Specialists from the capital's municipal services complex will update in-house gas supply systems in 467 apartment buildings. The work will be carried out within the framework of capital repair programsThis was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

"The capital's capital repair program is one of the most significant housing modernization projects not only in Russia, but also in the world. We are carrying out work to update not only the exterior of the building: the facade, roof and entrance group, but also the engineering systems. During the program's implementation, we have completed capital repairs of in-house gas supply systems in 2,343 apartment buildings. This year, work is planned for another 467, and it has already been completed at 301 facilities," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Timely repair of equipment is important for its safe operation and organization of uninterrupted gas supply. In their work, specialists use modern technical solutions. For example, they use ball valves with three degrees of protection against accidental opening. They limit the flow of gas in case of equipment failure and temperature exposure. In addition, flexible gas piping made of stainless steel with PVC coating and a dielectric insert are installed in houses. This is done to protect against external influences and to eliminate an emergency situation when stray currents appear.

Gas risers inside an apartment building are common property, so apartment owners must promptly provide specialists with access to the work sites.

According to current regulations, the service life of an in-house gas pipeline is 30 years. After this time, the equipment wears out and requires replacement.

The regional program for capital repairs of housing stock being implemented in the capital corresponds to the goals and objectives of the national project "Infrastructure for life".

Lectures, workshops and horizontal connections: the Summer Engineering and Economics School 2025 has started at the State University of Management

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On July 21, 2025, the Summer School of Engineering and Economics started at the State University of Management.

The School brings together postgraduate students, young scientists and engineers from different Russian universities for the fourth time. The School's research areas are engineering, unmanned aircraft systems, mechanical engineering, food security, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development.

At the opening ceremony, the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev said that the first School was held in 2023 in Grozny on the basis of the GGNTU named after Academician M.D. Millionshchikov, but subsequently changed its location.

"Holding the School in different cities is a positive moment. This way, young scientists get to know the country, establish connections, because not everyone will necessarily work in one place their entire lives. Thanks to this, the geography of the School itself is also expanding. Three universities started the project, and today there are seven universities. The program includes lectures, workshops, master classes, but the main thing for you is communication. I wish you a productive time," the rector said.

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Boris Chernyshov noted that the Summer Engineering and Economics School, through the efforts of the rector and management of the State University of Management, shows excellent results not only in attracting funding for science, but also in terms of specific results.

"The topic of management in science is one of the key areas in achieving state strategic goals, including in a special military operation. Associations of young scientists can become a new milestone on the path of continuous development of public administration principles. And the State University of Management in this sense can create conditions for attracting new personnel. Science is the future today, and the ability to manage it is a key factor in success in any activity. I hope that the School will result in an attempt to look into the future and suggest new solutions to pressing issues," Boris Chernyshov wished.

The following institutions will participate in the Summer School of Engineering and Economics – 2025: — BSTU named after V.G. Shukhov (Belgorod); — VlSU named after A.G. and N.G. Stoletov (Vladimir); — GGNTU named after academician M.D. Millionshchikov (Grozny); — GUU (Moscow); — DonNTU (Donetsk); — Moscow State University named after A.I. Kuindzhi (Mariupol); — NTU "Sirius" (federal territory "Sirius").

Immediately after the opening ceremony, the School's students were treated to a lecture entitled "Engineering Heritage: Russia – USSR – Russian Federation". But before that, we managed to find out from the Chairman of the Council of Young Scientists and Specialists of the GGNTU named after academician M.D. Millionshchikov Temirlan Sultanbekov, who is participating in the program for the third time, what attracts him to the School.

"The school attracts with relevant and useful lectures, interesting master classes. It is not only interesting, but also undoubtedly useful. And the program changes and is updated every year. At my university, I do not only science, and the School helps to develop various skills. And with each visit, I notice that my level of personal and professional skills, which I can apply in my work, is increasing," Temirlan Sultanbekov.

The Summer School of Engineering and Economics will last until July 25. Students will not only be able to attend lectures on artificial intelligence and workshops on the design of unmanned aerial vehicles, but also tours of production facilities, exhibition spaces, and the State Duma.

SPbPU representatives took part in the cross-university examination of the Priority-2030 program

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Sociocenter, with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, has completed the selection of experts to conduct a cross-university examination of the implementation of the Priority-2030 program. Among them are the head of the SPbPU Office of Technological Leadership Oleg Rozhdestvensky, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education Dmitry Tikhonov and Director of the Department of Economics and Finance Elena Vinogradova.

In total, 156 representatives of universities participating in the Priority 2030 program and scientific organizations will be involved in the cross-university examination of the Priority 2030 program.

The selection of experts was a multi-stage process. At the correspondence stage, the selection committee assessed the professional experience and motivation of candidates based on their resumes and essays. As a result, 225 people received an invitation to an educational intensive course at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. There, the candidates' leadership qualities, teamwork skills, ability to analyze information and formulate constructive proposals were assessed. The final stage was an online meeting with the participation of expert candidates, representatives of the Sociocenter and the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, at which five strategically important areas of modern higher education were formulated:

target model and strategic positioning; university development management; strategic technology projects and change projects; knowledge production, transfer and application system for technological leadership; leadership and development team.

After the final list of experts was approved, the Sociocenter team began the final preparation of a large-scale expert work that will cover 113 universities participating in the Priority 2030 program. From September, experts will begin visiting universities across the country to assess their condition and develop recommendations for further development.

Cross-university assessment is an innovative format for assessing the activities of universities, in which the assessment is carried out by representatives of the professional community of university specialists themselves. This mechanism allows combining the principles of objective assessment with the possibility of mutual learning and dissemination of best practices.

"This is an excellent expert tool that has not only proven its effectiveness over the past couple of years, but has also ensured the formation of a community of qualified specialists in the field of university development," commented Oleg Rozhdestvensky, Head of the SPbPU Office of Technological Leadership. "And the main difference this year is that such expert work is becoming systemic — more and more people and universities are getting involved. This is extremely important given the focus of most universities on the federal agenda of achieving technological leadership and the upcoming changes in the higher education system in the country."

The Russian Ministry of Education and Science has been implementing the Priority 2030 program since 2021. Since 2025, the program has become part of the federal project Universities for a Generation of Leaders of the national project Youth and Children.
