On March 25, students from the State University of Management took a tour of Lukoil Arena, the home stadium of the Spartak Moscow team.

First-year students majoring in "Sports and Fitness Industry Management" at the Institute of Human Resources, Social, and Business Communications learned about the media center and press box, from which journalists cover matches, and assessed the size of the VIP boxes and hospitality areas designed to accommodate distinguished guests.

The tour was part of the educational process, with the goal of immersing future specialists in the infrastructure of a modern sports facility and studying its internal operating features.

The future managers were particularly interested in the tour of the stadium's "holy of holies": the team locker rooms and the mixed zone, where post-match interviews with players take place. Finally, the students walked through the players' tunnel to the side of the pitch, and also visited the coaches' benches and the bench.

An important part of the tour was learning about the club's history. Participants visited monuments to the club's legendary founders—the Starostin brothers and the great footballer Fyodor Cherenkov, whose names are inextricably linked with Spartak's history. The tour concluded with a visit to the Hall of Fame, the club's interactive museum. This hall, housing all of the team's most treasured possessions and trophies, left the students particularly impressed, clearly demonstrating the connection between sporting achievements and sound management and the brand's heritage.

"I express my sincere gratitude to the organizers for the opportunity to attend this excursion! I would like to highlight the impeccable organization and the rich and engaging program. Events like these leave behind more than just photos, but inspiration and memories that will last a lifetime," shared Polina Zhidkova, a student at the State University of Management.

The event was organized as part of a cooperation agreement between the State University of Management and the Spartak Moscow Football Club, providing students with a unique opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice and gain valuable experience in sports infrastructure management.

From March 24th to 25th, the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre hosted one of Russia's key convention and exhibition events in the field of environmental protection and sustainable nature management—the St. Petersburg International Environmental Forum "Ecology of the Big City." A delegation from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, including representatives of the Institute of Civil Engineering, actively participated in the event.

The forum was organized by the Government of St. Petersburg and ExpoForum International with the support of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the State Duma of the Russian Federation, and the Federal State Budgetary Institution Roszapovedtsentr.

The Polytechnic delegation included SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering Marina Petrochenko, representatives of the ISI Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering: Professor Natalia Politaeva, assistants Anna Oparina and Nikita Zibarev, graduate students Polina Shinkevich, Ksenia Velmozhina, and Maria Masalova, and Associate Professor Irina Russkova of the ISI Higher School of Technosphere Safety.

As part of the forum's business program, which included more than 60 events, participants discussed the environmental well-being of regions and cities, the circular economy, environmental monitoring, water use and protection, the development of nature reserves, eco-friendly transportation, and other pressing issues.

A key event at the forum was the signing of two agreements. The bilateral agreement between Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the Committee for Nature Management, Environmental Protection, and Environmental Safety of St. Petersburg provides for joint research to assess the anthropogenic impact on urban environment components, the development and verification of mathematical models for long-term forecasting of environmental risks under changing anthropogenic loads, and a study of the potential of waste management technologies to facilitate their return to economic circulation.

A trilateral agreement between Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Committee for Nature Management, Environmental Protection, and Ecological Safety of St. Petersburg, and the A.P. Karpinsky All-Russian Geological Research Institute aims to strengthen cooperation in the development of digital projects, including the implementation of information modeling technologies and the creation of digital twins for geological exploration of the subsurface, environmental protection, and sustainable nature management. The key project of this collaboration will be the development of a digital twin of the underground space of St. Petersburg.

The documents were signed by SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, Chairman of the Committee on Nature Management Kirill Soloveichik, and General Director of the A.P. Karpinsky All-Russian Geological Research Institute Pavel Khimchenko.

The signed agreements open up new opportunities for integrating the scientific potential of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the practical experience of the Committee for Nature Management in addressing the city's environmental challenges. Priority areas include mathematical modeling of environmental processes, forecasting anthropogenic impacts on the environment, and educational activities. I am confident that the implementation of this integrated approach will yield significant results, and we will continue to actively work in this direction, emphasized SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

The forum featured a youth conference, "Sustainable Development: Scientific Ideas of the Next Generation." The conference served as a bridge between student research and real-world environmental practice.

Andrey Samusevich, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Nature Management, Environmental Protection, and Environmental Safety of St. Petersburg, delivered a welcoming speech, noting the importance of the scientific research presented for the development of an ecological future: "This is not just a youth event, but a space for development, the formation of a substantive agenda, the generation of ideas, and the demonstration of scientific achievements that shape our future. It is crucial that all scientific research and advancements in the field of ecology are understood by modern society and given the opportunity for practical implementation and application."

Polina Shinkevich, a third-year postgraduate student at the Institute of Civil Engineering, presented a paper titled "Biofiltration of CHP Flue Gases with Microalgae Biomass as an Element of Decarbonization in Energy Projects." She explored the use of microalgae biomass as a biofilter for CHP flue gases. The project examined flue gases from the North-West CHP Plant, confirming the feasibility of using microalgae to decarbonize flue gases from energy facilities.

I believe this conference is of great importance for highlighting our scientific developments, which creates a solid foundation for their practical implementation, noted Polina Shinkevich.
