Approved business program architecture the seventh international forum "Russian Energy Week – 2025", which will be held at the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege" in Moscow from October 15 to 17. The central theme of REW-2025 is "Creating the energy of the future together". This year, Russian Energy Week will again be held at two venues: the business program events will be held in the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege", and an exhibition of equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy complex will be organized in Gostiny Dvor, within the framework of which leading manufacturing companies, equipment suppliers, technology companies from all industry areas of the fuel and energy complex will present promising projects, breakthrough achievements, innovative equipment and advanced technologies. Russian Energy Week is held with the support of the Government of Russia, the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the Government of Moscow. The organizer of the forum is the Roscongress Foundation.

The business program of the forum will include about 30 events, divided into thematic blocks: "International Cooperation", "Technologies as a Key Driver of Energy Development", "Sustainable Development: Adaptation to the New Reality" and "Russia's Fuel and Energy Complex: Development Strategy". As part of the REW, the scientific and practical conference "Territory of Energy Dialogue" and the gala ceremony of the "Global Energy" award for outstanding research and scientific and technical developments that contribute to increasing the efficiency and environmental safety of energy sources on Earth in the interests of all mankind will be held. There will also be an award ceremony for the winners of the international journalism award "Energy of the Pen", designed to encourage journalists, observers and experts writing about the most pressing issues of modern energy, including the transformation of the global energy balance, the development of new technologies and climate change. Russian Energy Week will end with the traditional Youth Day.

"Over the course of its existence, REW has become a landmark international industry platform, attracting leading representatives of the fuel and energy complex, without exaggeration, from all over the world. This year's REW business program includes all the current issues of global energy development, and the exhibition of special equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy complex, which will be organized for the second time, will demonstrate the greatest achievements of Russian scientists and developers. I am convinced that the discussions within the REW business program will attract additional public attention to current issues in the fuel and energy complex, and the forum will once again bring together key participants in the Russian energy market, representatives of foreign countries and companies, officials, experts and the media to discuss the prospects for the development of the industry in changing conditions," said Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak.

One of the central topics of the upcoming Russian Energy Week will be the Energy Strategy until 2050, approved by the Russian Government with two key priorities: providing the domestic market with energy resources and realizing the export potential. The central event of the business program will be the plenary session. Special attention will be paid to nuclear energy as part of the 80th anniversary of the industry – a large stand of nuclear industry technologies and equipment is planned to be organized at the Gostiny Dvor site.

"This year, the participants of the Russian Energy Week will discuss the first stages of implementing the Energy Strategy until 2050, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, which defines the long-term guidelines of our country for the period until 2050: development of the fuel and energy complex in the context of global challenges, energy transition, introduction of digital technologies, technological changes in general and growing energy consumption. The strategy takes into account the growth of global demand for all types of sources by 20% by 2050. Special attention will also be paid to the international aspect in the development of energy. I am confident that the Russian Energy Week will once again become the central place for the international energy dialogue that is so necessary today," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the REW-2025 Organizing Committee.

The topic of international cooperation will occupy an important place in the program of this year's forum. The Russia-OPEC energy dialogue will be held at the REW-2025 site, with special attention paid to cooperation between Russia and Africa in the energy sector. Participants will discuss expanding cooperation between BRICS countries and ways to form a fair energy system for the SCO and ASEAN countries.

NSU biology students will take part in the final of the international SynBio Challenge competition in China for the first time

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The final of the international SynBio Challenge competition will be held in Shenzhen (Guangdong Province, China) on August 6. The competition is organized by the Shenzhen University of High Technology. A total of 1,800 students registered to participate in the competition, of which about 1,000 participants from six countries of the world – China, Russia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia – made it to the final. Our country is represented at these competitions by only two teams – from the Biological Faculty of Moscow State University and Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS) of NSURussian teams are taking part in the competition for the first time.

The GeneMeow team included six students of the NSU Natural Sciences Department who completed their 3rd year in Biology: Valeria Romanova, Ekaterina Bolotova, Nail Bikeev, Nikita Ivanov, Ulyana Borovikova and Dmitry Kurbatsky. GeneMeow was formed from two strong teams that had previously participated in the Biotournament, won prizes in its regional stage and received a second-degree diploma at the final in 2024. Participation in the Biotournament allowed them to gain experience in solving interdisciplinary problems in biology, publicly defending ideas to experts and project work. The students joined forces to jointly solve problems at the intersection of biology and engineering.

