Dmitry Grigorenko: Industrial competence centers have developed in-demand IT solutions for airports and airlines.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

More than 60 airports and dozens of airlines, including international ones, have implemented Russian software developed within the Industrial Competence Centers. These solutions were among the completed, highly significant projects of the first wave and have replaced several foreign IT systems supporting airport and airline operations. These include a centralized check-in counter management system and a baggage tracing service. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko oversees the work of the Industrial Competence Centers.

Industrial Competence Centers (ICCs) bring together major companies and IT solution developers to ensure the high-quality transition of key industries to domestic software. Air transportation is one of the key sectors that requires an active transition to mature Russian solutions. This is necessary to ensure technological independence and system security, eliminating the possibility of unexpected failures and data leaks.

"The ICC's goal is to ensure import substitution in key industries. Airport maintenance and airline operations are areas where the use of Russian software is critical. Because the safety of our citizens and technological independence depend on it. As part of the ICC, we have already developed solutions that have replaced several foreign systems. These solutions have already been implemented by over 60 airports and over 50 airlines," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The 81 completed projects of the first wave include several systems for supporting air transportation processes. For example, the "BAGS Search" system was implemented at the request of Sheremetyevo International Airport. It is a baggage check-in and search service for all airports and airlines in Russia, enabling them to exchange information in a single digital space. The system expedites the resolution of lost baggage incidents. 24/7 customer support is available. Over 400,000 passengers have already found their baggage using the developed service. The solution has been implemented by 14 airlines, including four foreign air carriers from the CIS countries, as well as 62 airports.

In addition, at Sheremetyevo's request, the CUTE software suite was developed for the centralized management of airport and airline IT infrastructure related to passenger dispatch (check-in counters, boarding gates). This solution replaced the information exchange system from the Swiss provider SITA, known as the "SWIFT of aviation" (Russian airlines were disconnected from it in 2022). More than 28 million passengers have already been checked in for flights using this service. A domestic equivalent has been implemented by 23 Russian airports and one international airport.

Another example of a solution developed within the ICC is an aviation service platform commissioned by PJSC Aeroflot. Its purpose is to maintain the functionality of software that facilitates the exchange of aviation data within Russia and internationally. The created system enables airlines, airports, and government agencies to interact via secure communication channels. The platform guarantees message delivery, even if the sender is outside the network coverage area, validates them, and provides storage and archival retrieval of telegrams. Sixty-three Russian and six foreign airports, as well as over 50 air carriers, 33 of which are international, have connected to the system.

In total, approximately 200 particularly significant projects are currently being implemented in Russia within the framework of the ICC. Most of the first-wave projects will be completed by the end of 2026. The second wave of ICC projects began in May 2025. Forty-nine projects were selected and supported within this wave, 17 of which received grant funding totaling 3.2 billion rubles. Completion of the majority of the second-wave projects is scheduled for the end of 2027.

What RUDN University students learned during the Summer School on International Environmental Law

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The RUDN University Law Institute, in collaboration with one of Indonesia's leading universities, the University of Brawijaya, held a Summer School on International Environmental Law. This large-scale project brought together over 100 students, young researchers, and faculty from 30 countries, including China, India, and Malaysia.

One of the school's events was the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Russian Ecological Society: Defending the Future." Representatives of the Russian Ecological Society, the National Center for Ecological Reform Competence, and the Center for Ecological Reform Competence, RUDN University professors, and international experts presented their papers. Following the conference, a collection of papers will be published, which will significantly contribute to the development of international scientific cooperation in the field of ecology and sustainable development.

"In my presentation, I wanted to convey the idea that the intensive international negotiations on combating plastic pollution, which have been ongoing for three years, demonstrate the complexity of the quest for sustainable development, the importance of simultaneously preserving the environment, addressing the social concerns of workers involved in these processes, and considering the economic interests of states and companies. Water wears away a stone, as they say. Scientists in Russia and Indonesia are demonstrating consensus and drawing the attention of states to the same global problems that require immediate solutions. Science has always had and will continue to have a significant influence on the environmental policies of their countries," said Alexander Solntsev, Associate Professor of the Department of International Law at the Law Institute of RUDN University.

