The Russian-Armenian University in Yerevan held the final defense of student projects completed within the framework of the course "Fundamentals of Project Activity" (OPA), which SPbPU and RAU have been implementing for the second year. 20 project teams were admitted to the in-person defense, and 19 of them successfully confirmed their results, demonstrating a noticeable qualitative growth compared to the pilot launch of the 2023/2024 academic year. 17 teams showed significant product and educational results.

The course "Fundamentals of Project Activities" is part of the strategic partnership of the two universities and a key tool for implementing a practice-oriented education model. Since the 2024/2025 academic year, the discipline has become mandatory for five areas of study at the Institute of Economics and Business of RAU (economics, tourism, trade and hotel business, management) and was available optionally to students of other programs. Starting next year, at the initiative of the management and teachers of RAU, there will be even more areas of study where this discipline will be mandatory.

The second launch of the course at RAU involved 12 mentor teachers, whose training began in December 2024. RAU teachers completed an intensive course on project activity tools and mentoring of student projects, and experienced the entire process of completing the course that students face.

In February 2025, an introductory lecture was held for RAU students, where they learned about the structure and features of the upcoming course. The lecture was given by teachers of SPbPU and RAU: senior researcher of the International Academic Competence Center "Intelligent Enterprise Technologies" of the Digital Engineering School Anton Ambrazhey, senior lecturer of the Higher School of Project Activity and Innovation in Industry (IMMiT) Inna Seledtsova and head of the Department of Educational Policy and Quality Control of Education of RAU Ruzanna Airapetova.

In April 2025, Anton Ambrazhey and Inna Seledtsova visited RAU on a working visit, discussed the intermediate results of the projects with the teams and course mentors, and gave recommendations for their further implementation and specification.

A distinctive feature of the second launch of the course at RAU was the involvement of external customers (travel agency GoToDili, Green Rock, Green Training Center). The projects presented by the customers confirmed the trend that began to form during the first launch: the OPD course at RAU is capable of creating a new level and diversity of products in the tourism landscape of Armenia. Thus, most of the projects this year from internal and external customers of RAU were dedicated to the current needs of the tourism industry of Armenia, and the internal tasks of the university were also well presented as projects.

According to the results of the 2024/2025 competition, the first place was taken by the project "Conducting an assessment of the quality of education by students of the Institute of Economics and Business", completed by students of the Management program under the mentorship of the senior manager of the Department of Economics and Finance Iveta Stepanyan. The second place was taken by the project "Cultural and educational event "Russian Language Day", mentored by Associate Professor of the Department of Russian Language and Professional Communication Liana Petrosyan. The third place went to the project "Green Tourism", implemented under the guidance of the chief manager of correspondence courses of the IEB Lolita Tashchyan.

"At the last defense, seventeen projects out of twenty received high scores. It is clear that a core of motivated mentors and students is being formed. Perhaps it is the personalized approach to the team, the high involvement of mentors that is the unique path of RAU project activities, along which we will continue to help colleagues develop," noted Anton Ambrazhey.

Inna Seledtsova emphasized the research significance of the work: "It is very important that many projects have come closer to understanding the true needs of the end users of their project results: someone went with a mentor to Dilijan to talk to tourists, someone conducted online surveys with business owners and identified an unobvious need for training, someone conducted surveys among students. We still have room to grow in the quality of such studies, which are a key link in understanding the problems of the project, but the first steps in this year's research were very worthy."

At the final series of meetings with mentors, with the Vice-Rector of RAU for Academic Affairs Marina Khachatryan, with the Head of the Department of Educational Policy and Quality Control of Education of RAU Ruzanna Ayrapetova, the course support team from SPbPU recorded development vectors for the next academic year: localization of part of the educational content, adaptation of project activity artifacts to the specifics of RAU, strengthening of the internal PR course, training of new mentors in the fall of 2025 and the third launch of the course with updated materials in February 2026.

An important result of the second launch of the course was the formation of the need for independent processes for implementing the "Fundamentals of Project Activity" at RAU. If in the first launches the course was supported, for the most part, within the framework of processes identical to SPbPU, then by the upcoming third launch not only the need for content localization has been identified, but also the need for our own student assessment system, for motivating them and mentors, for adaptation to online learning, since the OPD course became RAU's first experience in mass online learning. All this will form the basis for the joint work of SPbPU and RAU in the next academic year.

A working meeting was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University between SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, the Minister of Science, Higher Education and Technological Development of the Arkhangelsk Region Alexey Aksenov and the Acting Rector of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov Mikhail Danilov.

The main topic of discussion was the creation of the "Competence Center for the Application of Laser Welding and Additive Technologies in Shipbuilding". The initiative is aimed at developing joint scientific research, accelerating the implementation of innovative technologies and strengthening the country's technological sovereignty in key industries.

The meeting was attended by the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy, the vice-rector for research work of SPbPU Yuri Fomin, the head of the Research Laboratory "Laser and Additive Technologies" of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport Mikhail Kuznetsov, and professor of the Higher School of Physics and Materials Technology of IMMiT Sergey Parshin.

