block Organization and management of investment and construction projects — 638 applications Digital construction of buildings and structures — 569 applications Urban construction and infrastructure — 388 applications

A unique feature of the Polytechnic's Master's program is its corporate programs, launched jointly with leading industrial partners. They provide students with real projects, mentors and guaranteed employment.

This year, the admissions committee placed special emphasis on the portfolio competition, following which 551 people received a place at the university. Also enrolled were 14 winners of the "I am a professional" Olympiad and 2 winners of the All-Russian engineering competition.

"This year's admission to the Polytechnic University's Master's program has confirmed the success of the individual approach and the practice of assessing the achievements of applicants," commented Vice-Rector for Educational Activities Lyudmila Pankova. "We see a steady increase in the number of participants and applicants using this mechanism year after year – the practice is fully justified. We congratulate the new Master's students and wish them to realize their most ambitious scientific and professional goals."

The admissions campaign is over, and the main heroes of Polytechnic University 2025 are ready to make new discoveries!

September 3 is the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism in Russia. Today we remember the victims of terrorist attacks and pay tribute to law enforcement officers who died in the fight against terrorists.

Solidarity Day is directly connected with the tragic events in Beslan on September 1-3, 2004. Then, during a ceremonial assembly at School No. 1, a group of terrorists took more than 1,100 children, their parents and teachers hostage. The school was mined, and the hostages were kept in the gym in the harshest conditions. The entire country watched with horror the dramatic events unfolding in the small Beslan school.

On the third day, a series of explosions occurred in the building and an assault began. Most of the hostages were freed. 333 people died, including 186 children.

This pain will never go away from my heart.

On September 3, 2005, the Tree of Sorrow monument was unveiled at the City of Angels Memorial Cemetery, where the victims of the terrorist attack are buried. The school gymnasium remained a makeshift memorial for a long time, where relatives and friends of the victims and caring people would come. A wooden Orthodox cross was installed in the middle of the hall, and the walls were covered with photographs of the victims. Common grief unites, and among the inscriptions on the walls one can see the words “Nord-Ost is with you”. Flowers and children’s toys lay near the cross and along the walls of the hall, and there were open bottles of water, symbolizing the suffering of the hostages from thirst. “We beg you, give us water,” reads the inscription on the memorial drinking fountain installed in the City of Angels.

Following these terrible events, security measures were strengthened in all schools across the country: barriers were built, panic buttons were installed, and contracts with security companies were concluded. Security is also monitored in higher education institutions. Anti-terrorist training is regularly held at the Polytechnic University, and video surveillance is installed. We appeal to all employees and students – be vigilant, report all suspicious people and objects to the University Security Center by phone: 7 (921) 940-66-75, 8 (812) 534-61-18.

A research team led by SPbPU professor Vladimir Ivanov, in partnership with neurosurgeons from a specialized hospital in Chennai (India), has successfully tested an improved version of a surgical navigation system based on artificial intelligence and augmented reality. The development allows detailed 3D holograms of brain structures integrated with MRI data to be projected onto the surgical field in real time, which increases the accuracy of interventions and reduces intraoperative risks.

Surgical navigation is the gold standard in modern neurosurgery. However, traditional systems have limitations, requiring the surgeon to constantly shift his gaze from the surgical field to a separate monitor. Augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are designed to solve this problem by integrating virtual 3D models of anatomical structures directly into the surgeon’s field of view.

One of such promising developments is the Medgital Vision software and hardware complex, created by the research group of Professor Vladimir Ivanov from the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics and Mathematical Physics of SPbPU.

The Medgital Vision system is a complex that combines algorithms of computer vision, machine learning and augmented reality.

3D reconstruction. Based on MRI/CT data, AI algorithms create highly accurate 3D models of the surgical area, in particular, complex brain structures. Holographic projection. The model in the form of an interactive hologram is projected directly onto the surgical field through an AR headset or a specialized display, providing the surgeon with “X-ray” vision. Intraoperative navigation. The system tracks the position of surgical instruments in real time and combines them with a virtual hologram, ensuring the highest navigation accuracy.

The updated version of the system was tested by the leading developer Ildar Mamaev at a specialized hospital. At the request of Indian colleagues, the AI algorithms were modified for even more detailed visualization of specific areas of the brain. The very first operation performed using the updated system confirmed its clinical effectiveness and stable operation in the conditions of a real surgical process.

The success in India continues a series of international adoptions of the technology.

2023 — the first operations using the system were performed in medical centers in Turkey and Belarus. 2024 — the development received top awards at prestigious international competitions HICOOL (China) and ITECH (China). 2025-2026 — it is planned to implement the system in clinics in Mexico and Ecuador, as well as to open a full-fledged representative office in India.

The head of the Committee for Industrial Policy, Innovation and Trade of St. Petersburg, Alexander Sitov, noted: St. Petersburg has enormous potential in creating artificial intelligence technologies. We are among the leaders in the country in the field of AI development. The city helps developers determine the maturity level of their technologies and promote them to international markets, which is clearly demonstrated by the success of the Medgital Vision project.

Professor Vladimir Ivanov emphasized: Entering the international arena is not only a commercial task for us, but also an important stage in validating the technology. Each new implementation in the world's leading clinic provides invaluable data for further improvement of artificial intelligence algorithms and increasing the accuracy of the system.

Successful testing of the Medgital Vision system in India confirms its competitiveness in the global medical equipment market. The development of St. Petersburg scientists makes a significant contribution to the development of digital surgery, allowing to increase safety and reduce the invasiveness of complex neurosurgical operations. Further international expansion and collection of clinical data will contribute to the evolution of the system towards full automation of surgical planning.
