The Polytechnic University held an intensive educational course "Student Design Bureaus as a Tool for Preparing Highly Motivated and Conscious Engineers" for employees of industrial partner companies. Participants discussed how design bureaus help students master real engineering tasks.

The goal of the intensive course is to introduce representatives of enterprises to the capabilities of SKB, demonstrate examples of successful projects and discuss prospects for joint work on developing the country's engineering potential. Organizers are representatives of SKB "System Engineering". The project became the winner in April 2025 competition of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation in the direction of "Student Design Leadership"Several design bureaus and engineering teams of the Polytechnic University are participating in its implementation.

"To achieve technological leadership by 2030, we must involve young people in solving real engineering problems today, at the training stage. Student design bureaus allow not only to develop skills, but also to form the right professional motivation and awareness in students," noted Oleg Rozhdestvensky, head of the SPbPU Office of Technological Leadership, on the basis of which the project is being implemented.

Head of SKB "System Engineering", Director of the Higher School of Power Engineering Alena Aleshina emphasized that SPbPU SKB is built as a multi-level ecosystem: school KBs – youth KBs – student KBs – employer. This allows us to identify talented children at early stages, support their training and involve them in project activities.

The participants of the intensive course discussed the development trajectories of student design bureaus at universities, their goals and objectives, as well as the role of an industrial partner in this system. Special attention was paid to how to establish cooperation between an enterprise and SKB SPbPU, how student projects help solve specific problems under the guidance of curators representing companies, and ensure an influx of qualified personnel. The experts also shared examples of successfully implemented projects.

The presentation session presented the areas of work of SKB "System Engineering", starting with school design bureaus and ending with the best practices of interaction between industry and the university.

The project to create a network of school design bureaus is a joint initiative of the Government of St. Petersburg and the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" of SPbPU (PISH CI). Director of the Center for Continuing Professional Education of PISH CI Sergey Salkutsan said that SHKB is a network of engineering creativity clubs based in schools. Students in grades 8–11, under the guidance of instructors, master engineering skills, work with modern software and solve real problems of industrial companies. The goal is early career guidance for schoolchildren, development of practical competencies and training of future qualified personnel for the industry.

In the X-Lab Engineering Creativity Laboratory, students learn to combine knowledge from different disciplines when solving practical problems. Senior research fellow at PISh CI Mikhail Zhmailo spoke about the project workshop, which is part of the educational program and combines design, engineering, digital manufacturing, project management, and teamwork.

Head of the engineering team Polytech Voltage Machine, engineer of the Higher School of Transport IMMiT SPbPU Vsevolod Gaiduk introduced the intensive participants to the team that develops robotic platforms for high cross-country ability and ground electric transport. Polytechnicians create solutions for people with disabilities and for firefighting.

Arseniy Klyuev, Senior Lecturer at the Higher School of Power Engineering, spoke in more detail about the SKB Power Machines — Polytech. This is a unique educational cluster focused on training personnel for the Power Machines company. The end-to-end training trajectory begins with the school's engineering classes and continues through youth and student design bureaus, bachelor's and master's programs. Senior students are involved in real engineering projects implemented in the interests of the company under the guidance of curators — specialists with experience in implementing R&D from the university and employees of the enterprise. The success of the project is ensured by coordination between the university and the company, effective infrastructure, a motivation system and corporate culture.

Director of the Higher School of High-Voltage Power Engineering Viktor Belko showed the structure of the Electrical Machines department within the SKB Power Machines — Polytech. For example, the Electrical Insulation Laboratory trains personnel in the context of growing demand for domestic technologies. The main goal is to involve students in research activities from their first years to accumulate practical experience in the field of electrical insulation and electrical machines, which cannot be fully ensured within the framework of traditional educational standards. The center, based on successful experience in fulfilling contracts in the field of electrical engineering and an established research base, interacts with industrial partners and forms flexible teams of students under the supervision of specialists from the university and companies.

Of particular interest was the practical case of interaction between the Power Machines company and students, starting from the second year, in terms of participation in the educational program. Leading project manager Alexandra Grigorieva presented the areas of work and the results of interaction with SPbPU within the framework of the Power Machines Trajectory, which formed the basis for the advanced training of junior students for further participation in the Power Machines – Polytech SKB. Students gain the opportunity to receive a scholarship, master a working profession and find employment.

