The 3rd International Youth Conference "Frontline City Leningrad," dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945, was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. It was organized jointly with the State Memorial Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad and supported by the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, the Committee on Science and Higher Education, the Committee on Youth Policy and Interaction with Public Organizations, and the Archives Committee of St. Petersburg. This year, over 150 applications from 30 universities in Russia, Belarus, and Uzbekistan were submitted to participate in the conference.

Maxim Pasholikov, SPbPU Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security, delivered welcoming remarks at the grand opening: "We often encounter students who come to us from other cities who are unaware of the events our city endured during the Great Patriotic War. Many are not fully aware of the proud title of Hero City of Leningrad. That's why we consider it our important mission to hold such events and share stories about those events. During the war and the siege, our students and staff accomplished heroic deeds. We are currently researching archival documents related to the 3rd Frunze Division, which recruited militia members from our university. They fought on the Karelian borders. Currently, the Polytechnic University has two search teams that travel to battlefields. This work is already part of our tradition."

Alexander Belsky, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, addressed the participants: The Siege of Leningrad is one of the most tragic and simultaneously heroic pages in human history. 872 days of courage, fortitude, and faith in victory. Today, when attempts are being made to rewrite history and diminish the heroism of the Soviet people, your research to preserve historical truth takes on particular significance. It is you who will pass on to future generations the true knowledge of what Leningrad endured and how it endured. May your research be a worthy contribution to preserving the memory of the great feat of the defenders and residents of besieged Leningrad.

This year's conference was dedicated to those who, during the war, demonstrated incredible courage, selflessness, and love for their homeland—those who served at the front and in the home front. This is the story of teachers, doctors, children, and all those who defended our city. Today, we not only remember them, but also learn from them resilience and responsibility.

This topic is crucial for the entire country. And now, in the context of a special military operation, preserving historical memory, the memory of our ancestors' exploits, is, of course, crucial. And, in turn, the Committee on Youth Policy and Interaction with Public Organizations and its subordinate agencies are doing a tremendous amount of work to foster patriotic education among young people. Competitions, large-scale campaigns, and the development of volunteer movements are all being implemented," noted Olga Kryuchkova, Head of the Department of Civic and Patriotic Education of Youth at the Committee on Youth Policy and Interaction with Public Organizations.

Acting Director of the State Memorial Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad, Anatoly Perebykovsky, emphasized: "The Battle of Leningrad occupies a special place in the Great Patriotic War. It is the longest period of history, and its memory must not be erased. The State Memorial Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad is the largest center for preserving the historical memory of this heroic deed. A team of like-minded individuals has formed at the museum, including staff from SPbPU and other St. Petersburg universities. And our museum is the permanent coordinator of this important event."

Leonid Govorov, grandson of Marshal of the Soviet Union Leonid Govorov, advisor to the Governor of St. Petersburg, and chairman of the public council of the State Memorial Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad, noted the significance of the conference: "The Battle of Leningrad occupies a special place in the history of the Great Patriotic War. It is highly symbolic that the conference is being held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. During the war, teachers, scientists, and students of this leading research center dedicated their efforts, knowledge, and lives to the victory over the enemy. This conference at the Polytechnic University has special significance for me, as Leonid Alexandrovich Govorov studied here in the shipbuilding department."

Isai Kuzinets, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Member of the Council of the St. Petersburg Public Organization of Veterans (Pensioners, Disabled) of War, Labor, the Armed Forces, and Law Enforcement Agencies, and Head of the Committee for Cultural and Educational Work of the Council of the Veterans Organization, also spoke to the participants about the history of the Battle of Leningrad.

Following the welcoming remarks, a plenary session was held in the White Hall of SPbPU, where students from St. Petersburg universities presented their reports on the Great Patriotic War and the Siege of Leningrad. Among them were representatives from the Polytechnic University. Polina Bolshakova spoke about the heroic deeds of pilot Alexander Petrovich Mamkin (1916–1944). Pavel Vasyutin presented a paper entitled "The Leningrad Branch of the All-Union Institute of Plant Growing in the Reports of Research Associates (1942–1943)."

The final round of the "Innovative Solutions for Oncology" case championship, organized by the CHEMRAR Entrepreneurs' Club and the Senezh Management Center, took place in Moscow.

At the championship, teams tackled a pressing problem: developing an AI tool to automate the planning of bioequivalence studies—a key step in the registration of generic drugs. Participants were tasked with creating a prototype system capable of optimizing study design, calculating sample size, generating protocol synopses, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

SPbPU was represented by Zakhar Vcherashny, a fourth-year student at the Higher School of Automation and Robotics at IMMiT. His team developed a prototype of the Ipharma AI AI system, which automates the design of bioequivalence studies, reduces the workload of specialists, and accelerates documentation preparation. The solution included integration with pharmacokinetic databases (PubMed, DrugBank), sample calculation taking into account intra-subject variability, and the generation of a structured synopsis in LaTeX/Word format.

