A communication session between Gazprom Neft universities and partners was held in Moscow. A key part of the discussion was mechanisms for strengthening research collaboration between educational institutions and industry-specific companies. The Polytechnic University was represented at the event by Dmitry Bogdanov, Director of the Gazpromneft-Polytechnic Scientific and Educational Center, and Inga Shustik, Chief Specialist at the Scientific and Educational Center. Shustik delivered a strategic presentation, presenting the educational program and outlining the philosophy behind personnel training, where each element is structured as an engineering system.

Over its 11 years of operation, the REC has created an educational ecosystem. As the speaker emphasized, the line between academic knowledge and practical application has been blurred. The center's engineers also serve as student mentors, and completed projects serve as case studies.

We prepare students for work by immediately immersing them in real production processes, Inga Shustik outlined our approach.

Events like these are an opportunity to receive feedback from the industry. We see a growing demand for specialists who can work at the intersection of disciplines. Our goal is to create an environment where theory is immediately reinforced by practice. This approach allows graduates to join companies as specialists, not interns, noted Dmitry Bogdanov.

The presentation focused on the Master's program "Mathematical Modeling of Oil and Gas Production Processes." According to Inga Shustik, this is not just an educational track, but a "social elevator" into the profession. 70 percent of students find employment at the REC while still studying, and 80% of graduates remain within Gazprom Neft.

Inga Shustik also discussed innovative courses in detail. The two-semester course "Fundamentals of Digital Engineering" includes theory and practice with generative neural networks, optimization methods, and real-world production challenges.

We teach students not just how to use AI, but how it changes the entire value chain—from exploration to production,” the speaker explained.

Of particular importance in the training of specialists is the participation of undergraduate and graduate students in the KNTN-3 project "Artificial Intelligence for Solving Cross-Industry Problems" under the leadership of Ivan Zhdanov as part of the Priority 2030 program, where they are working on the creation of a software platform for the automation of seismic data processing.

As part of the educational track, students are already solving modern projects.

Creation of PINN models for pressure prediction Development of transformers for GIS data interpretation Generative models for geological and geophysical data analysis

This integration of education, science, and production creates the basis for Russia's technological sovereignty in the oil and gas industry.

Our graduates join companies not as interns, but as fully-fledged specialists, ready to solve complex engineering problems, the speaker concluded.

The presented model demonstrates how modern education can become a driver of change in traditional industries, creating a talent pool for future technological leadership.

An NSU scientist has discovered the shortest possible pulse duration in fiber lasers.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A practical method for achieving the shortest pulse duration in all-fiber lasers was developed by Sergei Kobtsev, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Head of the Department of Laser Physics and Innovative Technologies at Novosibirsk State University. The results of his work in this area were published in the article "Production of ultrashort pulses in fiber lasers" ("Obtaining ultrashort pulses in fiber lasers"). The article became one of the most downloaded publications of the journal "Journal of the Optical Society of America B" in July-September 2025. The research was conducted within the framework of the project "New fiber short-pulse laser systems incorporating advanced composite materials, intelligent technologies and metrological extensions," supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

Fiber lasers are a promising type of laser, distinguished by improved key user parameters—the elimination of the need for precise laser cavity tuning, effective natural heat dissipation, efficient generation, and compactness. However, producing ultrashort pulses in these lasers is a challenging task due to increased dispersion and nonlinearity, often requiring the use of bulk optical elements. Such elements significantly reduce the advantages of fiber (or solid fiber) lasers.

"Sometimes, fiber lasers are used to describe combined configurations containing only a minority of fiber components, while the majority of the optical elements are bulk. Such combined fiber-bulk lasers lose important advantages associated with solid-fiber lasers. Although such combined fiber-bulk lasers can produce pulses lasting a few femtoseconds, these configurations differ little from traditional solid-state bulk lasers with their inherent drawbacks. We were interested in the minimum pulse duration possible in solid-fiber lasers, especially with fixed polarization. It turned out that such lasers can generate pulses of picosecond duration and longer," explained Sergey Kobtsev.

