Priority 2030, SPbPU, Peter the Great Polytechnic University, engineers of the future, engineering training, education and industry alliance, cybersecurity, technological leadership, Russian universities, business-university collaboration, digital transformation, industrial companies, Polytechnic University.

The roundtable was moderated by Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at SPbPU, who noted the event's significant significance: "Today, when the federal educational agenda is changing and interaction with industry is becoming a key development vector, the importance of such meetings is difficult to overestimate. We have the opportunity to openly discuss the challenges we face in our interactions and jointly find solutions. We have made significant progress in building new formats of cooperation with industrial partners, but we are also well aware of how much remains to be done."

The discussion was attended by executives and specialists from companies such as TGC-1 PJSC, the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center – Prometey Central Research Institute of Structural Materials, the Obukhov Plant JSC of the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern, and others. Participants discussed current issues of collaboration between businesses and universities to train a new generation of engineers capable of ensuring the country's technological sovereignty.

Eduard Lisitsky, Deputy Managing Director for Development and Asset Management at PJSC TGC-1, outlined a key need in the energy industry: "Today, we are facing a talent shortage amidst a large-scale digital transformation. The active automation of all processes is radically changing the profile of the required specialist. We need people with IT competencies, not just at the user level, but at the level of creating and managing complex systems. These skills are the new key to the professional effectiveness of our specialists and the competitiveness of our company."

Olga Fomina, First Deputy Director General for Research at the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center – Prometheus Central Research Institute of St. Petersburg Materials and Materials, spoke about the implementation of a systematic approach to personnel training. "Our department at SPbPU is not just a 40-year-old institution, but a living example of successful integration. The established "education-science-industry" chain is proving its effectiveness: it allows students to gain invaluable experience solving real-world problems, ensuring their quick and easy adaptation when applying for a job at our company. Our next shared goal is to strengthen interdisciplinary project work and launch such projects as final qualifying theses," she said.

Kirill Martinson, Advisor to the Director of the Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering at JSC NPO SZRC Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern – Obukhov Plant, commented on the importance of differentiating approaches to engineering training to achieve technological leadership: "A good engineer is not necessarily a scientist, and a good scientist is not necessarily a good engineer. The educational process at a university should include both research and practice-oriented components."

All participants agreed on the need to further strengthen the "alliance of the strong"—a strategic partnership between higher education and the real economy—to address national challenges.

NeoQUEST from Polytech: St. Petersburg Cybersecurity Festival

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The NeoQUEST-2025 cybersecurity event took place in Brusnitsyn Hall. It is organized annually by the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity at SPbPU with the support of partner companies. This year's event was particularly grand.

NeoQUEST traditionally consisted of three stages: an online CTF, a head-to-head contest with a CTF continuation and conference, and a night tournament for the finalists. In 2025, the head-to-head contest took place at Brusnitsyn Hall and attracted over 400 participants, including students and young professionals. In addition to the CTF, in which participants saved St. Petersburg from a mad scientist and solved problems involving OSINT, cryptography, reverse engineering, web, and forensic science, the audience listened to presentations from industry experts and attended master classes.

Polytechnician Yakov Sendov spoke first, explaining how to compile a profile of a specific individual using "harmless" web server logs and public data, and how to formalize the probability of such user deanonymization. Ilya Afanasyev, periodically speaking to the audience via a voice assistant, shared his experience using machine learning in side-channel attacks. Grigory Paguba, in a large master class, administered a polygraph test to those in the audience and explained its basic principles.

I've been participating in NeoQUEST since 2021. It gives me the opportunity to create something new and unusual, offering challenges that are not quite standard in my work. It inspires me to come up with new ideas. For example, at one of the conferences, my colleagues and I came up with the idea of trying to hack a polygraph. But that's certainly difficult, so we decided to hack a polygraph examiner—not a human, of course, but an AI one. The challenge seemed especially interesting given reports that neural networks detect lies better than human experts. Those who participated in our experiment and sat on the polygraph had the opportunity to fool it—with their breathing, movements, and heartbeat. Which is essentially what they did. Together, we came to the conclusion that machine learning is unlikely to replace both the polygraph itself and the profession of polygraph examiner anytime soon, shared long-time NeoQUEST participant and polytechnician Grigory Paguba.

In the second part of the event, independent researcher Nikita Tarakanov dissected Microsoft Windows security. Alexey Lyamkin (VK) explored bug bounty programs, why companies need them, and why they're of interest to security researchers. Anatoly Karpenko (Luntry) described how SBOM containers are built, how vulnerability scanners for Docker images work, and why you shouldn't always trust their results.

Alongside the main program, there were workshops on lockpicking and Wi-Fi, as well as a special workshop from STC. STC also prepared a special CryptoQuest for the audience, with questions about Alan Turing and asymmetric encryption. Prizes were awarded for all activities.

NeoQUEST has been held since 2012. This year, we expanded the venue to attract even more participants. The presentation area focused on trending topics, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in cybersecurity. "We're striving to develop the event so students have the opportunity to directly interact with industry experts," explains Maria Reznikova, one of the event's organizers.

Over the past five years, the scale of NSU's in-house research activities has grown to a level comparable to its educational activities, and science and research are now the university's second core activity. One indicator confirming this is the high publication activity of NSU scientists. Thus, by the end of 2024, more than 1,760 publications had been published in SCOPUS journals, more than 1,300 in Web of Science, and more than 1,970 in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Moreover, the share of publications in the most prestigious and highly ranked scientific journals (Q1 and Q2 SCOPUS) was approximately 60%. The number of citations in SCOPUS reached almost 2,000. Importantly, since 2018, the number of NSU's own publications (without co-authorship with employees of SB RAS research institutes) has increased by 30%, and now they account for approximately 20% of the total number of publications with NSU participation. The inclusion of 13 NSU researchers on the list of the world's most highly cited scientists demonstrates that NSU is working in cutting-edge areas and at a high international level, commented NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.

On September 27, the "After Classes" student association fair was held at NSU's academic building. The event brought together numerous clubs and students, who were able to learn about the university's extracurricular activities and choose the ones that best suit their interests.

The hallways of the second floor of the second block were noisy and lively: student groups presented their projects on interactive platforms, and during breaks, guests were treated to musical flash mobs from the NSU Music Club. Fairgoers socialized, participated in activities, and received souvenirs.

Creative groups generated particular interest. The KvARTira Theatre Studio presented interactive performances.

"We're currently planning several public performances and an expressive poetry reading. We're generally involved in contemporary theater arts: we stage productions based on our own scripts, and during our classes, we offer training in movement, vocals, and acting in general," said studio member Sergei Bobkin.

Another station, the NSU Photo Club, attracted attention with two formats at once: a photo drying station and a photo zone.

"The Photo Club is a place where people who love photography gather. It doesn't matter whether you're using a phone or a professional camera—the desire to improve your skills is paramount. We host photo walks, field trips, and, for beginners, lectures on the basics of photography. At "After Class," anyone can hang their work to dry, appreciate others' photos, or have a portrait taken in our photo zone," shared club member Ksenia Sharova.

Additionally, student associations offered quizzes, pantomime, and even accordion playing. All of this gave first-year students and others the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the NSU student community and discover new hobbies.

"After School" isn't just about getting to know the clubs, it's also an opportunity to discover talents, share ideas, and try new things.
