Scientists from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have created a unified database of chalcogenide glasses, which contains more than 20,000 records of their compositions and properties. The database is based on information published in scientific studies over the past 50 years, and includes most of the existing experimental results of studying the characteristics of chalcogenide glassy materials. Database chalcogenide glasses is patented and registered by the Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent). To work with the database, the Polytechnics developed a web interface that allows sorting, exporting and analyzing data by composition and properties. Thanks to this, new opportunities are opening up for the accelerated design of promising chalcogenide glasses – key materials for modern infrared optics, thermal imagers and night vision systems.

Chalcogenide glasses are amorphous inorganic materials in which oxygen atoms are replaced by sulfur, selenium or tellurium atoms. Chalcogenide glasses have attracted attention since their discovery due to their unique properties: due to the absence of oxygen in the structure, they have wide transparency in the infrared range, a high refractive index and a low softening point. The growth of practical interest in these materials in the last five years is associated with the development of thermal imaging systems and a more than threefold increase in the price of single-crystal germanium, the main material for the infrared spectral region up to 14 μm. Due to the great fragmentation and lack of systematization of published data, as well as the lack of a system for displaying the characteristics of glass compositions, the process of developing new compositions with the required set of properties has become more complex. Traditionally, it is based on the analysis of phase diagrams and the construction of local regression models.

To solve this problem, an interdisciplinary group of scientists from the Scientific and Educational Center "Nanotechnology and Coatings" of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport and the Higher School of Software Engineering of SPbPU carried out large-scale work to create a unified database. Using large language models (LLM – Large Language Model), scientists aggregated and structured information from more than 1000 scientific publications. In addition to the database itself, using artificial intelligence methods, models were developed to predict the properties of previously unknown glass compositions.

The main result of the work was not just a database, but an entire analytical platform. For the convenience of researchers, a specialized web interface has been developed that allows for prompt data analysis, comparison of results, and export of search results. To simulate the characteristics of glass before the stage of expensive laboratory synthesis, a model for predicting key glass parameters (density, softening temperature, refractive index) was developed based on machine learning models and neural networks. The proposed approach significantly reduces the time spent on developing promising compositions at the initial stage of research. In the future, it is planned to expand the scope of application of the predicted glass parameters, – said the project manager, PhD in Physics and Mathematics Victor Klinkov.

The software package can serve as a basis for the emergence of a new approach to the design of optical systems. The platform lays the foundation for a fundamentally different methodology: now it is possible to design "from the opposite" – from the characteristics required by the system to the targeted synthesis of material with the necessary parameter values. An important aspect of the project is its general availability. The platform creates a single field for scientific work, allowing both novice scientists and experienced specialists to quickly analyze their results in the context of global research practice and plan new projects.

The practical significance of the work lies in expanding the boundaries of understanding the nature of the glassy state using AI tools and in creating prerequisites for implementing these results in industrial optics design systems. Today, there are no direct analogues of the developed platform in Russia.

The work was carried out within the framework of the Blue Sky Research Digital Labs Campus project with the support of the St. Petersburg Foundation for the Support of Innovations and Youth Initiatives. Now scientists are improving the algorithmic support and expanding the functionality of the platform for the international scientific community.

RVB Company (United Company Wildberries

Let us recall that the cooperation agreement between the Russian Military Library and the State University of Management was signed in April of this year.

The interdisciplinary Olympiad includes a range of general education subjects: computer science, economics, social studies, English language and additional areas – financial and management literacy, basics of public speaking, project management.

"We at RVB are creating a comprehensive educational ecosystem for the development of future entrepreneurs – from school to professional development. Our joint Olympiad with the State University of Management "The Future of Business" is a chance for Russian schoolchildren to prove themselves and the opportunity to take their first steps in entrepreneurship," said Tatyana Kim.

Participants of the Olympiad will receive career advice from experts, points for admission to the State University of Management, certificates for finalists and gifts from the RVB company.

