Twenty-five projects by RUDN University students won the all-Russian "Student Startup" competition, organized by the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE). Each received a grant of 1 million rubles for the further development and implementation of their ideas.

We'll cover all the winning projects, starting with the work of Graduate School of Management students Nikola Balev and Kirill Kovalev.

Virtual tourism

Nikola's project is the chatbot-based digital ecosystem QuestBook. The platform is a unique service of interactive digital tour routes and quests that allow each participant to immerse themselves in a captivating journey through the historical sites and landmarks of cities around the world.

The system has three main directions:

Adventure Quests offer unique routes through cities for young people; Business Quest offers corporate solutions for museums, parks, and events; and UNI Quest helps students adapt to university through interactive routes.

The product's relevance and advantages lie in its ability to reach a large audience with minimal costs, its content easily adapts to any changes in demand, and its platform utilizes a personalized approach to predicting tourist preferences (while fully respecting data privacy).

The development had previously participated in the RUDN.VC accelerator and won the StartUP pitching session.

"Receiving the grant is a major milestone for our team. The funds will primarily be used to promote the platform in Moscow and the Moscow region. Some of the funds will also be used to establish a legal entity, as required by the grant, to develop the platform's content and attract freelancers," says Nikola Balev, a first-year Master's student at the RUDN University Graduate School of Management (Tourism major).

As Nikola noted, the project team has been collecting feedback on the system for over three months, improving visuals, and adding new content to the platform. They plan to attract at least 3,000 unique users within a year and add content about other regions beyond Moscow.

"Our strategic plans for the next eighteen months also include business diversification and the creation of a subsidiary specializing in the B2B segment. We are currently conducting research, testing hypotheses and implementation possibilities, and developing the company's concept. The results are positive, and we hope to launch a new subsidiary platform by the end of the year. Regarding monetization, the project involves paying users for tours, with the price being quite reasonable and competitive in the digital quest tour market," notes Nikola.

An app for marathon runners

Kirill Kovalev received a grant for his sports mobile app project. This digital tool is designed to organize and manage mass sports competitions, especially marathons and running events. The app helps athletes track their physical activity, monitor their training progress, and find like-minded sports enthusiasts.

The project's creator explained that receiving the grant will allow the team to expand the app's functionality and implement new technologies that improve user experience. With the Foundation's support, the developers will be able to enhance the product's effectiveness and appeal.

"We're delighted that our idea has received such high praise. The funds will be used for platform development, testing, and launch. A basic service will be created with the foundation for future functionality expansion," says Kirill Kovalev, a second-year Bachelor's student at the Graduate School of Management (Hotel Management).

According to the student, direct collaboration with RUDN University is planned to attract the initial audience. The service will be promoted through digital channels and partners; negotiations are already underway.

"In a year, I expect to have a working service with its first users and partners. The main thing is to conduct a test launch and ensure the product meets the audience's needs. For me, this will be proof that my team and I are moving in the right direction," says Kirill Kovalev.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 23, 2025, the Amur Region's one billion-ruble public bond offering will begin on the Finuslugi marketplace. This is the first of four public bond offerings planned for the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) and the Arctic by the end of this year.

The funds raised will be used to implement projects significant to the region, such as the renovation of healthcare facilities, the creation of a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities, and the construction and modernization of housing and public utilities.

The bonds will have a two-year maturity. The par value of each bond is 1,000 rubles. The coupon is fixed at 15.79% per annum throughout the bonds' maturity, and is paid quarterly.

Investors will be able to tender bonds for redemption beginning January 19, 2026. The execution of a sell order will take up to four business days from the time of submission. Accrued coupon income will be calculated until the order is executed.

Igor Alutin, Senior Managing Director for Retail Business and the Finuslugi Marketplace at Moscow Exchange:

"We are pleased to welcome the Amur Region's public bonds to the marketplace and are proud to offer the market a tool that allows Russians to not only increase their capital but also provide social support by investing in the development of our country's regions. We see a steady increase in the popularity of public bonds, which have already proven themselves to be a simple and effective instrument, so Finuslugi will continue to expand their product line in line with growing demand."

Tatyana Mitrofanova, Minister of Finance of the Amur Region:

"Last year, the Amur Region issued its first exchange-traded bonds worth 2 billion rubles. And despite the fact that only qualified investors were able to purchase them, demand exceeded supply by 2.5 times. The intense interest in the region's investment instruments prompted the Amur Region to take the next step. The issuance of public bonds was a step toward those who want to preserve and grow their wealth for the benefit of their home region. This issue is not simply a sum of money earmarked for "something important," but a partnership between the region and its residents."

An agreement providing for the issuance of national bonds by subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic was signed between Moscow Exchange and the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF 2025). In addition to the Amur Region, the Magadan Region, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and the city of Yakutsk are also considering issuing national bonds on Finuslugi in 2025.

People's bonds became available for purchase on Finuslugi in 2021. Only individuals can purchase them—they are not traded on the stock exchange and have no secondary market. A brokerage account is not required to purchase people's bonds on Finuslugi: all transactions are conducted directly between the individual and the issuer. Simply register in your personal account or the Finuslugi mobile app using the Gosuslugi service.

