More than 140 people from among the heads of international departments of higher education and scientific organizations gathered for training at the Business Center of the State University of Management.

On behalf of the host party, Vladimir Stroev, Rector of the State University of Management, welcomed those gathered.

"Today, a new Academic Reserve program begins at SUM, this time with an international track. A year and a half ago, we implemented a rector's track, and a quarter of its graduates have already become university rectors and vice-rectors. So the system is working, there's a need for qualified personnel, and we need to actively participate and demonstrate our strengths. The project is not just about studying, but also about building a community and networking in the relevant field. I wish you success and, upon completion of the course, the positions you aspire to or strengthening your existing positions. SUM is always happy to assist you with this."

Reports on the status, trends, objectives, and challenges of international cooperation between higher education institutions and scientific organizations were presented by:

Ksenia Trinchenko, Director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia; Alexey Svistunov, Director of the Department of Personnel Policy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia; Elena Galaktionova, Deputy Director of the Department for Multilateral Humanitarian Cooperation and Cultural Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia; Armen Oganesyan, Acting Deputy Head of the Department of Permit and Visa Work of the Migration Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Of particular value to those gathered was the presentation by Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. She emphasized the need for interdepartmental cooperation in creating conditions for the full adaptation of international students and their integration into Russian society. She also emphasized the importance of universities and research organizations in shaping Russia's attractive image internationally, as they convey to international students the values, ideas, and potential that make our country worthy of admiration.

A key element of the program was a lively dialogue between its initiator and mastermind, Konstantin Mogilevsky, and the meeting participants. Konstantin Mogilevsky emphasized the importance of receiving open feedback from those directly involved in developing international relations to ensure the synchronous work of the Ministry and the international services of universities and research organizations.

During the two-day intensive course, students were able to learn about current priorities for international activity, receive expert analysis of the current state of international cooperation in education and science, and master the fundamentals of strategic planning for international activity.

Participants will then undergo intensive distance learning on a digital educational platform, as well as two in-person modules on mastering best practices in international management.

By December 4, 2025, teams of specialists, led by experienced experts and mentors, will develop 15 framework strategies for developing international activities, differentiated depending on the initial parameters of the organizations represented.

The course's comprehensive program will foster the development of a talent pool of international cooperation specialists, foster a professional community, and serve as a foundation for participants' continued professional growth, shaping a comprehensive vision, and developing international activities within a specific educational or scientific organization.

It should be noted that "Academic Reserve: International Track" is the successor to the "Academic Reserve" program for the systematic training of a reserve of management personnel for higher education and scientific organizations, which was launched at the State University of Management in 2022.

Washington, September 29 (Xinhua) — The White House is reviewing a plan for European NATO allies to purchase American Tomahawk cruise missiles and transfer them to Ukraine, but the final decision rests with President Donald Trump, US Vice President J.D. Vance said on Fox News.

"I know we're discussing this issue right now," he said. "We're considering it right now. We're certainly considering a number of requests from Europeans."

When asked whether he was personally comfortable with Ukraine receiving Tomahawk missiles and “what threat that would pose,” J.D. Vance began to evade the answer, stating that “the final decision…as to what is in the best interests of the United States” would be made by D. Trump.

According to American media reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a deal (on Tomahawk missiles) during his meeting with Donald Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York last week. Zelenskyy claimed Trump responded, "We'll work on it."

J.D. Vance emphasized that the Trump administration has significantly shifted policy, forcing Europe to shoulder a greater share of the burden. "We're no longer just handing out tons of money and weapons. What we're doing is asking Europeans to buy these weapons," he said.

Meanwhile, he called on Russia to “sit down at the negotiating table and really talk seriously about peace.”

The Tomahawk is a US-made, long-range, subsonic, ground-launched cruise missile with a range of 460-2500 km, depending on the version. This range could allow strikes against areas near Moscow if the missiles were deployed in parts of Europe.

HANGZHOU, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) — A team of Chinese researchers has achieved a breakthrough in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, demonstrating how multi-rotor drones successfully exchanged instruments mid-flight while maintaining formation in strong wind conditions.

In a study published last week in the journal Nature, engineers at West Hui University demonstrated two quadcopters—a drone carrying a toolkit and a drone operator equipped with an extendable robotic arm—that successfully performed successive multiple docking maneuvers with an average error of 8 millimeters.

When one drone hovers directly above another, its propellers create a powerful downdraft that destabilizes the UAV below. Tests have shown that with a vertical distance of just 0.6 meters, the downdraft from the operating "thrusters" reaches over 13 m/s, equivalent to a "strong wind" of force 6 on the Beaufort scale.

Researchers claim that this joint flight, carried out using the FlyingToolbox operating system, is the first of its kind in the world and has solved the technical challenge of synchronous close-range flight and high-precision operations.

A team of scientists from Xihu University has developed a soft electromagnetic docking module, an intelligent electromagnetic interface that automatically attaches upon contact, significantly improving docking accuracy.

In the published videos, the system also performed even more complex tasks: coordinating the work of three drones and mid-air capture by two drones in motion.

In the near future, advanced aerial robotic systems may help humans perform complex and dangerous tasks in higher and more distant places, according to developments. -0-
