The 6th International Conference "Global Challenges of Digital Market Transformation-2025" was held at the Polytechnic University. The conference was organized by the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade.

The conference featured six panels, as well as a plenary session. The traditional hybrid format allowed many colleagues to participate in all planned events.

At the conference's opening ceremony, Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office, emphasized the importance of collaboration between universities to effectively build scientific, research, and partnership ties and expand the scope of activities during international scientific conferences.

This year's conference coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade, which, on the one hand, imposes a special status and solemnity, and on the other, an additional responsibility for organizing and hosting this event. "It is the coordinated work of the structural divisions, each contributing to the substantive, organizational, and informational components, that produces the expected results," Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade, emphasized in his welcoming remarks.

The conference is now in its sixth year, and during this time it has gained popularity and recognition among Russian and international universities, research institutions, and specialized organizations.

This year, we expanded our geographic reach: 18 Russian universities from six regions of the Russian Federation, as well as 18 international universities from Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, China, India, Thailand, and Uzbekistan, participated in both in-person and online formats, submitting their papers for presentation and publication. The in-person presence of industrial partners among the conference participants was also important to us, highlighting its practical and business-oriented focus, comments Olga Kalinina, Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management at IPMEIT.

For the second year in a row, the section "Current Issues of Modern Management, Economics, and the Service Sector in the Context of Digital Transformation: Theory and Practice" is being held jointly with the Russian-Armenian University and the Institute of Economics and Business. At the opening of the conference, Arman Avetyan, Associate Professor of the Department of Management and Business at RAU, welcomed all participants on behalf of the management and wished them success. The Institute of Economics and Business at RAU received a letter of gratitude from the Institute of Economics and Business at RAU for effective cooperation and the development of scientific and educational ties.

An important result of the collaboration between IPMEiT and the Institute of Economics and Business of the Russian University of Agriculture was the publication of a joint textbook, "Theory and Practice of Management," prepared by the faculty of both universities in time for the conference.

At the conference's plenary session, Anatoly Zherelo, Head of the Information Technology Center, represented the Belarusian State University, Institute of Business, and delivered a welcoming address. Olga Myasnikova, Associate Professor at the Institute of Business, then presented a plenary report. The BSU delegation also received a letter of thanks from the Institute of Economics, Mechanics and Technology for their effective collaboration.

Our department has been collaborating with the Belarusian State University for many years. Joint publications, roundtables, and sections we organize with our Belarusian colleagues on current issues in economic theory allow us to exchange experiences and expert opinions in real time, comments Svetlana Golovkina, Head of the Department of Economic Theory at the Institute of Economics, Mechanics, and Telecommunications.

The conference co-organizer, the Higher School of Service and Trade, introduced Shakir Ullah, a professor in the School of International Studies at Henan Normal University, as the speaker at the plenary session. The school organized and hosted two sections, ensuring broad participation from colleagues from Thailand, Indonesia, and India, who presented online.

The first session of the HSE "Human-Centered Technologies and Marketing Strategies in the Digital Era" focused on current issues of digitalization's impact on processes and interactions in various spheres of human activity, aimed at meeting the needs of individuals and society. A special focus was given to the key trends in collecting and analyzing big data aimed at identifying consumer trends.

The second session of the HSE School of Social and Technical Sciences, "Quality of Life: Theory and Practice in the Context of Digitalization," examined trends and development prospects for tourism and hospitality in the rapidly changing digital world. Participants discussed the possibilities of adapting traditional hotel practices to meet the needs of modern consumers focused on online services and personalized experiences. Effective methods for measuring and managing service quality, based on modern big data processing technologies, were proposed.

The Higher School of Service and Trade traditionally co-organizes the event. The conference features a broad representation of our strategic partners and a fairly broad geography of Russian and international scientific collaboration. The school's sessions generated keen interest, stimulating the exchange of experience and new solutions, says Olga Voronova, Director of the Higher School of Service and Trade at IPMEIT.

The Higher School of Industrial Management held two sections on industry and functional management.

