An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Skolkovo Foundation (VEB.RF Group), together with the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the country's leading industrial companies, announced the launch of the sixth cycle of "GreenTech Sustainable Development," Russia's largest program for developing an industrial supplier ecosystem. Applications from technology developers will be accepted until October 20, 2025.

Over its six years of existence, the program has transformed from an industry accelerator into a federal platform shaping the sustainable development agenda for domestic industry. It aims to address the strategic challenges of industrial enterprises through the implementation of cutting-edge Russian developments.

Directions for applications

In the new cycle, the program expands its focus: the number of selection areas has been increased to five.

Partners are interested in exploring technologies in the following areas:

ecology; industrial safety; resource efficiency; production infrastructure management; biotechnology for food security (new direction this year).

"Industry is the driver of the country's technological development, and the implementation of innovative solutions in key sectors can ensure the rapid and effective achievement of the Russian Federation's national development goals. Over the past six years, the GreenTech Sustainable Development program has become a working platform where the needs of industry meet the offerings of Russian developers. Following the previous selection process, 68 projects were developed, 22 of which are already in the implementation stages," said Nikolai Bulatov, Director of Energy-Intensive Production at the Skolkovo Foundation.

Participants in the 2025 program will receive the following opportunities:

Direct access to industrial customers for pilot projects; expert support for tailoring solutions to market needs; and the opportunity to apply for grant funding from the Skolkovo Foundation of up to 10 million rubles.

Successful cases

The effectiveness of the program is confirmed by the actual implementation of technologies by its finalists.

Skolkovo participant REDSYSTEMS has developed a portable diagnostic device for analyzing the energy parameters of diesel locomotive units. The solution allows testing in 3–15 minutes with a 99.5% accuracy rate, laying the foundation for predictive equipment maintenance. A pilot implementation of the device is planned at a Severstal plant.

SIMPLE CAMPAIGNS received a 7 million ruble grant and successfully implemented its software for managing the efficiency of production assets at the Tosol-Sintez plant, a major automotive chemicals manufacturer. The integration took five days, and the six-month economic impact amounted to 14 million rubles, thanks to reduced procurement and a 15% reduction in equipment downtime.

The development of the program's finalist, DekStream, received support from partner Gazprom Neft and a grant from Skolkovo. It is a system for monitoring pipeline detachments from foundation supports in permafrost conditions. As part of the pilot project, the IoT platform was refined and specialized position sensors were developed.

The Protection of the Holy Mother of God: a great feast and the beginning of the Polytechnic University's journey

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 14, Orthodox Christians celebrate one of the great feasts of the twelve feasts – the Protection of the Holy Mother of God.

The holiday is based on the legend of the miraculous salvation of Christians from a pagan invasion in Constantinople in the mid-10th century. The city was besieged by enemies, and people gathered in the Blachernae Church to pray. Among them was Andrew, the fool-for-Christ from Constantinople. According to his life, he was the first to see the Mother of God walking across the sky, surrounded by saints and angels. The Most Pure One began to pray for the salvation of Christians, and then spread a maphorion—a woman's veil covering her head and shoulders—over them. According to legend, a storm arose that night, and the enemy ships retreated from Constantinople without a fight.

This is how the Feast of the Intercession of the Mother of God came into being. On this day, believers celebrate the spiritual protection that the Mother of God provides to all those in need and disadvantaged.

For Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin has a special, symbolic significance. Until 2018, it was celebrated on October 1st according to the Julian calendar then in use in the Russian Empire. In 1902, it was on October 1st, the Feast of the Intercession, that the consecration of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute took place. The clergy of the Novosiltsevskaya Church held a service in the assembly hall, and the building was sprinkled with holy water. At the opening ceremony, the government was represented by Pyotr Mikhailovich Romanov, the head of the Ministry of Finance, deputy minister, and privy councilor, who declared the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute open.

On behalf of all those present at the service, Pyotr Mikhailovich sent a telegram to Emperor Nicholas II, who was in Livadia at the time: "Today, the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, erected by the will of Your Imperial Majesty, was consecrated—classes will begin there tomorrow. The director, professors, and students of the institute ask me to lay at the feet of Your Imperial Majesty their feelings of boundless devotion and gratitude for the gift of an institution of higher learning, so generously endowed by Your Highest Grace, and to report to Your Majesty that they will make every effort to fulfill their duty and dedicate themselves to the cause of good education. I humbly submit this to Your Imperial Majesty."