"The Aleksandrovskoye Commercial School, on the basis of which the State University of Management was later founded, trained entrepreneurs and businessmen even in the pre-revolutionary era and was associated with many famous representatives of the Moscow merchant class. All these years, we have continued and developed the traditions of Russian entrepreneurship, trained specialized specialists, organized thematic excursions, opened entrepreneurship classes, and now, together with the Russian Higher School of Management, we will implement an Olympiad for talented schoolchildren who will be able to develop the economy of our country in the future," shared Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management.

In addition, RVB, together with the State University of Management, will launch the Children's Business School (DBS) in the fall — a free educational program for schoolchildren. Online courses that are available for independent study from anywhere in the world. As part of the online school, students will learn about the experience of large entrepreneurs, master basic tools for work — resource search and risk management — learn to form business ideas and strategies, find partners and scale their business, and in the end, launch their own business project. After each educational block, students have access to interactive tasks to consolidate the knowledge they have gained. Completing the DBS course will help schoolchildren prepare for participation in the Olympiad on innovative entrepreneurship.

We will inform you about the start of the Olympiad later.

September 8 marks International Literacy Day, established by UNESCO in 1966.

The holiday is intended to remind people of the importance of basic numeracy and writing skills, and to promote efforts to combat illiteracy. This is especially relevant in the era of widespread and rapidly developing tools based on artificial intelligence. People are gradually losing the need to properly format written speech, since modern Internet technologies are built in such a way that they understand requests even with errors.

According to last year's international study of adult skills conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), reading and mathematical literacy, as well as the ability to solve problems, are falling almost everywhere in the world. Only 1% of respondents showed the maximum level in the tests. Over the past 10 years since the last similar study, only residents of Denmark and Finland have become better readers. France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Israel, South Korea and other developed countries show below-average results in all three types of skills. Experts believe that the influx of migrants spoils the statistics of these countries, but they also admit that this is not the only problem. Adults in general have become worse at reading and writing, but they still significantly outperform school-age children in the tests – that is, the decline in literacy is systemic.

Some may wonder why it is necessary to follow the rules at all, if AI and Internet bots perfectly understand queries with errors and give relevant answers? But as Vladimir Putin correctly noted at the Eastern Economic Forum, artificial intelligence and neural networks are only a tool, and decision-making and responsibility for them lies with a person. And making the right decisions without the ability to read and write is impossible.

The State University of Management congratulates everyone on the International Literacy Day, especially our Department of Russian Language and General Disciplines. Remember that following the basic rules of speech construction in communication, numeracy skills and general erudition keep human civilization from degradation and collapse. Take care of yourself, read books, write correctly.

On the morning of September 8, in the Polytechnic buildings, the sentries of the "Memory Watch" — students of the SPbPU Military Training Center — stood in honor guard at the steles with lit candles and 125-gram pieces of bread. This is how the university has been beginning mourning and solemn events dedicated to the day the Leningrad siege began for many years. This year, the tragic date was celebrated for the 84th time.

At 12 o'clock, Polytechnic University teachers laid flowers at the memorial at the Bogoslovskoye Cemetery. And at 13 o'clock, SPbPU staff and students came to a rally at the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians.

Every year, in addition to the university staff and residents of besieged Leningrad, new participants appear here – first-year students who have just entered the university. Those who came to St. Petersburg from other regions know little about the blockade. Therefore, for them, this rally is one of the first lessons in the history of the city.

Associate Professor of the Higher School of Social Sciences Ivan Kolomeitsev recalled that the siege of Leningrad by Nazi troops and their accomplices lasted from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944. According to official data, the number of civilian casualties reached almost 1 million 100 thousand people. During the siege, workshops for the production of equipment necessary for the front were organized at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute. Polytechnic engineers ensured the operation of the ice route on Lake Ladoga, the famous Road of Life. Military equipment developed by LPI graduates was produced at defense plants in our country.