The "Industry Management in the Digital Era" section was held in a mixed format and began with a presentation by the Institute of Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus on the digital transformation of the energy sector. This was followed by a presentation by colleagues from Vladivostok (Far Eastern Federal University and Far Eastern State Technical Fisheries University) on ensuring the sustainable development of the food industry and domestic fisheries. Representatives of Gazprom Neft-CR and Almaz-Antey VKO-Obukhov Plant also presented their practical experiences.

The breakout session, "Functional Management in the Digital Era," featured presentations from university guests, faculty, and graduate students. The session opened with a presentation by Anna Dyachkova of the Ural Federal University, named after the first President of Russia, B.N. Yeltsin, on transforming approaches to human capital development and integrating business into the educational ecosystem. Participants examined issues of intercompany coordination in supply chains, challenges of personnel management in a virtual environment, and the use of adaptive inventory management systems.

The Department of Economic Theory organized and hosted a session titled "Methodological Aspects and Best Practices in Economics in the Digital Age." Participants from the Belarusian State University, the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, and the Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology presented in person. The presentations addressed pressing issues related to the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on global markets, the digital transformation of economic systems, and the adaptation of data analysis methods to the increasing digitalization of the economy.

In addition, the conference organizers gave external participants a tour of the Polytechnic University campus and the IPMEiT building.

The exhibition "Victory. 1945–2025," prepared by the SPbPU History Museum for the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, has opened at the Grand Canyon shopping and entertainment center.

Today's exhibition marks a new step in our partnership with the Polytechnic University. We signed a cooperation agreement at the beginning of the year. The first groups of students have already completed internships at the Grand Canyon. The exhibition, dedicated to the Polytechnic students' heroism, aims to educate future generations of St. Petersburg residents. "This is our shared contribution to preserving historical memory," said Andrey Atamas, manager of the Grand Canyon shopping center, at the opening ceremony.

Artem Solovyov, a leading specialist at the SPbPU History Museum, emphasized that holding the exhibition in this format will allow residents and visitors to the city to become more familiar with the Polytechnicians' contribution to the Victory and learn new facts about their lives and scientific discoveries.

The exhibition recounts the exploits of the staff and students of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, their contribution to the USSR's defense efforts, and the development of the "Weapons of Victory." Among the institute's graduates are the outstanding designers Mikhail Koshkin, Nikolai Dukhov, Nikolai Polikarpov, Boris Malinin, and many others. Under their leadership, weapons, aviation, and transport were developed that brought Victory Day closer.

From the first days of the war, approximately five thousand Polytechnic students and staff went to the front, joining the people's militia and partisan units, while the institute's laboratories fulfilled orders for the army and the home front. The exhibition displays reflect these stories, the labor and military exploits of the Polytechnic students, whose work became part of the Great Victory.

The exhibition is open to all visitors to the Grand Canyon Shopping Center and serves as another reminder of the price of this heroic act that united the destinies of millions of people. Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared 2025 the Year of Defender of the Fatherland in honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and as a sign of respect for those who participated in the special military operation.

October 3 marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of one of the most beloved, revered, and widely read Russian poets, Sergei Yesenin.

"The last poet of the village" was born in 1895 in the village of Konstantinovo in the Ryazan province. Thanks to his upbringing in a wealthy family, the peasant's son received a good education and by the age of 15 began writing poetry regularly. After his first publication in the children's magazine "Mirok," he joined the Surikov literary and musical circle and managed to meet the leader of the Russian Symbolists, Alexander Blok, from whom he received letters of recommendation.

Having entered the literary community of Petrograd, the young Yesenin began performing together with the representative of the new peasant poets, Nikolai Klyuev, in the guise of folk storytellers, through which he gained his first popularity, including in court circles.

In 1918, he moved to Moscow and became a member of the local writers' union. There, he met Anatoly Mariengof and Vadim Shershenevich, with whom he co-authored the Imagists' "Declaration." Until the end of his life, Yesenin remained one of the leading theorists and leaders of this literary movement.

