The International School of Quantum Technologies ISQT was held in Moscow, bringing together 30 of the best students from all over Russia. Among the participants were Ksenia Kozlenko and Ekaterina Kozlova, first-year master's students Physics Department of NSUThey passed a competitive selection and presented poster reports, presenting their own research in the field of quantum physics.

— The selection was based on the CV, motivation letter, and recommendation letter. The scientific supervisor told me about the school. I applied and was included in the list of participants. I was very worried, but it turned out I was in vain. The atmosphere was warm and truly student-like. The poster session was not a formal defense before the committee — you could freely communicate, share experiences, ask questions, and listen to others. This was the first conference where I really wanted to stay and talk to everyone, — says Ksenia Kozlenko.

The topic of her speech was the development of a quantum computer on neutral atoms. This architecture is currently being actively developed in the USA, but remains technically complex.

— My task is to model logical operations in the context of quantum computing and find out whether it is possible to simplify the system without losing accuracy. After school, I understood more clearly in what direction to develop, and even found answers to some questions about work. And I also met guys who are truly inspiring — everyone was passionate about their topic and sincerely wanted to share knowledge. This impressed me the most, — Ksenia explains.

Ekaterina Kozlova presented a study on the Hanle effect in the ground state of alkali metal atoms and its application in quantum magnetometry.

— Based on this effect, it is possible to develop miniature and very sensitive magnetometers. They can be used in medicine (for example, for magnetoencephalography), in geophysics, in navigation, for creating magnetic maps, in space and fundamental science. That is, this is not just “theory for the sake of theory”, but a completely practical direction, and I am glad that I was able to present it at such a level, — explains Ekaterina.

One of the most memorable moments for her was a visit to the RCC laboratory, where they work with SQUIDs – superconducting quantum interference sensors.

— These sensors are the main competitors of optically pumped magnetometers, which we make in our lab. It was useful to compare approaches and equipment. We even held a SQUID in our hands and saw how it works — this gave me even more understanding of my topic, — Ekaterina shares.

The students call the poster presentation format particularly valuable.

“It’s like a regular report, only in a live format – communication takes place right next to the poster, you can immediately discuss the nuances, argue, get feedback, and you can also go and see what others are doing and get inspired,” says Ekaterina.

Now the girls continue to work on their research and are preparing to present new results at the upcoming conference – "Nevskaya Photonics".

Congratulations to the girls and we wish them success!

In August 2025, the II International Forum of Russia-Africa Cooperation "Education. Business. Culture – 2025" will be held as part of the XII International Forum "Technoprom-2025". The event is organized by the Center for Public Diplomacy, NSU and the Consortium of Russian Universities for the Development of Cooperation with African Countries.

An impressive delegation from African countries plans to take part in the forum:

— Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Russian Federation of the following countries: Republic of Mali, Republic of Chad, Republic of Guinea, Burkina Faso, Republic of Niger, Rwanda, Namibia, Angola and Ghana.

— Ministers of Education of the Republic of Chad, the Republic of Guinea and Burkina Faso, Ministers of Industry, Digitalization and Agriculture of Burkina Faso.

— The Presidents of the Academies of Sciences of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, the Rectors of the Abdou Moumouni University and the University of Agadez (both from the Republic of Niger).

— Heads of the national oil companies of Burkina Faso and Niger.

— Mayor of the city of Ouagadougou (the capital of Burkina Faso).

Let us recall that the first forum "Russia-Africa" was held last year on the initiative of NSU and the Center for Public Diplomacy. One of the results was the creation of a Consortium of Russian Universities for the development of cooperation with African countries.

This year, the Consortium members will analyze the current interaction of Russian universities with African countries, discuss the challenges and obstacles that hinder mutually beneficial cooperation, identify key areas and formulate a roadmap (work plan) for the Consortium for the next year. The roadmap will be based on a systemic approach that ensures the consolidation of efforts by Russian universities and the unification of actions at all levels – from government agencies to the universities themselves. The implementation of the proposed measures will improve the quality of education and improve the culture of mutual understanding between the regions. The implementation of these initiatives will strengthen Russia's position on the African continent and will become the basis for the further development of bilateral relations.