From theory to practice

As for the students, they gained knowledge on a wide range of issues during the Summer School:

On the contribution of UN bodies to the concept of sustainable development; on the law of climate change; on corporate social responsibility and "green" finance, as well as corporate impact on the rights of indigenous peoples; on the legal basis for the protection of Lake Baikal; on access to justice in environmental disputes and legal protection of the environment in the Arctic; on the role of China in global environmental governance and the legal aspects of "green" investments in Hunan Province; on marine environmental security and the "blue economy".

"The topic of protecting the rights of indigenous peoples resonated with me the most. It's because it directly relates to me, as I'm a Buryat—an indigenous people of Eastern Siberia and the Baikal region. It was helpful to see how these issues are discussed in international law and what examples exist in other countries," says Dimid Milgadayeva, a third-year undergraduate student in International Law at RUDN University.

"From the school's lectures and seminars, I remember a case about how local residents protested against the construction of a large hydroelectric power station. We discussed their rights and how international law could protect them. I used to think that such issues were resolved simply through protests or not at all. But it turns out that people have real legal tools, such as environmental impact assessments and national and international courts. And that they can work. I hadn't really found environmental law interesting before, but now I'm thinking about pursuing a master's degree in this field," says Aurelia Anna Louise Belluan, a second-year undergraduate student in International Law at the RUDN University Law Institute.

By the way, the first stage of the school took place in Moscow, and the second in Indonesia.

"While the Moscow program focused more on theoretical aspects and consisted of lectures by leading experts, discussions, and project work, in Indonesia, the students were immersed in the local context and had more practical experience: they participated in off-site seminars and analyzed real environmental cases. Thus, the topics of the first stage of the school were further developed: from theory in Moscow to practical application in Malang," said Asiyat Ibragimova, International Affairs Specialist at the RUDN Law Institute.

Joint projects

RUDN University students and students at an Indonesian university were interested in comparing the differences in environmental legislation between the two countries.

"For example, we have a greater emphasis on sustainable development and community rights, while in Russia, more attention is paid to industry. But overall, due to globalization, approaches are merging and gradually becoming universal across all countries," says Mikail Muhamad, a fourth-year student at the University of Brawijaya from Indonesia.

According to Veronika Dolganova, a fourth-year bachelor's student at the RUDN University Law Institute (Jurisprudence program), she greatly appreciates the opportunity to work in a multinational team during the Summer School.

"The ability to listen to different points of view, seek compromises, and find common ground even when legal systems and cultural approaches differ. This skill, in my opinion, is essential for every lawyer planning an international career," says Veronika Dolganova.

"This was my first time interacting with someone from Indonesia; I knew practically nothing about the country, its culture, or its laws. It was very interesting to hear how people from other countries approach the environment and environmental issues like global warming, pollution, and resource depletion. In our country, these issues are often perceived as secondary, but they spoke about them as part of everyday life. After such conversations, you begin to see these topics more broadly, not just as laws but as things that actually impact people," said Elizaveta Statsevich, a third-year undergraduate student in International Law at RUDN University.

During the discussions, the students came up with ideas for joint projects between students and their universities. For example, the Summer School participants decided to prepare an article comparing the environmental legislation of their countries.

"During the school, we also discussed the idea of joint educational modules that could be developed by several universities from Russia and Asia. I think this could really be implemented. For example, a course on international environmental law with faculty from different countries," says Anugrah Muhammad, a fourth-year student at the University of Brawijaya from Indonesia.

RUDN University's cooperation with foreign universities

RUDN University and the Indonesian University of Brawijaya have enjoyed a long-standing partnership: a cooperation agreement is in place and a collaborative work program is being implemented. Furthermore, a specialized class from our university has opened at the university. The parties plan to further develop their partnership. Negotiations are currently underway to continue student exchange and academic mobility programs, and the possibility of expanding the scope of joint schools and seminars is also being discussed. Furthermore, RUDN University has agreed with its Chinese partners, who participated in the Summer School on International Environmental Law, to launch a winter internship for our students.

The internship will take place in two law firms: Yingqi Law Firm and Solicitors

In addition, the parties agreed to hold a Winter School for students on international law in China.

