Vladislav Mikhalchenko, Head of the Strategic Development and Projects Department of the Krasnoyarsk Krai Agency for Labor and Employment, visited SPbGASU. He briefed students on the Youth Club in his region and held a working meeting with the university's leadership.

The Krasnoyarsk Krai Youth Club in St. Petersburg is a community of like-minded individuals and fellow countrymen who have come to study in the Northern Capital. Its main goal is to encourage graduates of St. Petersburg universities to return to the region. This is achieved through quizzes, business games, and other activities, meetings with successful individuals and employers, career counseling, company roadshows, and internships. Project partners include the Government of Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Government of St. Petersburg, the Yenisei Siberia Development Corporation, Norilsk Nickel, Rosneft, and others.

Vladislav Mikhalchenko reported that approximately 3,200 students from the Krasnoyarsk Krai are studying in St. Petersburg. This is a valuable resource for employers and the rapidly developing region. The club currently has 187 members. The organizers plan to increase the number of participants and identify leaders among them who will collaborate with partners and develop additional events. These leaders will be able to participate in organizing the 2026 World Youth Festival in Krasnoyarsk.

Students learned about the benefits of living and working in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and were invited to a club chat. The focus there is on careers: job openings are posted and individual coaching is provided. Vladislav Mikhalchenko recommended meeting with employers as early as possible and arranging an internship a year in advance.

At the end of the meeting, the speaker answered questions and held a quiz. The quiz winner, fourth-year construction student Dmitry Kuznetsov, intends to join the club. "I'm from Krasnoyarsk. If Krasnoyarsk Krai is competitive, why not?" he said, reflecting on his return to his homeland.

Yulia Yunakova, a second-year construction student, is also from Krasnoyarsk. She was interested in internships. "I'd be happy to try my hand at this profession in my hometown," she said.

During a working meeting with Vice-Rector for Youth Policy Marina Malyutina, Vice-Rector for Continuing Education Victoria Vinogradova, and the heads of departments involved in student professional development, Vladislav Mikhalchenko discussed the concept and work plan of the St. Petersburg Youth Club. The parties outlined further steps for developing cooperation that will help future young professionals fully realize their career potential.

How to increase the birth rate in the country: Scientists from the State University of Management have proposed new approaches.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The State University of Management has identified what prevents young people from having children and developed a tool that will help the government more accurately assess the effectiveness of demographic policy measures. The results and recommendations will be submitted to the State Duma.

The study was conducted by a research team from the State University of Management's Research Institute of Public Policy and Industrial Economic Management, led by Oleg Sudorgin, the institute's director. The project combined quantitative and qualitative methods: surveys, interviews, and expert opinion analysis.

High school students: comfort and mutual understanding

A survey of 11th-grade graduates revealed that Generation Z has an ambivalent attitude toward marriage. On the one hand, they value formal status—registration, responsibility, and stability. On the other hand, trust, emotional connection, and freedom of choice are crucial.

Young Muscovites value traditional family values but are unwilling to sacrifice personal comfort for formalities. This generation perceives family as a conscious union, where mutual understanding is more important than social expectations.

Students: A Strong Foundation for Life

Among students aged 18 to 22 at Moscow universities, the main barriers to having children are financial instability, homelessness, and self-doubt. Young people fear they won't be able to cope with the roles of parent, maintaining a family, and providing a decent standard of living. As a result, they don't abandon the idea of getting married to raise their children, but they postpone this step, seeking to first establish a solid financial and emotional foundation.

Today, for many, having a child isn't the beginning of adulthood, but its culmination, a confirmation of stability and maturity. This is consistent with a nationwide trend: later parenthood, declining birth rates, and rising quality-of-life expectations for starting a family.

Experts: Transforming the Institution of the Family

Interviews with experts show that a new cultural model of family is emerging—one that emphasizes personal choice, emotional comfort, and mutual compatibility between partners.

Generation Z is characterized by several fundamental fundamental attitudes: individualized life strategies, delayed socialization, and hybrid values. In other words, starting a family is moving from an obligation to a choice. At the same time, marriage and childbearing are shifting to a later age, and the desire for love and care is combined with pragmatic calculations and digital habits.

Research: Program and Practice

A team from the State University of Management has developed software for assessing the effectiveness of demographic policy measures. The algorithm automatically calculates weighting coefficients and shows which measures actually impact fertility and which require revision.

Based on this data, a socio-demographic passport for the region is created—a tool that allows for tracking birth rate dynamics, assessing risks, and predicting the development of the situation, as they say, "on the ground."

This approach will make it possible to formulate demographic policy more accurately, taking into account not only economic but also sociocultural and psychological factors.

Based on their findings, our scientists have prepared a package of recommendations for government agencies. The goal is to improve the effectiveness of family support and birth rate promotion measures, focusing on the real needs and values of today's young people.

The Garnet team from the State University of Management emerged as the best among the strongest student case clubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

On the first Saturday of October, more than 60 representatives of university case communities from the two capitals gathered at the FCC to exchange experiences, hone their skills, and compete in solving business problems.

The main challenge was a mini-case study from Axenix, a partner company: they had to develop a plan to increase the profitability of an IT company in 70 minutes. The GUU team performed brilliantly and topped the list of leaders thanks to their creative strategy and coordinated work.

"The forum became not only a competition platform but also an important networking event. We connected with like-minded individuals from Moscow State University, ITMO University, Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, and other universities. This helped us see different approaches to solving business problems. We hope the forum will become a good tradition," noted Yegor Zhogolev, a fourth-year student at the Institute of Economics and Finance and head of the SUM team.

Our winners received certificates and valuable gifts, but most importantly, new experience and confidence in their abilities.