The Forum also plans to discuss joint work in the areas of school and secondary specialized education. The Center for Public Diplomacy and NSU plan to hold talks with the Minister of Secondary Education, Vocational and Technical Training of Burkina Faso Boubacar Sawadogo on the possibilities of cooperation and to develop an algorithm for joint actions.

The following are promising educational projects in African countries:

— The “Russian Teacher Abroad” program, within the framework of which students from the pilot international class of the African school will study the Russian language.

— A program for training foreign students in working specialties under joint educational programs of African and Novosibirsk colleges. Those who successfully complete the training will be able to continue their studies at Novosibirsk universities. The pilot project includes colleges implementing training in agricultural, technical and natural science areas.

— The African continent is a priority region for the export of Russian education. Since 2024, NSU has been actively developing cooperation with African countries. In this context, agreements were signed with Thomas Sankara University (Burkina Faso) and Abdou Moumouni University (Niger). From December 2024 to July 2025, a preparatory department in the medical and biological profile operated jointly with the Russian House in Niger, in which 24 people studied. From March to the end of July 2025, online courses in the Russian language were opened at Thomas Sankara University, which were completed by 50 bachelors and masters. The next stage will be the organization of preparatory courses in the medical and biological profile, after which students will be able to continue their studies at NSU. The University also plans to organize scientific internships for young scientists and graduate students from Burkina Faso for 3-6 months, said Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU.

Another interesting project is the preliminary agreement reached between NSU and the University of Saint Dominic (USDAO) from Burkina Faso on joint training of medical personnel for this West African state. The cooperation agreement between the universities may be signed this summer.

Working meeting of Vitaly Savelyev with the head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov

For many years of fruitful cooperation and significant contribution to strengthening the socio-economic potential of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov awarded Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev with the Order of Friendship ("Duslyk").

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the significant dynamics of the main economic indicators of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2024, as well as the systematic development of the transport complex of the subject.

The total number of passengers served at all airports of the republic in 2024 amounted to more than 6 million people (Kazan International Airport – 5.3 million, other airports – 0.7 million).

In 2024, 8.7 million passengers were transported by rail. The volume of transported cargo in 2024 remained generally at the 2023 level and amounted to 16.4 million tons.

As part of the program for the development of unmanned cargo transport, 18 unmanned KamAZ trucks are being used on the M-11 and Central Ring Road highways.

In turn, in the territory of Innopolis, as part of the development of unmanned transport technologies, an experimental legal regime is in effect for Yandex unmanned taxis.

"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the President of Russia and the Federal Government for their systematic support of our initiatives. Tatarstan is a region with unique tourism and transport-logistics potential, and its development requires comprehensive infrastructure development. We pay special attention to air traffic: the modernization of the Kazan airport, including the construction of a new terminal, will not only increase capacity, but will also give impetus to the economy and tourism development. Water transport is no less important. The length of Tatarstan's inland waterways exceeds 1,000 km. The main rivers – the Volga, Kama and Vyatka – have the status of water bodies of federal significance. We are implementing projects to update the fleet, including the construction of modern high-speed passenger hydrofoils "Meteor-2020". This will create a modern, efficient transport system that meets the challenges of the time," said Rustam Minnikhanov.

"The Republic of Tatarstan has traditionally been one of the leaders in the development of transport infrastructure in the country. The regional leadership and personally Rustam Minnikhanov are consistently working in this direction. According to the results of 2024, growth is observed in all main areas: air transportation, rail transportation, and water transportation. Today, we visited the Kazan Aviation Plant named after Gorbunov, a strategic enterprise for the aviation industry, which produces and maintains the Tu-214 airliner. A number of airlines are interested in purchasing this aircraft. It is important to note that Tatarstan enterprises are participating in the implementation of transport megaprojects. For the construction of the Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed highway, Natsproektstroy will purchase more than 400 units of special equipment from KAMAZ," said Vitaly Savelyev.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia continues to work on implementing the decisions taken at the strategic session on the development of the creative economy in the Government of the Russian Federation. One of the key documents will be the Strategy for the Development of the Creative Economy until 2036. It will be based, among other things, on the opinions and practices of the business community. For this purpose, the Center for Strategic Research is conducting a business survey.

