In 2025, the number of Polytechnic students and postgraduates who won the grant competition of the Committee for Science and Higher Education of St. Petersburg almost doubled. Last year there were 73 of them, this year – 125.

Students will receive city government awards of 50,000 rubles, postgraduates – 100,000 rubles. The research topics cover five areas – these are projects in the field of humanities and technical sciences, medicine, natural and exact disciplines, as well as works related to culture and art.

One of the winners of the 2025 grant competition is the leading engineer of the educational research laboratory "Computational Mechanics" of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering", a postgraduate student of the Physics and Mechanical Institute of SPbPU Mikhail Khovaiko, who presented an innovative project to create lightweight and reliable mesh structures from polymer composites for the space and aviation industries.

"The project is based on research conducted at the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering", as well as on the results of a series of scientific and experimental design work in the field of digital modeling and testing of composite materials," notes the author of the development. – We have not only proven the technical feasibility of using new technologies in the production of mesh structures for rocket and space technology, but also demonstrated their practical value. The implementation of such solutions will expand the use of polymer composites in high-tech mechanical engineering. Winning the competition confirms the relevance, novelty and significance of the problems solved within the framework of my dissertation research, and opens up new opportunities for its implementation: financial support will help accelerate the implementation of the development in industry, and recognition at the city level will increase interest from aerospace enterprises."

Postgraduate student Maxim Larin works as an engineer at the research laboratory "Laser and Additive Technologies" of IMMiT. He submitted a project for the competition "Development of laser cladding technology for restoration and extension of the service life of worn surfaces of large-sized equipment."

"Receiving the grant is an important step in developing my research in the field of repair laser cladding," Maxim shared. "The project is aimed at creating an effective technology for restoring and extending the service life of worn surfaces of large-sized equipment using the mobile laser cladding complex "Nomad", in the development of which I took direct part. This approach allows for restoration directly at the site of equipment operation, reducing downtime and increasing the efficiency of repair work."

A graduate student of the Institute of Power Engineering, Evgeny Chesnokov, won the competition with his project “Development of a methodology for determining the long-term permissible current load and emergency permissible current load on cable lines with temperature monitoring.”

"The project is dedicated to calculating long-term permissible current loads for medium and high voltage cable lines," said Evgeny. "The calculation methodology provided in the project helps optimize the operation of the cable network and effectively transmit electricity to the end user. In addition to the long-term permissible current load, the methodology allows calculating the emergency permissible current load, which makes it possible to effectively redistribute the load without harming the cable insulation. Based on the results of the project, two organizational standards were developed for PJSC Rosseti Lenenergo."

Andrey Shirokih, a graduate of the Institute of Power Engineering and an engineer at the Higher School of Power Engineering, presented a project for the competition entitled “Development of scientific and technical foundations for creating a digital twin of an aircraft engine and its control system.”

"I am glad that the project was noted, victories in such competitions motivate us to work and develop further," says Andrey. "In my opinion, digital twins are the basis for the future of aviation, a topic that needs to be developed as much as possible. I must say that the project I am working on would not have happened without the support of the Polytechnic University and the contribution of my colleagues. In many ways, the work is aimed at forming the material and technical base of the twin technology – these are experimental stands. Tests on such stands will allow us to work out the methods for creating digital twins, verify and validate the mathematical models embedded in them. Science cannot exist without an experiment, so I am doing experiments in a team of like-minded people. I hope that the results of my work will become one of the building blocks of a reliable foundation for domestic aircraft engine manufacturing."

By the way, read a long interview with Andrey Shirokih in the next issues of the project "Persona".

Margarita Yanchevskaya moved to the 2nd year of the IPMEiT master's program this year. She submitted her work "A multifactorial study of the transformation of applicants' perception of higher education institutions taking into account rating indicators" to the competition.

“The idea for the project arose from my observation of how complicated and multifaceted the process of choosing a university has become for modern applicants,” said Margarita. “They take into account many factors — from the availability of the required specialty and employment prospects to the opinion of parents and the atmosphere at the university. In recent years, the influence of subjective assessments on the perception of the quality of education has especially increased. I was interested in how these subjective factors interact with other criteria, whether ratings affect applicants’ priorities, and how applicants integrate this information into their selection system. The study showed that choosing a university for modern applicants is a multifactorial process. They evaluate universities based not only on academic indicators, but also on social factors. For successful positioning of a university, it is important to find a balance between these two aspects. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of each university and the characteristics of applicants in different fields of study. These findings will enable us to develop more effective and targeted information strategies that take into account the wide range of factors that influence important life choices for each applicant.”