The poet's work, dedicated to the nature of his native land, love for women, and the tranquility of rural and cheerful city life, was distinguished by its vivid imagery and remains relevant today. His poems are taught in schools and set to music by renowned performers, from Alexander Vertinsky, Ivan Kozlovsky, and Muslim Magomayev to Misha Mavashi, the band Mongol Shuudan, and Bring Me the Horizon. Each of us remembers at least one line from Yesenin, which can now be seen in word clouds on screens at the State University of Management.

On October 2, the State University of Management hosted a unique meeting with renowned figure skater and producer Ilya Averbukh and Zlata Chepurnaya, director of the Star Landing project, as part of the "Knowledge.Sport" project. The event was organized by the Russian "Knowledge" Society.

The event was opened by Vladimir Stroev, Rector of the State University of Management, with a welcoming speech:

"Today we'll be engaging in dialogue with true legends in their fields. Those studying in fields related to sports, management, event planning, and more will be especially interested in listening to the guests' presentations, talking with them, and learning how to achieve success in these fields. The main benefit of such interaction is that it inspires new achievements and steps toward career and life development."

The discussion with the stars took place in a question-and-answer format. The session was moderated by Anna Khaustova, Program Director of the Boiling Point at the State University of Management, and Nikita Smirnov, a third-year student in the Department of Public and Municipal Administration.

Zlata Chepurnaya spoke about the history of the "Starship Troopers" project and the creation of the team's anthem, the importance and benefits of a healthy lifestyle, her personal experience, and her plans for the future.

"The idea for the project came to me in 2014 at the 'Race of Heroes,' when I asked myself, 'What could I do in the event of real combat? How can I be of service to my country?' And so I decided to promote sports, a healthy lifestyle, and a responsible attitude toward the planet and people. Together with a team of famous athletes, presenters, actors, and other media personalities, we host various events where everyone can test their strengths, prove themselves, and become healthier and happier," Zlata shared.

To back up her words, the guest led a warm-up session, which was attended not only by students but also by the meeting moderators, as well as Ilya Averbukh.

The next part of the meeting was devoted to the second guest. The Olympic silver medalist, choreographer, and ice show producer spoke frankly about his journey in sports and after retirement, as well as his reasons for returning to Russia and creating ice shows. But the most important part of his speech was the powerful motivation for anyone who wants to succeed:

"Don't be afraid to start doing something. The main thing is to do it. Gradually, what you need will come to you: people, resources, opportunities, results. Therefore, it's worth pursuing even the most seemingly mythical plans. Be prepared to pursue your goal, be open to advice, listen to advice, and learn new things. Don't waste time; win here and now. Even if you don't immediately become the best at something, it's not a failure, but a test of your strength, emotions, and abilities. Don't hoard your strength, and then the story of your victories will be with you."

Students in the audience also asked questions. They were interested in the books the guests were reading, ways to combat anxiety and burnout, the recovery period after injuries, and, of course, the demand for sports managers.

Zlata Chepurnaya named her favorite works about the subconscious and the universe as a whole, advised turning fear into strength, and also recommended finding a place of power where you can recharge in a matter of hours.

Ilya Averbukh, for his part, explained that it's impossible to completely overcome anxiety; you just need to train your body and mind to act clearly and correctly, despite distractions. The athlete also admitted that despite understanding the importance of rest and periodic disconnection from the outside world, he doesn't practice this in his own life because he doesn't want to miss out on opportunities and worries that it will be difficult to return to his usual busy lifestyle after a break.

Ilya Averbukh also emphasized the importance of having a professional manager for an athlete. This person helps shape the athlete's image, navigate the world of contracts and offers, seeks out interesting proposals, and is an integral part of the athlete's team.

The meeting concluded with a group photo and an interview with the guests, which will soon be released on our YouTube channel.

It's worth noting that the Russian Society "Knowledge," with the support of the Russian Ministry of Sport, is implementing the Znanie.Sport project, which aims to promote physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle among young people. Young people are taught the principles of proper nutrition, daily routines, and how to achieve victory. The project launched on September 8 and will cover all regions of the country. Events include lectures, film screenings, and quizzes.