Finuslugi is a marketplace for money created by the Moscow Exchange. On Finuslugi, you can select and open bank deposits online 24/7, take out cash loans, purchase mutual fund units, public bonds from companies and Russian regions, as well as compulsory motor insurance (OSAGO), comprehensive motor insurance (CASCO), mortgage insurance, property insurance, and other products. You can top up your deposits and accounts on Finuslugi free of charge using the Faster Payment System (FPS). The service can be used regardless of region, anywhere in Russia and worldwide.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Employees of the Civil Engineering Institute participated in the Nevsky Construction Forum 2025. The event is a key platform for discussing current issues related to the development of the construction industry and the digitalization of urban planning.

The Civil Engineering Institute was represented by Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering, Yegor Melekhin, Assistant Professor at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil, and Road Construction, and Elena Chegotova, Senior Lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil, and Road Construction and an expert in urban planning legislation, technical regulation, and digitalization in construction.

Marina Petrochenko spoke at a Smart Dialogue dedicated to the topic of regulatory requirements registries. In her speech, she emphasized the importance of the country's technological leadership in various industries and the need to improve the Federal State Information System for Labor Protection and the Construction Complex as tools for achieving this goal and addressing industry challenges. She noted that current requirements registries are one-dimensional systems based on text data from regulatory documents. However, the future lies in multimodal data management models that will enable the use of artificial intelligence to analyze evidence in various formats: text, photos, videos, audio, and sensor data.

Egor Melekhin actively participated in the Smart Cases case conference, where participants shared experiences, analyzed successful and unsuccessful practices, and identified the best solutions to pressing problems in the construction industry. In his presentation, he emphasized the need to optimize design processes, such as the classification of information model elements. He presented the development of the software product "IMPULSE," which automates the process of classifying building information model elements. The program uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, achieving forecasting accuracy of up to 97%. Egor Melekhin emphasized that AI is not only popular language models or image generation, but also a powerful tool for analyzing various types of data. The ISI team is currently working to improve the program's mechanism and promote the use of AI to optimize construction tasks.

Elena Chegotova actively participated in the forum on both the first and second days as an expert, making a significant contribution to the discussion of digitalization and regulatory issues in construction.

The forum concluded with a Smart Visit for the delegation to the Civil Engineering Institute. Forum guests were given a tour of MetaCampus, where they were able to learn about the Institute's developments. Participants also visited the Additive Technologies and 3D Printing training laboratory, where they saw cutting-edge construction technologies firsthand.

We are pleased to participate in such a large-scale event as the Nevsky Construction Forum 2025. We believe it is important not only to highlight Polytechnic University's achievements but also to demonstrate them in the laboratories of the Civil Engineering Institute. This allows us not only to share experience but also to demonstrate the real-world application of our developments, which are already changing approaches to solving problems in the construction industry. Today, requirements registers work exclusively with text data. However, the evidence base in construction is inherently multimodal. Once we transition to multimodal AI models, the verification of digital information models will not only be automated but also much more reliable. "Polytechnic MetaCampus" can become the first experimental platform for testing such solutions," noted Marina Petrochenko.

The 44th All-Russian Student Olympiad in Strength of Materials (third round) was held at the Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (NNGASU). Seventy students from 20 technical universities across Russia and a team from Belarus participated.

Saint Petersburg was represented by four Polytechnic students: winners of the regional stage: Diana Shvetsova and Anna Andreeva from the Civil Engineering Institute, and Maya Varennikova and Anastasia Ambrosovskaya from the Institute of Physics and Mechanics. The Polytechnic team was led by Daria Kitaeva, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Mechanics and Control Processes (HSMMCP). The students were trained by HSMMCP Associate Professor Elena Yakovleva and Senior Lecturers Irina Chirareva and Alexey Grishchenko.

Participants were given four hours to solve six challenging problems, each of which was assessed on a ten-point scale by a jury of instructors accompanying the teams. The problems were prepared by specialists from the All-Russian Olympiads in Strength of Materials section of the Federal Educational and Methodological Association (FUMO) in Higher Education for Major Groups of Specialties and Fields of Study 15.00.00 "Mechanical Engineering."

At the All-Russian round of the Strength of Materials Olympiad, participants competed in team and individual competitions. Based on the Olympiad's problems, the Polytechnic University team took third place in the team standings, only slightly behind teams from Bauman Moscow State Technical University and Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU). Among the SPbPU participants, Maya Varennikova, a third-year student at the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics and Mathematical Physics at the PhysMechanics and Mechanics Institute, performed best and achieved the highest result—fourth place in the individual standings. Maya deservedly won the "Miss Olympiad" award.

Strength of materials has historically been considered one of the most challenging subjects in technical education due to the breadth of the discipline and the complexity of its teaching methods. Strength of materials (sopromat) studies methods for calculating the strength, rigidity, and stability of structural elements and machine components, and it integrates knowledge from various disciplines: mathematics, theoretical mechanics, continuum physics, and materials science. Therefore, it is safe to say that Polytechnic University students are among the best in strength of materials!

In addition to the competition tasks, the organizers prepared an engaging cultural program with a tour of Nizhny Novgorod, the NNGASU laboratories, and a lecture about V.G. Shukhov—his engineering genius as an inventor, architect, and scientist.