Graduate of the ISI Master's program "Digital Construction of Buildings and Structures" Prokhor Yakovlev In the project "Parametric modeling of design solutions for a hyperboloid structure", he developed a method for optimizing steel rod structures based on the criterion of minimizing metal consumption. A distinctive feature of the method is the automatic collection of climatic loads, as well as the use of an evolutionary algorithm to find an effective design solution. In his work, Prokhor implemented the method on a steel hyperboloid frame of a lighthouse structure. As a result of the study, optimal parameters of a hyperboloid structure based on the criterion of minimizing metal consumption were determined, with a reduction in the total mass by 4.5 times from the original version. Verification of the calculations was carried out by setting up the export of the calculation scheme in the LIRA-SAPR PC. An approach to detailing the design model using the automatic formation of typical nodes is also proposed, which significantly reduces costs. As Prokhor notes, the developed algorithms are universal and can be projected onto similar rod spatial structures.

Some of the guys have won KNVSh grants before. For example, Igor Repin, a postgraduate student at IE, who presented the project “Improving the energy efficiency of thermal power plants in St. Petersburg using energy-saving technologies.”

"I participated in the St. Petersburg grant competition for the second time, and won for the second time," Igor said. "Both works were related to the topic of the future dissertation and were based on the master's thesis. In the projects, I proposed modern methods for increasing the efficiency of power plants using heat pumps. The first victory gave me confidence, so I decided to participate this year. Over the year, I have added achievements and experience, there was no doubt that I would win this time! I am very happy about this, my birthday is coming up – I gave myself a great gift!"

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The first stage of training in the T1 IT camp started on July 8. As it was found out by the T1 IT holding, 25% of students of Novosibirsk technical universities associate their career future with system analytics. Statistics based on the assessment of the popularity of the IT holding's educational programs, the professional priorities of future IT specialists in Novosibirsk reflect the general trend in the country – system analytics is the leader in many regions, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Izhevsk. The second and third places in popularity were taken by backend and frontend development – these tracks were chosen by 23% and 17% of future IT specialists, respectively. Also in demand among young people are the specialties of tester and application administrator.

The bootcamp participants included 144 students from Novosibirsk. The largest number of students came from Novosibirsk State University — 42 students were enrolled in the IT camp. This is due to the fact that NSU is focused on practice-oriented learning. For several years now, IT holding T1 has been a strategic partner of the university — the company's employees participate in the development of training courses and give lectures, conduct career guidance events and train teachers to work with new digital tools. Over the past six months, more than 3,000 NSU students have attended events organized in partnership with T1.

Future IT specialists in the IT camp will be able to gain "combat experience" by solving real business problems. Experience is one of the most important criteria for employers when hiring. In 2025, the holding's initiative collected a record number of applications – more than 7,000, which is 2.5 times more than last year. Almost 3,000 candidates passed the entrance test, and 1,535 people were accepted to the educational intensive.

The IT camp is taught in a hybrid format. At the first stage, participants undergo online training, including lectures from T1 experts, master classes on developing technical and soft skills, and analysis of practical tasks. The second stage is project work: participants will unite in teams to develop real solutions under the guidance of experienced mentors. The IT camp will end with an in-person final. It will take place on August 28 in three cities – Novosibirsk, Moscow, and Yekaterinburg. All students will receive certificates of participation, and the most successful will be invited to an internship at the company. Last year, 80% of the camp participants became T1 interns.

— To quickly start a career, graduates of even top IT universities often lack practical skills and a general understanding of the trajectory of professional movement. To help young specialists overcome this barrier, we create an environment that brings together young people and expert practitioners who are implementing ambitious digital transformation projects today. This transfer of living knowledge is the basis of the T1 IT camp and our other educational projects, — commented Dmitry Kharitonov, First Deputy General Director of T1 IT holding.

Reference:

Novosibirsk State University (NSU) together with IT holding T1 is implementing Bachelor's degree program "Applied Artificial Intelligence". This year, 150 students will be accepted. Graduates of the program will master one of the most popular areas in the modern labor market. According to experts, 70% of Russian companies are already using AI in their work, and the demand for professionals with skills in working with AI and machine learning technologies has tripled in recent years. Submission of documents for the new bachelor's program at NSU ends on August 25.

The Rector of the State University of Management took part in the third meeting of the Rectors' Club, which was held in the Arguments and Facts press center.

Meetings of heads of higher education institutions and colleges allow for the coordination of training of specialists, avoiding duplication of educational programs, understanding what technologies and equipment are needed to teach students, and discussing how the labor market is changing.

The meeting included two sessions: the first was devoted to the future of higher and secondary vocational education and key changes in the system of training specialists, and the second focused on interaction with the business community.

