During these hot days, an equally hot event took place at the Igora Drive circuit in the Leningrad Region — the fourth Garage Fest festival. The Polytech North Capital Motorsport (Polytech NCM) student team became one of the participants in the Formula Student competition and performed well.

There was so much to see at the festival! Four-hour endurance races, drift competitions, exhibitions of rare cars, dragsters and drag racing prototypes, as well as interesting lectures and discussions about the past, present and future of cars.

A separate topic is the international student racing car competition "Formula Student". There, our Polytech NCM team did not get lost among strong competitors from Russia, Turkey and China. The guys proved that they are real engineers and athletes, ready to fight for leadership. At all stages of the competition, they were supported by students from the Polymer association – they tried not to miss a single event of the program, filmed a report, followed the races and, of course, rooted for the Polytechnicians.

To gain access to the races, you need to overcome the stage of static disciplines. Here, Polytech NCM was at its best. The guys passed the technical inspection and presented their car to experts. As a result, the Polytechnicians became winners in the presentation of the business plan, received second place for the report on cost and production, and came in third in the disciplines "Best digital twin of a racing car" and "Protection of the structure".

Thus, the team earned the right to participate in the general race and took fourth place there. The guys were delighted to be among their own again – in the engineering community, where everyone supports each other despite the competition. Now they are set for the new season and expect to improve their result at the next Garage Fest Igora Drive.

WASHINGTON, July 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has given Moscow a 10-day "deadline" to end the conflict with Ukraine, shortening the 50-day period he had outlined two weeks ago.

Russia has “10 days from today” to reach a ceasefire, Trump told reporters on his way back to Washington after a visit to Scotland, or he would be willing to “put tariffs and stuff.”

On July 14, the US president threatened Russia with “harsh tariffs” if it did not agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine within 50 days. On Monday, during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he shortened the deadline to “10 or 12 days,” citing frustration with Moscow’s “unwillingness to compromise.”

The Kremlin responded that it had taken note of D. Trump's statement and would continue its actions in Ukraine. "The special military operation is ongoing, and we also remain committed to the peace process to resolve the conflict around Ukraine and ensure our interests in the course of this settlement," Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. -0-

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — Preserving historical memory is the mission of today's youth, said Leonid Petukhin, deputy chairman of the Russian-Chinese Friendship Society (RCFS), while leading the RCFS delegation at the World Youth Conference for Peace held in Beijing on Tuesday.

The event was held to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations under the motto “Together for Peace.” More than 3,000 people took part, including youth representatives from over 130 countries and various circles in China, as well as foreign students studying in China.

"World War II, the Great Patriotic War and the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression affected every family in both Russia and China. And today we celebrate the 80th anniversary of our victory. First of all, we must remember the price that both our countries paid. After all, we are talking about tens of millions of dead," L. Petukhin noted.

“And the mission of today’s youth, in addition to building a happy future, is to remember the enormous losses and heroism of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, what they did to save this world. And as youth, we will continue this history and this mission,” he added.

Following the conference, the World Youth Peace Initiative was published, calling on young people to be defenders of peace throughout the world, pioneers in inter-civilizational dialogue, supporters of mutually beneficial cooperation, and to become participants in the fight against climate change and supporters of science and technology for good.

During the document release ceremony, L. Petukhin and representatives of other countries read it out in parts on stage in different languages.

“Peace means creating an environment in which every young person can realize their potential, because every young person deserves a chance to do their best to achieve what they want and to show the world what they can do. So I am convinced that the meaning of peace is to ensure that the voice of every young person is heard,” shared the vice-chairman of the ORKD.

"The world is filled with different civilizations and cultures. In order to establish a proper dialogue between us, we must, first of all, understand each other. Without mutual understanding, there will be no success and no successful cooperation," he added.

Let us recall that at the invitation of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), from July 21 to 28, L. Petukhin, at the head of a Russian delegation of 15 people, including young teachers, students, and artists from 10 regions of Russia, took part in the 5th tour “Youth of Russia and China Walk the Road of Friendship”, visiting various places in China, including the cities of Jiujiang (Jiangxi Province, East China), Xiangtan and Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (Hunan Province, Central China).

The World Youth Conference for Peace was organized by the CNDH jointly with the All-China Youth Federation. -0-

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — China's YH-1000 unmanned cargo aircraft recently completed a cargo test flight in complex terrain, marking a milestone for its future commercial operation.

The YH-1000 aircraft, developed by the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), made the flight on July 28 along a 134-kilometer route connecting the Liangping and Wulong districts of southwest China's Chongqing city, Science and Technology Daily reported.

At 7:47 on July 28, a YH-1000 aircraft carrying a cargo container took off from Liangping Airport, and more than an hour later, it made a smooth landing at Xiannushan Airport in Wulong District. After unloading and loading the cargo, the aircraft departed at 9:47, landing at Liangping Airport at 11:02.

