An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies Novosibirsk State University's Institute of Medical and Technical Medicine (IMMT) announced the launch of a special research training program, "Promising Researchers in Biomedicine." This project, the institute's first initiative of its kind, aims to identify and support talented undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students seeking careers in medicine and psychology.

The program's goal is to create conditions for the further professional growth of young scientists within the university, enhance their competencies in conducting interdisciplinary research, and prepare participants for effective collaboration in modern scientific teams.

On September 15th of this year, the application process for the program closed. Approximately 30 applicants were selected—senior students studying in the General Medicine and Psychology programs, graduate students, and residents at the Institute of Medical and Technical Medicine who demonstrated high academic achievements and scientific success.

A key element of the program will be a mentoring system, pairing each participant with an experienced specialist—an NSU staff member or faculty member. Academic advisors will help young scientists develop individual career development plans, including participation in projects, publishing articles, and presenting their results at relevant conferences.

An educational component is also provided, including a series of lectures and training sessions focused on developing professional knowledge and soft skills: the ability to present research results, the basics of organizing interdisciplinary projects, knowledge of the principles of bioethics and conducting clinical trials, public speaking skills, and scientific writing.

"This initiative is important to us as a key element of our strategy for training highly qualified specialists for Russian science. Our goal is not only to cultivate a new generation of scientists, but also to provide young talent with the necessary conditions to realize their potential right here at the university," noted Yulia Samoylova, Director of the NSU Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Technologies.

The project is being implemented as part of the Priority 2030 strategic academic leadership program and is designed to last two years. Graduates who successfully complete the talent pool program will receive advantages in future employment at NSU research departments and partner organizations.

An NSU student is creating a digital assistant that will help psychologists reduce their workload and avoid burnout.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Student Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics Anna Arinicheva of Novosibirsk State University is developing an intelligent assistant for psychologists that takes over routine tasks and helps specialists focus on working with clients. The project won a student initiative competition and received a 1 million ruble grant from the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE).

According to the idea's creators, the AU assistant will take notes on consultations, systematize client information, and generate reports on their progress. A key feature of the solution is an interpretable algorithm for identifying cognitive biases, which highlights speech patterns and draws conclusions.

"The goal of our project isn't to replace psychologists, but to support them. Currently, specialists have to simultaneously take notes, ask questions, and monitor the client's nonverbal responses. This significantly reduces concentration and increases the risk of burnout. An AU assistant takes over the routine, freeing the psychologist to focus on working with the client," explains Anna Arinicheva.

The development is designed for individual consultations in both online and offline formats. It can be used by beginning specialists, as well as in clinics, government agencies, and corporate corporations, where the workload of a single psychologist is particularly high. Moreover, all the assistant's findings must be verified by a specialist—the technology serves as a support tool, not a replacement for a professional.

"Our solution is especially relevant for growing professionals, aggregator platforms, and clinics where a single psychologist handles a huge daily client flow and needs to maintain documentation while providing high-quality support. The AU assistant enables psychologists to maintain their effectiveness and avoid burnout even with a large client flow," notes Anna Arinicheva.

Today, approximately 19 million people in Russia consult psychologists, while the number of specialists does not exceed 100,000. The high workload forces psychologists to either limit the number of clients or risk losing their effectiveness. Experts believe that digital tools like the AU assistant can be a valuable aid in addressing this issue.

The origins of the internal algorithm were laid by Anton Kolonin, a leading specialist at the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center, who currently oversees the development. NSU Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics graduate Evgeny Brazhnikov has joined the team and is responsible for prototyping. A working algorithm for identifying cognitive biases has already been developed, over 40 problem-solving interviews have been conducted, and letters of interest have been received from specialists at NSU, RANEPA, and the Ulyanovsk Region Association of Psychologists.

The team is currently preparing a prototype AU assistant for closed testing to identify potential flaws and refine the model before launching it. The grant funds will be used to complete the prototype and launch a marketing campaign. The minimum plan includes creating a Telegram bot that receives an audio recording of a consultation and provides a transcript, notes, and analytics on cognitive biases. Upon request, the bot will be able to generate reports on the client's progress from session to session. Promotion is planned through a subscription model, and the marketing strategy includes working with professional communities and creating a dedicated Telegram channel.

NSU students' participation in such projects demonstrates the university's key advantage: its education is closely linked to real-world research and entrepreneurial practice. According to the university, such initiatives allow students not only to gain unique experience but also to bring their developments to market.

On September 17, a meeting was held at the State University of Management between Rector Vladimir Stroev and Rector of the Rosstandart Academy Alexander Zazhigalkin.

The leaders discussed the strengths of their educational institutions and possible areas for future cooperation.

Vladimir Stroyev spoke about the history of the State University of Management, noting its commitment to educational traditions combined with a modern approach.

"The topic of standardization is close to the heart of SUM, as for many years during the Soviet era, our university was involved in everything related to the planned economy. At one time, it was here that the associations for developing standards for educational programs such as management, human resources, and state and municipal administration were based. Many departments still exist and maintain their traditions. We are actively reviving engineering education and research at our university. Our student design bureau won a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science among all the universities in the country. This is not so much about money as it is about status and recognition."

In turn, Alexander Zazhigalkin presented the Academy's areas of activity, its achievements, and development plans.

"Our academy is a leader in quality management. Every year, over 12,000 people study in 200 programs at branches and core departments across the country. These are primarily engineers and technical specialists, but we also include economists and company executives. In terms of continuing education, we are regional leaders in our field. Standardization and quality management are important in many areas of activity and are becoming increasingly relevant today," shared the rector of the Rosstandart Academy.

Vice-Rector Maria Karelina introduced the guest to the research projects currently underway at SUM and those planned for the near future. Alexander Zazhigalkin expressed interest and suggested exploring this topic further in their future work.

Another important area noted by the parties was network educational programs. Vladimir Stroyev emphasized that "the State University of Management has chosen a strategy of interaction and expanding cooperation," and cited examples of the joint Advanced Engineering School with the M.D. Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technical University and a network program with the Kuban Agricultural University.

Following the meeting, the leaders identified key areas of potential collaboration, agreed to create working groups, and draft a cooperation agreement and a roadmap for implementing joint projects.
