Young scientists from the State University of Management—Vladimir Filatov, Leading Researcher at the Reverse Engineering Laboratory, and Denis Serdechny, Associate Professor at the Department of Innovation Management—took active part in the International Automotive Scientific Forum "Innovations in Motion: Promising Automotive Platform Technologies," which took place on October 15 and 16 at the Russian State Research Center FSUE NAMI.

The International Automotive Science Forum (IASF) is a key industry platform in Russia, bringing together science and the automotive industry to address strategic challenges since 2003. Since its inception, the forum has held 22 successful sessions. It is attended annually by leading industry experts—key players such as AvtoVAZ, GAZ, KAMAZ, and Sollers—as well as industry associations, as well as the country's best technical universities and research centers.

The opening of the Forum was attended by Fyodor Nazarov, Director General of FSUE NAMI, Albert Karimov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Ksenia Shevyolkina, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Alexey Shilo, Deputy Minister of Transport, and Denis Sekirinsky, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education.

The Forum's program focuses on the most current and promising areas of transport development: electrification and hybrid vehicles, hydrogen energy, digitalization and artificial intelligence, unmanned and intelligent transport systems, applied research and engine engineering, and agricultural transport for the modern agro-industrial complex.

The "Highly Automated Transport and Technological Means of the Agro-Industrial Complex" section presented the scientific and technological achievements of the State University of Management in the field of intelligent logistics, reengineering of modern transport complexes and systems, and the integration of highly automated transport and technological means with intelligent platform digital solutions for the modern agro-industrial complex.

In his presentation, Vladimir Filatov explored the topical implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept in the context of agriculture, as well as the classification of transport and technological vehicles as IoT devices.

"A platform-based approach integrating modern technology ensures the creation and effective functioning of a modern agro-industrial complex ecosystem, combining enterprise openness to interaction with other organizations with trusted transport and digital solutions," noted Vladimir Filatov.

In his presentation, Denis Serdechny focused on the interim results of a major research project at the State University of Management, "Technological Support for Food Security Through the Deployment of Digital Platform Solutions," and outlined the key features of the solution being developed by our team.

"The main users of our digital platform are farmers, agronomists, logistics companies, wholesale buyers, and government agencies. However, to create and successfully implement a platform approach, it is necessary to organize user interaction through convenient and understandable interfaces, such as the VK MAX ecosystem," said Denis Serdechny.

Our staff's presentations generated interest among the audience and led to an open discussion.

The third ceremony conferring the title "Ambassador of Russian Education and Science" was held at the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Minister Valery Falkov presented honorary badges to eleven foreign representatives, including two graduates of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. These included Liu Wei, Secretary General of the Institute of Russia at Tsinghua University (China), and Issa Togo, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Mali in St. Petersburg and Associate Professor at SPbPU.

This award recognizes their long-standing work to strengthen the international standing of Russian education and science. The ambassadors' mission is to promote Russia's educational opportunities and scientific achievements at leading international venues.

Upon receiving the prestigious title, Liu Wei shared sincere and warm memories of her years spent in Russia: "It is a great honor for me to receive the title of Ambassador of Russian Education and Science. Developing Russian-Chinese cooperation in science and education is my ongoing mission, and I have been fortunate to serve as an envoy between our countries for nearly 25 years."

Liu Wei addressed special words of gratitude to her alma mater: "My 10 years of study at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University left an indelible mark on my life and laid a solid foundation for future collaboration. Here I gained not only knowledge, but also an understanding of a rich culture, great traditions, mentality, and profound insights. And since then, Russia has become not a foreign country for me, but a second home."

The work of both new ambassadors has been making a significant contribution to strengthening international ties for decades. Liu Wei has overseen scientific and technical cooperation with Russia since 2002. She actively developed human resources by organizing innovation dialogues, training courses for oil companies, student camps, and creating infrastructure projects such as language testing and standardization centers.

In his speech, Valery Falkov noted the growing role of ambassadors in developing inter-university contacts, increasing the number of joint projects, and growing interest in studying in Russia.

Currently, more than 414,000 foreign students from 184 countries are studying at Russian universities, and by 2030, the plan is to accept up to half a million foreign students, the minister said.

Active work is underway to achieve this: modernization of infrastructure, construction of new campuses, and the introduction of grant support that covers not only tuition but also accommodation and travel.

A 1985 Polytechnic University graduate, Issa Togo rose from the leader of the Malian community in Leningrad to the architect of Mali's higher education reform, serving as a member of the expert group establishing the new Polytechnic University. Today, as Mali's Honorary Consul in St. Petersburg, he coordinates a large-scale Russian-Malian project to build a hydroelectric power station that addresses issues of energy supply, water supply, and flood protection.