"Polytechnic has always been and remains a forge of engineering personnel capable of not only working in the current conditions, but also shaping the technological agenda of tomorrow. Today, we are betting on the development of advanced technologies in the field of materials science, laser and additive processes, digital engineering – those areas that are already determining the appearance of the industry of the future. Cooperation with colleagues from the Arctic region opens up new horizons: we combine fundamental science, engineering schools and real production tasks. I am confident that this synergy will become the basis for comprehensive solutions that can change the infrastructure of the North and become an example for other regions of the country," Andrey Rudskoy emphasized.

It is worth noting that over the course of three years of close cooperation with the Scientific and Educational Center "Russian Arctic" of NArFU, specialists of the Scientific and Research Laboratory "Laser and Additive Technologies" of IMMiT SPbPU have completed several projects on direct laser growth and laser welding of thin metals. Now the polytechnicians are faced with the task of developing a technology for hybrid laser-arc welding of samples with a blunting thickness of at least 30 mm. In the future, joint interests include the creation of a technological complex and the introduction of laser technologies into the production of city-forming enterprises.

At the meeting, the guests voiced a proposal to create a center, discussed the levels of interaction and upcoming stages of joint work.

"For the Arkhangelsk Region, the development of advanced production technologies capable of ensuring reliable and efficient operation in the conditions of the North and the Arctic is especially important. Joint scientific projects and the creation of a competence center are a step towards a real technological breakthrough. We are counting on practical results and are ready for systematic work on the implementation of new solutions in shipbuilding and related industries," noted Alexey Aksenov.

During the visit, a tour of the university campus and research laboratories of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport of SPbPU took place. The guests examined the equipment of the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory in most detail. They were interested in the robotic technological complexes and exhibits manufactured as part of joint projects with the Russian Arctic Research and Education Center of NArFU.

"In recent years, within the framework of cooperation with the Scientific and Educational Center "Russian Arctic" of NArFU, we have successfully implemented several projects using direct laser growth and laser welding technologies. We see great interest in laser technologies from the Arctic region and are confident that the next stage of cooperation will allow us to move from pilot solutions to large-scale integration of technologies into production," said Mikhail Kuznetsov, Director of the Russian-German Center for Laser Technologies.

Alexey Aksenov and Mikhail Danilov showed keen interest in the scientific developments of the Polytechnic University and expressed readiness for further cooperation. Following the meeting, a decision was made to hold a series of working meetings for a more detailed discussion of the project.

The visit of the delegation from the Arkhangelsk region became an important step towards strengthening interregional scientific and technical cooperation. SPbPU and NArFU intend to develop a strategic partnership aimed at the technological development of the shipbuilding industry and the Arctic region.

HSE ART GALLERY in partnership with the platform Artz. Vork continues the cycle of group exhibition projects from the “Big Themes” series, rethinking fundamental ideas and offering new interpretations of timeless concepts. This time, the theme of the exhibition was flowers – their images, symbolism and meanings.

Flowers are traditionally associated with transience: they do not live long, quickly fade, and disappear almost without a trace. Therefore, flora in art often becomes an image of memory, loss, something that slips away but continues to exist. Alexandra Lurye, Maria Panina, Anna Stavinozhenko, and Alina Kerimova work in this vein. In the context of the climate and political crisis, flora is increasingly acquiring features of vulnerability and anxiety — as in the works of Anastasia Kovaleva, Alexandra Zamurueva, and Polina Filippova. Some artists — Irina Afanasyeva and Galya Fadeeva — radically rethink the very idea of the “language of flowers,” rejecting established symbols in favor of new ways of expression. When we talk about flowers, we most often imagine something living, fragile, tangible. But what happens when flora loses its materiality and turns into a digital image? This question is asked by Masha Rogova, Dariella, and Olga Filina. Flowers at the exhibition become a reason for a conversation about identity, personal history and deep self-reflection — in the works of Inga Tatarshao, Ekaterina Ivanitskaya and Marya Dmitrieva. Separately, the exhibition presents “Flower Horoscope” — a fantasy digital project by the art group Agey Tomesh.

One of the conceptual lines of the exhibition is the metaphorical convergence of the phenomena of herbarium and collecting. To collect a herbarium and to collect art means to touch time. In both cases, it is about choosing, selecting and preserving what can disappear. However, in the post-digital era, when the boundaries between the physical and the virtual are increasingly blurred, a new form of interaction with art is emerging – phygital collecting, combining the material (physical) and the digital (digital). Being part of the exhibition program Biennale of private collections, the project invites us to reflect on the nature of phygital collecting. This format became the basis of the platform Artz. Vork, where viewers can find all the works on display — add a memorable piece to their digital collection and purchase a print based on it. The Flower Horoscope is an archaic system of symbolic classification found in cultural layers of the supposed pre-continental period. Unlike astrological systems based on observation of stellar movement, this model correlates human individuality with phenological cycles — the flowering time of plants, seasonal weather changes, and the migration of fauna.

