A meeting of the Council of Vice-Rectors for Youth Policy and Educational Activities of Universities of the Novosibirsk Region was held at NSU on March 18. The meeting discussed current issues of volunteer work, military-patriotic education, and the development of youth entrepreneurship.

In his welcoming address, NSU Rector and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Pyshny noted that youth policy has recently become increasingly important, acquiring national significance. Vice-rectors for youth policy and educational activities are at the forefront of student engagement. Universities in the Novosibirsk region have accumulated extensive experience in this area.

"You are now becoming not only the organizers of the educational process, but also the force that determines youth engagement policy. For this work to be effective, it's important to view young people not as objects of influence, but as full partners, engaging the active student body in your work. It will be much easier for them to work with their peers than for older generations, because they understand what we might not expect, and they are the ones who will be able to find the right words and the right approaches to their peers," Dmitry Pyshny told the vice-rectors.

Svetlana Korolkova, Deputy Head of the Youth Policy Department of the Novosibirsk Region (NSO), spoke to those present about current youth policy challenges. She explained how volunteer and volunteer activity is analyzed on the platform. Dobro.rfCurrently, 17 Novosibirsk region universities are registered on the platform. Their activity on the platform is assessed based on three key indicators: the number of events organized, the number of volunteers involved, and the number of hours volunteered. Svetlana Korolkova noted that the platform is currently imperfect, as it does not allow for a comprehensive analysis of university activities in this area, and assessing only three key indicators is insufficient.

She also emphasized that achieving high results in the development of volunteer and volunteer activities by universities is difficult without building effective channels: no matter how active the volunteer corps is, achieving high efficiency without the participation of department heads is problematic.

Svetlana Korolkova proposed that the vice-rectors focus their efforts on developing student tourism. The first introductory webinar was held in March of this year, attended by nine universities in the Novosibirsk region. It was noted that the strongest tourism clubs are organized at Novosibirsk State University and Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University. A proposal was made to organize an inter-university event as part of this effort. The next webinar will take place in the coming days. The information presented during this training session will help those interested in starting a student tourism club from scratch.

In her speech, Svetlana Korolkova mentioned the large-scale project "Yunost.art Art Residency," which received support from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) as part of the national project "Youth and Children." It was made possible by the region's victory in the All-Russian competition for comprehensive youth policy development programs, "Region for the Young." This offsite event will be held from April 18 to 22 at the Oleg Koshevoy Educational Park. Young people aged 18 to 35 are welcome to participate. The program will cover several areas: theater, music, fine arts, architecture, photography, video, and art management. The best projects emerging from this session will receive comprehensive resource support for their further implementation. Applications will be accepted until April 5, and NSU students are invited to participate in this creative event.

Tatyana Lukina, Vice Rector for Youth Policy and Educational Work at Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, discussed tools for developing volunteerism at a higher education institution. She believes that successful development of the volunteer movement at the university requires creating a supportive environment where everyone feels part of a team. This can be achieved by holding events that foster connections between volunteers and create a comfortable working atmosphere. It's crucial to establish a clear organizational structure and formulate clear rules. It's crucial to provide volunteers with a variety of job openings and opportunities so they can choose a direction that matches their interests and skills. Young people should also be provided with opportunities to participate in regional and national projects and build a system of support and recognition. Developing leadership and initiative also contributes to the effectiveness of this work.

Elena Vovk, Vice Rector for Youth Policy at the Siberian University of Consumer Cooperatives, shared her experience organizing a military-patriotic club. The "Bars" military-patriotic club opened at the university last November, but its cadets have achieved remarkable results in such a short time thanks to their participation in a number of military-patriotic and military-sports events at both the city and interuniversity levels.

"The club's main focus is law enforcement. This is not surprising, as our university's law faculty is the largest, and the largest number of students are enrolled in the Law Enforcement program," said Elena Vovk.

