The Polytechnic University continues to cooperate with the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU), providing methodological support and expertise to improve the efficiency and quality of KRSU's key processes in the field of engineering education.

The working meeting of representatives of SPbPU, KRSU and Geoscan Group of Companies, which was held at the Polytechnic University, was dedicated to the development of scientific potential and building long-term ties with industrial partners. KRSU was represented by Artem Belyaev, Director of the University's Technopark, and Andrey Gurinov, Chairman of the Association of Robotics, Mechatronics and Additive Technologies of the Kyrgyz Republic. Daniil Zolotnik, Deputy General Director for Education at Geoscan Moscow, took part in the conversation. The Polytechnic was represented by Sergey Salkutsan, Director of the Center for Continuing Professional Education at the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" (PISH CI), Nikita Golovin, Head of the Slavic Universities Project Office, Deputy Head of the International Cooperation Department, and Alexander Gordeev, an engineer at PISH CI.

Sergey Salkutsan presented the experience of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" of SPbPU in implementing educational solutions aimed at training young engineers capable of working on applied problems in the interests of industry and technological development. The experts reviewed initiatives implemented jointly with the Academy of Digital Technologies, including career guidance projects and student participation in applied research.

The idea of creating a single educational circuit along the line "industry – university – college – school" was presented at the meeting. Its goal is to ensure the end-to-end transfer of knowledge and practical skills at all stages of training. The participants discussed possible formats for adapting this model in Kyrgyzstan on the basis of KRSU.

Andrey Gurinov spoke about the potential that cooperation with companies and educational institutions of the Kyrgyz Republic provides. The strategic development plan of the RIAT KR Association emphasizes providing international-level service with an emphasis on the regional needs of partners. The speaker noted that, given the positive demographic situation in the republic, human resources are, first of all, the driving force behind the development of the industry in the Kyrgyz Republic. Thus, cooperation in the field of education and targeted training of personnel is the key to success in long-term cooperation.

Representatives of KRSU and GC Geoscan got acquainted with the methodological and scientific-technical potential of the Digital Engineering PISH. The guests were shown the renovated premises of the High Voltage Technologies (HVT) building, which will be used as educational and production sites.

Simplifying financial requirements for tour operators will make travel to friendly countries more accessible and safer

The state continues to support the tourism industry, paying special attention to the development of organized tourism to countries with favorable conditions for Russian travelers. The Federation Council approved changes to the legislation that will reduce the financial burden on tour operators working with neighboring friendly states. The list of such countries that meet safety requirements and are popular with Russian tourists will soon be approved by the Russian Government.

According to the new regulations, tour operators that specialize exclusively in trips to neighboring friendly states will be able to form financial security for liability in the amount of 500 thousand rubles – just like companies working in the field of domestic tourism. The new regulations also stipulate that tour operators will be able to ignore the total cost of tours to these countries when calculating contributions to mandatory funds for tour operators in the field of outbound tourism. This approach will preserve the mandatory nature of these funds aimed at reimbursing tourists and returning Russian tourists from abroad, and will also significantly reduce the costs of tour operators, which will ultimately have a positive effect on the price of tours.

"Simplifying financial requirements will allow tour operators to more actively develop new routes, offer more vacation options at affordable prices, and most importantly, provide additional protection for tourists. Travel will become more accessible, while the level of protection of travelers' rights will remain high. It is important to remember that organized tours are safer than independent trips, as they include insurance, emergency support, and a guaranteed return home if necessary," said Deputy Minister of Economic Development Dmitry Vakhrukov.

For tourists, these changes mean several important advantages. The cost of tours to friendly countries may decrease, as tour operators will be able to optimize their expenses. In addition, reducing the financial burden will help legalize part of the tourism business, which currently operates in the gray zone.

