The Avangard Technological Lyceum in Omsk hosted the "Engineering Education Day" festival, bringing together leading national and regional universities, industrial enterprises, and organizations developing engineering and digital technologies. Among the participants was Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Vladimir Voronov, an engineer at the Industrial Stream Data Processing Systems Laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" at SPbPU, represented the Polytechnic University.

Guests at the event at the Avangard Technology Lyceum saw how MKAR is helping develop competencies in the field of unmanned systems.

The PSPOD laboratory showcased its development—the compact, wheeled, autonomous robot MKAR 3.1. The exhibit generated great interest among schoolchildren, teachers, and parents. Festival guests learned about the robot's capabilities and how it can be used to develop engineering and digital competencies in schoolchildren and students.

MKAR 3.1 is a new version of the educational and methodological toolkit for teaching robotics, unmanned systems, and programming. The robot is built on the ROS2 operating system and features omnidirectional wheels, modern sensors, and a modular design that allows for customization of its functionality to meet specific learning objectives. It also comes with a virtual simulator, enabling training even without access to a physical model.

Omsk boasts a modern educational center, the Avangard Lyceum, which educates talented and motivated students with a genuine interest in new engineering solutions and unmanned technologies. At the event, we saw keen interest from both students and their parents. Many carefully studied the design and functionality of the MKAR. Events like these are undoubtedly important for promoting engineering education and fostering a deeper understanding of modern unmanned systems among a wider audience, noted Vladimir Voronov.

The MKAR exhibit was part of the festival's extensive educational program, which included lectures and master classes from leading engineers, researchers, and industry representatives. The event was also attended by representatives of Omsk State Technical University, Omsk State Agrarian University, the Quantorium children's technology park, the Omsk Oil Refinery, and other industry representatives.

The Engineering Education Day festival is an excellent platform for showcasing cutting-edge engineering practices and strengthening ties between educational institutions, the scientific community, and industry. The participation of SPbPU and its laboratories in such events contributes to the strategic goal of building a continuous system of engineering education, from school to successful careers in industry.

Today, we congratulate the Department of Management in International Business and Tourism, the SUM Expeditionary Corps, and all lovers of package tours and independent travel on World Tourism Day!

The holiday was established by the General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization and has been celebrated in our country since 1983. It is intended to promote the development of international cooperation in the tourism industry, increase its contribution to the economy, and facilitate the exchange of cultural experiences.

Russia has experienced a significant increase in tourist flows in recent years. On average, the increase ranged from 11% to 20% depending on the region. The most popular domestic destinations last year were Krasnodar Krai (20.5% of total bookings), Moscow (18.8%), St. Petersburg (13.4%), the Moscow Region (3.5%), and Tatarstan (3.5%). The Leningrad Region and Mordovia demonstrated the highest growth (over 50%), with trips to Udmurtia, Vladimir, Voronezh, Samara, and Ulyanovsk Regions also seeing a significant increase. Demand for travel to Crimea and Kalmykia (48%), Arkhangelsk (34.3%), and Oryol Regions (31%) also increased. Experts predict a similar growth rate in regional tourism for the current year. This will be facilitated by the construction and renovation of local airports and the rerouting of flights around Moscow, which will reduce flight times and eliminate the need for transfers.

Among foreign resorts, the familiar Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, and Thailand still hold the undisputed lead. China has joined the top five. These countries will account for 85% of all foreign trips in 2024, representing 14 million tours—a 17% increase over the previous reporting period. The current year has also shown good figures, but it's too early to draw conclusions. Experts are confident that the introduction of a visa-free regime for Russian tourists by our Chinese partners on September 15 will also significantly increase tourist flow to China.

Travel holds a special place in everyone's life, so it's no wonder we tend to spend our vacations and holidays specifically on it. Whether we prefer camping in the wilderness or comfortable all-inclusive cruises, we always experience it as a small adventure that allows us to relax, forget about everyday life, and gain new impressions.

Once again, we congratulate everyone on the holiday and wish you exciting journeys along uncharted routes, giving you a wealth of positive memories and beautiful photographs.

On September 24, the State University of Management held a seminar-meeting for university management entitled "Tools for Developing Youth Entrepreneurship at the University: An Integrated Approach to Training Personnel for an Innovative Economy."

On behalf of the host party, Vladimir Stroev, Rector of the State University of Management, greeted those gathered.

"Today, we're meeting not just in a hall, but in the atrium of the SUM Business Center, where similar events are regularly held. This year, we've taken a special approach to building a business community, implementing programs to develop relevant skills not only for students but also for schoolchildren. For example, we hold entrepreneurship sessions at four of the country's largest children's centers: Artek, Okean, Smena, and Orlyonok. We work with students at our Pre-University Center. We've been supervising entrepreneurship classes for several years now, and their number is growing. We have a historical right to do this, as SUM's roots go back to the Aleksandrovsky Commercial School, where many famous merchant families studied. This is our specialty, and we will continue to move in this direction and cultivate leaders in all sectors," the rector concluded.

Next to speak was Ksenia Goryacheva, First Deputy Chair of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education, who urged seminar participants to be united and engaged and to view entrepreneurship as an opportunity for students, together with their teachers, to explore the world around them, apply their knowledge here and now, and find their place.

Alexander Vedekhin, Deputy Director of the Department of State Youth Policy and Educational Activities at the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, greeted the audience via videoconference. The expert described the development of the "Startup as a Diploma" project, noted the importance of building a community of university alumni, and emphasized that "today, every student should have the opportunity to connect with the business community and try their hand at starting their own business."

Moving from the welcome section to the working program, Olga Serebryannikova, Director of the Project Office for the Development of Youth Entrepreneurship in Higher Education Institutions of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, introduced the event's organizers and described its structure and objectives.

Participants participated in a project session, where, through group work, they formulated their proposals on creating the necessary conditions for the development of the youth business community.

Before the presentation of the results of the work in the groups, university representatives were welcomed by Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

"Today, there's a strong demand from students for technological entrepreneurship. From their first year, they strive to develop, create projects, and achieve success. Our goal is to provide them with education and the right knowledge, including teaching them that taking risks is okay, but only consciously. Over the past few years, many systematic efforts have been made in this area: the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform and the "Startup as a Diploma" project, which 198 universities have already joined. The presence of rectors and vice-rectors today demonstrates that we also have the internal administrative resources to address local issues. What we're discussing today and what you're doing in your organizations is important and necessary. Thank you for your work," concluded Olga Petrova.

The Deputy Minister also emphasized that all final results of the seminar-meeting will be systematized and presented to the Ministry of Education and Science.