SPbPU is one of the founders and most active participants in the consortium implementing the "Ambassadors of Russian Education and Science" program. The Polytechnic University is proud that the contribution of its graduates to the advancement of Russian education and science has been so highly recognized, and now four Polytechnic University graduates have this honorary title.

Dmitry Arsenyev, SPbPU Vice-Rector for International Affairs, praised the recognition of the graduates' achievements: Liu Wei and Issa Togo exemplify the deep integration of the best traditions of Russian education into the global scientific and educational space. Their long-standing, consistent work represents genuine diplomacy of trust, where each completed project becomes a building block in the edifice of mutual understanding between nations. We see them as strategic partners whose work directly contributes to strengthening the international prestige of Russian education and science. Awarding them this honorary title is a logical recognition of their role as champions of Russian educational standards and scientific achievements, whose work forms a solid foundation for future breakthrough joint projects.

Since the program's launch in 2023, 24 international experts have been awarded the title of ambassador. By 2030, the pool of ambassadors is expected to expand to 250 representatives from 60 countries, opening new opportunities for promoting Russian education and science on the global stage.

The State University of Management has identified what prevents young people from having children and developed a tool that will help the government more accurately assess the effectiveness of demographic policy measures. The results and recommendations will be submitted to the State Duma.

The study was conducted by a research team from the State University of Management's Research Institute of Public Policy and Industrial Economic Management, led by Oleg Sudorgin, the institute's director. The project combined quantitative and qualitative methods: surveys, interviews, and expert opinion analysis.

High school students: comfort and mutual understanding

A survey of 11th-grade graduates revealed that Generation Z has an ambivalent attitude toward marriage. On the one hand, they value formal status—registration, responsibility, and stability. On the other hand, trust, emotional connection, and freedom of choice are crucial.

Young Muscovites value traditional family values but are unwilling to sacrifice personal comfort for formalities. This generation perceives family as a conscious union, where mutual understanding is more important than social expectations.

Students: A Strong Foundation for Life

Among students aged 18 to 22 at Moscow universities, the main barriers to having children are financial instability, homelessness, and self-doubt. Young people fear they won't be able to cope with the roles of parent, maintaining a family, and providing a decent standard of living. As a result, they don't abandon the idea of getting married to raise their children, but they postpone this step, seeking to first establish a solid financial and emotional foundation.

Today, for many, having a child isn't the beginning of adulthood, but its culmination, a confirmation of stability and maturity. This is consistent with a nationwide trend: later parenthood, declining birth rates, and rising quality-of-life expectations for starting a family.

Experts: Transforming the Institution of the Family

Interviews with experts show that a new cultural model of family is emerging—one that emphasizes personal choice, emotional comfort, and mutual compatibility between partners.

Generation Z is characterized by several fundamental fundamental attitudes: individualized life strategies, delayed socialization, and hybrid values. In other words, starting a family is moving from an obligation to a choice. At the same time, marriage and childbearing are shifting to a later age, and the desire for love and care is combined with pragmatic calculations and digital habits.

Research: Program and Practice

A team from the State University of Management has developed software for assessing the effectiveness of demographic policy measures. The algorithm automatically calculates weighting coefficients and shows which measures actually impact fertility and which require revision.

Based on this data, a socio-demographic passport for the region is created—a tool that allows for tracking birth rate dynamics, assessing risks, and predicting the development of the situation, as they say, "on the ground."

This approach will make it possible to formulate demographic policy more accurately, taking into account not only economic but also sociocultural and psychological factors.

Based on their findings, our scientists have prepared a package of recommendations for government agencies. The goal is to improve the effectiveness of family support and birth rate promotion measures, focusing on the real needs and values of today's young people.

The Garnet team from the State University of Management emerged as the best among the strongest student case clubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

On the first Saturday of October, more than 60 representatives of university case communities from the two capitals gathered at the FCC to exchange experiences, hone their skills, and compete in solving business problems.

The main challenge was a mini-case study from Axenix, a partner company: they had to develop a plan to increase the profitability of an IT company in 70 minutes. The GUU team performed brilliantly and topped the list of leaders thanks to their creative strategy and coordinated work.

"The forum became not only a competition platform but also an important networking event. We connected with like-minded individuals from Moscow State University, ITMO University, Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, and other universities. This helped us see different approaches to solving business problems. We hope the forum will become a good tradition," noted Yegor Zhogolev, a fourth-year student at the Institute of Economics and Finance and head of the SUM team.

Our winners received certificates and valuable gifts, but most importantly, new experience and confidence in their abilities.

Congratulations to the guys at Garnet! We wish them new interesting cases and, of course, new victories!
