The International School of Quantum Technologies ISQT was held in Moscow, bringing together 30 of the best students from all over Russia. Among the participants were Ksenia Kozlenko and Ekaterina Kozlova, first-year master's students Physics Department of NSUThey passed a competitive selection and presented poster reports, presenting their own research in the field of quantum physics.

— The selection was based on the CV, motivation letter, and recommendation letter. The scientific supervisor told me about the school. I applied and was included in the list of participants. I was very worried, but it turned out I was in vain. The atmosphere was warm and truly student-like. The poster session was not a formal defense before the committee — you could freely communicate, share experiences, ask questions, and listen to others. This was the first conference where I really wanted to stay and talk to everyone, — says Ksenia Kozlenko.

The topic of her speech was the development of a quantum computer on neutral atoms. This architecture is currently being actively developed in the USA, but remains technically complex.

— My task is to model logical operations in the context of quantum computing and find out whether it is possible to simplify the system without losing accuracy. After school, I understood more clearly in what direction to develop, and even found answers to some questions about work. And I also met guys who are truly inspiring — everyone was passionate about their topic and sincerely wanted to share knowledge. This impressed me the most, — Ksenia explains.

Ekaterina Kozlova presented a study on the Hanle effect in the ground state of alkali metal atoms and its application in quantum magnetometry.

— Based on this effect, it is possible to develop miniature and very sensitive magnetometers. They can be used in medicine (for example, for magnetoencephalography), in geophysics, in navigation, for creating magnetic maps, in space and fundamental science. That is, this is not just “theory for the sake of theory”, but a completely practical direction, and I am glad that I was able to present it at such a level, — explains Ekaterina.

One of the most memorable moments for her was a visit to the RCC laboratory, where they work with SQUIDs – superconducting quantum interference sensors.

— These sensors are the main competitors of optically pumped magnetometers, which we make in our lab. It was useful to compare approaches and equipment. We even held a SQUID in our hands and saw how it works — this gave me even more understanding of my topic, — Ekaterina shares.

The students call the poster presentation format particularly valuable.

“It’s like a regular report, only in a live format – communication takes place right next to the poster, you can immediately discuss the nuances, argue, get feedback, and you can also go and see what others are doing and get inspired,” says Ekaterina.

Now the girls continue to work on their research and are preparing to present new results at the upcoming conference – "Nevskaya Photonics".

Congratulations to the girls and we wish them success!

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In August 2025, the II International Forum of Russia-Africa Cooperation "Education. Business. Culture – 2025" will be held as part of the XII International Forum "Technoprom-2025". The event is organized by the Center for Public Diplomacy, NSU and the Consortium of Russian Universities for the Development of Cooperation with African Countries.

An impressive delegation from African countries plans to take part in the forum:

— Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Russian Federation of the following countries: Republic of Mali, Republic of Chad, Republic of Guinea, Burkina Faso, Republic of Niger, Rwanda, Namibia, Angola and Ghana.

— Ministers of Education of the Republic of Chad, the Republic of Guinea and Burkina Faso, Ministers of Industry, Digitalization and Agriculture of Burkina Faso.

— The Presidents of the Academies of Sciences of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, the Rectors of the Abdou Moumouni University and the University of Agadez (both from the Republic of Niger).

— Heads of the national oil companies of Burkina Faso and Niger.

— Mayor of the city of Ouagadougou (the capital of Burkina Faso).

Let us recall that the first forum "Russia-Africa" was held last year on the initiative of NSU and the Center for Public Diplomacy. One of the results was the creation of a Consortium of Russian Universities for the development of cooperation with African countries.

This year, the Consortium members will analyze the current interaction of Russian universities with African countries, discuss the challenges and obstacles that hinder mutually beneficial cooperation, identify key areas and formulate a roadmap (work plan) for the Consortium for the next year. The roadmap will be based on a systemic approach that ensures the consolidation of efforts by Russian universities and the unification of actions at all levels – from government agencies to the universities themselves. The implementation of the proposed measures will improve the quality of education and improve the culture of mutual understanding between the regions. The implementation of these initiatives will strengthen Russia's position on the African continent and will become the basis for the further development of bilateral relations.

The Forum also plans to discuss joint work in the areas of school and secondary specialized education. The Center for Public Diplomacy and NSU plan to hold talks with the Minister of Secondary Education, Vocational and Technical Training of Burkina Faso Boubacar Sawadogo on the possibilities of cooperation and to develop an algorithm for joint actions.

The following are promising educational projects in African countries:

— The “Russian Teacher Abroad” program, within the framework of which students from the pilot international class of the African school will study the Russian language.

— A program for training foreign students in working specialties under joint educational programs of African and Novosibirsk colleges. Those who successfully complete the training will be able to continue their studies at Novosibirsk universities. The pilot project includes colleges implementing training in agricultural, technical and natural science areas.

