A meeting of the Council of Vice-Rectors for Youth Policy and Educational Activities of Universities of the Novosibirsk Region was held at NSU on March 18. The meeting discussed current issues of volunteer work, military-patriotic education, and the development of youth entrepreneurship.

In his welcoming address, NSU Rector and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Pyshny noted that youth policy has recently become increasingly important, acquiring national significance. Vice-rectors for youth policy and educational activities are at the forefront of student engagement. Universities in the Novosibirsk region have accumulated extensive experience in this area.

"You are now becoming not only the organizers of the educational process, but also the force that determines youth engagement policy. For this work to be effective, it's important to view young people not as objects of influence, but as full partners, engaging the active student body in your work. It will be much easier for them to work with their peers than for older generations, because they understand what we might not expect, and they are the ones who will be able to find the right words and the right approaches to their peers," Dmitry Pyshny told the vice-rectors.

Svetlana Korolkova, Deputy Head of the Youth Policy Department of the Novosibirsk Region (NSO), spoke to those present about current youth policy challenges. She explained how volunteer and volunteer activity is analyzed on the platform. Dobro.rfCurrently, 17 Novosibirsk region universities are registered on the platform. Their activity on the platform is assessed based on three key indicators: the number of events organized, the number of volunteers involved, and the number of hours volunteered. Svetlana Korolkova noted that the platform is currently imperfect, as it does not allow for a comprehensive analysis of university activities in this area, and assessing only three key indicators is insufficient.

She also emphasized that achieving high results in the development of volunteer and volunteer activities by universities is difficult without building effective channels: no matter how active the volunteer corps is, achieving high efficiency without the participation of department heads is problematic.

Svetlana Korolkova proposed that the vice-rectors focus their efforts on developing student tourism. The first introductory webinar was held in March of this year, attended by nine universities in the Novosibirsk region. It was noted that the strongest tourism clubs are organized at Novosibirsk State University and Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University. A proposal was made to organize an inter-university event as part of this effort. The next webinar will take place in the coming days. The information presented during this training session will help those interested in starting a student tourism club from scratch.

In her speech, Svetlana Korolkova mentioned the large-scale project "Yunost.art Art Residency," which received support from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) as part of the national project "Youth and Children." It was made possible by the region's victory in the All-Russian competition for comprehensive youth policy development programs, "Region for the Young." This offsite event will be held from April 18 to 22 at the Oleg Koshevoy Educational Park. Young people aged 18 to 35 are welcome to participate. The program will cover several areas: theater, music, fine arts, architecture, photography, video, and art management. The best projects emerging from this session will receive comprehensive resource support for their further implementation. Applications will be accepted until April 5, and NSU students are invited to participate in this creative event.

Tatyana Lukina, Vice Rector for Youth Policy and Educational Work at Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, discussed tools for developing volunteerism at a higher education institution. She believes that successful development of the volunteer movement at the university requires creating a supportive environment where everyone feels part of a team. This can be achieved by holding events that foster connections between volunteers and create a comfortable working atmosphere. It's crucial to establish a clear organizational structure and formulate clear rules. It's crucial to provide volunteers with a variety of job openings and opportunities so they can choose a direction that matches their interests and skills. Young people should also be provided with opportunities to participate in regional and national projects and build a system of support and recognition. Developing leadership and initiative also contributes to the effectiveness of this work.

Elena Vovk, Vice Rector for Youth Policy at the Siberian University of Consumer Cooperatives, shared her experience organizing a military-patriotic club. The "Bars" military-patriotic club opened at the university last November, but its cadets have achieved remarkable results in such a short time thanks to their participation in a number of military-patriotic and military-sports events at both the city and interuniversity levels.

"The club's main focus is law enforcement. This is not surprising, as our university's law faculty is the largest, and the largest number of students are enrolled in the Law Enforcement program," said Elena Vovk.

Vyacheslav Gorchakov, curator of the federal youth entrepreneurship development program "I'm in Business" in the Novosibirsk Region, spoke about the implementation of the federal youth entrepreneurship development program at Novosibirsk universities. This program aims to create and nurture a new generation of leaders, mentors, and individuals who will create projects and develop businesses within the region.