The next day, before classes began, Grigory Petrov, the artillery school's religious teacher and preacher, held a prayer service in the assembly hall. Then, Andrei Gagarin, the institute's director, addressed the students. Here's an excerpt from his speech: "You are the first; with your participation, the traditions of our institute will be established. Therefore, strive to ensure that it becomes a proud and stable member of its elder brothers. For its life to flow correctly, you must consciously exercise self-discipline. Follow the institute's rules and the instructions of myself and the faculty. Feel free to contact us if you have any difficulties. In us, you will always find support and assistance."

The first lecture on theoretical mechanics for students in the technical departments was given by Ivan Vsevolodovich Meshchersky, the founder of the mechanics of variable systems and a member of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. In one of the larger auditoriums, Professor Alexander Sergeevich Posnikov gave a lecture on political economy to students in the economics department.

On October 2, 1902, the Polytechnic received a telegram from Emperor Nicholas II in Livadia: "I sincerely wish success to the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, which opened today, and I thank the director, professors, teachers, and students for the sentiments they have all expressed." Nicholas.

Ten years later, on June 6 (June 19, new style), 1912, a church was laid at the Emperor Peter the Great Polytechnic Institute in honor of the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin—the institute's opening day. The church was consecrated on December 15 (December 28, new style), 1913. Today, it is an active church at the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The microbial preparation "Oceanida," an environmentally friendly development by Rosneft Oil Company, has received a positive conclusion from a state environmental review. The preparation is designed for the effective and safe disposal of hydrocarbon pollutants in Arctic seas. The expert commission determined that the innovation complies with environmental protection requirements. The conclusion was approved by an order from Rosprirodnadzor.

The development of this biopreparation is the result of extensive scientific research. The project is being implemented through a collaboration between Rosneft's Arctic Research Center and Innopraktika, based at the Faculty of Biology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The product is based on psychrophilic (cold-loving) microorganisms that can utilize hydrocarbons as a nutritional source.

During the project, specialists conducted a series of expeditions in the Arctic region to search for native microbial strains that most effectively degrade oil slicks. They also developed and tested a technologically advanced formulation of the product—coated granules containing dormant microbial cells and the nutrients necessary for their initial growth.

Scientists conducted detailed studies of the drug's safety for humans, animals, and marine ecosystems. The effectiveness of "Oceanida" was proven not only in laboratory conditions but also in field trials at the White Sea Biological Station of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. Hydrocarbon losses amounted to 36.7% over 45 days, even at temperatures as low as -1.5°C. Based on the obtained data on the drug's safety for marine ecosystems, an environmental assessment confirmed the suitability of "Oceanida" for use in Arctic seas.

Environmental sustainability in business operations is a key priority for Rosneft Oil Company. The use of modern biotechnological solutions will enable the effective and environmentally safe elimination of hydrocarbon pollution of all types, but especially the so-called "chronic pollution" that arises from the operation of maritime transport.

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Cumulative production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field, developed by RN-Yuganskneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft), has reached 100 million tons of oil.

A distinctive feature of the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field is its multi-layer structure, consisting of a dozen horizons, each of which is drilled by its own grid of wells.

The high performance was achieved through the commissioning of new wells, the construction of infrastructure facilities, and the use of modern technologies.

Currently, over 400 wells provide production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field. Since the beginning of 2025, 20 new wells, including seven horizontal ones, have been commissioned. RN-Yuganskneftegaz specialists are using sidetracking technology, which allows for increased oil recovery at the mature asset and the return of mothballed wells to production.

The field is developed using hydraulic fracturing operations, which significantly increases oil production.

The field has great development prospects. Near-term plans at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field include drilling wells at two cluster pads, which will increase oil production. Additionally, exploration is underway at the underlying horizons.

Reference:

RN-Yuganskneftegaz is a key asset of Rosneft Oil Company, accounting for approximately 30% of the Company's total production. The company conducts geological exploration and development of fields in 40 license areas covering a total area of over 21,000 square kilometers in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

The company's cumulative production since the beginning of its operations exceeds 2.7 billion tons of oil.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From October 5 to 11, the 16th Russian National Conference on Earthquake-Resistant Construction and Seismic Zoning was held in Sochi. The conference addressed such topical issues as seismic design standards in different countries, seismic protection, software calculations, and more. The earthquake that occurred in Kamchatka on July 30 became a high-profile topic. Experts discussed the results of seismic stations during the earthquake, the minute-by-minute occurrence of events, and concluded that the seismic event had been successfully managed.