The aircraft flew over five mountain peaks, each of which is over 1,000 meters high, and also crossed the territory above the Wujiang Canyon and the Yangtze River waterway, thus passing a full-scale test of its ability to fly with cargo, fly across regions and return autonomously in the complex mountainous terrain of the Yangtze River basin.

According to a person in charge of the YH-1000 development team, the recent test flight of the drone shows that the YH-1000 has the technical capabilities required for commercial use. In the future, its trial operation will be promoted, thus giving new impetus to the rapid development of the “low-altitude economy” in the western region of China.

The YH-1000 aircraft project started in June 2024 and its maiden flight took place on May 22, 2025. With outstanding capabilities such as ultra-short takeoff and landing and strong adaptability to harsh operating environments, it can take off and land on roads, hard ground and grass surfaces, which will greatly expand the application possibilities of unmanned cargo aircraft.

The YH-1000 aircraft has a payload capacity of over 1,000 kg, a maximum operating altitude of 8,000 meters, and a flight duration of 10 hours. The new drone will enable low-cost and fast cargo transportation between cities and remote areas, as well as improve logistics communications in the central and western regions of the country.

"1C Academy": effective teaching of 1C technologies in universities

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In July 2025, a large educational program was completed — a course for advanced training of teachers "1C Academy: Effective Teaching of 1C Technologies in Universities". It is implemented by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University together with a technology partner — 1C Company. The main goal of the educational project "1C Academy" is to improve the quality and level of teaching modern technologies of corporate information systems. It is also aimed at training in the professional use of 1C products in the context of rapidly developing requirements of the digital economy based on the concept of a ready-made educational product.

In 2025, 1C Academy united more than 100 higher education institutions from 68 cities in five countries and 192 teachers seeking to develop their professional competencies in teaching modern information technologies based on advanced solutions from 1C. The scope of training participants has expanded significantly and, importantly, teachers from universities in the CIS countries have joined the program — more than 30% of the program's students are foreign participants. Among them: 12 teachers from Uzbekistan, 8 from Kazakhstan, 43 representatives from Belarus and 1 participant from Armenia. Thus, 1C Academy has reached a new level of cooperation and integration of educational resources of Russia and partners in the CIS countries.

A ready-made educational product is an approach when a complete set of educational and methodological materials is prepared: video lectures, tests, practical cases, configured for performing practical tasks of the IT system. The materials are adapted for any form of conducting classes and are ready for replication. The materials themselves, without a teacher training system, are ineffective, so SPbPU has developed a professional development program where teachers study not just the capabilities of the product, but receive material that can immediately be integrated with the university's LMS and begin teaching disciplines related to 1C, – said one of the authors of the course, senior researcher of the International Academic Competence Center "Intellectual Enterprise Technologies" of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" SPbPU Anton Ambrazhey.

During the training, the participants completed a four-month course covering various processes in the 1C: ERP CIS, development on the 1C: Enterprise platform, and a methodological block. The program was successfully completed by 117 people, which amounted to more than 60%. The most successful graduates were awarded prizes from 1C.

Many participants noted the excellent structure of the course, the clarity of presentation of the material, the quality of the educational and methodological materials.

The course was organized and conducted at the highest level! The materials are structured and easy to understand, the feedback is timely, support is at all stages of training, – wrote in the review senior lecturer of the Kazakh Agrotechnical University Ayagoz Orazbaeva.

Professor of Moscow Polytechnic University Petr Romanov noted: The high level of preparation of educational materials and convenient structure allowed to effectively master new technologies. Convenient video lectures and prompt feedback from the organizers made a special impression.

This is the first time I am taking part in such training! The level of methodological support, technical support, as well as the quality of the prepared materials and the professionalism of the speakers are amazing! I felt “space” technologies on myself. This course has become a vector for the coming semesters. Thank you for the training! I will follow your example!!! — shared her impressions of the course associate professor of the Ural State Mining University Svetlana Lebedeva.

Deputy Director for Strategic Projects at 1C LLC Nikita Starichkov, assessing the importance of the 1C Academy for the industry, noted: There may be different universities, different areas of training, different educational programs, but always and everywhere it is the teachers who play a key role in the development and training of a young specialist. At the same time, it is important that the knowledge of teachers does not lag behind the IT industry, which is developing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, for our part, we welcome and support the Academy project, which has been held by Polytech for several years now. We hope that it will continue to actively develop in the future.

The Polytechnic University is holding a similar "Academy" for students. A similar course for students, "1C Academy for Students", is scheduled to launch in October 2025. Information can be found atofficial website of the program. Students from Russian and foreign universities have a unique opportunity to master new technologies and develop the necessary competencies for a successful career in the modern digital economy.

An important result of the implementation of the "1C Academy" is the creation of a solid foundation for the further development of the pedagogical potential of universities in the CIS countries and the training of highly professional personnel for the modern digital economy. Teachers and students acquire valuable knowledge and ready-made materials that allow not only to form a theoretical basis, but also to actively apply modern digital solutions in training and work.
