We need to build at least 12 advanced general education organizations in all federal districts by 2030. At least 40 world-class university campuses should be created in the country by 2036. It is already the end of July, more than half of the year has passed, it is high time to sum up the interim results," Dmitry Chernyshenko addressed the participants of the meeting.

The meeting discussed the progress of construction of modern campuses in the Novgorod, Sakhalin, Chelyabinsk, Samara, Kaliningrad and Sverdlovsk regions.

As Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Andrey Omelchuk noted, this year two campuses will be put into operation: the Ural Federal University in Yekaterinburg and the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in Kaliningrad.

The construction of the campus of the Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, including three academic buildings, is in its final stage. The total area of the facilities will be 100.1 thousand square meters and will provide comfortable training for more than 8 thousand students.

The commissioning of all facilities of the modern campus of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University is expected in June 2026. This large-scale project includes the creation of eight key facilities with a total area of 109.6 thousand square meters, which will be able to provide comfortable education and accommodation for more than 2.4 thousand students.

On the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children”, projects for 25 campuses have already been approved by 2030 – this is 3 million square meters of area and more than 75 thousand places for comfortable accommodation of students and teachers.

Dmitry Chernyshenko drew attention to the importance of timely completion of tasks for the construction of facilities of the International Children's Center "Artek", which is celebrating its centenary this year. He instructed to strengthen control over the dynamics of the work for their speedy completion, and also noted that next week he plans to personally inspect the facilities under construction.

The center's development program includes the construction of 33 facilities. After the introduction of the tenth camp, Solnechny, the IDC Artek will be able to accept up to 57 thousand children per year. In recent years, the center's educational space has also expanded – branches of Korsun in Sevastopol and Krasnaya Gvozdika on the coast of the Azov Sea have been created.

Head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova noted the importance of active work to improve the infrastructure of Artek, which will ensure a high level of safety and comfort for children.

The head of the Ministry of Education, Sergei Kravtsov, noted that work is currently underway on the approved projects of six leading schools.

"Thanks to the federal project "Leading Schools" of the national project "Youth and Children", we are implementing a systemic approach to creating modern educational spaces. By 2027, we plan to complete the construction of advanced schools in the Novgorod, Pskov and Ryazan regions for 2.2 thousand places," emphasized Sergey Kravtsov.

In addition, in 2028, it is planned to open a school in the Krasnodar region for 600 students, and by the end of 2029, educational institutions in the Belgorod and Nizhny Novgorod regions for 1.6 thousand students.

Healthcare and Technology – Moscow Launches AI Service to Diagnose Shoulder Fractures

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Moscow has introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) service to detect shoulder fractures on X-rays. This is the 41st clinical area in which radiologists are using computer vision technology, according to Yuri Vasilev, head of the radiology department at the Moscow Health Department.


The Moscow Department of Health is launching an artificial intelligence service for diagnosing shoulder fractures.

Moscow continues to advance the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into practical applications in the healthcare sector. The algorithm assists doctors by automatically highlighting suspicious areas indicating possible fractures and performing the necessary measurements on images. This speeds up the interpretation of studies and increases the accuracy of injury detection. Vasiliev emphasized the critical importance of this service in trauma centers, where the efficiency and accuracy of diagnostics are of paramount importance for timely treatment and reducing the risk of complications. This integration of AI into traumatology contributes to the further development of digital medicine in Moscow, integrating the service into the city's comprehensive neural network infrastructure, which currently operates in 41 areas.

“The shoulder joint is one of the most difficult anatomical areas to interpret X-ray images,” Vasilev noted. “Even minor deviations in the patient’s position during the examination can affect the accuracy of the visualization, which requires exceptional care from the physician. This AI algorithm acts as an additional filter, serving as a reliable auxiliary tool to improve the accuracy of the analysis.”

“The shoulder joint is one of the most challenging anatomical problems for radiographic interpretation,” Vasiliev noted. “Even minor deviations in patient position can affect the accuracy of imaging, requiring exceptional clinical vigilance. This AI algorithm functions as a diagnostic filter, serving as a reliable auxiliary tool to improve the accuracy of analysis.”

Timely diagnosis of fractures is critical to determining treatment tactics. Delays increase the risk of complications, including malunion, chronic pain, and limited mobility. The introduction of AI minimizes these risks, allowing treatment to begin at an earlier stage.

As part of a five-year computer vision experiment in Moscow, more than 200 AI services participating in the project have been integrated into the healthcare sector. About 100 algorithms have been integrated into the city's medical information system, about 50 of which are currently analyzing medical images in real time.

The project is led by the Moscow Social Development Complex based at the Diagnostics and Telemedicine Center of the Moscow Health Department in cooperation with the city's Information Technology Department. It is in line with the goals of the Moscow Medicine Development Strategy until 2030, aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of medical care for residents.