During the first part of the meeting, representatives of government bodies and heads of higher and secondary educational institutions, including Vladimir Stroyev, spoke.

First Deputy Minister of Education of Russia Alexander Bugaev presented the key aspects of the education development strategy, which is based on traditional approaches and includes two stages: preparatory (2025-2026) and the subsequent implementation stage.

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova noted that this year the implementation of all key areas in the educational system, started earlier, will continue, with special attention being paid to helping student families. She emphasized that it is necessary to "prepare graduate professionals with an active civic position, aware of their role in the development of the country's technological sovereignty.

The head of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev spoke about the Pre-University of the State University of Management, where schoolchildren of the 10th and 11th grades study. The rector noted that despite the high requirements (only excellent students), the number of people wishing to enroll there increases every year. Vladimir Stroyev also introduced the audience to the areas of student training implemented at the State University of Management.

"The university is actively developing new areas of training, especially in the field of management. This year, interest in management programs in various industries has noticeably increased: from construction to show business. An important aspect of the university's development has become the creation of high-quality media content. We have three professional studios for producing video materials. This is especially relevant, given that today's youth is a demanding audience, well versed in the media space," he added.

Also at the meeting, representatives of the government, universities and the expert community discussed the readiness of the secondary vocational education and higher education sector for the new academic year, the progress and tasks of transforming universities, state youth policy and the development of vocational education infrastructure.

At the end of the meeting, those gathered agreed that for the successful development of the education system, it is important for all its elements to cooperate and coordinate their actions to ensure a comfortable transition for students between different levels of education and achieve a synergistic effect.

As part of the grant competition for the implementation of research work by scientific and pedagogical staff of SPbGASU, laboratory tests of full-scale reinforced concrete beams reinforced with an external reinforcement system made of composite materials have been completed in the interdepartmental laboratory of our university.

Reinforcement with external reinforcement made of composite materials allows to increase the load-bearing capacity, reduce deflections and crack width without increasing the mass of the reinforced structure.

The tests were carried out by senior lecturer of the Department of Reinforced Concrete and Stone Structures Anastasia Denisova and senior laboratory assistant of the interdepartmental laboratory Egor Kuzhman under the scientific supervision of associate professor of the Department of Reinforced Concrete and Stone Structures Alexey Shekhovtsov.

The purpose of the tests was to evaluate the work of reinforced structures at different stages taking into account the loading history. Three precast reinforced concrete beams of rectangular cross-section with dimensions of 300×400 mm, length of 3300 mm, weight of 1 t were tested.

First, beams were tested without reinforcement to simulate the operation of the structure during the operational phase. The sample was not brought to failure at this stage. Then, the beams were reinforced with external reinforcement and the reinforced beams were tested again until complete failure, simulating the operation of the structure after reinforcement during the operational phase.

During the tests, the researchers monitored the vertical displacement of the sample, the relative deformations of the concrete and composite material, the width of the crack opening, the loads of crack formation, destruction, the pattern of crack formation, the nature of destruction, etc.

The research is an important stage in assessing the effectiveness of modern methods of strengthening reinforced concrete structures and in developing methods for their design, and also allows obtaining data for the further implementation of these technologies in construction practice.

When the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute opened, he was invited to the position of professor of the theoretical mechanics department and played a decisive role in the development of this discipline. It was Ivan Meshchersky’s lecture on theoretical mechanics for students of all technical departments that became the first lecture given at the newly opened Polytechnic Institute. Meshchersky was one of those scientists who sought to bring the teaching of mechanics closer to the needs of engineering practice; he created the classic “Collection of Problems in Theoretical Mechanics” and introduced practical classes for students to solve problems. In 1907–1908, he served as director of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute.

Students of the Master's program in the field of "Applied Mathematics and Physics" will be awarded a scholarship named after Lev Gerasimovich Loitsyansky.

L. G. Loitsyansky (1900–1991) was a Soviet scientist and mechanic, the founder and first head of the Department of Hydroaerodynamics at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (1935–1975), and a leading specialist in boundary layer and turbulence theory. He began his teaching career in 1922 as an assistant to Professor A. A. Friedman at the Department of Theoretical Mechanics. L. G. Loitsyansky is the author of fundamental monographs and textbooks on hydrogasdynamics and theoretical mechanics. L. G. Loitsyansky’s textbook “Mechanics of Liquids and Gases” is still a reference book for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as specialists in hydroaerodynamics. The scientific school of physical mechanics of liquids and gases created by Lev Gerasimovich is one of the leading schools in the country and is supported and developed at SPbPU by his students and the students of his students.

Master's students in the Applied Mechanics program will be awarded a scholarship named after Anatoly Isakovich Lurye.
