Economic Education Driver: Polytechnic University Celebrates IPMET Anniversary

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The festivities kicked off with a series of vibrant events that brought together students, faculty, staff, and alumni. And this is just the beginning of the celebration—a host of surprises and themed activities await participants throughout the academic year.

Ten years is a significant milestone for IPMEiT. During this time, the institute has become a space for active development, implementing innovative educational approaches, modern technologies, and scientific solutions. It develops competencies that meet the challenges of the times and the needs of the economy.

It's especially valuable that, as it moves forward, the institute carefully preserves the traditions of engineering and economics education established at the Polytechnic University at its inception. This is a solid foundation upon which the future is built. Today, IPMEIT is rightfully one of the leading centers for training highly qualified personnel for the development of the national economy, combining science, education, and practice.

The celebration began on March 20 with the "Day in Blue" campaign. On this day, students, faculty, alumni, and staff of IPMEIT came to class and work wearing blue, the institute's symbol. The hallways and classrooms were filled with vibrant blue accents, and photographs of the event became a symbol of unity, energy, and connection to IPMEIT's history.

The anniversary ice skating event, which has become an institute tradition, took place on March 21st. Over 150 participants gathered: the institute's leadership and higher schools, faculty, staff, activists from the Institute of Industrial Mechanics and Electronics (IPMEI) and student associations, students who have distinguished themselves in academic, scientific, and social activities, and guests of the Institute.

The event's program was packed with interactive activities, themed competitions, festive music, and a vibrant performance by Polina Chirkina, a second-year student in the International Business program. Competition winners received commemorative prizes, and all guests were treated to a boost of positive emotions and lasting impressions.

Chairman of the IPMET Faculty of Economics and Technology, Alexander Zinchenko, noted the importance of joint events in building a student community and expressed gratitude for the active participation of students and their support of student initiatives.

First-year student Vladislav Makarov shared his impressions: "This was my first time participating in the IPMEIT skating competition, and it was right at the time of our anniversary! The atmosphere was fantastic: lots of people, music, competitions, everyone interacting and supporting each other. It feels like the institute is truly a big team."

Traditionally, VTB Bank became the event's partner, for which the Institute expresses special gratitude.

The anniversary events—from the vibrant "Day in Blue" campaign to ice skating—clearly demonstrate how IPMEIT carefully preserves its traditions and creates new ones. And this is just the beginning: many more events dedicated to the institute's 10th anniversary await students, staff, alumni, and partners. These events will continue throughout the remainder of the academic year.

Our institute has come a long way in 10 years and remains a strong, dynamic, and close-knit community—not just an educational platform but also a large team of like-minded individuals. Traditions like the anniversary ice skating event help us maintain a sense of unity, support each other, and move forward together, and I hope that the new tradition, "Day in Blue," will also become an important event in the life of the institute. Exactly 10 years ago, the rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University decided to establish a new institute, which over the years has been fulfilling the crucial task of developing economic education, a tradition that spans 124 years at the Polytechnic University. Our students delight us with their successes, victories in Olympiads, competitions, and various events, and our graduates continue to support the institute and contribute to the "Economic Education" endowment fund. We sincerely thank our partners for their ongoing support and participation in the creation of modern educational programs," noted Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The results of a large-scale intellectual competition held at the Almetyevsk State Technological University "Higher School of Oil" have been announced. From December 2025 to February 2026, the university held the 2nd Interregional Student Olympiad in Fundamental Disciplines, bringing together talented first- and second-year undergraduate and specialist students from across the country. Polytechnic students Sergey Stepovoy and Mikhail Klepak won the competition in mathematics and computer science. The students' interest in the competition confirms the high level of preparation of our students.

The Olympiad aims to identify gifted young people, increase students' motivation to study basic sciences, and stimulate their creative and scientific growth. Participants competed in four key disciplines: mathematics, physics, computer science, and chemistry. The competition consisted of two stages. In the first, qualifying round, held online, students competed for the right to advance to the finals. The tasks for both stages were developed by the faculty of the Higher School of Petroleum based on current higher education programs, ensuring a high level of difficulty and compliance with academic standards.

The final in-person competitions took place in the Republic of Tatarstan. Students were able to test their skills in three subjects on a voluntary and free basis, emphasizing the humanitarian and educational, rather than commercial, nature of the event.

The success of Sergei Stepovoy, a student at the Institute of Power Engineering at SPbPU, deserves special mention. After a tough competition with representatives from other universities, Sergei managed to become one of the Olympiad's winners. The future winner was not surprised to learn about the opportunity to participate in the Olympiad. As Sergei himself explains, he learned about it at the initiative of his institute: "I learned about the Olympiad from Irina Evgenyevna Ryndina; she sent me information about the opportunity to participate."

Sergey attributes his motivation to a desire for professional growth and self-testing: "The Olympiad itself was quite interesting and aimed at testing my knowledge in analytical geometry and mathematical analysis. I was motivated by the desire to test my abilities and understand how well I can apply my knowledge to solving non-standard problems and finding elegant solutions."

Participating in an Olympiad of this level became an important stage in the student's personal and professional development: This Olympiad allowed me to represent Polytechnic University with dignity at the interregional level and establish myself not only as an accomplished student but also as a critical thinker and a well-rounded individual.

Mikhail Klepak, a student at the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity, also expressed interest in participating in intellectual competitions. According to Mikhail, his motivation for participating in the Olympiad was his athleticism: "I've always enjoyed participating in Olympiads, and I was glad to have the opportunity to continue my Olympiad activities at university."