All the guys from the NSU team regularly participate in student Olympiads and are engaged in scientific activities at the institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, combining their studies with research and educational activities.

The selection round of the competition was held in absentia in April-May; participants were offered a choice of several problems, one of which the students had to solve.

— In the SynBio Challenge, we solved the problem of developing a DNA sequence no longer than 140 bp, providing high expression of GFP (green fluorescent protein) in E. coli. It seemed familiar and interesting to us, since we had already studied molecular biology at the university, have laboratory experience and are well acquainted with the methods of genetic engineering. This gave us confidence in our abilities and the desire to apply our knowledge in practice, — said the captain of the GeneMeow team, Valeria Romanova.

— We conducted a bioinformatics analysis of regulatory elements, studied relevant literature and modern approaches to increasing gene expression. Based on this, we developed an optimized design that includes strong promoter (a region of a gene that triggers the synthesis of mRNA and then protein) and post-transcriptional (regulatory) elements and is aimed at efficient expression of GFP. Such developments are relevant for medicine, biotechnology, agriculture and fundamental research, — said GeneMeow team member Ulyana Borovikova.

The final will be held in person and will be a festival, where each team will present their solutions to the problems at the selection stage. In addition, the organizers of the competition synthesized the DNA sequences proposed by the participants, inserted them into plasmids with a fluorescent protein gene, which is used to check the DNA sequence, and during the festival they will visualize the synthesized sequences, compare which team has them glowing more strongly. The brightness of the glow will be one of the criteria for assessing the work of each team.

— NSU has historically developed leading scientific schools in synthetic biology and bioinformatics. This year, the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies is opening a Master's degree program in Industrial Pharmacy, where students will work on solving specific problems of industrial partners. At one time, the iGEM-Siberia team became the first team from outside Moscow to take part in the world's largest competition of genetically engineered machines, iGEM-2021. This year, our Chinese colleagues invited us to take part in SynBio Challenge, an international competition of comparable scale. I hope that the team will return with a victory; the guys have been working on the project for a long time and will present a poster presentation at the festival. The development of biomedical technologies is a global trend. I am very glad that we always find support for students' initiatives at our university! — commented Sergey Sedykh, PhD, Senior Lecturer at the NSU Natural Sciences Department, and judge of the SynBio Challenge competition.

The participation of the NSU team in the international competition is financed within the framework of the academic mobility project of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU Priority 2030 programs.

Bioinformatics: the key to the future of oncology. Results of the conference "tumor markers" in Novosibirsk

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The VII All-Russian Conference "Tumor Markers: Molecular, Genetic and Clinical Aspects" was held in Novosibirsk from July 28 to 30, 2025. The event brought together more than a hundred leading Russian specialists: opinion leaders, professors of the Russian Academy of Sciences, heads of molecular laboratories, heads of clinical departments and diagnostic centers. The central topic of discussion was the transformative role of bioinformatics in the search for new biomarkers, the development of personalized methods for diagnosing and treating cancer. Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU (IMMT NSU) The event was presented by the head of the biotechnology and medicine department, Maria Lomova, and the head of the bioinformatics laboratory, Alexander Vikhorev.

The conference confirmed the status of bioinformatics as one of the most dynamic and sought-after scientific disciplines in modern oncology. Participants unanimously noted that without complex big data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), further breakthroughs in understanding the mechanisms of oncogenesis and creating effective diagnostic tools are impossible.

The event became a unique platform for the formation of scientific and practical cooperation between bioinformaticians, molecular biologists and clinicians. Only the joint work of these specialists allows us to translate fundamental discoveries in the field of tumor markers into real clinical protocols.

The conference actively discussed advanced bioinformatic approaches for searching and validating new biomarkers in genomic data, platform solutions for determining the mutational status of patients. A special focus was made on the use of AI in oncology research. Participants shared their experience in using AI to analyze medical images, gene expression patterns, predict drug resistance, and develop individual treatment regimens.

— The conference clearly demonstrated that bioinformatics has ceased to be an auxiliary tool — it has become the driving force of oncological research. It is bioinformaticians, who possess methods for analyzing the most complex genomic data, who today decipher the "language" of cancer, helping to find new targets for therapy and create tests for early diagnostics. For young scientists and students, this is an area of enormous opportunities and a real contribution to saving lives, — noted Alexander Vikhorev.