The results of this work are of interest to a wide range of specialists using fiber components in research and development. The ability to generate picosecond light pulses in all-fiber lasers expands their applications while maintaining the advantages of this type of laser. Given the increasing prevalence of all-fiber lasers, their generation characteristics are of great interest.

"Fiber lasers are undergoing rapid development. A few years ago, it seemed that fiber lasers could replace all other laser types due to their significant advantages. However, numerous studies have shown that these advantages are inherent not to all fiber lasers (combined, etc.), but specifically to all-fiber lasers. It became interesting to determine at what pulse durations the all-fiber configuration could be combined with short pulses. A detailed study of the problem revealed a solution: starting with pulse durations in the picosecond range, they can be generated in all-fiber lasers with fixed polarization. The mechanism for generating ultrashort pulses is also important, but a fundamental solution has already been demonstrated," explained Sergey Kobtsev.

A meeting between students and management representatives of the B1 Group of Companies was held at the Faculty of Economics at Novosibirsk State University. Participants discussed a wide range of topics, from the prospects for the development of the Russian and global economies to the intricacies of building a career at a major financial company and the secrets of personal development.

The B1 Group of Companies offers multidisciplinary services in audit, strategic, technological, and business consulting, transactions, valuation, taxation, law, and business support, and is one of the leaders in the domestic market in its field.

B1 has been a long-standing and reliable partner of NSU: the collaboration has been ongoing for over twenty years in a variety of formats, from specialized educational programs to internships for students at B1's Novosibirsk branch.

"I studied economics at NSU, and soon after joining the company, I convinced management that university graduates offer exceptional training. Since then, the number of our university graduates within the B1 team has only grown. It's fair to say that the Novosibirsk office was opened precisely because of the large number of talented NSU graduates," said Mikhail Khachaturyan, B1 partner and head of the audit and related services department.

For over ten years, B1 employees—graduates of the NSU Faculty of Economics—have been teaching the course "Financial Statement Analysis" at their home department. For a long time, Timofey Komarov, a partner in the Audit and Related Services Department and an NSU graduate, has been responsible for this project at B1 Group. This course is very popular among students of the Faculty of Economics, with an enrollment of approximately 100 students. Not many academic programs can boast such a large number of students.

However, the meeting focused more on how the financial, consulting, and auditing sectors of the economy will develop in the coming years and how university graduates can find a worthy place in this market.

"I'd like to give the students some advice on how to start their careers. And, most importantly, don't worry about what you know now; be ready to learn everything new. I'm often asked what they test for during interviews. First and foremost, we look at a person's intelligence: we want smart people to come, and we'll teach them the specifics of the job along the way. In this regard, NSU's strategy is very appropriate: its motto is "We teach you to think." That's why we've developed such a good partnership. Employees who think, are willing to learn, and develop find it easier to advance their careers, not just with us but with most companies," Mikhail Khachaturyan emphasized.

"B1 is a striking example of the Faculty of Economics' collaboration with representatives of the real economy, but it's not the only one. Currently, approximately 20 elective courses are taught by bank employees, including those of the Central Bank, consulting and auditing firms, and NSO ministries. Each course is supervised by a full-time faculty member. Importantly, these courses are integrated into the curriculum of each program, and their programs are tailored to the needs of the modern economy. But B1, as a participant in the educational process at NSU's Faculty of Economics, has one undeniable advantage: they have clearly established the "training-internship-job" chain. This is invaluable for both students and the faculty," noted Alla Komarova, PhD, Deputy Dean of the NSU Faculty of Economics for Economics.

Four students from the NSU Faculty of Natural Sciences won and placed first in the 4th International Chemistry Olympiad among students, which took place from October 15 to 17 in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, at Magtymguly Turkmen State University. Alexander Tomilov and Nazim Mustafin won gold medals, while Nikita Chernovsky and Alexander Sapov won silver.

Over 250 students from 47 universities in Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, the United Kingdom, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, China, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan participated in the competition. The Olympiad was held in two categories: Category A for students majoring in chemistry, and Category B for students in other fields. Russian participants won 13 gold medals, 11 of which were in Category A, demonstrating a high level of preparation.

