The last month of the year was very eventful for the participants of the PoliShkola project.

Young technology leaders from Polytechnic University visited Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The purpose of the internship was to exchange experiences in organizing scientific and educational activities, study best project management practices, and identify promising areas for joint research and projects.

During the meetings, special attention was paid to BMSTU's comprehensive programs for working with faculty and researchers. Colleagues shared their experiences supporting young professionals, including, for example, methodological support for obtaining candidate and doctoral degrees. The polytechnics were also introduced to and invited to join the unified "Practice Showcase" developed by BMSTU as part of the "Priority 2030" program—a platform designed to share best practices among the country's leading universities.

The visit also included a visit to key laboratory and research centers of MSTU:

The Aurora Mobile Platform laboratory, where development work on the domestic operating system is underway, including the creation of secure applications and specialized software. Colleagues showcased student achievements and discussed monetization and market interactions; the Cybersecurity Monitoring Center (SOC), organized according to a full-cycle principle: from educational programs and scientific research to commercial services and expert support for partners. Internship participants noted the effective model of collaboration with an industrial partner and the involvement of students in real-world projects, starting from their junior years; the Polymer Materials Laboratory, which specializes in the creation of new compounds for additive technologies. SPbPU specialists observed the operation of cutting-edge installations in real time and also received expert advice on developing their own developments in membrane water purification; and the Industrial Internet of Things in Digital Manufacturing laboratory, which includes the Flexible Manufacturing Cell—a simulator for acquiring in-demand practical skills in industrial robotics. Colleagues highlighted the operating features of the devices and the details of collaboration with enterprises.

Following the visit, the partners outlined specific areas for further collaboration, including organizing a return visit by representatives from Bauman Moscow State Technical University to the Polytechnic University, sharing best practices in the development of research and teaching staff, and exploring opportunities for joint research projects in cybersecurity, new materials, and robotics.

Participants praised the tour's informative and dynamic nature. The Polytechnic students were particularly impressed by the university campus, with its interesting architectural designs and well-thought-out navigation, high-tech labs, spacious classrooms, and stylish coworking areas.

The PoliSchool program concluded with the final defense of the teams' projects.

The work was evaluated by Alexey Borovkov, Chief Designer of the Scientific and Technological Program "System Digital Engineering," Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Maria Vrublevskaya, Vice-Rector for Human Resources, Oleg Rozhdestvensky, Head of the Office of Technological Leadership, Marina Bolsunovskaya, a representative of the "Artificial Intelligence for Cross-Industry Problem Solving" program, and Oleg Panchenko, a representative of the "Materials, Technologies, and Production" program.

Following the opening remarks by PoliShkola project mentor Maria Vrublevskaya, the presentation session began. For two hours, ten student teams presented the results of their work.

Participants presented projects covering cutting-edge fields of science and technology: medicine and biotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, electronics, and education. Each project had a clearly applied nature and was aimed at solving specific technological or social problems.

The level of sophistication and the promise of the solutions we saw today are directly in line with the spirit of PolySchool—a practical leadership school for young people with initiative. Participants don't just propose ideas; they create working prototypes and consider the logic behind their implementation, noted Maria Vrublevskaya.

Interesting projects reached the PolySchool finals. The students demonstrated their commitment and desire to contribute to achieving the country's technological leadership. Much work remains, especially in terms of creating in-demand products from the solutions and technologies developed. I wish everyone good luck and strength to complete this journey," concluded Oleg Rozhdestvensky.

At the end of the defense, all participants were presented with commemorative gifts.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

RUDN University medical students were the winners and runners-up of the XXXIV Moscow (All-Russian) Student Surgical Olympiad named after Academician M.I. Perelman. At the competition, held in Yaroslavl, participants demonstrated practical surgical skills, theoretical knowledge, and completed complex tasks.

In total, approximately 500 people from 15 teams, aged 19 to 23, competed in the Central Federal District regional stage. They completed over 30 different tasks, including nasal tip reconstruction, brain tumor removal, coronary artery bypass grafting, and a new task: layer-by-layer corneal transplantation.

The RUDN University team included 35 students from two professional student societies: REMEDY (Accreditation and Simulation Center) and RUDN SURGEONS (I.D. Kirpatovsky Department of Operative Surgery and Clinical Anatomy). Teams were formed based on participants' professional competencies, practical skills, and theoretical knowledge. The most experienced and skilled students were selected for the team.