The participants of the event noted that the VII All-Russian Conference "Tumor Markers" in Novosibirsk successfully fulfilled its task, providing specialists of different profiles with an important platform for professional dialogue. The exchange of relevant experience and views on the application of modern approaches will undoubtedly contribute to the development of more effective solutions in the field of oncology. The example of IMMT NSU shows that participation in such events remains significant for the scientific community and practical healthcare.

NSU student identifies regular phonetic correspondences between Chinese and Korean consonants

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A comparative study to identify regular phonetic correspondences between consonants in Chinese and Korean was conducted by a student of the Department of Oriental Studies Humanitarian Institute of Novosibirsk State University Artem Tashlykov. The result of the work was a summary table of regular phonetic correspondences of consonant phonemes of the Chinese and Korean languages. When compiling it, all possible syllables of the Chinese language were taken into account, as well as all syllables of the Korean language corresponding to each syllable of the Chinese language. For an objective comparison of the articulatory-acoustic characteristics of sounds, the young researcher used the methods of electroacoustic analysis – spectrography and oscillography. Artem Tashlykov conducted his research under the scientific supervision of Anton Shamrin, PhD in Philology, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Oriental Studies. This work is very important, because there are very few comparative studies on the Chinese and Korean languages in the Russian-speaking scientific space. The results of the study can be used to improve linguodidactic and methodological materials used in training specialists who speak both languages. Such employees are currently in high demand on the labor market.

— Some words in different Eastern languages sound similar to a certain extent, which causes certain difficulties for those who study them in parallel. This similarity is especially clearly expressed in vocabulary based on hieroglyphic writing. The writing of Korea and Japan has been influenced by Chinese hieroglyphic writing since ancient times, which became one of the reasons for the penetration of a certain set of hieroglyphic vocabulary into the vocabulary of these countries. When borrowing vocabulary, pronunciation was accordingly borrowed. But over time, it inevitably underwent changes. This happened, perhaps, due to the difference in the articulatory-acoustic base of these three languages. As a result, pronunciation was distorted to some extent, adapting to the set of sounds familiar to native speakers of these languages. Probably, phonetic changes that occur in all languages of the world due to their natural and logical development also made their contribution. The result of changes in the pronunciation of hieroglyphic vocabulary in Chinese and Korean was the fact that one phoneme of the Chinese language corresponds to several phonemes of the Korean language, just as one phoneme of the Korean language can correspond to several phonemes of the Chinese language. In this way, regular phonetic correspondences were formed. My goal was to identify such regular phonetic correspondences and their subsequent systematization, – said Artem Tashlykov.

The young researcher had previously compiled a list of 150 two-syllable words that had common hieroglyphic roots in both Chinese and Korean. These words were selected in such a way that it would be possible to analyze each of the phonemes presented in both languages in all variants of their implementation in speech. Then audio recordings were made of two native speakers of Chinese and two native speakers of Korean.

The informants were first asked to familiarize themselves with the given list of words and then read them out loud. In order to eliminate recording errors and expand the statistical data, each word was pronounced 4 times, with a pause between them. This helped to avoid combinatorial changes in pronunciation between words when reading. Thus, a total of 2400 audio fragments were analyzed.

In order to measure the absolute durations of sounds and to describe in detail the formant characteristics, the recorded material was analyzed using electroacoustic methods – oscillography and spectrography.

— Using an oscillogram, we can determine the boundaries of vowels and consonants, as well as the method of articulating consonants. However, using only an oscillogram, it is almost impossible to determine which sound is being pronounced. Therefore, for a more detailed analysis and determination of the row and rise of vowels, the place and method of articulating consonants, we obtained spectrograms, which are graphs of the dependence of the spectrum of sound frequencies on time. As a result of applying such a comprehensive approach, we were able to establish the degree of correspondence between similar consonant phonemes of the two languages and discover differences in the articulation and acoustic characteristics of the sounds of the Chinese and Korean languages. We compared the syllabic structures of both languages, compiled a description of the acoustic properties of the main allophones of all consonant phonemes, and made a statistical calculation of the correspondences. A total of 40 regular phonetic correspondences were established, including 32 correspondences between phonemes that have a similar method of articulation, 4 regular correspondences in the affricate-plosive pair, 3 in the fricative-plosive pair, and 1 in the affricate-fricative pair, explained Artem Tashlykov.