Nazim Mustafin has won numerous prizes at major competitions: in 2025, he was among the winners of the "I Am a Professional" Olympiad, winning two bronze medals in the Chemistry and Biotechnology tracks. In 2024, as part of the NSU team, he received a third-place diploma in the Molecular and Cellular Biology section of the International Biological Universiade. Last year, he was also part of the NSU team that won a gold medal in the International Chemistry Olympiad at Magtymguly University in Ashgabat. Nazim works as a laboratory assistant at the International Tomography Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the Magnetic Resonance Microtomography Lab.

"Last year, we participated in this Olympiad with almost the same team, and it was a very rewarding experience. When the organizers sent an invitation again, I immediately began coordinating the trip with the dean's office. On behalf of the entire team, we express our deep gratitude to the leadership of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at NSU for their support and the opportunity to participate. This year, there was only one round, four hours long, with six problems. For many participants, this proved challenging: the problems were easy, but very complex, and sometimes there wasn't enough time to solve them," Nazim Mustafin shared.

Alexander Tomilov has participated in school olympiads in various subjects since the 7th grade. He developed an interest in chemistry in the 8th grade, and in the 10th and 11th grades, he won prizes in the final round of the All-Russian School Olympiad in Chemistry. In 2022, he entered Novosibirsk State University (NSU), majoring in Chemistry. During this time, he successfully competed in the All-Russian Student Olympiad "I Am a Professional" in Chemistry (winner in 2024, gold medalist in 2025), as well as the International Chemistry Olympiad at Makhtumkuli Tomsk State University (gold medalist in 2024 and 2025). He works at the International Tomography Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, conducting research in the fields of EPR spectroscopy and metal-organic coordination polymers.

"I already participated in this Olympiad last year and wanted to prove my abilities. This year, I was able to properly balance my efforts and focus on tasks I was confident in. This is what helped me secure a gold medal. I was nervous while writing the Olympiad problems, but when I received the results, I was thrilled not only for myself but for the entire NSU team. We won two gold and two silver medals—one of the best results among Russian universities," notes Alexander Tomilov.

The Olympiad was not only an academic challenge but also a unique experience of networking and knowledge sharing. Students found the forum interesting as a platform where science and practice intersect with business and innovation.

"The experience of working with diversely trained participants is invaluable. For example, one of our colleagues, Nikita Chernovsky, just last week won the Mendeleev Competition for Young Scientists. This demonstrates the students' high level of fundamental preparation," says Alexander.

The Olympiad is held annually and aims to develop academic collaboration, stimulate student interest in scientific research, and enhance the participants' professional skills. The results of the NSU team confirm the high standard of student training in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and demonstrate the university's competitiveness on the international stage.

"There was a funny moment. Before the medal presentation, everyone was seated according to their scores. Since I was attending a conference on educational methods, I was seated separately, and I wasn't sure until the end what color medal I'd receive. I admit, I was a little nervous at the threshold between the gold and silver medals," Nazim recounts.

We congratulate the medalists and wish them new victories in the future!

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev met with Alexey Tsydenov, Head of the Republic of Buryatia. The meeting focused on the implementation of the republic's state rural development program, issues related to the agro-industrial complex, and the environmental agenda.

Alexey Tsydenov noted that Buryatia has traditionally been a livestock-raising region. Today, the republic has four breeding farms and 18 breeding farms specializing in various livestock breeding areas. Furthermore, crop production is actively developing. In particular, one of the current priorities is the restoration of seed farms.

The Republic of Buryatia is implementing the state program "Integrated Development of Rural Areas." As part of this program, a clinic is being built in the remote village of Kurumkan. It will serve over 13,000 residents from ten surrounding settlements. The building will house adult and pediatric departments, a day hospital, and various laboratories. Under this program, construction of social facilities and housing for in-demand specialists in the region continues, and public spaces are being improved.

Dmitry Patrushev and Alexey Tsydenov also discussed environmental issues. As part of the national project "Ecology," the Republic of Buryatia has been working to eliminate unauthorized landfills, create a comprehensive solid municipal waste management system, preserve Lake Baikal, restore forests, and clean up water bodies. Over 15 billion rubles were allocated from the federal budget for these purposes. Work in these areas will continue in the region as part of the national project "Environmental Well-Being."