These words confirm that the Polytechnic University provides all the conditions necessary for students to realize their potential. Our students' success is also the result of competent mentoring. Sergey prepared for the Olympiad under the guidance of experienced teachers from the Department of Higher Mathematics. The student himself gratefully notes: "My mentors were Natalya Nikolaevna Amosova, who taught me the higher mathematics course, and Maria Romanovna Bortkovskaya, who taught the Olympiad Mathematics class."

Maria Bortkovskaya, Associate Professor of the Department of Higher Mathematics, praised both the student's abilities and the atmosphere at the institute, which fosters the development of talent: "I can say that Sergey was very active as a participant in the Olympiad preparation course. He not only attended classes, but also enthusiastically participated in problem discussions and proposed his own ideas. The benefits of such trips are obvious: they broaden one's horizons and expand one's professional communication skills."

According to Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova, winning such competitions is not only a testament to a student's talent but also the result of high-quality fundamental preparation and an example of effective student-faculty collaboration. Participation in Olympiads of this level allows young people to test their skills in interuniversity competition, gain valuable experience, and establish themselves in the professional community.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Technopolis Moscow special economic zone (SEZ) has expanded its fleet of equipment for repairing spindle assemblies of CNC machine tools. This has allowed it to service more complex, high-tech domestic and imported parts and reduce order fulfillment times, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"The development of high-tech manufacturing is one of Moscow's industrial priorities. At the direction of Sergei Sobyanin, the city is systematically supporting companies in the machine tool repair and equipment maintenance sectors. Residents of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone receive tax breaks, developed infrastructure, and the opportunity to expand their capacity. This allows them not only to meet the needs of Moscow factories but also to take orders from companies in other regions of Russia, strengthening the country's technological independence," noted Maxim Liksutov.

The spindle is a key component of a CNC machine, enabling the rotation of the drill or milling cutter. Refurbishing this component extends the life of industrial equipment and improves its productivity, quality, and precision.

Shpindel Lab operates out of the Pechatniki plant. Our specialists diagnose and restore spindles and their components for machine tools and multi-purpose machining centers for metal, glass, plastic, and wood.

In 2023, in addition to “My Family,” the Moscow Main Archives Department, together with Yandex, launched a platform Search the archivesArtificial intelligence trained on archival documents recognizes handwritten texts and significantly speeds up the information search process.

View the parish registers of lost Moscow churches

Last October, the platform's functionality expanded. For example, the "Archive Search" service added an interactive map of Moscow's churches. It allows Moscow residents to quickly find parish registers for a specific parish and period. Until 1918, birth, death, and marriage records were entered into these documents, so they remain one of the primary sources of information about previous generations.

The map shows not only existing churches but also lost ones in Moscow—for example, the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Sapozhok. Users can open the site card and select the parish registers for the desired period. These documents can reveal, for example, the exact date of birth of a great-grandmother and great-grandfather, where they were married, and the names of their parents.

Online services significantly speed up the process of finding the necessary information, and neural networks help recognize complex handwriting, converting handwritten documents into digital format. Now, to learn your family history, you don't need to sign up for an archive reading room. Simply read the detailed information. instructions For online users, posted on the official website of the Main Archives of Moscow, to understand what data is needed to search for relatives.

Innovations in Preserving History: Moscow's Main Archives Turns 63 "Archive Search" combines historical documents with a map of Moscow.

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has developed a laser cladding technology for restoring sealing and working surfaces of pressure-sensitive equipment. The project was implemented by specialists from the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport.

The development is aimed at restoring the sealing and working surfaces of equipment operated under pressure, primarily pipeline valve flanges.

The work was carried out as part of a research project dedicated to increasing the service life and reliability of industrial equipment. The study involved samples of 09G2S, 15Kh5M, and 12Kh18N10T steel, as well as prototype flanges for equipment and pipelines.

In the current environment, the issue of technological sovereignty in the oil, gas, and energy industries is more pressing than ever. Our engineers' development is a direct response to the challenge of import substitution. Laser cladding allows for the restoration of critical pipeline valve assemblies to as-new condition, ensuring Russian companies' complete independence from foreign service solutions and spare parts, shared Anatoly Popovich, Director of the Institute of Metallurgical Engineering and Technology.

The key objective of the project was to develop technological solutions that would effectively restore worn surfaces with minimal allowance for subsequent machining, without the need for complete replacement of parts. This approach significantly reduces operating costs and improves the cost-effectiveness of equipment repair.

During the research and development work, laboratory specialists completed a full cycle of technological and experimental studies. Specifically, they developed a laser cladding technology for six base metal–cladding material combinations, covering the most common restoration scenarios. For each pair of materials, laser cladding samples were produced, followed by a series of mechanical tests.

Particular attention was paid to the corrosion resistance of the fusion zone and deposited coatings. Tests were conducted for various types of corrosion, including general, pitting, intergranular, and stress corrosion. The practical significance of the work was confirmed by testing the developed modes on flange prototypes.

"We're focused on developing technologically proven solutions that can be implemented in industrial practice. Laser cladding allows us not only to restore the geometry of parts but also to create coatings with specified performance properties," noted Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory at IMMIT SPbPU.

Based on the results of the work, a list of recommended equipment for implementing laser cladding technology in industrial conditions was compiled, and process maps and recommendations for restoring the sealing surfaces of flanges of vessels, apparatuses, and pipelines were developed.