Dear veterans, colleagues, the Leningrad blockade is one of the most dramatic pages of the Great Patriotic War. The further it goes into the past, the more vivid many of the events of those years become. It seems to me that what happened then in Leningrad has no analogues in history. As it is written on the granite slab of the monument where we have gathered, the polytechnicians did everything with their labor and military feat to withstand and win. In this mournful moment, let us remember those who gave their lives during the blockade, – Advisor to the rector's office, Professor Vladimir Glukhov addressed the participants of the rally.

The memory of the victims was honored with a minute of silence.

Veterans of the Polytechnic University, children of war and residents of besieged Leningrad Zinaida Matveyevna Filina and Irina Vasilyevna Novozhilova also spoke at the rally. They thanked the younger generation for their memory and attention to the veterans.

On behalf of the youth, 11th grade students of the Natural Science Lyceum Rodion Kurskiyev and Anatoly Zozulya spoke; they read poems by Vera Inber and Alexander Prokofiev.

The rally ended with the laying of flowers at the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians. After that, the cadets of the Military Training Center and the Polytechnic activists went to the Piskarevskoye Cemetery to lay a wreath and flowers at the memorial and burial site of the Polytechnicians.

On September 5, 2025, the State University of Management hosted the ceremonial launch of the educational program “Banking Business Management” – a joint project of Expobank JSC and the State University of Management, as well as the opening of the Expobank laboratory.

Let us recall that the cooperation agreement between GUU and Expobank was signed in February of this year.

The opening ceremony of the laboratory and the launch of the program began with a ceremonial ribbon cutting, after which the students of the State University of Management were presented not only with a bright classroom with small comfortable tables equipped with 26 new laptops, but also with the prospect of becoming leaders in the financial industry.

Expobank has 37 branches in 19 regions of Russia and ranks 25th in terms of capital in the market. It has an ecosystem that includes medicine, hotel and automobile businesses. This is a relatively small boutique bank that specializes in complex non-standard transactions with high uncertainty, thereby bypassing competitors who prefer standard work schemes. Students of the First Management will have to learn such a creative approach to banking. As an additional motivation, Expobank will pay a personal scholarship to each student who enters the network program before the first certification. In the future, only the most capable students who complete the first session without debts and Cs will retain the additional reward.

Greeting the assembled students of the State University of Management, Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov recalled yesterday's meeting with first-year students, which caused a great stir, and expressed confidence that the new laboratory will help students in implementing their projects.

"Today, thanks to the active position of our partner, we are opening a beautiful and functional classroom. We hope that this base will help you quickly get involved in the learning process and come to classes with joy, especially since Expobank is ready to help in implementing the educational program of banking business management. The program will help you immerse yourself in the complex world of financial flows, which today is closely connected with the IT sphere, so the classroom is equipped with the latest technology. Thanks to Expobank, we are glad that the first week of the academic year was marked by such a wonderful event," said Dmitry Bryukhanov.

Expobank's Director of Human Resources, Galina Weisband, told the students that this was the bank's first experience of this kind, so it would learn to build the educational process together with them.

"We believe that the main client of the university is not students or their parents, but employers who know better than others what kind of specialists they need. Our educational program, on the one hand, has academic importance, and on the other, it develops you in the banking profession. Classes will be held not only in this auditorium, where our specialists will come, but also in our bank. We are very much looking forward to seeing you in practice, and later as HR specialists, but in no way do we limit your ambitions and aspirations if you choose to work elsewhere. Welcome to our department!" Galina Weisband greeted the students.

Expobank's Director of Human Resources Maxim Dzyuba and Deputy Chairman of the Board Galina Lobova introduced the students to the company's activities.

"We believe that the university auditorium is the place with the greatest potential. That is why we are here and honestly say that we want to hunt you down, but we do not chain you to the radiator – you are free to choose your career path. We have 80 scholarship programs, internships with good salaries for people even with zero experience in the banking sector, young but experienced mentors. We are looking forward to the opportunity to work with you," Maxim Dzyuba addressed the future bankers.

At the end of the ceremony, the students asked questions that interested them, which mainly concerned the non-standard nature of their work, as stated by the guests, and also wrote messages to their future selves on the board.