The young researcher compiled a table containing all the unique correspondences of syllables between Chinese and Korean, on the basis of which calculations were made, and created tables of the frequency of occurrence of phonetic correspondences. A summary table of the identified regular correspondences was also formed with a classification of phonemes by the method of articulation, which clearly demonstrated the presence or absence of regular correspondences between certain phonemes of the Chinese and Korean languages.

— My work systematizes extensive empirical material and creates a basis for further theoretical and applied research in the field of comparative phonetics of East Asian languages. And the practical significance of my research is that it contains information useful for the simultaneous study of Chinese and Korean. The results of my work can be used in the development of teaching aids and methods aimed at students who speak one of the languages and study the second, — said Artem Tashlykov.

New SEZ in Tatarstan to unite five biotech investors

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.

A new special economic zone of industrial and production type is being created in Tatarstan — "Green Valley". The agreement on the creation of the zone was concluded by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the Government of Tatarstan, the executive committee of the Zainsky district and the management company "Alabuga-2. Petrochemistry".

The decision to create the SEZ was made earlier: the corresponding resolution was approved by the Russian Government. According to the document, the zone is located in the Zainsky District of Tatarstan, and the republic will invest at least 2.5 billion rubles in the development of its infrastructure until 2027. Five anchor investors joined Green Valley at the start. The total volume of planned investments is more than 15 billion rubles. All projects are being implemented in the field of biotechnology – from deep processing of industrial crops (for example, flax) to the production of biofertilizers, sorbents and biologically active additives.

"All anchor resident projects will be implemented in the field of biotechnology; in essence, we are creating a specialized cluster in Tatarstan. This will allow not only to more effectively build the economy of enterprises in the special economic zone, but also to develop technological cooperation in solving the problems of import substitution and the country's strategic sovereignty," said Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Svyatoslav Sorokin.

One of the key areas is the production of modified flax fiber, which is in demand in the chemical industry and in the production of special paints and varnishes. Today, such products are produced in Russia in small quantities. In the Green Valley, their production will be organized in a full cycle – from processing raw materials to finished products. Several residents will work on this at once, building a technological chain within the site.

The zone's projects are aimed at developing the region's agro-industrial complex. Modern approaches to processing agricultural raw materials will allow Tatarstan to increase the profitability of crop and livestock production and enhance the efficiency of the industry as a whole.

Polytechnic University presented innovative developments to representatives of federal authorities

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On August 4, a representative delegation headed by Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Mikhail Ivanov, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Dmitry Afanasyev and Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation Sergey Kuchushev visited Polytechnic University on a working visit.

The delegation also included Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Competition Protection Valery Gartung, Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Vladimir Knyaginin, Acting Chairman of the Committee on Industrial Policy, Innovation and Trade of St. Petersburg Alexander Sitov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Industrial Policy, Innovation and Trade of St. Petersburg Alexey Yakovlev, and heads of departments of ministries.

The guests were met by the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy, vice-rectors Vitaly Sergeev, Lyudmila Pankova, Yuri Fomin, Dmitry Tikhonov, director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport Anatoly Popovich, scientific secretary Dmitry Karpov, heads and employees of scientific centers and laboratories.

It is a great honor for us to receive such a representative delegation interested in getting acquainted with the advanced developments of our scientists, – noted the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy. – Today, our university is one of the leading scientific and educational centers, where innovative ideas are born and the most daring engineering projects are implemented. We are proud of the achievements of our researchers and are happy to share our accumulated experience. I am sure that your visit will open up new prospects for our scientists, for the interaction of the university with the industrial sector and various branches of the economy. We are ready to share our developments and are open to dialogue, which will undoubtedly contribute to the development of science and technological leadership of our country.

During the visit, government officials learned about the latest achievements of the Polytechnic’s research teams, saw the unique equipment developed at the university and the products manufactured on it, including those ordered by industrial partners.

The acquaintance began with a visit to laboratories and centers engaged in additive manufacturing. In the Laboratory of Lightweight Materials and Structures, the delegation members were told about additive electric arc growing (WAAM), and were shown the first robotic WAAM printer in the Russian Federation and other installations. They were also presented with the technology for manufacturing parts using friction stir welding on a robotic complex of their own production.

The staff of the Research Laboratory "Laser and Additive Technologies" of the Institute of Metallurgical Engineering and Technology presented the mobile laser cladding complex "Nomad". This is a unique development for Russia, created on a single platform using a robot, a powder feeder and a high-precision laser. The complex is compact and mobile: it can be easily transported for on-site work on the restoration of large-sized and specialized products. With its help, key elements of gas turbine engines of both Russian and foreign manufacture have already been restored.

