On November 20, the State University of Management's Higher School of Business and Technology participated in the second National Forum on Continuing Education, "People and Competencies of the New Era," held at the Higher School of Economics.

The discussions focused on a human-centered approach, government strategies for continuing education, and the role of artificial intelligence. Forum participants identified new vectors for educational development in the era of technological change, agreeing that the traditional business education model is no longer adequate.

At the plenary session, "Humanity Under Pressure from Technology: How Workers Can Survive in the Labor Market," the idea was voiced that the only sustainable strategy is continuous learning with an emphasis on soft skills that are currently inaccessible to artificial intelligence: critical thinking, leadership, and project management.

Maria Lazareva, Deputy Director of the Higher School of Business and Technology, represented the State University of Management at the forum and spoke at a specialized panel. The expert noted that business schools play a key role in building competencies for the economy of the future:

"Their new role is not to be knowledge providers, but integrators and designers of educational pathways. We act as a bridge between rapidly evolving business demands and individual specialists who want to remain in demand."

Dmitry Bryukhanov, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, previously stated that training managers today requires a fundamentally different approach:

"At the State University of Management's Higher School of Business and Technology, we are revising our programs, making them flexible and personalized. We are introducing modules on artificial intelligence, sustainable development, and managing under uncertainty. Our goal is to graduate leaders who not only adapt to change, but also utilize new technologies as a tool for value creation and are capable of leading teams in a constantly changing world."

This position confirms a general trend: business education leaders are taking on the responsibility of developing a new generation of managers capable of working effectively in the economy of the future, where technology creates challenges but also opens up new opportunities.

The Polytechnic University celebrated the grand opening of a new space—the media lab of the SPbPU Student Media Center "Polymer." The students recently won a grant to implement the project "Multi-Level Mentoring System 'Community Trajectory'"—a total of 2.8 million rubles (2.3 million rubles from the grant and 500,000 rubles from co-financing). Using the allocated funds, student activists renovated the space, which is used for working on media projects. The equipped space will allow them to create information products that will shape the image of the Polytechnic University.

Over the course of two years, student activists and student leaders who are passionate about revealing the Polytechnic University in a new light through the lens of media are planned to be involved in the implementation of various projects.

The opening ceremony was attended by Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security; Marianna Dyakova, Head of the Public Relations Department; and Zlatoslava Pod'yanova, Head of the St. Petersburg student media outlet "Campus on the Neva."

Tatyana Panuriy, editor-in-chief of the Polimer media center, discussed the center's work and plans, including columns published with the support of Rosmolodezh, projects implemented jointly with the Public Relations Department, and the media center's future direction.

The platform is designed to implement projects aimed at revealing the life of the Polytechnic University and its students. Currently, 33 posts have been published under the Rosmolodezh hashtag in the VKontakte group and 25 posts in the media center's Telegram channel. Posts related to the renovation and equipment of the Medialab facility are also planned.

The team chose a specific shade of gray for the walls, making them ideal as a backdrop for filming. The space is equipped with individual workstations and video recording areas.

In working with the new space, students will implement a collaborative approach: activists from the media center and other Polytechnic associations will be involved in each project from start to finish. This includes discussing the necessary resource support (script, filming, editing, or full production), determining the project's positioning (joint or supported), defining roles, implementation, and more.

The students hope that the renovated space and its capabilities will make the process of creating student content about the Polytechnic significantly easier and more effective.

A working meeting between representatives of the World Intellectual Property Organization and the university's management was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The discussion focused on the development of the regional IP ecosystem and the identification of new areas for joint project and analytical work. The event emphasized the university's key role as a driver of technological development and a center of excellence in intellectual asset management.

The meeting was a logical continuation of many years of fruitful cooperation, within which SPbPU successfully operates a first-level Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC)—a leader in the all-Russian ranking of such structures.

In his opening remarks, SPbPU First Vice-Rector and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vitaly Sergeev highlighted the university's systematic approach to integrating science and IP rights: "For a modern research university, intellectual property is not just a formality, but a fundamental asset that requires professional management at all stages—from fundamental research to commercialization. Our goal is to create an environment where every scientist and developer will see IP tools not as a barrier, but as a powerful catalyst for implementing their developments in the real economy."