Among the guests were Vladimir Bobrovich, Director of Strategic Development, Scientific, and Information Support; Daniil Shilov, Deputy Director of the Center and Head of the Chief Designers' Department; Vladimir Piskunov, Chief Designer and Laboratory Head (both Polytechnic University graduates); and Alexander Smolnikov, Head of Department.

The concern's representatives were met by SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova, Director of the Center for Scientific and Technological Partnership and Targeted Training Oleg Ipatov, and Head of the Department for Support of Scientific Projects and Programs Natalia Leontyeva.

Following negotiations and discussions of prospects for cooperation, SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy and Konstantin Shilov, CEO of the Aurora Research and Production Association, signed a strategic partnership agreement.

The goal of this collaboration is to ensure high-quality professional training for university graduates and young qualified personnel, improve the effectiveness of joint fundamental and applied scientific research, and participate in addressing pressing socio-economic issues in St. Petersburg, the Leningrad Region, and other regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in neighboring and distant countries.

The history of business relations between SPbPU and NPO Aurora spans over fifteen years. In 2009, the SPbPU Department of Marine Information and Control Systems was established within the joint-stock company, headed by the company's CEO, Doctor of Engineering Sciences Konstantin Shilov. The department's activities have now been brought into line with current changes and the demands of the times, and it is entering a new phase of development. as part of the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity.

The concern is interested in expanding scientific and educational cooperation with the Polytechnic University and training specialists with expertise in high-tech manufacturing. The agreement provides for the creation of conditions for the training, retraining, and advanced training of employees of the concern and its strategic partners, master's and postgraduate studies at SPbPU, and the training of highly qualified personnel in accordance with international standards and recommendations, leading to the award of relevant certificates and diplomas.

The partners also intend to develop joint activities in the areas of relevant scientific, technical, educational, innovative, investment, industrial, socio-economic, and consulting projects and programs in St. Petersburg and other regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in neighboring and distant countries.

It is planned to jointly conduct scientific, educational, research, innovation, experimental design and other work in priority and promising areas of development of science, technology and engineering, including the development, promotion and implementation of advanced devices, materials, equipment, control systems and methods, modern information systems and technologies.

It is also planned to implement scientific and technical programs aimed at creating science-intensive technologies and competitive products, including through the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, as part of federal and regional targeted innovation projects, innovative development programs, and technology platforms.

Expert councils will collectively manage the quality of targeted specialist training at the university, conduct career guidance, and competitive selection of talented young people in priority and promising areas for the concern and its strategic partners.

The partners intend to develop the infrastructure for scientific and educational activities, conduct targeted professional training for senior undergraduate and graduate students commissioned by Aurora Scientific and Production Association in core and additional educational programs, retrain and improve the qualifications of the concern's specialists and the Polytechnic University's faculty, engage the concern's specialists in teaching, and collaborate in the field of science.

To gain a more complete understanding of the Polytechnic University's capabilities and potential, the guests visited laboratories and centers dedicated to additive manufacturing. Pavel Novikov, Director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Mechanical Engineering Technologies and Materials, showed the concern's representatives the selective laser melting and additive arc melting (WAAM) section, presented friction stir welding (FSW) manufacturing technology, and discussed direct laser deposition technology and the possibilities for repairing and restoring industrial components using laser gas-powder cladding.

The guests also visited the SPbPU Center for Technological Projects and learned about the Polytechnic University's developments in the field of unmanned boats.

"For us, the Polytechnic University is, first and foremost, a training ground for talent—that's clear to everyone," Konstantin Shilov, CEO of NPO Aurora, concluded the meeting. "We employ university graduates. Today, I was joined by graduates who have already become managers and chief designers. And, of course, it's crucial for me to see new technologies. I won't hide the fact that I'm enriched with knowledge after the tour. I can see now that the university has made significant progress in new metalworking technologies and additive manufacturing, and this is very similar to what NPO Aurora does. True, we primarily produce high-volume items, but we periodically need to create unique products and prototypes, and here I'm confident we'll find common ground with the university."

The Aurora Scientific and Production Association was established on March 18, 1970, by order of the USSR Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry. As the range of work performed and products manufactured expanded, the company's organizational structure changed, and in 2009, in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated March 21, 2007, a new structure was created, the parent company of which became JSC Concern NPO Aurora.

The main activities of the concern:
