On September 18, 2025, the State University of Management hosted an open lecture by Altynai Omurbekova, Director of the Department of Labor Migration and Social Protection of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), on the topic: "A Single Labor Space: Prospects for Migration Policy in the EAEU."

The lecture was organized at the initiative of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurement. Department Head and RAS Academician Sergei Glazyev delivered a welcome message to the event's participants, delivered by his deputy, Artem Savostitsky.

In her speech, Altynai Omurbekova outlined key trends in the development of the EAEU's single labor market, emphasizing the importance of overcoming legal and social barriers, expanding mechanisms for social protection of workers, and implementing digital solutions to simplify the registration of migrants. The speaker focused on the prospects for mutual recognition of qualifications and the development of a specialist mobility system within the Union.

Master's students from the "Economics of Integration Processes in the EAEU" program actively participated in the discussion, asking questions about barriers to labor migration, the future of digital employee profiles, and opportunities for young professionals within the Union.

The role of the Eurasian Network University (ENU) as a platform for expanding academic and professional mobility was particularly emphasized. Importantly, the State University of Management heads the ENU Secretariat, enabling the university to play a key role in developing educational and scientific ties between EAEU countries.

The lecture generated considerable interest among students and faculty at the State University of Management, demonstrating the importance of collaboration between the academic community and EAEU institutions in developing solutions for the formation of a single labor market and strengthening the human resources potential of the Union's countries.

In 2025, the Polytechnic University's Open Education Center celebrates its 10th anniversary. The journey from the first experiments with posting educational materials on a website to the creation of a full-fledged digital educational environment, "Open Polytechnic," and the launch of over 150 online courses on the national platform was both challenging and rewarding. Svetlana Kalmykova, head of the Open Education Center, spoke with the newspaper "Polytechnic" about the origins and success of distance learning at the Polytechnic University, and the projects that have become the Center's key focus.

This interview is both a look into the past and a conversation about the future, but most importantly, it is the story of Svetlana Vladimirovna herself.– a person for whom education has become a matter of life.

Our participants were particularly interested in the business game "GosLeague," in which they demonstrated their knowledge of civil service and personnel policy. The goal was to promote the civil service.

Our team's participation in the First Aid Championship competition was a highlight. In conditions simulating real-life emergencies, the students demonstrated impeccable knowledge of first aid procedures, coordinated teamwork, composure, and high professionalism. Following a tense competition with top teams from other universities, the SPbGASU representatives took a respectable third place.

New Horizons in Political Science: Vietnamese State University of Management (GUU) PhD Students Successfully Defend Their Dissertations

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 15, two young scientists from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam defended their dissertations at the National University of Management, a graduate school. The defense took place at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.

Tu Thi Thoa submitted a paper titled "Problems of Building a Democratic Society in the Context of a Single-Party System in Contemporary Vietnam" for the degree of Candidate of Political Sciences in the specialty 5.5.2 "Political Institutions, Processes, and Technologies," while Nguyen Duc Cuong prepared a research paper titled "Renewal of the Political System in the Context of Ensuring Political Stability in Contemporary Vietnam." Both dissertations were completed in the graduate program of the State University of Management (SUM) in the Department of Public Administration and Political Technologies. Their supervisor was Vladimir Volokh, Doctor of Political Sciences and Professor of the Department.

Leading experts in political science and the study of contemporary political processes participated in the work of the Dissertation Council of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA).

Official reviewers provided positive feedback, noting that the research was conducted at a high scientific, methodological, and practical level. The comments by V.Yu. Ledeneva, I.S. Amiantova, and S.A. Stepanov, as the scientists themselves emphasize, are merely recommendations and do not affect the overall results or quality of the presented work.

The assessments of the chair and members of the dissertation council were also positive. During the academic discussion, it was noted that Vietnam, with its unique historical and political trajectory, is of particular interest for political science analysis. In the context of global transformations and regional challenges, such as the growing influence of major powers in Southeast Asia, geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea, and growing interdependence on global markets, maintaining domestic political stability has become a paramount task. Vietnam, while maintaining a socialist system and the Communist Party's monopoly on power, simultaneously demonstrates a desire for modernization and integration into the global community. Under these circumstances, the key question is how democratic institutions and practices can be formed and developed within a single-party system.

The candidates successfully answered questions from the dissertation committee members and official opponents, formulating their own vision for the development of democratic institutions in modern Vietnam. Following their defenses, the assembled panel unanimously voted to award the PhD degree in political science to Tu Thi Thoa and Nguyen Duc Cuong in the specialty 5.5.2 "Political Institutions, Processes, and Technologies."

We wholeheartedly congratulate the young scientists and wish them further success and creative growth.

A meeting of the Association of Foreign Students was held at NSU.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Association of International Students is a community whose main goal is to support international students in Novosibirsk, strengthen friendships, host events celebrating cultural diversity, provide academic support to students at Novosibirsk universities, and much more.