— The African continent is a priority region for the export of Russian education. Since 2024, NSU has been actively developing cooperation with African countries. In this context, agreements were signed with Thomas Sankara University (Burkina Faso) and Abdou Moumouni University (Niger). From December 2024 to July 2025, a preparatory department in the medical and biological profile operated jointly with the Russian House in Niger, in which 24 people studied. From March to the end of July 2025, online courses in the Russian language were opened at Thomas Sankara University, which were completed by 50 bachelors and masters. The next stage will be the organization of preparatory courses in the medical and biological profile, after which students will be able to continue their studies at NSU. The University also plans to organize scientific internships for young scientists and graduate students from Burkina Faso for 3-6 months, said Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU.

Another interesting project is the preliminary agreement reached between NSU and the University of Saint Dominic (USDAO) from Burkina Faso on joint training of medical personnel for this West African state. The cooperation agreement between the universities may be signed this summer.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On July 23, 2025, a delegation from the Chinese company Ruston GEEGE visited the State University of Management on a working visit.

The foreign guests were represented by Ruston GEEGE CEO Wang Changchun and the company's scientific and educational institute director Jiang Nannan. The delegation was received by GUU Rector Vladimir Stroyev, Vice-Rectors Dmitry Bryukhanov, Maria Karelina and other university representatives.

In his welcoming speech, Vladimir Stroyev noted that contacts between China and Russia have been expanding more and more actively lately. GUU also cooperates with colleagues from universities in China and wants to move to a new level, to agreements with Chinese commercial companies.

"As the leaders of our countries believe, we have a greater future together. GUU has been training Russian businessmen in China for several years now, in particular, in 2023 we conducted internships in Shanghai, and in 2024 – in Beijing. I think it is right to begin direct interaction between the university and Chinese companies," the rector suggested.

Vladimir Vitalyevich told the guests a brief history of the State University of Management, from the Aleksandrovsky Commercial School to the creation of a school for training personnel for the first five-year plans under the leadership of Sergo Ordzhonikidze.

"Since then, our university has been training managers in various sectors of the economy. If you look at the list of our graduates, they are very high-ranking leaders. Currently, this includes Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Patrushev, Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin, deputy ministers, and heads of production. Therefore, we feel a high responsibility in training people of such rank. I believe that future leaders should know China and understand the specifics of your technologies, production, and principles of building work processes, so that the common future of our peoples is happy," Vladimir Stroyev summed up.

Ruston GEEGE CEO Wang Changchun thanked the university leadership for the warm welcome and the opportunity to share his project ideas.

"Our company has been developing in the field of digital trade for over 10 years. We have our own warehouses in Russia, the USA, Brazil, Japan and other countries. We have received 60 patents and developed 20 educational products, which have already been used by about 100 thousand students. We will be happy to discuss with you the possibility of creating our Institute of Digital Economy on the basis of the State University of Management. Mutual integration will give us many new opportunities," said Wang Changchun.

Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Dmitry Bryukhanov spoke about the university’s cooperation with the Shanghai business incubator and the training of our 3rd and 4th year students in China.

"Last year, we conducted an internship in China for 50 Russian businessmen, which Vladimir Vitalyevich already mentioned. All the established connections led to the conclusion of contracts, but this is a drop in the ocean compared to the needs of the businesses of our countries. Now we are faced with the task of creating a training program for Chinese students in Russia and Russian students in China, so that they better understand each other's cultural characteristics and quickly establish interaction. In this regard, your project to create an institute of digital economy seems important and interesting to us," Dmitry Bryukhanov admitted.

Vice-Rector Maria Karelina agreed that the project proposed by the Chinese side was very interesting, but noted that time would be needed to study it in detail and determine ways to join it so that the partnership would be equal and would not violate the established order of the activities of the State University of Management as a state organization.

Director of the scientific and educational institute of Ruston GEEGE Jiang Nannan acquainted the management of the State University of Management with the plans for the creation of the Institute of Digital Economy and the stages of its implementation. Among other things, the project involves the creation of a common scientific and technical base, joint training programs in the field of digital business and the formation of a team of scientific leaders with a three-dimensional matrix of competencies.

Jiang Nannan also spoke about the new project of the Eurasian Alliance for Education in the Sphere of Cross-Border E-Commerce, the result of which will be integration with Russian marketplaces, the creation of a logistics system of the Ruston GEEGE company in Russia, support for Russian enterprises and the training of specialists in the field of cross-border online trade with an expected employment rate of up to 85%. Particular attention in the project will be paid to building a system of security measures for cross-border trade and dynamic pricing.

In response to this, Vladimir Stroyev told the guests about the partnership agreement between GUU and the united company Wildberries and Russ, as well as a business meeting at the SPIEF with its CEO Tatyana Kim. The rector reported that within the framework of the agreement with the marketplace, GUU is already developing an Olympiad for schoolchildren, which means it is moving in the direction that interests its Chinese colleagues.