The seminar participants visited the laboratories and workspaces of the SKB "System Engineering" teams and saw the students' developments. Including a racing car and a solar car of the Polytech North Capital Motorsport engineering racing team, the results of the work of X-Lab and SKB "Unmanned Aviation Systems", as well as a fire robot of the Polytech Voltage Machine team.

Russian-Armenian educational partnership: the second launch of the course "Fundamentals of project activities" with the Polytechnic University

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Russian-Armenian University in Yerevan held the final defense of student projects completed within the framework of the course "Fundamentals of Project Activity" (OPA), which SPbPU and RAU have been implementing for the second year. 20 project teams were admitted to the in-person defense, and 19 of them successfully confirmed their results, demonstrating a noticeable qualitative growth compared to the pilot launch of the 2023/2024 academic year. 17 teams showed significant product and educational results.

The course "Fundamentals of Project Activities" is part of the strategic partnership of the two universities and a key tool for implementing a practice-oriented education model. Since the 2024/2025 academic year, the discipline has become mandatory for five areas of study at the Institute of Economics and Business of RAU (economics, tourism, trade and hotel business, management) and was available optionally to students of other programs. Starting next year, at the initiative of the management and teachers of RAU, there will be even more areas of study where this discipline will be mandatory.

The second launch of the course at RAU involved 12 mentor teachers, whose training began in December 2024. RAU teachers completed an intensive course on project activity tools and mentoring of student projects, and experienced the entire process of completing the course that students face.

In February 2025, an introductory lecture was held for RAU students, where they learned about the structure and features of the upcoming course. The lecture was given by teachers of SPbPU and RAU: senior researcher of the International Academic Competence Center "Intelligent Enterprise Technologies" of the Digital Engineering School Anton Ambrazhey, senior lecturer of the Higher School of Project Activity and Innovation in Industry (IMMiT) Inna Seledtsova and head of the Department of Educational Policy and Quality Control of Education of RAU Ruzanna Airapetova.

In April 2025, Anton Ambrazhey and Inna Seledtsova visited RAU on a working visit, discussed the intermediate results of the projects with the teams and course mentors, and gave recommendations for their further implementation and specification.

A distinctive feature of the second launch of the course at RAU was the involvement of external customers (travel agency GoToDili, Green Rock, Green Training Center). The projects presented by the customers confirmed the trend that began to form during the first launch: the OPD course at RAU is capable of creating a new level and diversity of products in the tourism landscape of Armenia. Thus, most of the projects this year from internal and external customers of RAU were dedicated to the current needs of the tourism industry of Armenia, and the internal tasks of the university were also well presented as projects.

According to the results of the 2024/2025 competition, the first place was taken by the project "Conducting an assessment of the quality of education by students of the Institute of Economics and Business", completed by students of the Management program under the mentorship of the senior manager of the Department of Economics and Finance Iveta Stepanyan. The second place was taken by the project "Cultural and educational event "Russian Language Day", mentored by Associate Professor of the Department of Russian Language and Professional Communication Liana Petrosyan. The third place went to the project "Green Tourism", implemented under the guidance of the chief manager of correspondence courses of the IEB Lolita Tashchyan.

"At the last defense, seventeen projects out of twenty received high scores. It is clear that a core of motivated mentors and students is being formed. Perhaps it is the personalized approach to the team, the high involvement of mentors that is the unique path of RAU project activities, along which we will continue to help colleagues develop," noted Anton Ambrazhey.

Inna Seledtsova emphasized the research significance of the work: "It is very important that many projects have come closer to understanding the true needs of the end users of their project results: someone went with a mentor to Dilijan to talk to tourists, someone conducted online surveys with business owners and identified an unobvious need for training, someone conducted surveys among students. We still have room to grow in the quality of such studies, which are a key link in understanding the problems of the project, but the first steps in this year's research were very worthy."

At the final series of meetings with mentors, with the Vice-Rector of RAU for Academic Affairs Marina Khachatryan, with the Head of the Department of Educational Policy and Quality Control of Education of RAU Ruzanna Ayrapetova, the course support team from SPbPU recorded development vectors for the next academic year: localization of part of the educational content, adaptation of project activity artifacts to the specifics of RAU, strengthening of the internal PR course, training of new mentors in the fall of 2025 and the third launch of the course with updated materials in February 2026.