Pavel Spitsyn, Director of the WIPO Office in the Russian Federation, noted the strategic importance of cooperation with leading universities. He stated that regional competence centers, such as the TISC at SPbPU, are critical nodes in the global innovation infrastructure. Their work directly impacts the integration of national scientific achievements into the international intellectual property system. Spitsyn emphasized the significant potential for developing joint educational and analytical programs aimed at training personnel capable of working with IP at an advanced level.

Natalia Leontieva, Head of the SPbPU Research Projects and Programs Support Department, spoke about the Center's practical work and promising areas: "The popularization of intellectual property knowledge has now gone far beyond seminars. We are talking about building a comprehensive support system where information resources, patent law expertise, and mentoring support are combined for specific research teams. Holding over 60 events annually is not just a statistic, but a reflection of the growing demand from the scientific community for in-depth, specialized knowledge in IP."

Ismail Kadiev, Director of the Center for Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer at SPbPU, emphasized the importance of metrics and efficiency: "Our TISC's leadership in the national rankings for five years is an indicator of the sustainability of the model we've built. However, the focus is currently shifting to the quality and depth of IP portfolio development. We are committed to developing predictive analytics tools that will enable us to assess the commercial and scientific potential of IP assets at early stages, a global trend in innovation management."

A WIPO delegation visited Technopolis Polytech, a unique venue where breakthrough scientific and educational technologies are transformed into ready-made engineering solutions for industry.

During the visit, the guests also learned about the work of the university's leading scientific and educational centers. At the Polytechnic Supercomputer Center, delegates were shown how modern computing power is used to solve complex research problems, including big data modeling and analysis for projects related to the creation and management of intellectual property.

WIPO representatives also visited the SPbPU Open Education Center, where they discussed current trends in online learning and the potential for developing massive open online courses on intellectual property, which opens new horizons for educational work.

A visit to the technology park and key university centers clearly demonstrated how intellectual property rights generated in university laboratories become the foundation for the creation of new high-tech companies and teams.

The World Intellectual Property Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible international intellectual property system. The WIPO office in Russia was opened in Moscow in 2014.

SPbPU is one of Russia's leading technical universities, and has hosted a first-level Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC) since 2015. The center provides inventors and developers with free access to patent and non-patent resources and conducts extensive educational outreach.

For the second year, the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking agency, which publishes a family of international university rankings, together with the American Schmidt Science Fellows foundation, has published a ranking assessing the effectiveness of universities in interdisciplinary research – THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026 (ISR).

This year, Polytechnic University is featured in this ranking for the first time and immediately entered the top 400 universities worldwide for interdisciplinary research. Among Russian universities, SPbPU shares 10th and 11th place with Kazan Federal University. A total of 1,267 higher education institutions worldwide participated in this year's ranking, including 51 from Russia.

"Our university emphasizes interdisciplinary research as a driver of progress and the formation of the university of the future. Innovative projects such as the high-tech production of power engineering components demonstrate the synergy of competencies in digital modeling, materials science, and energy. Polytechnic University also promotes interdisciplinary approaches in education. The MetaCampus Polytechnic University virtual system creates the conditions for acquiring comprehensive skills in digital technologies, architecture, and management. These are just a few examples reflecting the university's high level of technological development and motivating teams from various fields to unite to create world-class developments," commented SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

In today's world, scientific breakthroughs rarely occur in a narrow, isolated field. It is at the intersection of disciplines that the most daring ideas and solutions are born. Interdisciplinary research at our university is not just a trendy trend, but a fundamental principle that allows us to create synergies and open new horizons, noted Vice Rector for Human Resources Maria Vrublevskaya.

The ISR methodology is based on an analysis of 11 indicators divided into three groups corresponding to the life cycle of a research project: inputs (19% of the total weight), ongoing activities (process, 16% of the total weight), and outputs (65% of the total weight). Within these groups, indicators such as funding for interdisciplinary research, including from industry, administrative support and promotion, as well as the quantity and quality of cross-disciplinary scientific publications were assessed.
