Over the course of several months, program participants underwent an intensive educational program aimed at developing innovative products.

The accelerator, implemented as part of the federal project "Technologies" of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy" of the state program "Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation," provided comprehensive support to project teams and student initiatives.

In total, participants developed approximately 70 business ideas during the accelerator, and approximately 400 people completed the educational program. The program included workshops, educational modules, direct interaction with partners, and other activities aimed at developing entrepreneurial competencies.

At the final event, experts were presented with the most developed projects covering three promising markets: FoodNet, SportNet, and AutoNet. Among the solutions that were presented were services for logistics optimization, car service selection, and parking space rental, the development of a smart bottle and specialized drinks for athletes, projects in gaming technology, and next-generation service stations.

The Demo Day expert jury included representatives of key program partners: Sberbank Moscow Bank, Elinar Holding Company, Arktika Trading House LLC, Chibo Park LLC, Tablogix LLC, Dream Auto LLC, and Turbokomplekt JSC. Also participating in the project evaluation were ANO Human Capital Development, Phoenix Sports Club, the Kaluga Region Agency for Innovative Development, and partners from Open Innovations Startup Studio LLC.

Following the Demo Day, all finalist teams received nominations from the organizers, and some projects received valuable prizes from partners. The top three winners were:

1st place: P2P parking service "Zaparkuy" (Robert Eremyan, Maxim Zhilyaev, Vita Kobycheva, Dmitry Leskov, Polina Roskina, Ilya Cheplya);

2nd place: RICE – a specialized AI-based platform for marketing automation and promotion in the confectionery business (Snezhanna Belova, Alexander Spirin, Alevtina Maryenko, Dilyara Mlyukova);

3rd place: SpeachGame – an import-independent messenger product for all types of gamers (Efim Kreslavsky, Egor Ryakhovsky).

The head of the acceleration program, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, Dmitry Bryukhanov, highly praised the results achieved:

"The Demo Day was a fitting conclusion to the program. We thank our partners for their investment in the development of our projects and students. Without them, we would not have achieved such results. Going forward, we will continue to refine the program and strive to support projects that address today's most pressing challenges."

The "Spectrum of Innovations" acceleration program has confirmed its status as an effective platform for generating and developing promising technological projects, strengthening ties between the region's educational environment, business, and development institutions.

RUDN University medical students won the International Festival of Student Science and High Art

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

RUDN University medical students won prizes and runners-up at the first International Festival of Student Science and High Art, held at Omsk State Medical University. The event, organized as part of the Decade of Science and Technology in the Russian Federation, was jointly hosted by the Omsk State Medical University's Department of Orthopedic Dentistry and our university's Department of Orthopedic Dentistry.

The festival became a living embodiment of the thesis "dental science and practice as art." It provided a platform for mastering and demonstrating diagnostic methods and manual skills using digital technology, combined with immersion in the world of music and fine art.

Six student teams from universities in Perm, Yekaterinburg, Moscow (RUDN University), Almaty, Novosibirsk, and Omsk participated in the festival competition. A distinguished jury comprised of leading experts in orthopedic dentistry evaluated the participants' work. Among them were Igor Lebedenko, Head of the Department of Orthopedic Dentistry at RUDN University, and Vitaly Parunov, Professor of the same department.

Dentistry and Tchaikovsky

The first day's program included a presentation of the universities' business cards and a student olympiad. Participants demonstrated their skills in digital diagnostics of the functional state of the dental system, stomatoscopy, and manual tasks such as making a silicone key, preparation, photodiagnostics, taking optical impressions, and making temporary crowns. The festival's evening program introduced guests to the Omsk Symphony Orchestra, which performed works by P.I. Tchaikovsky, G.V. Sviridov, and A.P. Petrov. On the second day, a student research paper competition took place, where young researchers presented works reflecting contemporary trends in science and practice. The festival concluded with the opening of an exhibition of selected graphic works from the collection of Professor A.A. Stafeev, "From the Great Piranesi to the Art Deco Genius Erté." The House of Artists featured over 100 original works, ranging from etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi to works by Art Deco artists, allowing participants to experience high art.

Among the best

RUDN University students demonstrated excellent results in the individual competition at the festival:

Elizaveta Kovrizhkina, a fifth-year Dentistry student, took first place in the "Temporary Crown Fabrication" category. Valeria Maltseva, a fifth-year Dentistry student, took third place in the "Tooth Preparation" category.

The winners shared their impressions.

