The Higher School of Industrial Management of IPMEiT became an active participant in an important industry event — the conference and exhibition "Technological Sovereignty and Import Substitution: New Energy Technologies". Three Polytechnic students passed the competitive selection and took part in the youth session "Behind the Scenes of the Energy Future: New Competencies for New Technologies".

Leading experts, government and business representatives gathered in St. Petersburg to address strategically important issues of ensuring Russia's technological sovereignty in the fuel and energy complex. The youth session became one of the key discussion platforms. It was devoted to current issues of training personnel for the energy sector of the future in the context of import substitution, digitalization and energy transition.

The session also raised issues that determine the development trajectory of the industry and education – what skills and level of specialization will be in demand, how AI will change the energy industry and professions in it, where it is most effective to train personnel for an energy breakthrough: in universities, in production or in startups.

Three students of the Higher School of Management and Management, Diana Yakimenko (4th year of the Business Administration program), Yana Mayevskaya (3rd year of the Oil and Gas Enterprise Management program), and Ilya Ushpik (1st year of the Master's program Oil and Gas Complex Management), accompanied by Associate Professor Anna Timofeeva, became active participants in the discussion.

Diana Yakimenko, addressing the Director of the Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Alexey Zhikharev, touched upon the strategic topic of training personnel for renewable energy sources.

Ilya Ushpik raised a problem that is relevant for all fuel and energy companies: how to train managers who are capable of understanding complex technological and business processes.

Yana Mayevskaya, asking a question to the session moderator, director of work with key partners of the ANO Institute of Oil and Gas Technological Initiatives, professor of the Higher School of Management and Management Alexey Fadeev, focused on specific competencies and mechanisms for involving young people.

Session moderator Alexey Fadeyev noted the high level of student involvement: It is precisely such deep, problem-oriented questions from young people, like those voiced today by our Polytechnic students, that demonstrate a real understanding of the industry's challenges. These are not abstract discussions, but a request for specific solutions for technological sovereignty. Seeing such preparation and interest is the best guarantee that Russia's energy sector will receive a worthy replacement of managers and engineers.

Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management Olga Kalinina emphasized the importance of the topics raised at the session and their compliance with the profile of the school's industry programs: The youth session of the conference touched upon the key area of modern energy – the personnel of the future. Issues of cross-disciplinarity, management of technological changes, digital transformation, development of critical competencies in the context of import substitution – these are precisely the challenges that educational programs in management in the fuel and energy complex are aimed at solving, what we teach our students.

At the Baikonur Cosmodrome, specialists from Roscosmos state corporation enterprises launched the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the logo of the tenth, anniversary Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held September 3–6 in Vladivostok. The EEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.

"This year, the 10th anniversary Eastern Economic Forum is taking place. One of its main topics is the technological development of our country. It is impossible to imagine a strong and independent Russia without cosmonautics. In the Far East, in the Amur Region, one of the most ambitious and large-scale projects in history is being created – the Vostochny Cosmodrome. Launches of Russian launch vehicles from the Baikonur Cosmodrome continue. And today, a launch vehicle branded in honor of the EEF-2025 was launched. I am convinced that our country will move forward in its technological development. The order of the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on the accelerated development of the Far East will be implemented in full, which will stimulate the economy and improve the quality of life of our citizens," said Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.

The launch vehicle launched the Bion-M No. 2 spacecraft into polar orbit – a large medical and biological laboratory. As a result, some aspects of the impact of polar orbit conditions, close to those of deep space, will be studied.

"The launch of a rocket with the symbols of the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum is a landmark event that emphasizes the role of the EEF as a strategic platform for the development of the Far East and the strengthening of international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Over the past ten years, the forum has become an effective tool for attracting investment, implementing large infrastructure projects and creating new economic opportunities. Among other tools, the forum creates the growth dynamics that the Far East demonstrates thanks to systemic state policy and active participation of business. It also reflects the technological potential of Russia and its course for sustainable development of the macro-region. The Eastern Economic Forum continues to confirm its status as a key discussion platform where the vectors of further socio-economic progress are determined," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President and Executive Secretary of the EEF Organizing Committee.

The main theme of the EEF this year is “The Far East – cooperation for peace and prosperity.”

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated Russians on the 80th anniversary of the domestic nuclear industry.

The official history begins on August 20, 1945, when a Special Committee was created to direct work on the use of uranium atomic energy.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed special gratitude to the workers and veterans of the nuclear industry, scientists and teachers who train personnel for this area, and also emphasized the flagship role of Rosatom State Corporation and the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center in the development of technologies.

"As President Vladimir Putin noted, the creation of the nuclear industry in our country in 1945 was a major, significant event and a true symbol of scientific progress. This gave a powerful impetus to the development of domestic science and industry, and today Russia maintains its leading position in the field of nuclear energy. Our specialists built the world's first nuclear power plant, created the first nuclear icebreaker, and today the development of unique megascience-class installations continues. All this became possible thanks to the colossal diligence, curiosity and passion of the employees of the nuclear industry of the future, present, and I am sure, will be continued by domestic specialists in the future," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

For example, today the state corporation Rosatom not only builds nuclear power plants, providing clean energy to the country and the world, but also creates new materials – super-strong, environmentally friendly, helps to develop the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route, develops nuclear medicine methods to defeat incurable diseases, and develops quantum technologies to solve the global problems of humanity.

Rosatom is the world leader in the nuclear industry, operating in more than 60 countries. The company's portfolio of foreign orders for the construction of nuclear power plants includes 33 high-power units in 10 countries, as well as the world's first export project for the construction of low-power nuclear power plants – 6 units in Uzbekistan.

