On October 19, the NSUtella team, consisting of Roman Boluts, Matvey Goncharov, and Sofia Lylova, representing the Faculty of Information Technology, took part in the finals of the RuCode International Championship and took 25th place in the A/B division, becoming the competition's prize winner.

RuCode is a major all-Russian IT festival on artificial intelligence and algorithmic programming, bringing together schoolchildren, students, and professionals interested in modern technology. It is organized by the country's leading universities, technology parks, public organizations, and IT companies, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The festival includes championships in competitive programming and artificial intelligence, educational intensives, career guidance events, master classes, and lectures. For many participants, RuCode offers an opportunity to test themselves against tough competition and gain practical experience solving challenging problems.

"I decided to participate because I knew RuCode was an interesting Olympiad. Last year, I participated as a school student," says Roman Boluts, a first-year undergraduate student at the Faculty of Information Technology at NSU.

The finals took place at NSU. The Olympiad began at 2:10 PM and lasted five hours. According to the competition rules, each team was assigned one computer, on which the participants took turns solving problems.

"The tasks varied in difficulty—from very simple ones, which almost everyone solved, to very complex ones, which only a few teams managed. This wasn't a training event, but a competition, so I didn't gain any new knowledge, but it was a good way to test my skills and preparation," Roman shares.

The results of the finals were published in championship tableFollowing their performance, the NSU team received a RuCode prize winner's diploma, cementing the university's reputation as one of the strongest participants in Russian programming competitions.

Gyeongju, South Korea, November 1 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said here Saturday that the Chinese city of Shenzhen will host the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in November 2026.

This was announced at the session on the transition of the APEC presidency during the 32nd Informal Meeting of the Organization's Economic Leaders.

Xi Jinping stressed that APEC is the most important economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region, having made a significant contribution to its growth and prosperity.

Building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future is not only an important way to achieve long-term development and prosperity in the region, but also a common aspiration of all parties, he said.

The Chinese President noted that in 2026, China will host the APEC summit for the third time. China stands ready to seize this opportunity and work with all parties to build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future, promote growth and prosperity in the region, and focus on advancing the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific and practical cooperation in areas such as connectivity, the digital economy, and artificial intelligence, so as to inject greater vitality and impetus into the development of the Asia-Pacific region and bring greater benefits to the people of the region, Xi Jinping stated.

He said that Shenzhen is located on the Pacific coast and has transformed itself over the past few decades from a small, backward fishing village into a modern international metropolis.

He called the city's rise a miracle in the history of global development, created by the Chinese people, and an important window into China's relentless pursuit of a win-win, win-win strategy of opening up.

Xi Jinping said he looks forward to all parties meeting in Shenzhen next year to jointly discuss development plans for the Asia-Pacific region and create a bright future for it.

The leaders of the participating economies actively supported China's hosting of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting next year. They agreed with China's philosophy as host of the meeting.

They also expressed hope for the full success of the APEC Year of China, which is expected to contribute to the development of regional cooperation and promote common development and prosperity. –0–
