On October 4, 2025, students from the Expeditionary Corps of the State University of Management arrived in the village of Vozhega in the Vologda Region to carry out restoration work in churches.

On the first day, Father John, the rector of the local diocese, gave the expedition participants a tour of the village and told them about its history. During the tour, the students visited the Church of the Prophet Elijah and the Trinity Church, which was under construction. For the latter, our expedition provided two bricks bearing the name of the University of Management and the University Expeditionary Corps, which will support the walls of the new church.

Next, the children visited the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the village of Gridino and learned the history of this place.

On the second day, the students were introduced to the churches of Beketovskaya village. Their work week began there. The girls were busy landscaping the grounds of Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, while the young men took on what was literally the dirtiest and dustiest work – clearing slag and sawdust from the church's ceiling and attic.

On the third day, work is scheduled to dismantle the ceiling of the old workshop at Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral. Our students will also help clean out the interior of St. Nicholas Church.

We share the impressions of the expedition participants, this time including a master's student from the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Nikita Belyaev, ISUiP, third-year: "Every trip is a living lesson that can't be learned in a classroom. It's constant movement, new people, unexpected discoveries. It's the best way to broaden your horizons—not by watching other people's content, but through your own experiences."

Polina Gindullina, IIS, third-year student: "For me, the Expeditionary Corps is primarily about people and the road. Expeditionary life, with its simple routine and lack of convention, naturally brings people together. Shared challenges and experiences become the foundation for warm and close relationships. And so, gradually, with each trip, the team develops into a true road family with its own stories and vibe. On the road, you develop the skill of being flexible and appreciating not only the result but the journey itself. It allows you to organize your thoughts, focus on what's important, and reminds you how wonderful it is to be in the moment and appreciate the beauty of nature."

Anastasia Kuznetsova, IOM, second-year: "The expeditionary corps feels like one big family, like friends you've been going to the same camp with for years. They're all sociable, hardworking people who know what they want. It's not like everyone's on their own on these trips; we're all together, a team that works together during the day and gathers in the evening to discuss the day, play games, and just spend time together. Plus, it's great to know that you're not only having a good time but also helping people."

Kătălin Grigoryev, ISULP, first-year master's student: "I enjoy being part of the Expeditionary Corps for several reasons. First and foremost, it's a huge contribution to the development of our university's expeditions. Also, in my opinion, it's during an expedition that you can truly experience and understand how a team works and the roles within it, which is essential knowledge for future university managers."

Fyodor Gudkov, RSUH, Historical and Archival Institute, Faculty of Archival Science and Documentation, first-year Master's student: "Traveling and expeditions are very interesting to me. I've been involved in active tourism since childhood, participating in long rafting trips on the Seversky Donets River and long-distance cycling trips. I'm happy to be part of the GUU Expeditionary Corps, as it offers a unique opportunity to see my country and also to benefit society by participating in creative work. This is precisely the goal of our current trip to the village of Beketovskaya in the Vologda Oblast. I'm looking forward to new experiences, the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of cultural and historical sites, and to helping specific people. This type of volunteer work is not at all foreign to me—I've volunteered twice in the SVO zone. I hope to go on hikes and trips with the GUU Expeditionary Corps as often as possible!"

Students from the State University of Management participated in one of the largest industry events in the development of creative industries – the Russian Creative Week Forum, which was held at the National Center "Russia."

The Russian Creativity Week Forum plays a key role in communicating visionary ideas and a new philosophy for our country's economic transformation. "We are changing the vector of long-term planning and moving to a new stage—from discussions and plans to practical steps. Today, creative industries are becoming a center of gravity, shaping the cultural code and helping the country develop. This is the path to increased competitiveness," noted Forum Director Marina Mongush in her welcoming speech.

The event's program combined strategic themes: human intellectual capital, creative entrepreneurship, cultural values, and national projects.

Students from the GUU Institute of Marketing, led by Olga Vasilyeva, attended lectures, presentations, and discussions, gaining a closer understanding of the advertising industry and its current issues.

"This day showed how important it is to think horizontally—not just about business or art, but about the interactions between them, about responsibility and values. The lectures on educational transformation and public leadership were particularly impressive—you see that they're not just about theory, but about concrete projects and mechanisms. After such a day, I'm not just inspired—I want to take action," said Alisa Ben Afna, a fourth-year student in the Advertising and Public Relations program at the State University of Management.

