Between 2026 and 2028, over 45 billion rubles will be allocated from the federal budget to create a network of modern university campuses as part of the new national project "Youth and Children." Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order allocating these funds.

Funding has already been allocated in the federal budget for the next three years. It will be distributed to the regions whose campus applications have been approved by the Ministry of Education and Science. These regions include Perm Krai, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Novgorod Oblast, and Tyumen Oblast.

The campuses will be multifunctional spaces with coworking spaces, classrooms, sports facilities, libraries, student housing, graduate student housing, faculty and research staff housing, and technology parks. The creation of such student campuses will not only provide additional opportunities to enhance research and education but will also foster the development of adjacent areas and foster cultural interaction between the city and university communities.

Part of the funding for the campuses will come from businesses and the regions themselves. Interaction with investors will be based on a public-private partnership model or concession agreements.

Work to create university campuses is being carried out at the direction of the President. By 2036, it is planned to create at least 40 such spaces.

The document will be published.

A meeting of the Organizing Committee for the preparation of the International Forum "Russian Energy Week" was held under the leadership of Alexander Novak.

A meeting of the organizing committee for the international forum "Russian Energy Week" was held in Moscow, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. The meeting addressed key organizational and substantive issues related to the forum's preparations, as well as coordination of Russian Energy Week events with the eighth summit of heads of state and government of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum.

Meeting participants noted that the tradition of beginning preparations for the next Russian Energy Week well in advance allows for more effective international promotion of the forum, a detailed business agenda, enhanced interaction with partners, and expansion of the exhibition's display of fuel and energy equipment and technologies across two venues.

"Russian Energy Week has established itself as a key international platform for substantive dialogue on the development of the fuel and energy sector. In 2026, we will begin preparations for the forum well in advance to expand its international component, strengthen the practical focus of the business program, and ensure the participation of a wide range of Russian and international partners. Our goal is to formulate an agenda that reflects the strategic priorities of energy policy, the technological development of the industry, and its role in ensuring sustainable economic growth," noted Alexander Novak.

During the meeting, issues related to determining the dates and location of the forum, approving the main parameters for organizing work with participants, and launching an invitation campaign were discussed.

The Manege Central Exhibition Hall has been proposed as the forum's venue, and Gostiny Dvor as the location for the fuel and energy equipment and technology exhibition. The Roscongress Foundation has been proposed as the forum's operator.

A separate section of the meeting was devoted to issues of preparation for the eighth summit of heads of state and government of the countries participating in the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, which is planned to be held in Russia in 2026.

"In preparing for Russian Energy Week, special attention is being paid to developing a comprehensive and balanced program that combines strategic discussions, practical formats, and an exhibition. Synchronizing the forum's events with the international energy agenda, including interaction with GECF member countries, will enhance REW's international status and create additional opportunities for professional dialogue, exchange of experience, and the development of long-term partnerships," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the Russian Energy Week International Forum.

During the meeting, the preliminary logic of the event schedule was discussed. This includes holding the main business program of Russian Energy Week in the first days of the forum with the possibility of participation by representatives of the GECF delegations, holding a plenary session of the REW-2026, and organizing a GECF summit on the final day, simultaneously with Youth Day at the REW site.

It was emphasized that the key focus of preparations for 2026 remains the development of Russian Energy Week as a central international industry platform, combining a business program, exhibition display, and youth agenda.

The forum also plans to host traditional events, including the Global Energy Prize and the awards ceremony for the winners of the Energy of the Pen international competition. In 2026, the prize program will be expanded with a visiting session planned for Latin American countries, which will expand international scientific and expert dialogue in the energy sector.

Furthermore, to further the forum's humanitarian and social agenda, the All-Russian Media Forum for Professional Excellence "Energy of the Winners" was launched in 2026. The project was initiated by the Ministry of Energy, the Defenders of the Fatherland State Foundation, the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, and the Roscongress Foundation.

The media forum aims to promote employment for special military operation veterans in the fuel and energy sector, as well as to enhance the prestige of work in the industry and the status of blue-collar and engineering professions. This initiative is particularly relevant given that 2026 has been declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia by presidential decree.

National and regional television and radio companies will participate in the competition, presenting original journalistic works, including documentaries, television and radio programs, reports, essays, and special projects dedicated to people in the industry and opportunities for professional development in the fuel and energy sector. A distinguished jury will evaluate the works based on historical accuracy, professional level, depth, and originality of presentation.

The meeting also addressed the development of the REW 2026 business program, exhibition development, event security, and the promotion of the forum in Russia and abroad. The need for the active participation of members of the organizing committee, federal executive bodies, partner companies, and industry associations in the forum's informational coverage was emphasized.

Following the meeting, it was proposed to record the discussed parameters for preparing the international forum "Russian Energy Week" and issues of coordination with preparations for the GECF summit in the minutes of the organizing committee and to begin their practical implementation.

All federal and regional life events planned for launch in 2025 have been implemented. Now, 70 federal and 425 regional life events are available on the State Services portal, as well as regional portals and websites. Among the most popular federal services of the past year are "University Admission," "Receiving a Tax Deduction," and "Protection from Online Fraud." The digitalization of government services is being implemented as part of the national project "Data Economy," overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Real-life situations represent a new stage in the development of the government services system. One service combines, on average, approximately 17 government services related to a single topic, and helps users access them comprehensively, in a single-window mode. This approach to unifying government services helps reduce the time it takes to resolve a user's issue, eliminating unnecessary paperwork and government department visits. Information already available in the government system is automatically downloaded when accessing services included in a single package.

"Today, you can resolve your issue with a life situation on the government services portal in just a few clicks. People can now complete tasks that used to take hours, days, and sometimes even months without leaving home. Life situations help save time. These services allow you to access related services comprehensively, in one place, without collecting unnecessary documents. We have launched all 70 federal and 425 regional life situations planned for implementation. The service covers a wide range of topics, including new ones such as 'Birth of a Child,' 'Tax Deduction,' 'Opening an IT Company,' and even 'My Pet,'" said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The most popular federal life situation in 2025 was "University Admission," used by 9,955,626 people. The second most popular service was "Getting a Tax Deduction," used by 4,406,971 people. The "Online Fraud Protection" service was accessed by 3,267,950 people, and 1,957,441 users received services under the "Retirement" life situation. The "Large Family" service was used by 980,620 people.

The transition from disparate services to real-life situations is one of the results of a comprehensive transformation of the entire public service delivery system. Furthermore, the transformation includes the launch of proactive services and services available online immediately upon request, as well as the implementation of strict quality standards and personal accountability of agency employees for each service.

In 2026, the development of neglected life situations, the introduction of new proactive government services, and strict quality control of all government services will continue.
