The IPMEiT Sports Festival 2025, dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade, concluded at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. It once again brought together students, faculty, staff, and alumni, creating an atmosphere of unity, energy, and athletic excitement.

The festival's key day, held at the Polytechnic Sports Complex, brought together dozens of teams and individuals. Students and graduates competed in five disciplines: football, volleyball, basketball, swimming, and table tennis.

The team winners in the following events were: "Peterhof Wolves" (captain Artem Tereshchuk) in the football tournament, "The Road to 130 kg" (captain Timofey Korolev) in volleyball, and the "AirBall Team" (captain Timur Karamzin) took home the title of best basketball players. Varvara Prikhodchenko, Artem Makarov, Alexandra Sabanova, and Saveliy Cherepanov excelled in the individual swimming and table tennis events. Many competed in several sports, demonstrating their versatility and high level of preparation.

Artem Makarov, a student majoring in Business Informatics, deserves special attention. He was one of the festival's most active participants, competing in four of the five disciplines and winning prizes in all of them.

For me, the sports festival isn't just a competition, but an opportunity to rediscover the thrill of sport, surround myself with a team, and be inspired by the Polytechnic University atmosphere. Participating in various sports, you realize how exciting it is to try something new and support others. These events bring people together and leave a mark on a student's journey—and that's what makes them truly valuable," shared Artem Makarov.

A special event of the festival was a meeting between Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, and student hockey players from the "Black Bears" team, which won the Student Hockey League Super Cup in September. Among the winners were IPMEIT undergraduate and graduate students Evgeny Poltanov, Gleb Sedykh, Bogdan Olikhin, and Igor Ranyev. The discussion focused on combining sports and studies, prospects for professional growth, and the importance of support from the institute.

We are proud that our students not only successfully complete their academic programs but also bring glory to Polytechnic University in the sports arena. Their victories are the result of hard work, willpower, and passion for their work, emphasized Vladimir Shchepinin.

A meeting between students and representatives of the Zenit football club was held in the Posnikov Conference Hall of the IPMEIT academic building as part of the sports festival. Representatives of the club's departments addressed the students: Content Director Artyom Petrov, Head of the Zenit Volunteer Center and Polytechnic University graduate Tatyana Nakhalova, Head of the Temporary Personnel Training Center Natalia Ivanenko, and the center's expert Igor Pavlovich.

"For me, as someone developing in the media, the meeting with Zenit representatives was very inspiring. It was fascinating to learn how ideas are born, content is developed, and a fan communication strategy is developed. Now I want to move in this direction even more confidently," noted Alexander Zinchenko, Deputy Chairman of the IPMET Faculty for Information and Media Activities and a student majoring in Marketing in Commercial Activities.

The festival concluded with the traditional event in the large hall of the Polytechnic Sports Complex. Students, alumni, staff, and faculty competed in team games, sports quizzes, and contests of skill and erudition. Five teams from the institute's higher schools and a team of staff and alumni took part in the program, which ultimately won. The team from the Higher School of Business Engineering took second place, and the team from the Higher School of Service and Trade took third.

The IPMEIT Sports Festival is more than just a series of competitions, but an important tradition that unites our institute's extended family. Such events shape corporate culture, strengthen team spirit, and create an atmosphere of support and mutual respect. "Every year, the festival demonstrates that IPMEIT is a community of active, goal-oriented, and caring people for whom sport is a part of their lives and a source of energy for new achievements," noted Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade.

For the second year, the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking agency, which publishes a family of international university rankings, together with the American Schmidt Science Fellows foundation, has published a ranking assessing the effectiveness of universities in interdisciplinary research – THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026 (ISR).

This year, Polytechnic University is featured in this ranking for the first time and immediately entered the top 400 universities worldwide for interdisciplinary research. Among Russian universities, SPbPU shares 10th and 11th place with Kazan Federal University. A total of 1,267 higher education institutions worldwide participated in this year's ranking, including 51 from Russia.

"Our university emphasizes interdisciplinary research as a driver of progress and the formation of the university of the future. Innovative projects such as the high-tech production of power engineering components demonstrate the synergy of competencies in digital modeling, materials science, and energy. Polytechnic University also promotes interdisciplinary approaches in education. The MetaCampus Polytechnic University virtual system creates the conditions for acquiring comprehensive skills in digital technologies, architecture, and management. These are just a few examples reflecting the university's high level of technological development and motivating teams from various fields to unite to create world-class developments," commented SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

In today's world, scientific breakthroughs rarely occur in a narrow, isolated field. It is at the intersection of disciplines that the most daring ideas and solutions are born. Interdisciplinary research at our university is not just a trendy trend, but a fundamental principle that allows us to create synergies and open new horizons, noted Vice Rector for Human Resources Maria Vrublevskaya.

The ISR methodology is based on an analysis of 11 indicators divided into three groups corresponding to the life cycle of a research project: inputs (19% of the total weight), ongoing activities (process, 16% of the total weight), and outputs (65% of the total weight). Within these groups, indicators such as funding for interdisciplinary research, including from industry, administrative support and promotion, as well as the quantity and quality of cross-disciplinary scientific publications were assessed.

On November 21, 1991, a significant event occurred in the history of science and education in Russia: by decree of then-President Boris Yeltsin, the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) was established.

Its creation was a response to the challenges of the time, when the country needed to update its scientific approach and introduce modern research methods.

The Academy united numerous scientific institutes and laboratories, creating a powerful platform for scientific activity. The Russian Academy of Sciences became a hub for scientists to exchange ideas, conduct joint research, and develop innovative projects.

Today, the Russian Academy of Sciences continues to actively develop, introducing new scientific directions and attracting a younger generation of scientists to scientific activities.

The State University of Management actively collaborates with the Academy and fully supports initiatives aimed at developing science and education. The university houses a Student Design Bureau and several research centers, and conducts ongoing research and development. An Advanced Engineering School has been established jointly with the M.D. Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technological University.

We congratulate all scientists, academics, and students on this significant date and wish them continued success in their scientific endeavors. May the academics' achievements inspire a new generation of researchers to make discoveries and accomplishments for the benefit of society and the country.

This Friday is doubly wonderful than any other, because today marks the birthday of Nikolai Mikhailov, Advisor to the Rector's Office of the State University of Management, Associate Professor, and PhD in Geographical Sciences.

There's probably not a single person on our university floor who doesn't know Nikolai Nikolaevich: his smile encourages applicants, his penetrating gaze inspires a desire to learn, and his ironclad character keeps all the admissions staff and faculty of the Ecology and Nature Management program on their toes.

Nikolai Mikhailov, a true member of the Russian Geographical Society, has traveled throughout the country, from the southern seas to the Arctic Circle, and understands the unique characteristics of different regions like no one else.

On this day, we wish him many more years to maintain his youthful spirit, positive attitude, and cheerfulness, so that he can continue to make our university even better and more effective.