As part of Russian Creative Week 2025, a special AKAR session, "Advertising as Part of the Creative Economy: Focusing on National Identity," was held. It became a key discussion platform for the new role of the advertising industry, officially included in Russia's creative economy. Industry experts, government representatives, and business leaders discussed strategies for advertising development in the new economic environment, identifying key growth areas: the transition to national values, the development of domestic technologies, and entry into international markets.

The students were particularly impressed by the exhibition center's layout, dedicated to the achievements of Russia's regions. It showcases innovative robotics, VR and AR technology, a modern ventilator, modified prosthetics, the world's first 5D printer, and much more, all of which make them proud of Russia's cutting-edge technologies.

"This isn't just an exhibition, but an entire space where you can realize your potential, rethink your ideas about yourself and your future, gain motivation to take action, and see that change is possible here and now. The exhibition's main lesson is to love yourself, value your abilities, and boldly move toward your chosen goal," shared Polina Novikova, a fourth-year student in the Advertising and Public Relations program at the State University of Management.

Students also engaged in a discussion titled "Russian Superheroes: Cultural Code and Potential for the Global Market," featuring writer Sergei Lukyanenko, producer and showman Gavriil Gordeev, creative industries researcher Daria Pugacheva, and other experts. Understanding the cultural code was a key topic. The speakers noted that it has not been lost, but is being sought and understood.

The Suining International Lithium Battery Industry Conference 2025 was held in Suining, China. Over 400 representatives from leading universities, research organizations, industry, and investors from China, Russia, Germany, India, Australia, and other countries attended the event. Polytechnic University was represented by Professor Sergey Kondratyev, Professor Wang Qingsheng, and the NEMTRI team.

Sergey Kondratyev delivered a welcoming address at the opening of the conference. He noted that the development of new energy sources is impossible without fundamental research and breakthrough technologies in materials science.

Wang Qingsheng, Distinguished Professor of the Polytechnic University and Director of the SPbPU Joint Department in China, presented at a thematic session dedicated to the prospects of quasi-solid-state batteries. He is actively developing cooperation between the Polytechnic University and the Russian-Chinese Engineering Institute of Materials and New Energy Sources (NEMTRI). This institute has become a significant platform for scientific research, joint projects, and cultural exchange.

It's worth noting that the conference was attended by Polytechnic University graduates and postgraduate students who are currently pursuing research at the university's affiliated department in China under the supervision of Professor Wang Qingsheng. Their participation confirmed the continuity of scientific schools and the successful development of joint educational initiatives.

The long-standing scientific friendship between Russia and China serves as a solid foundation for the implementation of joint projects. Today, SPbPU and its Chinese partners actively collaborate in the research and industrial implementation of new energy storage and conversion technologies.

It's also worth noting that a team of Polytechnic University graduates and postgraduates took second place in the finals of the Hangzhou International Entrepreneurship Contest (Brain-inspired Intelligence Track). More than 130 international teams participated in the competition, of which only 20 advanced to the finals. The Polytechnic University team presented a design for a next-generation bionic hand prosthesis.

The project is led by Professor Wang Qingsheng. It was launched a year ago in collaboration with the Scientific and Technical Center for Additive Technologies and Materials in Intelligent Biomedical Systems at the Russian-Chinese Engineering Research Institute (ETRI) in Hangzhou, with the support of Polytechnic University Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

In a relatively short time, the team developed a proprietary bionic finger movement mechanism, a control system based on PMSM motors, an electronic platform, and an algorithm for processing commands from EMG sensors using neural network personalization methods. The engineers are currently preparing a second prototype and plan to present the first pre-production sample next year.

The team's success was the result not only of engineering work but also of international collaboration. Polytechnic University graduates and postgraduate students working in China are actively developing ties between Russian and Chinese researchers.

For us, this is not only a victory, but also confirmation that Russian-Chinese scientific collaborations are capable of producing world-class results. We look forward to welcoming both experienced researchers and professors, as well as students who want to create the interfaces of the future with their own hands," notes team leader Mikhail Linchevsky, a postgraduate student at the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence Technologies at the Institute of Computer Science and Technology at the Polytechnic University.

The bionic prosthesis project is just one part of the center's broader work. Research in additive manufacturing, biomedical systems, new energy sources, and functional materials is conducted in Hangzhou and Changxing. The center's laboratories are open to internships, joint dissertations, and international projects, and participation in these projects has already enabled many Polytechnic students to begin research careers abroad.

The SPbPU team's second place in the prestigious competition in Hangzhou and Sergei Kondratyev's participation in the conference in Suining confirmed the Polytechnic University's prominent role in international scientific and educational cooperation.