Each day of the modern calendar year corresponds to a certain type of ancient plant (usually a flower), supposedly possessing its own "character" or behavioral metaphor. It is believed that a person born on this day inherits the qualities attributed to "his" plant, as well as its supposed role in the natural-social structure.

The heat is on: real summer has arrived in St. Petersburg, and applicants have just over a week to apply for admission to a university. There are many opportunities, but it is difficult to make the right choice. Not all graduates leave school with a clear understanding of where exactly they will go to get higher education. Sometimes a strong emotion becomes a turning point for making a decision. For example, many students stay to study at the Polytechnic University under the impression of the beauty of its buildings and park. But first, they need to get there. Potential students will be helped by… superheroes of the Polytechnic Universe.

Now you can see them on light boxes in the vestibules and on the escalators of eleven stations of the St. Petersburg metro, and they will definitely not let you go astray. If you get on the wrong line, change to the red one. If you hear in the train: "The next station is Politekhnicheskaya", get off, this is where you need to go. Go up the escalator, the superheroes will wave their hand in greeting – and now you are outside, and you are greeted by the snow-white main building of the Polytechnic and a green park with a 46-meter old tower. You must admit, there is no better place for student life.

"This year we have kept the slogan of the previous admissions campaign, "You are the main hero!" It has proven itself well," said Dmitry Voronov, Head of the Department for Promotion of Educational Programs at SPbPU. "The corporate style with comic book characters was created by the Visual Communications Department of the Public Relations Office, and the advertising layouts were prepared by the Department for Promotion of Educational Programs."

Let us recall that in 2024, almost 145 thousand applications were submitted for budget places in the bachelor's and specialist's degree programs at the Polytechnic University – this is 70% more than in 2023. It is too early to sum up the results of the 2025 admissions campaign, but by July 15, 108,126 applications had already been submitted for all forms of study in the bachelor's and specialist's degree programs. The largest number – 26,000 applications – were received by the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity, in second place (25,000) – the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade, in third (12,000) – the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport.

Among the areas of training, the most popular are “Software Engineering”, “Construction”, “Information Systems and Technologies”.

The admissions committee notes the continued high demand of applicants for all areas of the IT sphere and the growing interest in such areas of training as: "Nuclear Power Engineering and Thermal Physics", "Thermal Power Engineering and Thermal Engineering", "Automation of Technological Processes and Production", "Biotechnology".

The acceptance of documents continues. The rules of the admission campaign and its progress can be found aton our website.

On July 14, 2025, an extended meeting of the General and Coordinating Councils of the All-Russian public organization "Business Russia" was held with the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Anton Kotyakov, in which the Rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev took part.

The meeting was devoted to issues of personnel policy, in particular, the solution to the problem of creating conditions for increasing the economic activity of citizens, the transition to a high-wage economy based on improving the quality of jobs and increasing labor productivity, which was set by Vladimir Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"It is very important that the Russian economy is undergoing a structural transformation. We are experiencing significant changes, including in the labor market: labor relations and forms of employment are changing, and the growing and changing needs of the economy play a significant role in the ability to provide production with labor resources," said Alexey Repik, chairman of Delovaya Rossiya, in his welcoming speech.

Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Anton Kotyakov spoke about the mechanisms of the national project "Personnel" and presented the results of the first personnel forecast of the economy for the next 5 years. According to him, in the horizon up to 2030, it will be necessary to attract about 10.9 million people to the economy. The main reserve is youth.

According to the head of the Ministry of Labor, a pilot project for individual support of students has already been implemented in 11 regions of Russia, which allows companies to select a promising employee and prepare him for a specific workplace. From the new academic year, the pilot will be scaled up throughout Russia. Work will also continue on free retraining of adult applicants in 360 of the most in-demand professions with subsequent employment. In addition, the national project "Personnel" provides for subsidizing the equipment of a workplace for citizens with disabilities, including veterans of a special military operation, and compensation for employee expenses when moving to another region for employment.

Among the experts who took part in the extended meeting of the General and Coordinating Councils of Delovaya Rossiya were: Deputy Chairman of Delovaya Rossiya Anton Danilov-Danilyan, Head of the Expert Center for Labor Relations and Occupational Safety of Delovaya Rossiya Vitaly Fedin, Chairman of the St. Petersburg Regional Branch of Delovaya Rossiya Dmitry Panov, Head of the Executive Committee of Delovaya Rossiya Nonna Kagramanyan, with whom the Rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev held a working meeting last week, and other experts.

The participants of the meeting presented their initiatives and specific projects for training personnel in a number of industries, which are already being implemented at the enterprises of the members of "Business Russia", and also proposed formats for systemic interaction between business and government in terms of implementing the national project "Personnel". The participants agreed to continue interaction to develop coordinated solutions and make such meetings regular.