Representatives of companies, industry associations, public and expert organizations, as well as individual entrepreneurs and the self-employed can take part in the survey. The best regional practices for developing the creative economy will also be analyzed.

An open dialogue with business is a key part of preparing a strategy, says Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

"Systematic work on developing the creative economy is already underway. In 2024, a federal law on the development of creative industries was adopted, and since 2025, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has been officially vested with the functions of a regulator in this area. Developing a long-term strategy is the next logical step. Already during the strategic session, we received proposals from State Duma deputies, specialized associations and experts. But the key part of this work is an open dialogue with businesses and the professional community. The survey conducted by the Center for Strategic Research is one of the most important feedback tools. Its results will form the basis for decisions and mechanisms aimed at creating conditions for the sustainable growth of creative industries in Russia," Tatyana Ilyushnikova emphasized.

To take into account proposals and initiatives onsurvey page It is necessary to fill out a questionnaire and describe the project in detail, including its uniqueness, innovativeness and potential impact on the development of the industry. Information on possible economic effects and social significance will be of particular value. The questionnaire also includes an indication of current/required support measures (tax incentives, subsidies, grant support, educational programs, etc.).

Upon completion of the survey, CSR specialists will collect, summarize and submit proposals to the Russian Ministry of Economic Development for work on the text of the strategy.

Maxim Reshetnikov: Investments in SEZ reached 2.7 trillion rubles over 20 years

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) – Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On Wednesday, July 23, the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Maxim Reshetnikov, presented the main results of the work of special economic zones (SEZ) over the 20 years since the mechanism was created at a meeting of the President with members of the Government.

“Exactly 20 years ago, on your instructions, a law was adopted on Special Economic Zones to create new growth points in the regions and stimulate investment,” the minister noted, addressing the head of state.

Since the mechanism was launched, 59 SEZs have been created in Russia. More than 1,300 resident companies have invested 2.7 trillion rubles and created 110 thousand jobs. Today, the zones are developing in various sectors – from industry, science and logistics to tourism.

"Special economic zones respond to key business needs. It is within the framework of SEZs that production facilities are launched that ensure technological sovereignty and replace imports," emphasized Maxim Reshetnikov.

The development of SEZs has accelerated especially in the last five years. Since 2020, more than half of the zones operating today — 34 — have been created. The influx of residents during this period was a record — 561 companies. Recent examples include the production of trailers in Tatarstan, medical furniture in the Tula region, pet food in the Lipetsk region, air filters and polymer products in the Novgorod region.

The head of the department separately noted the contribution of SEZs to the development of regional economies. The zones become drivers of diversification and create highly skilled jobs. According to the Ministry of Economic Development, the level of wages at resident enterprises is often 30-50% higher than the regional average.

In 2025, six new economic zones were created in Russia, and five more were expanded. Among the new ones are a tourist zone in Kuzbass, a machine-building cluster in the Chelyabinsk region, and an industrial and logistics hub in the Novosibirsk region. Applications for opening new sites are being developed, including a tourist SEZ in Mineralnye Vody.

According to the minister, the effectiveness of the mechanism is also confirmed from the point of view of the return of state investments: "The costs of benefits and the creation of infrastructure are recouped by the growth of the tax base. As of today, the budgetary effect from the work of the SEZ has exceeded 122 billion rubles," the head of the Ministry of Economic Development reported.

During his speech, the minister outlined further priorities for the development of the mechanism. Among them are the simplification of procedures for investors, the integration of infrastructure support measures, the expansion of tourism formats, and the active attraction of foreign companies. Today, more than 100 foreign investors from 34 countries work in Russian SEZs.

"The Institute of Special Economic Zones has become an effective mechanism for the country's economic development. This is the result of the work of regional teams, constant improvement of legislation and, of course, your support," Maxim Reshetnikov noted in conclusion, addressing the President.