Congratulations to the guys at Garnet! We wish them new interesting cases and, of course, new victories!

In the new building of the NSU flow auditoriums, which is part of the second stage of the project modern campus of NSU, which is being built as part of the national project "Youth and Children" and opened in August 2025, has completed the navigation work. The basic elements—signs—have been complemented by vibrant illustrations, decorative elements, and inscriptions.

The interior of the lecture hall building was inspired by the Bauhaus style, the identity of the university and Akademgorodok. The navigation, in turn, became a natural extension of the interior.

The Bauhaus style is characterized by a combination of functionalism and aesthetics, focusing on practicality, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. Its hallmarks include clear geometric shapes, a lack of unnecessary decoration, large windows, and an emphasis on functionality and ergonomics. Bauhaus rejects pretentiousness, believing that every detail should serve a specific purpose and be comfortable, accessible, and beautiful at the same time.

"We were tasked with creating a fun, modern wayfinding system—one that's playful, welcoming, and inspiring. After all, students come here not only to study but also to socialize, and today, to create something new and be creative. We needed a suitable background; every element was essential. It not only plays with us, but also gives us a sense of 'where we are.' Each floor has its own color, which helps us navigate better. Simple shapes—lines and circles—are memorable," commented Margarita Moreva, the designer of the wayfinding concept.

The new building has four classrooms, each marked with a decorative element—the letter N with the star from the university logo. An illustration of simple geometric shapes, colored to match the university's signature colors, adorns the entrance to the cafeteria area. Metal signposts conveniently display information about the building's main rooms. Window decals are a pleasant green color scheme. The signage is available in Russian and two foreign languages—English and Chinese—to meet the requirements of modern campuses.

Inspirational quotes from renowned world thinkers and writers have appeared on the walls of the NSU Scientific Library, located on the first floor.

So many profound and wise sayings about books, culture, and scientific knowledge have survived to this day—the words of writers, scientists, and public figures. Choosing just a few quotes was no easy task. We selected the most insightful and heartfelt statements and asked our staff to vote.

We wanted the quotes to remind readers of the value of books as a source of knowledge, thought, and emotion; to inspire them to engage in scientific and creative research; to remind them of how many talented and inspired people, just like them now, labored in their time, their heads bowed over books at their desks, making discoveries, writing books, and laying the foundation for our present. We hope these words will become a source of inspiration, a gateway to a profound understanding of the value of books, the importance of culture, and the continuity of scientific knowledge," noted Evgenia Vaganova, Head of the Fiction Department.

Washington, October 16 (Xinhua) — Facing downside risks from trade tensions, Asian countries can accelerate economic growth by refocusing on domestic demand and deepening regional integration, an International Monetary Fund (IMF) official said on Thursday.

"This is a region that is highly dependent on foreign trade. Therefore, any shocks to global trade will be felt much more acutely in Asia," Krishna Srinivasan, Director of the IMF's Asia-Pacific Department, said at a press conference.

Responding to a question from Xinhua, he noted that there is always a "ray of hope" despite downside risks related to trade uncertainty, debt vulnerability and other factors.

“Asia has an opportunity to shift more toward a growth model driven by domestic demand,” said K. Srinivasan, noting that the contribution of domestic demand to economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region has slowed significantly compared to the pre-pandemic period.

He emphasized the benefits of greater integration in the region. Asia's GDP as a whole could increase by 1.4 percent in the medium term, and some countries that are more open and connected to global supply chains will benefit significantly more.

According to the latest IMF forecast, growth rates in the Asia-Pacific region will slow from 4.5 percent this year to 4.1 percent in 2026.

According to the IMF representative, despite the economic slowdown, the region will remain the largest driver of global growth. Its share will be around 60 percent this year and in 2026, noted K. Srinivasan, adding that this resilience can be attributed to outpacing export growth, the technology boom, and stimulative macroeconomic policies.

The 12th OpenBio Biotechnology Forum, held in late September, brought together 992 in-person and 4,411 online participants from 13 countries in the science city of Koltsovo. Representatives from businesses, scientific institutes, and research centers met at the forum to discuss the development of biotechnology, biopharmaceuticals, and related fields.

One of the participants was Sergey Dementyev, a second-year master's student at the NSU Physics Department. Sergey presented an oral presentation, "Functional Properties of Spin Trapping Agents for Enhanced Detection of Singlet Oxygen in Photodynamic Therapy Applications," in the biophysics section and won first place among young scientists under 35. As a prize, he received a certificate for training in "Machine Learning in Biology and Bioinformatics."

"I'm interested in the forum as a platform for science and business to build practical partnerships. I'm particularly interested in collaborating with pharmaceutical companies on joint drug testing projects," Sergey said.

The research presented by Sergey was conducted in collaboration with the Laboratory of Nitrogen Compounds at the Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The work focuses on the discovery and study of new spin traps—compounds that enable more accurate detection of singlet oxygen in biological systems.

"Our proposed trap demonstrated the best performance and proved to be the most promising for these applications. This result is important for studying the in vivo antitumor properties of photosensitizers used in photodynamic cancer therapy," explains Sergey.

Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive cancer treatment method already widely used in clinical practice. The search for new photosensitizers is a key step in improving its effectiveness.

“The compound we proposed makes it possible, for the first time, to conduct more in-depth studies of these drugs under physiological conditions—both in vitro and in vivo—compared to the standard testing procedure on mice,” the researcher notes.

Work on the project was carried out in the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Laboratory of the International Tomography Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Olesya Anatolyevna Krumkacheva.

"The most challenging and, at the same time, interesting part was mastering and combining several experimental techniques necessary for the project's implementation. In the future, we plan to use the developed traps to study new promising photosensitizers synthesized by our colleagues," added Sergey.