Another development that has attracted interest is the laser welding complex for hydrogen energy source fuel cells. This is the only equipment in the country that has produced more than 700 hydrogen energy source fuel cells, 350 of which are undergoing sea trials on board the Ecobalt vessel.

The guests were also shown hip joint cups created by a combined method, using the technology of applying a porous coating to the blank. Now the laboratory is creating a production complex that will allow serial production of up to 40 thousand such products per year.

It is important for us to show developments live – not on slides, but in action. This is the only way to truly convey the scale and potential of these technologies, – said the director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport Anatoly Popovich. – When guests see examples of work created by the hands of engineers and scientists, this turns from an abstract innovation into a subject of real interest and further support.

The guests also learned that the Polytechnic University became the first university to have a section for serial production of gas turbine engine parts: nozzle assemblies and injectors. In addition, SPbPU has the first domestically produced high-temperature 3D printing equipment in Russia and Western Europe, which allows for the growth of products with a directional structure.

In the lobby of the Technopolis Polytech Research Building, delegations presented scientific and technical developments by young scientists and engineers, including university students.

The achievements of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" were presented by the Deputy Head of the Engineering Center (CompMechLab®) of SPbPU Nikolay Efimov-Soini. He spoke about a unique Russian development focused on ensuring the design and production of globally competitive high-tech products in various industries and in new markets in the shortest possible time — the CML-Bench® Digital Platform. Nikolay Konstantinovich emphasized that dozens of breakthrough projects have been implemented on the CML-Bench® Digital Platform to develop digital twins of products for high-tech industries, including engine building, aircraft manufacturing, nuclear energy, oil and gas, automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, shipbuilding and medicine, in accordance with the national standard of the Russian Federation — GOST R 57700.37–2021 "Computer models and modeling. DIGITAL DOUBLES OF PRODUCTS. General Provisions".

In accordance with the current needs of industrial enterprises and the unmanned aircraft systems sector, SPbPU Advanced Engineering School is adapting the Digital Platform for the Development and Application of Digital Twins CML-Bench® to the UAS industry. The digital platform CML-Bench.BASTM has been supplemented with a system for constructing virtual test benches and testing grounds for conducting digital tests of both individual UAS elements and the aircraft as a whole. In addition, the platform includes a Digital Certification module, which allows for full-scale certification tests to be passed the first time by conducting a large number of preliminary digital tests. This reduces the cost of development, the timing and cost of certification work, and also accelerates the launch of products to the market, – noted Alexander Gordeev, Deputy Head of the Experimental Design Bureau of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering".

At the stand, guests saw a prototype of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "Snegir-1.5", created in 2024 on the basis of the CML-Bench® Digital Platform for flight tests, control system development, validation and verification of calculation models. And Nikolay Efimov-Soini presented innovative solutions of particular interest for the development of UAVs that are competitive in terms of technical characteristics – demonstrators of overprinting technologies, induction welding of thermoplastic composite materials and automated laying of thermoplastic unidirectional prepregs.

Among the developments of the SPbPU PISh "Digital Engineering" there was also a full-scale sample of an anti-debris filter – a high-tech solution created in the interests of JSC TVEL (part of the Fuel Division of the Rosatom State Corporation) and ensuring the uninterrupted operation of equipment in extreme operating conditions.

Optimization technologies made it possible to generate a design with a large number of "needles" that form the optimal internal microstructure of the channels to intensify heat exchange. At the same time, the design provides rigidity and dynamic strength under the impact of foreign objects weighing up to 200 grams, flying at a speed of up to 6 meters per second, – emphasized Nikolay Efimov-Soini. – As a result, due to the use of digital design and additive manufacturing methods, the filtration efficiency has increased by 10 times.

Let us recall that at the International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM-2025 specialists from the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" presented a model of the UAV "Snegir-2", a prototype of which will be created in August 2025.

The Center for Technology Projects demonstrated the Morena unmanned boat for hydrographic and search operations and the Octopus-M remotely controlled unmanned underwater vehicle.

The students' developments aroused keen interest among the guests. Thus, the Polytech Voltage Machine student association presented a firefighting robot on a caterpillar track called "Freze" and an unmanned truck.

And the guys from the Student Design Bureau showed the first modification of the combat robot Honey Badger and shared that in its third version it won bronze atInternational Championship "Battle of Robots" in 2024.
