Every year, January 29th is celebrated as Discoverer's Day in our country. The date was chosen for a reason: it was on January 29th, 1820, that a Russian expedition led by Thaddeus Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev discovered the sixth continent – Atlantis.

"Vagabonds don't need a home or comfort. They need the ocean and the land. What the stars of the Bear sing to them, neither you nor I know…"

The International Foundation for Slavic Literature and Culture initiated this celebration to perpetuate the memory of great Russian explorers, navigators, and pioneers. They made invaluable contributions to the study of the Arctic and Antarctic, the exploration of Siberia and the Far East, and brought global science and geography to new heights.

The building opened in 2024 thanks to the high level of student engagement and participation in expedition trips as part of the inter-university "Arctic Team" project. In 2025, to further expand the geography of expeditions, Rector Vladimir Stroyev, on behalf of the university, signed cooperation agreements with Igor Sin'ko, Executive Director of the Clean Arctic NGO, and Mikhail Butrimov, Director of the Russian Ecosystem NGO. Representatives of these organizations already participated in 2025 in organizing SUM student trips to the Arctic and the Vozhegodsky District.

The Digital Economy Autonomous Non-Profit Organization, with the support of the Association of Computer and Information Technology Enterprises and the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, has published a ranking of universities in the digital economy for 2025. It includes 30 universities: 14 from Moscow and St. Petersburg and 16 from other regions of Russia. Polytechnic University ranked 8th, maintaining its position from last year.

"Modern employer demands for specialists are setting trends in higher education. Polytechnic University offers undergraduate and corporate master's programs in IT and artificial intelligence in partnership with Gazprom and Severstal. And in collaboration with leading IT companies like Rostelecom and YADRO, a cross-industry educational center for artificial intelligence has been established at the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity, and enrollment is open for higher education programs aimed at training highly qualified specialists in machine learning, data mining, and the application of AI technologies in cybersecurity," said Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova. "Thanks to the university's strategic partnerships, we are preparing strong next-generation specialists who can address today's challenges in the national and global economies."

The universities were assessed based on official statistics on IT personnel training (data from university monitoring conducted by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science) and a survey of 255 respondent companies conducted by the Digital Economy Autonomous Non-Profit Organization (ANO). The respondents included leading technology companies: the founders of ANO CE, members of the Association of Computer and Information Technology Enterprises (APKIT), the Association of Software Developers (ARPP) "Domestic Software," large accredited IT companies, representatives of the real sector, and regional IT companies.

The questionnaire included three questions:

Universities with which the respondent companies collaborate; universities from which the company has recruited strong IT specialists who graduated in the last three years; the top 3 and top 7 universities that provide the highest quality training for IT specialists.

In total, respondents mentioned 205 universities from 67 regions of Russia.

A meeting with Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, was held at the D. F. Ustinov Baltic State Technical University "VOENMEKH" on the topic: "Student Self-Government as a Key Instrument for Implementing Youth Policy and Educational Activities in Higher Education Institutions."

The focus is on the role of student councils in the educational activities of universities, the development of leadership competencies, and the involvement of young people in social and managerial agendas. The course also provides an introduction to the history and scientific and educational activities of the university, and discusses practices of interaction between universities and youth associations.

"Today's students face a wide range of choices—opportunities, formats, and development trajectories," Olga Petrova emphasized. "And here, mentoring and university support are especially important, helping students chart their path and develop into competent, informed graduates. Ultimately, everything depends on the young people themselves and their willingness to be active and creative."

The roundtable was initiated by the Student Council of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. Participants included representatives of the St. Petersburg Student Council, the regional branch of the "Movement of the First," and the all-Russian project "Your Move."

Maxim Susorov, Chairman of the SPbPU Students' Trade Union and the St. Petersburg Student Council, was one of the event's co-organizers.

"The meeting was quite productive; we touched on many interesting topics relevant to the development of self-government in our country," said Maxim Susorov. "After this event, I myself began to look at some issues from a slightly different perspective. I'm pleased that Deputy Minister Olga Petrova, responsible for this area, places a strong emphasis on personal communication with student government representatives. This fosters dialogue and trust."