At the end of the meeting, the parties exchanged contacts, discussed the possibility of further mutual visits and exchanged gifts. Wang Changchun presented Vladimir Stroyev with a traditional scroll with calligraphy by a famous master, which contains wishes for success and prosperity for the university and its students.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

We continue to tell how the student teams of "Polytech" spend their work season. With the beginning of summer holidays, the guys went all over the country to change the environment, earn money and get useful skills for independent living. Today, together with the SSO "Flame" we will visit Surgut, at the construction of a road bridge across the Ob River.

The second Surgut bridge is being built to relieve the only existing crossing over the Ob River, opened in 2000. In general, the facility is a transport network, including a highway, three overpasses, four small bridges and several interchanges. It will connect several Russian regions, help develop the oil and gas industry and the Arctic. The construction of the second Surgut bridge has been declared an all-Russian student construction project. The work is gradually moving towards the end, and the builders expect that thanks to young and energetic assistants, they will complete the construction already in the fourth quarter of this year.

Meanwhile, the guys from "Plamen" are sandblasting the metal structures inside the bridge, carefully cleaning them from traces of corrosion. The girls are not far behind – they paint the bolted connections and welds so that they do not become covered in rust again.

"We went to Surgut for the first time, where we are working with the contractor VMP-Engineering. Despite the completely new conditions, the members of our unit are working on the construction site with great pleasure and helping to complete the facility by the scheduled deadlines," said SSO "Flame" fighter Dmitry Chernyshov.

Students gain valuable experience working with compressors, sandblasting equipment, improve their skills in electricity, mechanics and find new friends. For many, this becomes an important stage in professional development and personal growth. Well, in their free time, the guys explore the sights of Surgut and the local cuisine, walk in the parks, ride the rides, and in the evenings in the hostel the whole group watches films and holds commissar meetings.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Polytechnic University is completing the main stage of accepting documents from foreign applicants. During the large-scale campaign, the university team participated in educational exhibitions, quota selections and webinars in the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the CIS.

Since autumn 2024, the university has presented its educational programs at 39 events, including 12 face-to-face (in China, Turkey, Vietnam, Morocco, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan) and six online exhibitions, 17 information webinars and four regional selection rounds jointly with Rossotrudnichestvo representative offices. Foreign applicants familiarized themselves with the new admission algorithms. To promote the Open Doors international Olympiad, which gives talented students a unique opportunity to enter the Polytechnic University and study for free, an interview with the winners was held. They told their compatriots about studying at SPbPU. Also, specialized webinars on the master's and bachelor's degree tracks were held jointly with the Global Universities Association.

This year, a unified algorithm for admission to Russian universities for foreign and Russian citizens was launched. Now foreigners participate in the general competition on an equal basis with Russian schoolchildren. The progress of admission can be monitored in real time through the competition lists, which are already available on the official website of the university. The results of the main stage of enrollment will be known in August. Based on the results of the summer campaign, additional recruitment will take place for the remaining vacancies.

An important innovation of the international Open Doors Olympiad is the opening of the bachelor's degree program for the winners. If previously only applicants for master's and postgraduate studies participated, now future bachelors can too. At the moment, about 300 applications have been received, and about a hundred of them are for bachelor's degree programs. Most of the guys participating in the Olympiad represent foreign countries and do not speak Russian. Therefore, after admission, they will begin their studies with a pre-university training program.

Polytechnic University traditionally attracts great interest from applicants from key regions: the CIS countries (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are in the lead), China and other BRICS countries, Turkey and Latin America (especially Colombia and Ecuador). At the same time, the number of representatives of the African continent interested in studying in pre-university training programs is growing at the university. To develop this area, Polytechnic University took part in a special series of events organized by the Rosatom State Corporation. A series of exhibition and presentation webinars and educational lectures covered nuclear technologies in energy and their non-energy applications in related industries. Popular science lectures were given by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Mechanical Engineering Hamuda Khaled and Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Technosphere Safety Jamilya Idrisova. The goal is to attract students from African countries to Rosatom's flagship universities to study in nuclear and related specialties in Russia.

A significant number of bachelor's and master's degree graduates choose to continue their education at SPbPU. According to preliminary data from the admissions campaign, over 2,000 applications have already been submitted for the main educational programs (bachelor's, master's, postgraduate) under the contract, and over 800 for the preparatory faculty. Candidates within the Russian Federation Government quota are also being considered. Over 800 applications have been processed to date.

The most popular bachelor's degree programs among applicants are economics and international relations, engineering and construction programs, IT and high technology. Of particular interest is the English-language program "International Business".

The following areas are in demand in the Master's program: construction, electric power engineering and electrical engineering, automation of technological processes, management, foreign regional studies, applied mechanics. The following English-language areas are also in demand: "Informatics and computing engineering", "Biotechnical systems and technologies", "Infocommunication technologies and communication systems", "Development of international business", "Intelligent systems", "Microelectronics of infocommunication systems", "Civil engineering" and "Molecular and cellular biotechnology".