Vyacheslav Gorchakov, curator of the federal youth entrepreneurship development program "I'm in Business" in the Novosibirsk Region, spoke about the implementation of the federal youth entrepreneurship development program at Novosibirsk universities. This program aims to create and nurture a new generation of leaders, mentors, and individuals who will create projects and develop businesses within the region.

"Seventy-two regions of the Russian Federation are participating in the program, with the Novosibirsk Region being a key one. The importance of our large-scale project is demonstrated by the fact that 47% of young people under 25 want to become entrepreneurs, but only 27% positively assess the opportunities for self-fulfillment in their region," explained Vyacheslav Gorchakov.

He also discussed the program's implementation logic, key events, and educational tracks for Season 9, which includes a four-week module for project team mentors, an educational entrepreneurship game at universities, an eight-week training module within the federal "I'm in Business" program, and other activities aimed at developing entrepreneurial skills and creating successful commercial projects.

Vice-Rector for youth policy and educational work of NSU Olga Yakovleva invited the International Friendship Clubs of Novosibirsk universities to participate in the annual International Youth Forum "Interweek," which will be held at NSU in late April 2026.

"The forum's events, held during the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, are aimed at fostering youth in the spirit of interethnic friendship, as well as fostering dialogue and mutual understanding. Possible formats for participation include organizing an interactive platform in the tent city and participating in the concert program on the International Arbat, as well as university sports teams participating in the InterGames Student Sports Festival," explained Olga Yakovleva.

Employees Center for Artificial Intelligence of Novosibirsk State University (CAI NSU) Received a state registration certificate for a mathematical model of a heating network designed to analyze and optimize the operation of heating systems. The new tool will enable more accurate predictions of emergency situations in infrastructure operation, reduce energy losses, and improve the efficiency of utility system management.

The development is a so-called model heating network—a digital object that can be used to test various calculation and control algorithms without risking real-world assets. This model is not tied to a specific city, but reproduces the key characteristics of real-world heating systems.

"This is a kind of virtual testing ground where we test various approaches to calculating and analyzing heating networks. It allows us to study processes that are difficult or expensive to investigate in real-world conditions, as well as conduct initial testing of the solutions our developers are developing," explained Alexander Dekterev, head of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS and senior researcher at the NSU Center for Innovative Research.

Furthermore, using this model network, scientists create extensive databases reflecting the system's behavior under various scenarios—from changing weather conditions or network loads to various emergency situations. This data is then used to train neural networks, which can then quickly predict the state of the heating network and offer optimal solutions to operators.

"As we know, before using a neural network on real utility infrastructure facilities, where it can quickly assess how the system is changing and the consequences of such changes for both the heat supplier and the consumer, it needs to be trained. Our model network is well suited to this task, as it has sufficient databases of both normal operating conditions and emergency scenarios," Dekterev noted.

We previously reported that the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center, in collaboration with the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Department of Energy and Water Supply," is implementing a project to digitalize the heating system in the Sovetsky District of Novosibirsk. As part of this project, a digital model of a specific network section is being created (Figure 2), which will enable real-time monitoring of operating parameters, leak detection, and prediction of potential accidents.

Such solutions are particularly in demand in the housing and utilities sector, where deteriorating infrastructure is coupled with the need for uninterrupted supply to consumers. The use of digital models and artificial intelligence algorithms allows not only for faster response to emergency situations but also for proactive prevention, reducing repair and maintenance costs.

The patent awarded marks an important milestone in the NSU Center for Information Technologies' work in this area: the creation of a universal model for developing methods for analyzing and managing utility infrastructure. The next step will be the development of digital twins for specific heating networks, taking into account their individual characteristics.

According to the developers, in addition to the joint project with FSUE UEV, a similar project is expected to launch this year with the participation of the Novosibirsk mayor's office. The technology could potentially be scaled up to other cities. This will improve the reliability of heat supply, reduce energy losses, and make urban infrastructure management more efficient.

On March 22, a team of young architects, designers, builders, and urbanists, led by Alexandra Polyanskaya, a graduate of the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU), won the Grand Prix for their "Lighthouses of the Water Area" project in the final of the eleventh RBC Petersburg architectural and urban planning foresight competition.