The conference was attended by scientists and engineers from across Russia, as well as from Pakistan, India, New Zealand, Iran, Nepal, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. SPbGASU was represented by faculty from the Faculty of Civil Engineering.

Nadezhda Ostrovskaya, PhD, Associate Professor of the Structural Mechanics Department, spoke at the "Seismic Isolation and Other Innovative Systems and Technologies for Seismic Protection" session, where she discussed the design and calculation methods for plastic dampers. She noted the enormous scientific contribution to the development of structural mechanics made by Professor Yuri Rutman, who recently passed away: "Yuri Lazarevich was a very gifted and prolific scientist. Within the walls of SPbGASU, he nurtured more than ten PhD candidates and specialists in earthquake engineering. He established a scientific school on seismic isolation, specifically plastic dampers of various configurations, which I will strive to continue. Yuri Lazarevich's contribution cannot be overestimated." The presentation was dedicated to the publication of the monograph "Plastic Dampers: Design, Calculation, Experiment" in 2025.

Olga Nesterova, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Structural Mechanics, presented a paper at the "Application of CAD and Computational Modeling in the Design of Buildings and Structures" section on the consideration of vibration mode correlation in seismic impact analysis. "As part of my research on dynamic vibration dampers for seismic protection of buildings and structures, I discussed an important factor that must be considered in earthquake impact analysis: vibration mode correlation. This is the influence of vibration modes on each other, and failure to consider this can lead to incorrect conclusions when assessing the seismic resistance of buildings and structures." The main conclusion of the study was that there are a number of structures for which consideration of correlation is essential in the analysis. It was proposed to introduce recommendations on how to consider correlation into standards.

Professor Sergey Savin, Doctor of Engineering, Department of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, moderated the section "New Design Solutions, Reinforced Concrete, Metal, and Steel Structures. Design, Construction, and Design of Earthquake-Resistant Buildings and Structures, Earthquake-Resistant High-Rise Buildings. Features, Problems, and Challenges of Safe Design and Construction." He also presented his own paper on "Verification of Design Models for Large-Span Shell Roofs Based on Their Dynamic Parameters Determined During Free-Vibration Testing." Sergey Nikolaevich focused on the A.P. Chekhov Sakhalin International Theatre Center, located in the earthquake-prone city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. During the discussion, the experts concluded that this method is highly effective.

This section also featured Sergey Tetushkin, an assistant professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics, who presented a paper on "Improving the Analytical Method for Calculating the First Mode of Natural Vibrations of Building Structures Using a Correction Factor." In his paper, Sergey shared some experimental and theoretical results from studies of a cantilever model of building structures with five concentrated masses, which, according to the regulatory document SP 14.13330.2018, is required for seismic impact analysis. These studies were conducted jointly with the Center for Integrated Seismic Testing.

Another participant in this section affiliated with our university was Sergei Mikhailenko, a graduate of the Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute (LISI, now SPbGASU), who presented a paper titled "Design of Facade and Window Structures." He shared his experience using translucent structures in Canada and presented SPbGASU representatives with his monograph, "The Practice of Constructing Translucent Facades and Other Glass Building Structures Based on Experience in North America."

At the "Fire Safety of Buildings and Structures. Seismic and Fire Safety of Building Structures and Materials" section, Don State Technical University Professor Lyubov Morgun, in her report "Foam Concrete for Improving the Seismic and Fire Safety of Buildings," paid tribute to "outstanding LISI scientist" Professor Igor Aleksandrovich Lobanov and presented the author's certificate "Raw Material Mix for Obtaining Cellular Concrete," obtained by I. A. Lobanov and Yu. V. Pukharenko in 1981.

Tatyana Belash, Doctor of Engineering, Advisor to the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences, and Consulting Professor of the Department of Metal and Wood Structures at St. Petersburg State University of Civil Engineering (SPbGASU), served as one of the conference organizers. As is traditional, the conference concluded with a roundtable discussion of pressing issues related to seismic impact design standards, highlighting the undeniable relevance of the issues discussed and the importance of the results obtained through the research presented at the event.