"Seventy-two regions of the Russian Federation are participating in the program, with the Novosibirsk Region being a key one. The importance of our large-scale project is demonstrated by the fact that 47% of young people under 25 want to become entrepreneurs, but only 27% positively assess the opportunities for self-fulfillment in their region," explained Vyacheslav Gorchakov.

He also discussed the program's implementation logic, key events, and educational tracks for Season 9, which includes a four-week module for project team mentors, an educational entrepreneurship game at universities, an eight-week training module within the federal "I'm in Business" program, and other activities aimed at developing entrepreneurial skills and creating successful commercial projects.

Vice-Rector for youth policy and educational work of NSU Olga Yakovleva invited the International Friendship Clubs of Novosibirsk universities to participate in the annual International Youth Forum "Interweek," which will be held at NSU in late April 2026.

"The forum's events, held during the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, are aimed at fostering youth in the spirit of interethnic friendship, as well as fostering dialogue and mutual understanding. Possible formats for participation include organizing an interactive platform in the tent city and participating in the concert program on the International Arbat, as well as university sports teams participating in the InterGames Student Sports Festival," explained Olga Yakovleva.

Employees Center for Artificial Intelligence of Novosibirsk State University (CAI NSU) Received a state registration certificate for a mathematical model of a heating network designed to analyze and optimize the operation of heating systems. The new tool will enable more accurate predictions of emergency situations in infrastructure operation, reduce energy losses, and improve the efficiency of utility system management.

The development is a so-called model heating network—a digital object that can be used to test various calculation and control algorithms without risking real-world assets. This model is not tied to a specific city, but reproduces the key characteristics of real-world heating systems.

"This is a kind of virtual testing ground where we test various approaches to calculating and analyzing heating networks. It allows us to study processes that are difficult or expensive to investigate in real-world conditions, as well as conduct initial testing of the solutions our developers are developing," explained Alexander Dekterev, head of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS and senior researcher at the NSU Center for Innovative Research.

Furthermore, using this model network, scientists create extensive databases reflecting the system's behavior under various scenarios—from changing weather conditions or network loads to various emergency situations. This data is then used to train neural networks, which can then quickly predict the state of the heating network and offer optimal solutions to operators.

"As we know, before using a neural network on real utility infrastructure facilities, where it can quickly assess how the system is changing and the consequences of such changes for both the heat supplier and the consumer, it needs to be trained. Our model network is well suited to this task, as it has sufficient databases of both normal operating conditions and emergency scenarios," Dekterev noted.

We previously reported that the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center, in collaboration with the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Department of Energy and Water Supply," is implementing a project to digitalize the heating system in the Sovetsky District of Novosibirsk. As part of this project, a digital model of a specific network section is being created (Figure 2), which will enable real-time monitoring of operating parameters, leak detection, and prediction of potential accidents.

Such solutions are particularly in demand in the housing and utilities sector, where deteriorating infrastructure is coupled with the need for uninterrupted supply to consumers. The use of digital models and artificial intelligence algorithms allows not only for faster response to emergency situations but also for proactive prevention, reducing repair and maintenance costs.

The patent awarded marks an important milestone in the NSU Center for Information Technologies' work in this area: the creation of a universal model for developing methods for analyzing and managing utility infrastructure. The next step will be the development of digital twins for specific heating networks, taking into account their individual characteristics.

According to the developers, in addition to the joint project with FSUE UEV, a similar project is expected to launch this year with the participation of the Novosibirsk mayor's office. The technology could potentially be scaled up to other cities. This will improve the reliability of heat supply, reduce energy losses, and make urban infrastructure management more efficient.

Novosibirsk State University (NSU) and Tomsk State University (TSU) have signed a strategic partnership agreement. These two leading Russian research universities are combining their unique expertise to implement joint projects at the intersection of medicine, chemistry, and biology—from fundamental research to the development of new drug prototypes, biocompatible materials, and agricultural biotechnology.

