The White Hall was transformed for a performance by ballet dancers – the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet began collaborating with the main cultural institution, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The Polytechnic University managed to prepare a special ballet stage covering and provide lighting for the production to ensure a successful premiere.

This isn't a coincidence: over a hundred years ago, the legendary Matilda Kschessinska danced on this very stage. Today, young dancers continue this tradition, filling the hall with the same inspiring atmosphere that once accompanied the famous ballerina's performances. "The transformation of the White Hall stage into a ballet stage has become a symbol of the continuity of generations and a living connection between the history of the Polytechnic University and the history of Russian ballet," noted Boris Kondin, Head of the SPbPU Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity.

Students from the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet's Choreography Department performed a program that combined a contemporary approach to the art of dance with a commitment to the traditions of the great Vaganova school. In the choreographic cycle "Creations," they explored the eternal themes of choosing one's path in life and finding one's guiding star. They presented one of the most famous Old Testament stories, "Cain and Abel," and a poetic interpretation of the ancient Greek myth, "The Abduction of Europa," as well as a choreographic interpretation of Alexander Mitta's Soviet film, "The Tale of Wanderings."

New music by Sofia Gubaidullina, David Lang, Arvo Pärt and Alfred Schnittke was also performed in the White Hall.

"I'm proud that St. Petersburg has such a strong school of contemporary dance, and that the new generation of choreographers are so free in their stage designs that they can offer the kind of performance we saw today," shared Yulia Smirnova, a fourth-year student at the SPbPU State Institute of Dance. "And the White Hall, with its extraordinary lighting, is the perfect stage for it."

The collaboration between the Polytechnic University and the Academy of Russian Ballet is based on a commitment to preserving and developing Russian culture, inspiring through aesthetic education, and making choreographic art accessible to everyone, as the White Hall is known for its affordable ticket prices and discounts for students, schoolchildren, and pensioners.

Ballet performances will become regular events in the White Hall, with the upcoming performance featuring the fairytale ballet "The Little Humpbacked Horse." On December 27, the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet will present New Year's adventures and graceful choreography in the ceremonial setting of the White Hall.

The 27th All-Russian Youth Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors and Nanostructures, Semiconductor Opto- and Nanoelectronics was held in St. Petersburg. The conference was attended by approximately 100 students, postgraduates, and young scientists from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, and other Russian cities, as well as from Armenia (Yerevan) and Belarus (Minsk).

The conference was organized by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Alferov University, the A.F. Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute, St. Petersburg State University, and the Russian-Armenian University. The conference was supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation as part of the project "Implementation of a Set of Measures to Enhance the Efficiency of Slavic Universities," as well as by Tidex LLC.

The conference was opened by Dmitry Firsov, Chairman of the Organizing Committee (HIFS IEIT). Alexander Naumov, Rector of Alferov University, delivered a welcoming address. He noted that for over 20 years, the university has been welcoming young scientists who discuss their scientific achievements in a warm atmosphere.

In his speech, Mikhail Glazov, Chairman of the Program Committee and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology), emphasized the crucial role of tradition and continuity in science. It's remarkable that for over a quarter century, St. Petersburg has regularly hosted meetings of students, postgraduates, and young scientists, providing them with the opportunity to discuss semiconductor physics and nanoelectronics, as well as the latest research in these fields. Traditions of honest scientific inquiry and heated debate live within the walls of Alferov University. And if mistakes occasionally occur, there's no need to be afraid. Of the 150 abstracts submitted, approximately two-thirds were selected, and the program included 40 papers by undergraduates and 57 papers by postgraduates and young scientists.

The conference's high scientific level was enhanced by invited speakers—leading Russian scientists. On the opening day, renowned quantum physics expert Alexey Toropov (Ioffe Institute) delivered a presentation titled "Deterministic Photon Sources: Achievements and Challenges." He discussed the history of single-photon sources and the latest advances in this field. An important area for the practical application of the research results is secure quantum communication systems.

The second invited speaker, Vladislav Malyshkin (Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology), presented a review of research on the very popular and relevant topic of "Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Physics," which focused on a historical overview of the emergence and development of artificial intelligence.

Among the presentations by undergraduate and graduate students, many outstanding works, executed at the highest and most modern level, were highlighted. A competition for the best paper was held among young scientists, with diplomas and prizes awarded. A special issue of the journal based on the conference materials is being prepared for publication. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Journal. Physics and Mathematics, indexed in Scopus.

As always, the conference was a vibrant exchange of experience and information. It's gratifying to see that year after year, new scientific connections and collaborations emerge, develop, and strengthen between students, postgraduates, and young scientists from Russia, Armenia, and other countries.