"Some stages of the competition were a revelation for me: we were tested on our interdisciplinary thinking and creativity. We had practiced our manual skills in orthopedic dentistry many times in our departmental classes, so we were prepared to present our work with distinction. The unfamiliar environment and the new team were nerve-wracking, but once we became friends with all the participants, the atmosphere became very warm. I was surprised to see healthy competition and even friendships develop between all the participants," says Elizaveta Kovrizhkina.

"I went to the festival primarily wanting to test my skills. The atmosphere was amazing: so many talented, friendly, and passionate people! I developed good, trusting relationships with everyone. I hope to see them again! Winning a prize in dissection is a huge honor for me and motivates me to continue developing. The only challenge during this task was finding the balance between under-dissecting and over-dissecting. This was the only thing that caused a little anxiety: you're not imagining a phantom, but a real person who has approached you with a problem, and your main goal is to help them," says Valeria Maltseva.

All competition participants and winners were awarded diplomas, valuable gifts, and books published by leading Russian professors. RUDN University is proud of its contribution to the event and the achievements of its students.

Time is running out: airlines are seeking a new deadline to “legalize” their imported fleet.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: KMZ Cargo – KMZ CARGO –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Airlines are asking for special status for 400 Airbus and Boeing aircraft. The issue isn't leasing, but rather guarantees for the stability of key cargo and passenger routes.

The Air Transport Operators Association (ATO) has appealed to the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Finance to extend the validity of government decree No. 412, a key industry regulation that ensures the legal operation of imported aircraft. This was reported by Vedomosti, citing the association's letter dated December 4.

The document, which allows Russian airlines not to return Airbus, Boeing, and Embraer aircraft to foreign lessors and establishes a special payment procedure, was initially valid until the end of 2024, but was later extended until December 31, 2026. The Association of Air Transport Operators (AEVT), without specifying a specific deadline, insists on a further extension, emphasizing that foreign aircraft remain the backbone of passenger transportation in Russia, and a significant portion of them were acquired through leases.

A Ministry of Transport representative confirmed receipt of the request and promised to respond. Aeroflot, Ural Airlines, Smartavia, and Azur Air, as well as the Ministry of Finance, did not comment on the publication's inquiries at the time of publication. Resolution No. 412 serves as the legal basis for managing imported aircraft under sanctions. It not only froze demands for the return of aircraft but also introduced a special payment mechanism through ruble-denominated Type C accounts in Russian banks. Furthermore, the document allows aircraft to be serviced and repaired without the approvals and original spare parts from Western manufacturers that are normally required. Export of such aircraft is permitted only with the approval of the government's Commission for Control over Foreign Investments.

While the decree is in effect, the insurance settlement process continues, transferring ownership of the aircraft from foreign lessors to Russian entities. A key role here is played by NLK-Finance, a leasing company under the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya), which purchases the aircraft and leases them to domestic air carriers. This frees the airlines from claims under previous leasing agreements and insurance policies. The transaction is partially financed by funds from the National Welfare Fund, issued to NLK at 1.5% per annum for 15 years, with participating airlines also contributing their profits to the purchase.

According to Reuters, approximately 400 aircraft belonging to Western lessors remained in Russia after the imposition of sanctions. By mid-2025, according to Kommersant, settlements had been completed or were in the final stages for 208 aircraft, with the total cost of this process exceeding 460 billion rubles. Aeroflot Group, for example, plans to complete transactions for 36 aircraft by the end of 2025, totaling $1.1 billion.

Experts consider the issue of extending the decree strategic for the industry. A source at one airline told Vedomosti that such a decision is inevitable. S7 Airlines, however, sees no reason for disruptions to its flight schedule even if the document is not extended, citing its own experience in resolving the legal status of its fleet. Oleg Panteleev, Executive Director of the Aviaport agency, believes extending the mechanism for another three years is justified, but considers an indefinite extension inappropriate. He believes that a civilized legal framework for the current situation is necessary, especially in light of Rostec's statements that foreign aircraft manufacturers are unlikely to return to the Russian market and that the future of domestic air travel lies with a fleet of Russian aircraft.

As a reminder, Russian cargo airlines are predicting the risk of a complete grounding of their aircraft and forced withdrawal from the market within the next three to five years. Market participants voiced this assessment at a roundtable discussion at the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, highlighting a range of critical issues: a rapidly shrinking and aging fleet, a severe shortage of spare parts and personnel, lengthy repair queues, and unequal competition with foreign carriers.