Main areas of cooperation:

The launch of networked master's degree programs will allow students from NSU and TSU to take laboratory practicals at the resource centers of both universities. Joint laboratories will be established using the infrastructure of the TSU Shared Use Center and the NSU Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies. Joint research teams will be formed to participate in grant competitions from the Russian Science Foundation, the Ministry of Education and Science, and the federal program "Priority-2030" in priority areas in biotechnology, chemistry, biology, psychology, and other fields. Exchanges of students, graduate students, and young scientists will be organized, and research internships will be organized.

"NSU has historically had a strong school of biology and biotechnology, reinforced by its proximity to the institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. TSU, in turn, is one of the strongest centers of fundamental and applied chemistry in the country. Combining these competencies creates the opportunity to create products that cross disciplines. We plan not only joint research but also the training of a new type of personnel: chemists with a deep understanding of biological processes and biologists skilled in modern methods of chemical synthesis," commented NSU Rector and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Pyshny.

TSU Rector Eduard Galazhinsky noted the synergistic effect of combining efforts:

We already have successful examples of collaboration with our Novosibirsk colleagues. Now we're taking this to a systemic level. Tomsk State University has a unique instrumentation base for studying the structure of matter, and NSU has cutting-edge developments in genetic technology. Together, we can implement the full research cycle: from the idea to a finished prototype in demand by the real economy.

NSU and TSU are among Russia's leading research universities, and both are participants in the federal program "Priority 2030." They occupy top positions in the quality of training in chemistry and biology.

From March 16 to 20, Senior Research Fellow NTI Center for New Functional Materials (CNFM) of NSU Sergey Chupin and Denis Kozlov, Director of the NSU Center for Scientific Physics and Mathematics, visited Kaliningrad and the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU), where they conducted research and discussed the prospects for the industrial implementation of MWCNT-containing materials with Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University Rector Maxim Demin and Pavel Pogrebnyakov, Director of the innovative enterprise Ampertex.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are a unique allotrope of carbon. Even small additions of this substance to a wide variety of materials can impart new, unique properties. NSU's Center for Scientific Physics and Mathematics is developing methods for introducing MWCNTs into materials and studying how this changes their properties.

"Our university's new campus plans to significantly expand research in polymer, composite, and functional nanomaterials, as well as in chemical power sources using MWCNTs. Therefore, our collaboration with NSU is important to us," said Maxim Demin during a tour of the IKBFU campus under construction.

Pavel Pogrebnyakov noted that his company, Ampertex, which produces unique products based on polymer conductive threads with carbon nano-additives, is interested in the prospects of using MWCNTs as such nano-additives.

"Following the visit, we plan to sign a consortium agreement between NSU and the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in the field of 'Modeling Technologies and Development of New Functional Materials with Predetermined Properties,' as well as conduct research and development work jointly with Ampertex," commented Denis Kozlov.

The Novosibirsk State University Startup Studio, with the support of the Koyon investment syndicate and the NSU University Startup Studio Fund, is launching the first course beyond the Urals to train venture analysts specializing in deep technology. The course is free, and the pilot program will include up to 20 NSU students. Once the course launches and the training mechanics are refined, it has the potential to be replicated at other universities with university startup studios. All course graduates will receive job offers from the NSU Startup Studio and partner investment funds.

In 2025, Novosibirsk State University became one of six universities to win a prestigious federal competition to create university startup studios, which was held by the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs (FIEP) of the RUSNANO Group and the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. Over the next three years,NSU Startup Studiowill allocate over 360 million rubles to launch and develop innovative enterprises. Therefore, one of the key current objectives is to increase the number and quality of projects participating in NSU's acceleration programs.

The NSU Startup Studio works with projects not only from Novosibirsk State University but also from other regional institutes. This year, it is expected to see over 100 projects from NSU employees alone.

"Before licensing a development or technology, making it patentable, and marketing it, it first needs to be developed. We are faced with the task of identifying the intellectual property of NSU's existing inventions, testing their commercializability, and assessing their potential market demand. For this, we need venture analysts," said Evgeny Ivanov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the NSU University Startup Studio.