At the beginning of the meeting, Roman Karbushev, a specialist in the NSU Education Export Department, outlined the key objectives:

This year, we have a lot of work ahead of us, related to the development and promotion of our branch's activities. Our team is full of enthusiastic individuals with plenty of ideas for how to further develop our activities, and I hope there will be even more of them today. The main task today is to present a report on the past year, share our plans for the future, and, of course, welcome new members to our team.

Next, Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU, delivered a welcoming speech:

According to last year's data, 9,500 international students from 60 countries were studying in the Novosibirsk Region—a significant number. The region has ambitious goals: to increase the number of students by 50% by 2030. The city is open to welcoming international students, and its universities are also ready to welcome students from abroad. A specially developed regional program for the development of education exports aims to not only increase the number of international students but also create a comfortable environment for them to live in the city, so that during their studies, your university becomes an alma mater you will remember fondly.

Olga Naumova, director of the Yunost art residency, also addressed the participants: "I am pleased to welcome you today, including on behalf of Vasily Viktorovich Noskov, head of the Novosibirsk Region Department of Youth Policy. I hope that your activism and interest in developing the International Students Association will benefit you, the region, and those young people in your home country to whom you will share your experiences in the Novosibirsk Region."

Avishka Alagiyavanna, president of the Novosibirsk branch, presented a report on the AIS's work, sharing with activists what the association has accomplished over the past year.

AIS, together with the leaders of the International Friendship Club, held a joint meeting with Irina Yuryevna Sukhorukova, Head of the Permit and Visa Department of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Novosibirsk Region, where they discussed migration legislation, medical examinations for international students, and other topics. The association plans to hold another meeting with the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the migration legislation has been amended.

A mini-football tournament was held at NSTU, hosting six teams from seven universities. AIS also attended the International Youth Forum "Russia Made Us Friends 2025," which aims to bring together international student leaders from Russia, train them to work at the AIS RF branch, and introduce them to the diversity of Russian culture.

From August 27 to 29, 2025, the Russian Association of Foreign Students Media School was held in the Moscow region. This large-scale event brought together 85 students from 31 countries, representing universities across Russia. Among them were seven students from Novosibirsk, including representatives of Novosibirsk State University.

For three days, participants immersed themselves in the world of media and digital technologies. The Media School program included a media quiz, where students learned to create engaging content; design workshops and Figma sessions; development of new sections for regional AIS branches; and training sessions on teamwork, time management, and an active social media presence.

"When I learned about this forum, I immediately knew I had to participate. The topics covered at the media school align well with my desire to provide as much information as possible to international students coming to Russia to ease their adaptation. Initially, they face a number of challenges related to learning new languages, a different education system, and so on," noted Josué Pudiugo, a second-year doctoral student at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at NSU and a participant in the Media School.

According to participants, the Media School became not only an educational platform but also a place for sharing experiences, pursuing creative pursuits, and expanding their network. Here, students not only mastered current media trends but also met inspiring people, made new friends, and strengthened their international connections.

"Initially, I was offered to attend the 'Heart of AIS' forum, and to be honest, it wasn't a priority for me. But then, when I arrived and saw the atmosphere, my eyes lit up, and I came back so energized that I want to make an even greater contribution to the development of our branch this year. This was my first trip with the guys. I had a great time the entire two days, and I'm glad I met AIS participants from all over Russia and worked with them on content creation," added Laylo Abdurakhmanova, a student at SibUPK.

The Association's immediate plans include holding the traditional Indian festival of Diwali at the Novosibirsk House of Scientists and preparing an event to coincide with National Unity Day.

Entrepreneurial skills training courses have started at the State University of Management

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 18, 2025, the State University of Management held its first entrepreneurial skills training of the academic year. Timur Tarakanov and Anna Sorochinskaya, experts from the Open Innovations startup studio, led the intensive educational course for students.

Entrepreneurial competency training is a key element of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform ecosystem of the federal project "Technologies." It allows students to take their first steps in entrepreneurship and learn the basics of launching startups. In the format of the business game "Create a Startup in 6 Steps," the students went through all the stages of creating a tech startup—from idea generation and team building to the final pitch of their project. During the training, the students learned how to formulate and test hypotheses, analyzed existing monetization models, learned how to test an idea and bring a product to market with minimal resources, how to effectively present their product, structure their presentation, and overcome difficult questions. Upon completion of the training, all participants received certificates, and the most active ones received gifts from partners and organizers.

"Participating in the entrepreneurial skills training was an excellent opportunity to adapt to the project-based learning system at SUM. This was especially important for first-year students. The students learned how to work in teams, learned how to develop an innovative product idea, worked through the structure of startup projects, discussed real market cases, and finally presented their ideas to experts. It was invaluable to receive positive feedback from the students following the training. I'm confident that many of them will use their developments in project-based learning in the future, and over time, they will even be able to transform them into a fully functioning business," noted Dmitry Rogov, Director of the SUM Business Incubator.

The next training sessions will be held at the First Management School in October. Register for any date convenient for you, October 9th or October 23rd, and come hone your entrepreneurial skills.
