The autumn edition of the Moscow Government Debate League has kicked off. In the very first debate, the team from the Student Parliamentary Club of the State University of Management (GUU) defeated the team from the K. G. Razumovsky Moscow State University of Management and Technical Sciences.

Our team included some of the most experienced debaters and seconds: Dmitry Osipov, Anna Smirnova, and Dmitry Fomkin. Arina Sokolova and Varvara Kruglova provided a strong argumentative foundation and performance-based presentation of the topic.

The jury consisted of actors and directors from the Moscow Theatre of Illusion and the Theatre on the South-West: Vadim Sokolov, Maxim Metelnikov, Natalia Vasina and Maria Monich.

The students at the State University of Management were assigned a very relevant topic: "The MAX Platform: A Russian Competitor to Telegram or a Treasure Trove of Personal Data for Fraudsters?" Moreover, our team was given the challenging but interesting task of proving the negative point of view. And they handled this task brilliantly!

Activists from the SPK GUU thank their opponents from the K. G. Razumovsky Moscow State University of Technology and Management for the engaging debate.

For those who want to immerse themselves in a world of debates, exciting trips, active recreation, networking throughout Moscow, and taking their first steps in their careers, we invite you to fill out a form in the chatbot and join the SMU Student Parliamentary Club.

The all-season resort "Okhta Park" hosted the Baltic Regional Investment Forum BRIEF'25, organized by the Leningrad Region Economic Development Agency. The forum traditionally served as a platform for discussing industrial policy, business-education collaboration, and attracting young professionals to the region's real economy.

Students and faculty from the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade and the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education participated in the forum's youth track. The IPMEiT student delegation was led by Anton Shaban and Natalia Smirnova, faculty from the Higher School of Industrial Management. The ISPO students worked with Irina Zaychenko, Head of the Educational Programs Directorate, and Sergei Smirnov, Head of Industrial Training.

Students solved management cases as part of the interactive event "Mentor's Day" and presented their ideas for developing the human resources and marketing potential of industrial enterprises.

Sergey Ryzhov, CEO of the MICE Market business events agency, expert council member, and program director of the Open Industry accelerator at the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, presented a master class titled "Industrial Tourism as a Tool for Implementing Enterprise Business Strategies." The forum included a direct dialogue with representatives of leading enterprises in the Leningrad Region.

The students were particularly interested in the master class "Marketing and Promoting a Manufacturing Enterprise Using Video Content," led by Anton Shaban and Natalia Smirnova, professors at the Higher School of Industrial Management. The master class was organized as a competitive team game, during which students collaborated with representatives of Leningrad Region enterprises to develop short videos to promote industrial businesses in regional and international markets. This format allowed the participants to gain hands-on experience with modern digital marketing tools and video content for the industrial sector.

Following the event, Polytechnic students took prizes as part of interuniversity teams alongside students from the St. Petersburg State University of Economics and the Higher School of Economics.

"I am grateful to Anastasia Mikhalchenko, Director of the Leningrad Region Economic Development Agency, for the invitation to BRIEF'25.