An important result of the second launch of the course was the formation of the need for independent processes for implementing the "Fundamentals of Project Activity" at RAU. If in the first launches the course was supported, for the most part, within the framework of processes identical to SPbPU, then by the upcoming third launch not only the need for content localization has been identified, but also the need for our own student assessment system, for motivating them and mentors, for adaptation to online learning, since the OPD course became RAU's first experience in mass online learning. All this will form the basis for the joint work of SPbPU and RAU in the next academic year.

More than 90 thousand quotation sessions have taken place on the supplier portal since the beginning of the year

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Almost 93 thousand quotation sessions took place on the supplier portal in January-June 2025. This figure increased by more than 20 percent compared to the same period last year, Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

"Quotation sessions are an effective tool for small-volume procurement, which is convenient and beneficial for both businesses and government customers. In the first half of the year, almost 93 thousand mini-auctions were held on the supplier portal – 22 percent more than in the first six months of 2024. The procedures allowed state and municipal institutions to save 3.5 billion rubles by reducing the initial contract price. On average, seven entrepreneurs bid for one transaction during quotation sessions, and the purchase price is reduced by 14 percent. In the first half of the year, construction and household goods, household appliances, information technology products, communications equipment and electronics were most often purchased on the portal – the total number of sessions for them amounted to almost 25 thousand," said Maria Bagreeva.

Moscow customers can purchase goods worth up to five million rubles, and works and services worth up to three million rubles, as part of mini-auctions on the supplier portal. The platform concludes contracts with both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals, which contributes to the development of small and medium-sized businesses and an increase in offers in the catalog.

"The supplier portal works like a digital store – contracts are concluded and executed remotely, without paper documents, using an electronic signature. Thanks to the resource, businesses have quick access to participation in government procurement and expansion of sales markets, and the city, in the face of growing competition, receives the best offers in terms of price and quality from suppliers throughout Russia. The leaders in terms of the volume of contracts concluded during quotation sessions in the first half of this year included entrepreneurs from Moscow, who concluded more than 48.8 thousand transactions for 11.6 billion rubles, the Moscow Region – 15.9 thousand contracts for 3.9 billion rubles, St. Petersburg – 1.9 thousand contracts for 448 million, the Ryazan Region – 297 transactions for 171.7 million and the Perm Territory – 1844 contracts for 166.1 million," noted the head of the capital's Department of Competition Policy.

Kirill Purtov.

How neural network algorithms help entrepreneurs

The supplier portal attracts businesses with the opportunity to participate in small-volume interregional purchases, high digitalization and transaction efficiency. Thanks to the online format, suppliers can often start shipping products on the day the contract is signed. The platform develops additional services using artificial intelligence – neural network algorithms help when filling out product cards, automatically determining the category of the uploaded product based on its image.

In the capital Department of Information Technology also reminded about other digital opportunities of the supplier portal. Thus, in 2022, an automatic bidding bot was launched on the resource – a convenient online tool that allows entrepreneurs to participate in several quotation sessions at once, without interfering with other participants making their offers. And in 2023, Moscow customers became able to purchase identical products through joint quotation sessions. Thanks to this, state and municipal institutions of Moscow can combine their needs and, by increasing the volume of purchases, attract more suppliers to the session. This increases competition between entrepreneurs and allows customers to save budget funds.

Moscow's contract system consistently demonstrates high efficiency. The capital is the leader inNational Procurement Transparency RatingBy standardizing procedures, introducing digital technologies and involving small businesses, Moscow government procurement ensures savings at all stages of the process.

Moscow is actively developing interregional cooperation in the field of procurementMore than 215 thousand contracts were concluded using the trading bot on the supplier portalMoscow Signs Cooperation Agreements with Three Regions

The functional customer of the portal is the capital Department of Competition Policy, and its technical development is supervised by the Department of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.

Development of electronic services for business corresponds to the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State" and the regional project of the city of Moscow “Digital Public Administration”.

