On October 7, 2025, a working meeting was held at the State University of Management between representatives of the Methodological Center for the Development of the KVN Movement in Higher Education Institutions (OOVO) and the leadership of the Television Creative Association "Alexander Maslyakov and Company." The meeting was also attended by SUMM Rector Vladimir Stroyev.

The delegation from the TTO "AMiK" was led by its CEO, Alexander Maslyakov, a graduate of the State University of Management's Master's program. The entire staff of the Methodological Center for the Study and Strengthening of the KVN Movement in the OOVO was led by its director, Viktor Vdovychenko, with the support of State University of Management's Vice-Rector, Pavel Pavlovsky.

"This meeting is an important step toward strengthening KVN's position as a key element of student culture. We are confident that our joint efforts will help inspire a new generation of participants and spectators, as well as create new opportunities for young people's creative growth," said Vladimir Stroyev.

The meeting discussed the development of KVN in higher education institutions, as well as prospects for cooperation and the implementation of joint projects.

The decision to establish the Methodological Center was made with the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science at the KiViN-2025 International Festival in Sochi. Its goal is to assist all interested parties in organizing their own games, leagues, and cups, training them in interactions with university administration, seeking financial support from outside universities, and determining the right direction for the development of student KVN in Russia.

The Methodology Center staff reported to the AMiK management on their progress during this period. Specifically, they reported on the development of a methodology for assessing the maturity of the KVN movement in Russian universities. The Center also held 14 online seminars attended by 350 representatives from various universities across all federal districts of the country, and held in-person meetings in the DPR and Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Pavel Pavlovsky briefly introduced the AMiK leadership to his report on how KVN helps achieve national development goals, as well as its potential as a social lift.

The Methodology Center plans to hold 10 more online seminars by the end of the year, the 5th All-Russian KVN School with the participation of OOVO staff, and the 2nd Friendship Cup of the Union State of Russia and Belarus teams. Next year, a Day of United Actions is being prepared for the anniversary of KVN at Russian universities.

The participants discussed the advantages of KVN, which are particularly attractive to students: the development of versatile personal skills, the opportunity to interact with like-minded creative individuals, and travel throughout Russia.

Alexander Maslyakov expressed interest in the results of the work done, asked additional questions, and asked to share the collected statistical materials and prepared presentations.

A merger agreement was signed between the State University of Management and the Russian-African Network University consortium. SUM became the 100th university within the Russian-African Network University.

The RAFU Consortium aims to establish a voluntary, equal partnership between Russian and African universities and research organizations in the fields of higher education, lifelong learning, and research.

Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov noted that RAFU contributes to strengthening cooperation in education, science, and economic development between our country and the African continent, and serves as a bridge of friendship for students from Russia and Africa.

The State University of Management plans to actively participate in RAFU projects to implement joint educational programs with leading African universities and create new forms of inter-university cooperation, which will undoubtedly contribute to the development of Russian-African academic partnerships and strengthen intercultural dialogue between Russia and Africa.

A new training laboratory for process control and monitoring using ABAK industrial controllers has opened at the Polytechnic University. The Kazan Scientific and Engineering Center "INKOMSYSTEM" (developer, manufacturer, and distributor of ABAK-branded equipment) donated six training stands worth 2.5 million rubles to the Higher School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management at the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity at SPbPU.

In a lecture for students, Alexander Tyaplashkin, Director of the Software and Hardware Systems Department, discussed the Center's history, products, and services, as well as its consistent approach to import substitution in the field of automated process control systems (APCS) for its customers—manufacturing companies operating in the oil and gas, chemical, metallurgy, and other industries.

ABAK industrial controllers successfully integrate with Russian top-level systems, including the Alpha-Platform SCADA system from Tomsk-based Atomic Soft, the MasterSCADA 4D system from Moscow-based INSAT, and others. The INKOMSYSTEM Research Center also works in the promising and in-demand field of APCS—open industrial automation platforms.

In September, three VShUKS instructors went on a week-long business trip to Kazan, where they studied the operating principles of industrial controllers and ABAK measuring and computing systems.

Professor Vyacheslav Shkodyrev, Director of the Scientific and Technological Complex "Mathematical Modeling of Intelligent Control Systems," said that immediate plans include integrating materials on the new equipment into the educational process. The laboratory will also offer classes not only for students but also for those enrolled in continuing professional education programs—employees of industrial enterprises.

Vladimir Chernyavsky, Commercial Director of the INKOMSYSTEM Research Center, noted: "The establishment of a laboratory with our control systems equipment at the Polytechnic University will strengthen INKOMSYSTEM's position in Northwest Russia and, we are confident, will improve the training level of our customers in this region, as they will have the opportunity to take continuing education courses on the technical and software tools available in the laboratory."

Dmitry Arsenyev, Director of the Higher School of Computer Science and Engineering and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, added: "We are grateful to the leadership of the INKOMSYSTEM Research Center for their decision to transfer modern domestic equipment to the Polytechnic University and look forward to developing mutually beneficial cooperation not only in education but also in the areas of industrial intelligence and hardware and software solutions in industrial AI, where we have significant groundwork."

The INKOMSISTEM Scientific and Engineering Center (Kazan) was established in 1991 on the basis of the NPO Neftepromavtomatika, which had been the leading organization of the USSR Ministry of Instrument Making in the field of automation of the oil and gas industry since 1959. Having maintained its scientific potential and close ties with leading design institutes, the company is one of the largest systems integrators in the Russian Federation and a strategic partner for oil, gas, and petrochemical companies.

Today, the company operates in five related areas: automated control systems, measurement systems and block equipment, analytical systems, ABAK software and computing systems, metrology, and service.

Turnover in 2024: RUB 9.6 billion, over 900 employees.