In 2025, over 100 senior students participated in the project. They worked in interdisciplinary teams, led by experienced curators, developing innovative projects on the theme "St. Petersburg in the 2030s: Creating a Project for the Future. Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities in St. Petersburg Architecture and Urbanism."

The winning team presented their project, "Lighthouses of the Water Area," proposing the creation of a system of "lighthouses"—water-based functional centers for St. Petersburg that would unite transportation, public spaces, and architectural landmarks. The project proposes transforming water into the main connecting point between the city's districts. It centers on seven key points along the Neva Bay, connected by year-round express routes. The transportation model is adapted to the reality of St. Petersburg: high-speed boats and water buses in the summer, and hovercraft in the winter.

The project's authors have chosen the industrial zone of the Krasnoselsky District near the Baltiets Yacht Club as a pilot site. Instead of demolishing the old workshops, they propose renovating them. "The outdated industrial buildings will receive modern 'water' façades, inspired by waves and cliffs, and will become part of the new urban environment. A new-style water terminal will be built here, with amphitheaters overlooking the water, recreation areas and cafes, a technology park, a sports and business center with a sailing school that will be a logical extension of the existing yacht club, a public embankment with beaches and pools with purified water, as well as a hotel and a park with interactive water areas," the project description states.

According to the authors, the project proposes viewing the water area not as a boundary between districts, but as the main thoroughfare of the future, capable of relieving traffic congestion and creating new points of attraction in the city.

The winning team consists of:

Captain – Alexandra Polyanskaya, graduate of SPbGASU (architectural environmental design); Danil Bychkov, Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, student; Polina Sutyrina, SPbGASU, student (architectural environmental design); Ekaterina Gordeychik, Baikal State University, student; Dmitry Shipitsyn, HSE University, student; Daria Vasina, SPbGASU, student (construction); Veronika Korzh, Saint Petersburg State Stieglitz Academy of Art and Design, student; Emilia Gubarevich, Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, student.

The team's curator was Vladimir Linov, Honored Architect of Russia and graduate of the Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute (now St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering).

Congratulations to the winners and we are proud of our students and graduates!

The "Lighthouses of the Water Area" project is a new system of functional centers in St. Petersburg.

Ekaterina Ryabizo and Anna Maksimova, specialists from the Higher School of Public Administration, invited students to try their hand at urban planning supervision. Teams developed concepts for urban facilities, determined their locations, and substantiated their compliance with regulatory requirements, presenting their findings in the form of a "facility passport."

Vadim Shabunin, a Master's student at the Higher School of Business Engineering, led a master's class, "What is Business Analytics." He introduced ISPO students to the fundamentals of business analysis. The master class served as a first step toward a career as an analyst. The students learned about the key responsibilities of a business analyst, their interaction with artificial intelligence, and tried their hand at modeling business processes.

Another interactive format was the economic game "The Economy of Goodness in Action," led by first-year students majoring in Economics at the Higher School of Engineering and Economics, Daniil Velichko and Yegor Skidanenko. They presented their own quiz. "Economic Problem" and "Guess the First Time" allowed ISPO students to demonstrate not only their professional competencies but also their resourcefulness, sense of humor, and teamwork skills.

"It's important for us not only to share information about the programs offered at the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Technology, but also to provide ISPO students with the opportunity to explore various professional roles. This format helps them better understand their future specialty, recognize its practical significance, and make an informed choice of educational path," noted Maxim Ivanov, Deputy Director for Advanced Projects and Youth Policy at the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Technology.

The IPMEiT Day at ISPO was held in an interactive format and friendly atmosphere, allowing students not only to broaden their understanding of future educational opportunities at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University but also to gain first-hand experience in a variety of fields—from public administration to business analytics and logistics.

ISPO students were able to try themselves in a variety of professional roles. "We strive to ensure that every day spent at the university brings students closer to their future careers," noted Irina Zaychenko, Head of the Educational Programs Directorate.