The meeting focused on the reconstruction of wastewater treatment facilities in the region. Progress is regularly monitored at Incident #55 "Wastewater Treatment Facilities" meetings chaired by Dmitry Patrushev.

The 4th National Congress with International Participation, "National Healthcare 2025," opened at the National Center "Russia." Leading medical specialists, representatives of government, science, business, and civil society gathered to discuss the most pressing issues, exchange experiences, and develop effective solutions in healthcare. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova welcomed the congress participants.

Tatyana Golikova spoke at the National Healthcare 2025 congress.

"I am confident that everyone gathered here is united by the desire to develop and improve the healthcare system, and most importantly, to develop ourselves. The head of state has outlined a key national goal: preserving the population, improving health, enhancing well-being, and supporting families. For the government, this is an absolute priority, touching on the state's core value and its most important socioeconomic resource – the health of the nation," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

She noted that the medical infrastructure continues to be strengthened and developed as part of the national projects "Long and Active Life" and "Family," launched this year. By the end of 2030, 4,000 medical units are planned to be opened and over 45,000 medical devices to be purchased.

"Over 8 million people receive medications from the federal budget. More than 6% of these patients receive medications through mandatory health insurance. 85% of state-procured medications are now domestically produced. This is encouraging, as it ensures not only the quality of medical care but also technological independence. Moreover, the federal budget primarily covers the most expensive cases and situations. Another 18 million citizens receive medications from regional budgets," said Tatyana Golikova.

As part of efforts to protect mothers and children, reproductive health assessments began last year. Nearly 7 million Russians have completed them. In 2025, the rate increased, reaching 6 million people in the first nine months. More than 12,000 women who received treatment became pregnant.

"We continue to develop medical rehabilitation. Last year, more than 1.5 million people received it. This year, we expect 1.8 million. Staffing levels at medical organizations are also improving. Since the beginning of 2025, the number of doctors has increased by 12,000, and the number of nursing staff has increased by 9,000. Second-year residents have joined medical organizations—almost 7,500 people. And that's not the limit," noted Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the Government is also paying special attention to participants in special military operations. Such medical care, she said, must be organized on a priority basis and as quickly as possible.

"The time has come not only to address today's pressing issues but also to look ahead and create the healthcare of the future now. There's not much time left until 2040—just 15 years," she emphasized.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that, given current resources and the growing needs of society, it is important not only to detect diseases as early as possible but also to prevent them. Tools for this are already emerging: genetic testing helps identify predispositions to cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. A combined analysis of medical data, lifestyle, and social factors allows for risk prediction and the development of personalized recommendations on nutrition, physical activity, and preventative treatment.

Today, these tasks are being addressed within the framework of two national projects.

The "Long and Active Life" program, which includes the federal project "Health for Everyone," aims to modernize health centers to promote healthy longevity. Health centers are being refocused on identifying and addressing risk factors for disease development. To this end, this year alone, regions will purchase 247 medical devices for comprehensive assessments of body parameters, organ and system conditions, and disease prevention.

Conditions are also being created to protect health in the workplace. Medical examinations and follow-ups have already begun at enterprises and organizations.

"To make healthy longevity medicine widely accessible, modern medical technologies are needed. The national project 'New Health Preservation Technologies' aims to address these challenges. It continues research into regenerative biomedicine, which began in 2023. Biomarkers and panels are being developed to determine biological age, assess body parameters, and the condition of organs and systems, as well as drugs to prevent cellular aging," noted Tatyana Golikova.

The national project also includes research aimed at combating age-related diseases and their complications, including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.

Within the framework of the Federal Scientific and Technological Program for the Development of Genetic Technologies, research is being conducted in predictive genetics, pharmacogenetics, and nutrigenetics.

"Healthy longevity isn't just about medical measures. It also depends on a healthy environment—the environment, dietary habits, physical activity, cultural development, a healthy lifestyle, and strong social connections. And other national projects are already focusing on this," said Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that on September 29, the regional movement "For Healthy Longevity Medicine" was launched at the Rossiya Segodnya International News Agency. Its goal is to promote and advance healthy longevity medicine and health-preserving technologies among the population, including a culture of healthy longevity.