Sergei Sobyanin: Moscow is the largest center for the development of creative industries

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Moscow is the largest center for the development of creative industries in the country. Cinema, music, video games, publishing, design, theater and advertising not only make the lives of city residents brighter, but have also established themselves as the most important sector of the capital's economy. Its share in the total volume of gross regional product in 2023 reached 10.1 percent, which is 3.3 trillion rubles. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about the development of creative industries in his blog.

"Over the past five years, the number of organizations and individual entrepreneurs in this area has grown by 11.7 percent and has already exceeded 113 thousand. Accordingly, more and more Muscovites find themselves in creative professions. The revenue of companies is also growing steadily: last year, the creative industries sector earned 103.8 percent more than in 2019 — 6.7 trillion rubles," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Movie

Despite sanctions and other challenges of recent years, the capital's film industry is on the rise. More than 80 percent of Russian films and TV series are shot in Moscow.

Last year, about 120 projects were filmed on the sites of the Moscow film cluster, which is 2.5 times more than in 2023. Among them are the leaders of the distribution and film platforms of 2024-2025: "Not on the Lists", "Kholop-2", "The Master and Margarita", "Led-3", "Baba Yaga Saves the New Year", "The Last Knight. Legacy", "One Hundred Years Ago", "The Flying Ship", "The Word of a Boy. Blood on the Asphalt" and others.

The Moscow Film Cluster, created on the initiative of the Moscow Government, currently unites several sites. Among them is the legendary Gorky Film Studio, where large-scale work on modernizing the historical territory on Sergei Eisenstein Street and the site in Valdaisky Proyezd will be completed by the end of the year. The modern full-cycle film factory Moskino on Ryazansky Prospekt has also become part of the film cluster. In addition, a super-modern complex has been created – the Moskino film park in TiNAO. Its construction is ongoing, now there are 24 natural sites in the film park, and by 2030 there will be 70. Any ideas of film crews can be realized here.

In addition, the cluster includes a film platform. "Moschino"— a convenient service for professionals, where in a couple of clicks you can rent a location for filming not only at a film studio, but also in the city, as well as learn about grants, rent costumes, props and much more. Over the past year, the platform has been used 1.7 million times.

In the new season of the project "Summer in Moscow" Anyone can get to know the films, the process of their creation, and learn more about the history of cinema. Guests are invited to the Moskino Cinema Park, the Gorky Film Studio, and many themed areas on the capital's boulevards.

The Moskino cinema park organizes exciting events for city residents and guests of the capital as part of the Cinema Weekend project. These are dozens of master classes, staged filming based on favorite Soviet and Russian films, creative evenings and lectures by film industry professionals, performances by musicians, plays and film screenings in the cinema of the same name.

During tours of the oldest Gorky Film Studio, you can see authentic 20th century film cameras, more than 100 rare photographs from film sets, stills from your favorite films, unique costumes and props.

IT and video games

There are over 33,000 organizations involved in the capital's IT and video game industry. Their total annual revenue last year exceeded 3.9 trillion rubles.

"The industry is developing rapidly. And as usually happens, in such periods the main problem is a huge shortage of personnel. In one of the previous posts I already said that Moscow colleges offer new

specialties, including a developer of computer games, augmented and virtual reality. At the same time, we provide support to professionals. The Agency for Creative Industries implemented 125 projects in 2024, including the accelerator for indie developers “Video Game Factory,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

"Video Game Factory" provides full support for developers – from the idea to finding investors. The accelerator holds educational lectures and webinars, Q&A sessions, and works with curators. Currently, 60 pilot versions of games in different genres have been created. Among them are a detective story based on the works of Mikhail Bulgakov, an adventure quest based on the fairy tales of Alexander Pushkin, and a puzzle in the interiors of a spaceship.

Moscow game developers have long needed their own space, so in 2025, the first video game and animation cluster in Russia will open in the Skolkovo Innovation Center. Its residents will be leading Russian development companies and animation studios. Uniting under one roof, they will be able to create video games of any type and complexity. The cluster will unite all stages of content production and promotion – from training specialists to support in promotion in foreign markets.

Residents will have access to offices, meeting rooms, server rooms, a motion capture studio, a space for sound recording, a lecture hall, a conference hall, an exhibition area and much more.

Publishing