The Urals region currently lacks a comprehensive educational program for training venture analysts. Typically, specialists who invest in startups and rapidly growing companies learn the basics of this profession through practical experience. NSU requires venture analysts with specific skills—those who understand "deep technologies" (DeepTech), that is, technological solutions based on innovation or scientific advances. At Akademgorodok, the main product is knowledge and inventions, so one of the key tasks of such an analyst is immersion in a particular high-tech industry, the ability to evaluate developments, and distinguish genuine technology with potential for development from counterfeit.

The NSU Startup Studio course consists of two major sections. The first, a theoretical, distance-learning course, is divided into four levels and involves independent study of materials, primarily in English. Each section includes assignments that must be completed and serve as a form of midterm assessment. A key element emphasized by the course's authors is an unconventional approach to problem solving. The theoretical section begins on March 30 and ends on August 30, with a break for summer vacation.

Those who successfully complete this stage move on to the practical offline block. It begins in September, when course participants work with real startups that won the federal student project competition and received a 1 million ruble grant, as well as projects from NSU's Catalyst acceleration program. Here, students put their knowledge and skills to the test by analyzing real projects, preparing investment reports, and participating in team selection.

"On the one hand, this approach will allow us to improve the quality of the startups that go through the Catalyst acceleration program, and university startups in general. On the other hand, we will prepare the students who will go on to work for investment funds that select potential projects for investment," added Evgeny Ivanov.

Students from any year and any field of study are welcome to apply for the course. A high level of English proficiency is the primary requirement, as most venture capital investment materials are presented in English. A certain degree of flexible thinking is also required. The organizers expect to recruit a pilot group of up to 20 people.

Venture analysts must possess knowledge in a variety of areas, including financial management, business modeling, marketing, market analysis, interviewing skills, information retrieval, public data research (i.e., conducting due diligence), working with intellectual property, and patenting. Typically, each venture analyst defines a niche specialization, i.e., the solutions they will evaluate—for example, organic and low-volume chemistry, new materials, etc. Thanks to its extensive practical training, Startup Studio expects to prepare such specialists with a broad range of knowledge and skills within one year.

All successful course participants will receive certificates from the NSU Startup Studio and a job offer from the NSU Startup Studio or the Koyon investment syndicate. Graduates will also have the opportunity to continue their professional careers at one of the partner funds in another city—Moscow, St. Petersburg, or Kazan.

"Once we've refined the mechanics of training venture analysts, we can roll out this course to other startup studios established at other universities. The shortage of personnel with entrepreneurial skills and investment knowledge is a widespread problem," concluded Evgeny Ivanov.

At Novosibirsk State University, for the first time, two teachers of the Jurisprudence program Faculty of Economics (EF) Ekaterina Shekhtman and Mikhail Morozov were awarded the title of "Industrial Associate Professor at NSU." This title is awarded to specialists with extensive experience in the real sector of the economy, who actively participate in the educational process and help develop practice-oriented education at the university.

Ekaterina Shekhtman is a senior lecturer at the NSU Faculty of Economics, a patent attorney for the Russian Federation and the Eurasian Patent Office, and a specialist with over 20 years of experience in intellectual property. She graduated from the NSU Faculty of Economics with a degree in jurisprudence and also earned a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Turin, Italy.

Today, Ekaterina Lvovna heads the Shekhtman law firm and represents clients in court, including the Intellectual Property Court and the Patent Dispute Chamber. Her clients include major Russian companies such as Sibirsky Gurman, TION, BKS, and others. She is also actively involved in the development of legal education: she teaches at Novosibirsk State University, co-authored an online course on intellectual property, and is involved in the implementation of a master's program related to the legal protection of intellectual property.

Mikhail Morozov is a recognized expert in Russia in the field of arbitration procedural law and alternative dispute resolution. He has served as an arbitrator for over 25 years, and has handled over 2,500 cases.

He is the founder and director of the ANO "Center for Arbitration Proceedings," one of the oldest arbitration courts in Russia, and the creator of the "National Arbitration Chamber" association, which unites arbitration courts across the country. Under his leadership, innovative approaches to dispute resolution were introduced, including the use of online tools, and the center itself is among the largest in terms of the number of cases handled.