During the final stage, the team participated in a poster session, presenting key technical and methodological aspects of their solution to experts and colleagues. Participants gained valuable experience interacting with the professional community, exchanged ideas, and discussed the prospects for implementing artificial intelligence in the pharmaceutical industry.

"Participating in the case championship was a unique opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in practice and work on a real-world problem relevant to the pharmaceutical industry. "We were able to demonstrate how modern technologies can optimize routine processes and impact the quality of research," Zakhar Vcherashny shared his impressions.

The team's project exemplifies an interdisciplinary approach, combining expertise in biostatistics, pharmacology, and machine learning. Participation in the championship allowed the students to expand their professional networks and gain experience working on innovative healthcare solutions.

Two Polytechnic University developments in the field of digital transformation have received patents from the Federal Service for Intellectual Property.

The "Digital Industry Technologies (University Location)" computer simulator will become a new tool for teaching the digital economy at universities. The simulator is designed for independent practical work by students and advanced training program participants. Users make management and technological decisions in an interactive game format within a virtual university, receiving automatic feedback and a detailed analysis of the consequences of their actions. The system supports unstructured responses based on large language models, online group collaboration, ratings, and progress indicators, and also provides secure data storage and remote access through a client-server architecture.

The development responds to the demand for accelerated implementation of digital tools in industry, education, and public administration.

"The 'Digital Industry Technologies' simulator (University location) was created by the team from SPbPU's Advanced Engineering School 'Digital Engineering' for a large-scale online course taken by all first-year students at the Polytechnic University," said Vladislav Tereshchenko, a senior lecturer at the Advanced Digital Technologies School 'Digital Engineering' and one of the developers. "It was a mandatory element of the educational program, allowing students to interactively immerse themselves in the logic of digital production and management decision-making. A new stage begins next year—students will master a course on technological leadership, and our team is already preparing a new simulator for it."

The research team, led by Alexey Borovkov, Director of the SPbPU Digital Engineering School, in addition to Vladislav Tereshchenko, includes Sergey Salkutsan, Director of the Center for Continuing Professional Education at the Digital Engineering School; Pavel Kozlovsky, Chief Engineer of the Strategic Development of Engineering Markets Research Laboratory; and Andrey Shimchenko and Elena Kasyanenko, senior lecturers at the Higher School of Advanced Digital Technologies.

A patent has also been issued for the first digital simulator, "Lean College," for managers in secondary vocational education. Users are encouraged to simulate the real-life situation at an educational institution: identify inconsistencies in scheduling, logistics, and document flow, and use Lean tools to see how the institution's performance indicators change. This format is particularly in demand amid the push to digitalize management and improve the efficiency of secondary vocational education: the simulator allows for experimentation with solutions without risking disruption to the educational process, while simultaneously accelerating the implementation of lean technologies in training for industry and high-tech sectors.

"'Lean College' is a logical continuation of our most popular simulator, 'Lean Manufacturing,'" explains Vladislav Tereshchenko. "It was developed specifically for the secondary vocational education and project-based learning system, including as part of the 'Lean Future' program with the support of the St. Petersburg government. The simulator adapts the lean approach to educational organization processes: it helps college administrators and faculty identify and eliminate waste, model, and test lean management changes. The development was carried out with the participation of an expert group from St. Petersburg colleges—we jointly identified best practices and assessed the feasibility of implementing a lean approach in secondary vocational organizations."

At the Polytechnic Institute (PSI) "CI," a series of simulators covering various levels of education and industry are being developed using the CML-Bench.EDU digital platform. The university's digital technology simulator addresses the challenge of engaging students broadly in digital production culture at the start of their studies. "Lean College" is a response to a real need in the secondary vocational education system: in 2024, the Polytechnic Institute trained 35 teachers and 417 students from nine colleges in St. Petersburg and held competitions. In 2026, the PSI "CI" simulator was adapted for the competition tasks of the regional stage of the "Professionals" championship in the Murmansk region, where a university representative served as a technical expert.

Vladislav Tereshchenko clarified that the basic "Lean Manufacturing" simulator was originally created specifically for an industrial context and to engage students in real-world production. Over the past five years, more than 20,000 people have been trained using digital simulators and training tools created by the PISh "CI" team. Projects include the "Wings of Rostec" educational program, AtomSkills, five training streams for the United Aircraft Corporation, the SPbPU Presidential Program, and continuing education programs for enterprises. The simulator simulates the entire production cycle—from demand research and component procurement to assembly, logistics, and product shipment to customers, making it a versatile tool for both training and competitive formats.