The Deputy Prime Minister also recalled that last year, President Vladimir Putin approved priority areas of scientific and technological development and a list of the most important science-intensive technologies. The first on this list is the area of "Technologies for creating highly efficient systems for generating, distributing and storing energy (including nuclear energy)." To develop them, the national project "New Nuclear and Energy Technologies" is being implemented since 2025.

"In order for our country to continue making breakthroughs in the field of nuclear technologies, it is important to continue to ensure a high level of personnel training. Today, almost 10 thousand students are studying in Russian universities and colleges in programs related to the nuclear industry. This year alone, almost 2.5 thousand budget places were established for them," he said.

The training of qualified specialists for the nuclear industry is also carried out within the framework of 4 advanced engineering schools and 12 clusters of the federal project "Professionalism" of the national project "Youth and Children".

In addition, universities, together with industrial partners, create scientific projects and developments. For example, within the framework of the Priority-2030 program, the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI is implementing the strategic technological project "Nuclear Technologies and New Materials". Within its framework, the development of the kilojoule energy laser installation "ELF" (Experimental Laser-Physical Installation) was launched in July.

Also, Rosatom State Corporation together with the advanced engineering school of the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named after R.E. Alekseev launched the first industry engineering and design school "Young Designer". It was created to train specialists in the nuclear industry. The project is focused on mastering the latest technologies and systems of operation of modern industrial complexes.

The meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the celebration of the 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on the Solovetsky Archipelago was held by His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' and Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko. The 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on Solovki will be celebrated in 2029.

The meeting was held in the Hospital (Treasury) building of the Transfiguration Solovetsky Stavropegic Monastery during the annual forum in memory of Saint Philip as part of the Patriarch’s visit, timed to coincide with the celebrations of the day of remembrance of Saints Zosima, Savvaty and Herman of Solovetsky.

Representatives of federal authorities, the Governor of the Arkhangelsk Region Alexander Tsybulsky and members of the regional government, representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Foundation for the Preservation and Development of the Solovetsky Archipelago, public and religious associations, various departments and structures took part in the work of the council.

In his welcoming speech, Patriarch Kirill noted that Solovki is one of those places where the strength of the people’s spirit is especially recognized.

“Thanks to this power, even in the most terrible years of hard times, the great monastery was preserved and became a refuge for Orthodox people,” noted the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.

He also added that, given the enormous cultural, spiritual and historical significance of Solovki, it is necessary to combine all efforts to solve the problems that exist on the islands.

“Our goal is to completely restore the priority objects of the Solovki architectural ensemble by 2029,” the Patriarch added, emphasizing that large-scale work is already underway to preserve this great heritage.

The Foundation for the Preservation and Development of the Solovetsky Archipelago, created in 2018 on the initiative of the Russian Orthodox Church, also plays an active role in preparing for the anniversary celebration.

In addition, the foundation's board of trustees is empowered to coordinate activities to preserve and develop the archipelago. Its co-chairman is Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the organizing committee was formed by the Government in accordance with the decree of President Vladimir Putin.

"For the Government, preparations for the celebration of the 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on the Solovetsky Archipelago are one of the priority areas. Issues of preserving and developing this archipelago are under the personal control of Chairman Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin," he said.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that two years ago a headquarters for the preservation and development of the Solovetsky Archipelago was created. In addition, a video monitoring group was organized to monitor the situation at all sites.

"To implement the events on Solovki within the established deadlines, the Government allocated additional funds from the federal budget for the construction and reconstruction of infrastructure facilities in the settlement of Solovetsky. The construction of a modern waste management complex was completed. Today we checked the progress of work on the construction of a technological pier and the reconstruction of the passenger pier "Tamarin". Contracts have been concluded for the water supply systems and sewerage networks of the settlement of Solovetsky. The restoration of cultural heritage sites is proceeding according to plan," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Governor of the Arkhangelsk Region, Alexander Tsybulsky, provided information about the events that the Arkhangelsk Region Government is implementing on the archipelago.

He noted that the upcoming celebration of the 600th anniversary of the monastic development of the Solovetsky Islands is a milestone, and preparations for the significant date can be regarded as a task of national importance.

"Only by joint efforts can we preserve the greatness of Solovki and ensure its development for future generations. That is why the unification of the Russian Orthodox Church, government bodies, public and cultural organizations has become a solid foundation for our work," said the head of the region.

As the governor reported, construction of a district hospital and an airport building are already being completed on Solovki, and engineering infrastructure facilities are being improved.

In the near future, the renovations will also affect the education sector: in accordance with the decisions of the headquarters for the preservation and development of the Solovetsky Archipelago, the government of the Arkhangelsk region has worked out issues of carrying out major repairs to the buildings of the Solovetsky secondary school and kindergarten.

In addition, in 2024, a Strategy for the Development of Pilgrimage and Tourism on the Territory of the Solovetsky Archipelago until 2035 was developed, which takes into account the maximum anthropogenic load and is aimed at developing tourism while respecting the spiritual and natural heritage of the islands.

The brand book of the Solovetsky Archipelago has been developed and the development of a single digital resource – the “My Solovki” website – is nearing completion.

"We are building a comprehensive system for the preservation and development of Solovki – from engineering and social infrastructure to the tourist and cultural environment," noted Alexander Tsybulsky. "All this will allow us to celebrate the anniversary date with dignity, preserving the uniqueness of the archipelago and making it more open to pilgrims and guests."

The decree on holding events dedicated to the most important milestone in the history of not only the Orthodox Russian North, but all of Russia, was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2024.

Events to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on Solovki will begin in 2027. Preparations include infrastructure changes on the archipelago, as well as the organization of a whole range of memorial, cultural and Orthodox events.