Mikhail Morozov participated in the development of arbitration legislation, is the author of over 60 scientific papers, and regularly speaks at national and international conferences. He has received several awards, including the title of "Honored Lawyer of the Novosibirsk Region."

He actively shares his practical expertise with NSU students:

"I've always tried to impart abstract knowledge to students, rather than engage them in solving specific, sometimes complex, problems, demonstrating how to apply the acquired knowledge in practice," notes Mikhail Morozov. "This makes the lessons engaging, and they develop an understanding that even unusual problems can be solved."

According to him, the award of the title of Industrial Associate Professor reflects the university's approach:

“This is a recognition that NSU is focused on practice, not on the transfer of ‘bare’ knowledge.

Speaking about the training of future lawyers, he emphasizes the importance of independent thinking:

"The most important thing at the learning stage is to learn to think. For example, you can't rely entirely on artificial intelligence: it's important to first solve the problem yourself, and only then use AI to check it."

Today, in his opinion, the legal profession is changing rapidly:

On the one hand, specialization is increasing, but on the other, generalists are always in demand. Furthermore, competition is growing not only among lawyers but also with AI, so it's important to constantly evolve.

Mikhail Morozov has worked at NSU's Faculty of Economics for over 25 years, teaching courses on civil law and arbitration proceedings, developing curricula, and preparing students for professional competitions, where NSU teams regularly win prizes.

The award of the title "Industrial Associate Professor of NSU" emphasizes the importance of integrating practical experience into the educational process and strengthens the university's connection with the professional community.

Scientists from the NSU Climate Center studied the forest productivity of the foothill subtaiga forests of Western Siberia. The study revealed that the grass layer in these ecosystems plays a more significant role than previously thought, suggesting that the grass cover can act as an additional, significant and effective reservoir of carbon accumulation.

The background forest communities of the foothill subtaiga of Western Siberia, located on the right bank of the Ob River in the Novosibirsk Region, were studied. These forests are called hemiboreal or subtaiga: they differ from boreal (more northern) forests by their dense and multispecies grass cover, which can reach a height of 110 cm.

The research was conducted in two experimental forests: aspen and birch.

During the peak grass growth period, which occurs in the second half of July, the researchers cut all grass in the survey plots, sorted it by species, and dried it to a completely dry state. The species richness of vascular plants ranged from 45 to 60 species per 400 square meters, but their actual contribution to the biomass was unevenly distributed. The aboveground productivity of grass biomass is approximately 2.4 tons per hectare. Just two dominant plants—bracken fern (Pteridium pinetorum) and ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria)—account for approximately 80% of its total volume. Five additional plant species each contributed more than 1%. The remaining 30 species collectively account for no more than 6.7% of the biomass.

"The study revealed a number of important and largely unexpected patterns in the structure and functioning of birch and aspen forests. Despite noticeable differences in the external appearance of these communities, their grass layers were virtually identical in both species composition and mass. This grass layer pattern indicates ecosystem stability even when the dominant tree species changes," said Nikolai Lashchinsky, chief researcher at the Carbon Polygon research center, part of the NSU Climate Center.

The scientists paid particular attention to the ratio of phytomass between different layers. The mass of the annually regrowing herbaceous layer in these forests is comparable to, and in some cases exceeds, the mass of foliage in the tree canopies. Thus, the herbaceous layer represents a photosynthetically active layer, comparable in efficiency to the tree canopies.

"No less significant is the conclusion about the uniqueness of Siberian subtaiga forests. The productivity of their herbaceous layer significantly exceeds similar indicators in European broadleaf forests and is significantly higher than in boreal taiga forests. This allows us to consider the small-leaved forests of the Western Siberian subtaiga as unique forest ecosystems, with two equally active layers of photosynthetic activity—the tree stand and the herbage layer. This makes these forests extremely effective in sequestering atmospheric carbon and maintaining biodiversity," explained Nikolai Lashchinsky.