1st place – "Spinal anesthesia"

Elina Abdulova, 5th year, majoring in General Medicine; Daria Tupakhina, 6th year, majoring in General Medicine

2nd place – “Ensuring airway patency, tracheal intubation”

Maxim Balovnev, 5th year, majoring in General Medicine; Evgeniya Zadorozhnaya, 6th year, majoring in General Medicine

2nd place – “Theory in Cardiovascular Surgery and Vascular Surgery”

Gleb Bulgakov, 6th year, majoring in General Medicine; Daria Shelyakova, 4th year, majoring in General Medicine; Konstantin Klimov, 4th year, majoring in General Medicine

2nd place – “Reconstruction of the terminal part of the nose”

Epimakhova Olga, 5th year, majoring in General Medicine Babakova Adelina, 5th year, majoring in General Medicine Davudova Rukidzhat, 5th year, majoring in General Medicine

3rd place – Endobubble

Violetta Udovina, 4th year, majoring in General Medicine; Marina Shtanchaeva, 5th year, majoring in General Medicine

3rd place – Pirogov Anatomy

Matveev Sergey, 6th year, majoring in General Medicine; Epimakhova Olga, 5th year, majoring in General Medicine

Needle selection and dose calculation

According to Elina Abdulova and Daria Tupakhina, only five out of fifteen teams advanced to the "Spinal Anesthesia" competition following the "Airway Management and Tracheal Intubation" competition. Therefore, the women were determined not to let down their colleagues, who made their participation in this challenge possible.

"We entered the competition knowing we wouldn't have another opportunity like this. We knew we had hours of training behind us, daily theory reviews, and our friends and colleagues on the other side of the door, just as nervous as we were. In our view, our key advantage was the way we explained each step, the rationale behind each one, including the choice of needle, anesthetic, and dose calculation, as well as our knowledge of the theoretical aspects of the procedure. The model was realistic, and the passage through all structures and the presence of the spinal canal were objectively assessed based on the fluid level in the IV connected to the model, which rose when the anesthetic was administered," said Elina Abdulova and Daria Tupakhina.

The students' teammates, Maxim Balovnev and Evgeniya Zadorozhnaya, noted the difficulty of the tracheal intubation task due to the unique design of the simulation phantom.

"But thanks to well-organized, coordinated work and a clear strategy, we were able to achieve high results. We took second place out of 11 teams, beating all Moscow universities in the competition," added Maxim Balovnev.

The plan is to know all the topics

The students prepared for the Olympiad very diligently and tried to study and remember the answers to the competition's theoretical questions as much as possible.

"I wanted to provide a comprehensive answer to any question about which treatment strategy to use, I wanted to explain how to manage a patient from start to finish, so I had to read multiple volumes of textbooks and review the clinical guidelines provided by the Olympiad organizers. The questions the experts asked, frankly, weren't difficult, but they wanted to know the nuances that aren't covered in textbooks, so I had to rely on my ingenuity," Gleb Bulgakov said.

The students also strived to demonstrate their practical skills, giving 100%.

"The competition I participated in tested general practical skills in operating endoscopic equipment. Since this is a very specialized field, I had to practice every day on a simulator, which, fortunately, our PSO has," added Violetta Udovina.

"Everything was challenging, but in its own way. As future aesthetic surgeons, we were striving for the perfect image from the very beginning—to make the work look as if we were operating on a living person. The organizers provided a mock-up made of pigskin and a silicone face to simulate the flap transfer. But the main challenge wasn't even the materials. In reality, such an operation is performed in several stages, spaced a month or two apart. For us, everything was done at once, in a single session. At first, it seemed an almost absurd task. But we got used to the process. By the third training session, we were fully immersed and began refining every step: the technique, ensuring everything was anatomically correct, and every suture, ensuring it was not just strong but perfectly neat and aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately, this dual focus—on realism and beauty—won the day," Olga Epimakhova emphasized.

Capable of more

Summing up their participation in the Olympiad, RUDN students noted that there is always room for improvement, and they are confident they are capable of greater achievements. The expectations from the combined efforts of the two PSOs were fully met.

"Firstly, we had strong teams made up of goal-oriented and motivated participants, and secondly, we had the opportunity to communicate and work towards results in an environment where everyone strives to perform at their best. All participants maintained a positive atmosphere conducive to productive collaboration. Our teamwork helped us more than once. For example, in the Pirogov Anatomy competition, Sergey Matveyev and Olga Epimakhova very succinctly complemented each other's answers, regardless of the complexity of the question. The team left the jury in no doubt about their professional competence," noted the RUDN team.