An increase in the number of companies offering organized vacations will provide greater protection for tourists compared to independent travel: in the event of flight cancellations or other force majeure circumstances, the tour operator is obliged to provide alternative services or organize a return to the home country. Each tourist will be insured by the financial security of the tour operator's liability and funds of such tour operators, and information about their trip will be recorded in the state system, which will allow prompt assistance if necessary. The transfer of independent travelers to the organized tourist flow will allow better control over the movement of citizens and promptly respond to any crisis situations abroad.

"This is an important and timely measure. It promotes travel to friendly countries, opens up opportunities for the formation of interesting, competitive price offers. For tour operators working in other outbound destinations, this is an opportunity to minimize the total cost of the tourism product, from which the amount of contributions to the FPO is calculated, and therefore reduce the burden on business," said Deputy General Director for Government Relations and Communications of the tour operator FUN

The federal law will come into force on September 1, 2025 – this is another step towards strengthening tourism cooperation with friendly countries and developing mutually beneficial economic ties.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that on the initiative of Valentina Matvienko, a draft standard for family policy in universities was developed. In accordance with it, it will be necessary to standardize family blocks in dormitories, providing for a separate kitchen, mother and child rooms. These standards have become mandatory for competitive selection in world-class campuses under construction.

Valery Falkov said that in order to increase awareness of support measures, universities have launched a "single window" format for young families, mothers and fathers with children. In addition, work is underway with the Russian Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and the Analytical Center of the Government of the Russian Federation to create a Navigator of support measures for student families on the State Services portal.

Participants of the plenary session familiarized themselves with stands with information about how higher education institutions help young families. Five universities were represented at the stands, including the State University of Management. Rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev spoke about measures to support young families and projects being implemented, in particular about the educational and enlightening course for students "Architecture of Relationships" and the 2nd International Scientific Conference "Family in Modern Russian Society" held in the spring.

"The State University of Management will significantly expand its support measures for student families in 2025. Today, we have more than 100 students with children. We have 2 mother-and-child rooms for them, and in the 4th quarter of this year, we plan to open 2 more such rooms, including as part of the construction of a new student coworking space. The total amount of payments provided for families with children is growing every year. Among other support measures, there is a special remote work program for pregnant employees in the first 3 months, an adaptation system for returning to work after maternity leave, and the possibility of remote work for family teachers," said Vladimir Stroyev.

The student conductor team "Provorny" has once again set off to explore the remote regions of our country during the work season. The polytechnicians work as conductors for the Federal Passenger Company and make trips to Moscow, Smolensk, Velikiye Luki, Anapa, Kislovodsk, Yeysk, Taganrog. They also work on the international route to Sukhum.

The season of guides is very specific. Participants and candidates are divided into small groups, on average six people, and work under the guidance of two experienced team leaders. This year, the student team "Provorny" formed five teams.

The team "Complivit Egor Vnukov" visited Smolensk. During the trip, young candidates were able to use in practice all the knowledge they had received during their training and demonstrated their skills in real conditions.

“During the long downtime, we explored the city center, visited the House of the Opposite, and looked at local attractions. We also found out who would climb the mountain faster, tried berry punch and mocha from an old machine. We held two commissariats: “Your Game” with exciting tasks and “Trend by Colors,” where each participant received their own color and created photos with it. As a souvenir of Smolensk, we took away a toy that we called Not Hehe. Now it will accompany us on every trip,” the guys shared.

Among the SPbPU brigades, one team stands out, which participates in the All-Russian Labor Project. Its goal is to improve the level of professional activity of conductors and diversify their leisure time in their free time. The VTP brigade includes ten of the most active polytechnics. The leadership was taken over by Ulyana Shtol, Egor Samokhvalov and Dima Afanasyev, who will be responsible for organizing events and coordinating the work.

"Provorny" competes with 15 teams from different regions of Russia. During the season, the guys face the following tasks: to achieve high performance indicators, including the volume of products sold and the number of hours worked, to conduct active commissar activities, to hold events for passengers. In addition, throughout the summer, many different events are held: Spartakiad, competitions for the best team corner and in the media, "Miss and Mister VTP", a creative festival and others. And in each of them, the polytechnicians will try to show maximum results.