"The M.I. Perelman Surgical Olympiad is the best way to go beyond the textbook. Mind-blowing cases, the thrill of the practical stages, and live feedback from surgeons. I gained tremendous experience and a boost of motivation. It's definitely something every student serious about surgery should experience at least once in their life!" shared Olga Krupina, a fourth-year student in the General Medicine program.

"My first participation in the surgical Olympiad left a powerful, vivid impression: a mixture of adrenaline and emotional control, where every second and every movement mattered. My team defended the university's honor in the Urology section. It was a huge challenge for us, as not everything always goes according to plan. But I'm incredibly proud of our work; I've never felt such a strong motivation to become stronger and more confident. It was amazing to see how theoretical knowledge translates into refined actions under pressure," said Maria Moiseeva, a third-year student majoring in General Medicine.

"This year, we demonstrated ourselves as a close-knit team and tried to give our best, but at the same time, we recognized our shortcomings and realized what we need to improve. We're looking forward to the next Perelman!" added Marina Shtanchaeva, a fifth-year student majoring in General Medicine.

On December 18, participants of the student social and legal project "InfoShield" held a meeting titled "How to Protect Yourself Online" at the "Growth Point" space of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU). The meeting focused on cyberbullying, a serious problem in the modern digital environment.

The meeting was opened by Daria Meleshina, the head of the InfoShield project and a student majoring in Law, who described the project's goals and the format of the event. Oksana Karnaukhova, Deputy Dean for Educational Work at the Faculty of Forensic Expertise and Law in Construction and Transport, Associate Professor, and PhD in Law, then delivered a lecture titled "Cyberbullying: Nature, Consequences, and Responsibility."

The speaker explained in detail what cyberbullying is, its various forms, and why online bullying is particularly dangerous. She noted that, unlike offline conflicts, cyberbullying is systemic, can occur around the clock, and the dissemination of offensive material online occurs instantly and often anonymously.

The expert focused on the legal aspects of the issue, explaining to students administrative and criminal liability for insults, slander, threats, violation of privacy, and the illegal use of a citizen's image. Oksana Karnaukhova emphasized that even "jokes," reposts, and likes can have legal consequences, and the victim's perception of the situation plays a key role in determining the classification of the offense.

The practical part of the event included a mock trial. Participants received a case description and were assigned the roles of prosecutor, defense attorney, expert, and defendant. In this mock trial format, the students analyzed evidence, constructed arguments, and gained firsthand insight into how the judicial system operates and the complexities of protecting digital rights.

In addition, all attendees were able to take an interactive digital literacy test using a Telegram bot, which allowed them to reinforce their acquired knowledge.

The SPbGASU student project "InfoShield" is being implemented with the support of the Rosmolodezh Grants program. Its goal is to improve students' digital and legal literacy and foster responsible and informed behavior in the digital environment.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A meeting with clergy on the topic of "Love, Fidelity, and Family Creation," which is relevant to young people, was held at the State University of Management.

The meeting was opened by Galina Sorokina, Director of the Institute of Economics and Finance at the State University of Management, who noted the importance of preserving traditional family values.

Father Gregory and Father Kirill spoke to the visiting faculty and students about the challenges facing modern society and our country, openly answered questions from the audience, and shared their personal life experiences.

In their speeches, the guests emphasized that one shouldn't fear difficulties on the path to family happiness, because God helps even atheists in good deeds, such as starting a family and having children. The clergy also noted that one shouldn't delay the search for a soulmate, as it's easier for very young people to "get used to" each other, but with age, this becomes almost impossible.

"This meeting reminded us that discussions about love and family aren't boring theory, but a lively and important dialogue. Students and faculty were able to truly listen to each other and the clergy, who touched on topics that resonate with every young person. Father Gregory and Father Kirill shared insights typically reserved for personal advice: why you shouldn't be afraid to start your journey toward family, how important it is to learn to preserve your feelings, and why finding a life partner shouldn't be put off until later. Their answers were sincere, honest, and surprisingly relevant," said Maria Vikulova, a third-year student in the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations.

As a result of the meeting at the State University of Management, the Pestovsky Circle was founded, named in memory of Nikolai Evgrafovich Pestov, an Orthodox philosopher and professor at the Moscow Institute of Engineering and Economics (now the State University of Management). Through this group, students and faculty at the Institute of Engineering and Economics will be able to continue regular communication with clergy on topics of interest to them.
