An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The first Summer School of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for gifted schoolchildren from the UAE has ended at the Polytechnic University, in which 60 of the best high school students from this country took part. It is important to note that SPbPU won the right to host the school in a tough international competition, beating universities not only in Russia, but also in other countries. Similar programs for young talents from the UAE, commissioned by the Ministry of Education of this country, were previously held in China, South Korea and Singapore. But according to the head of the delegation, Mr. Aldarmaki Faisal Abdullah Yusif Abdullah, it was the St. Petersburg Summer School that was the best both in terms of content and the uniqueness of the location.

The intensive two-week program included a deep dive into the world of advanced technologies and an introduction to the cultural heritage of the Northern capital.

The first week was dedicated to intense study: the children did not just listen to lectures, but actively designed, analyzed, created, demonstrating impressive results in the practical application of the acquired skills. This educational intensive became a powerful tool for their academic development, contributing to the formation of key competencies in the field of artificial intelligence, scientific and technological innovations. The students went through this path, demonstrating exceptional curiosity, diligence and thirst for new knowledge.

Mr. Aldarmaqi Faisal Abdullah Yousif Abdullah noted: Students from the United Arab Emirates spent an intense week at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, where they underwent training that combined theoretical and applied aspects, which gave them the opportunity to gain practical experience. This program allowed them to better understand how innovations are implemented, in particular artificial intelligence, in various fields, and also gave them new competencies in the field of technological leadership and entrepreneurship. I am sure that the knowledge and skills gained are an important step in the professional development of our students. We thank the university administration for this unique opportunity and innovative experience and hope that this cooperation will continue in the coming years.

Summing up the educational part at the closing ceremony of the Summer School, the first deputy chairman of the Education Committee of the St. Petersburg Administration Pavel Rozov noted: I hope you will enjoy the next week, because the studies are over, and you will see even more interesting places in our city. I wish you good luck and hope that the knowledge you have gained here will help you in your further studies and you will succeed in all your endeavors.

The second week, held with the active participation of the project co-organizer, OOO "School of Robotics SPb", became a real immersion into the cultural heritage of St. Petersburg for the participants. The young guests visited the majestic palaces, museums and picturesque canals of the city, which left them with vivid and unforgettable impressions. A key part of the program, also prepared by the partner, were visits to the city's leading technology companies. These excursions allowed the young guests to see with their own eyes how the technologies they studied are applied in practice, how ideas and innovations are transformed into real products and entire industries.

Leading specialist of the regional trade and economic cooperation department of the Committee for External Relations of the St. Petersburg Administration Apollinaria Avrutina emphasized the importance of the partnership: Developing cooperation with the United Arab Emirates is a strategic priority for us, as this country is our important partner. There are many oriental studies centers in St. Petersburg, and specialists in Arabic language and culture work there. You are very important to us. We hope to see you again in St. Petersburg. Congratulations on your successful participation.

Thanks to a rich curriculum and practice-oriented project work, the Summer School participants acquired not only sought-after technical competencies, but also a deep understanding of innovation processes and the spirit of international cooperation.

The guys immersed themselves in technologies, learned to immediately use the theoretical knowledge they had acquired in practice and achieved impressive results. The experience they gained at the Polytechnic University and the friendship that connected all the project participants are their invaluable capital for shaping the future of their country, – emphasized Olga Yemelyanova, Head of the Department of International Educational Programs and Academic Mobility at SPbPU.

NSU and BurService will create a new generation software package for interpreting geoinformation and constructing models in the field of geological exploration and development of hydrocarbon deposits.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Russian oilfield services company BurService has become an investor in a project that is important for the oil and gas industry, within the framework of which NSU and the company signed an agreement on the joint creation and commercialization of a new generation software package for interpreting seismic and other geological and geophysical information in order to build digital models of fields. A pilot version of the new software, ready for introduction to the market, will appear by the end of 2025.

Currently, the software for building geological and geophysical models of hydrocarbon deposits is dominated by software products from Western companies that have left the Russian market and stopped supporting their software. Many of these products have become industry standards over the past 30 years and have formed the basis for corporate solutions for all leading Russian oil companies.

— BurService and NSU are jointly solving the problem of creating a new generation software package that will ensure a seamless transition of Russian oil and gas industry enterprises from Western software to a domestic product. Our company has accumulated extensive experience working with software that occupies leading positions in the industry both at the international and Russian levels. NSU is one of the leading universities in our country, which has a rich scientific heritage of the founders of geophysical science and practice in our country, as well as modern scientific achievements, technological developments and highly qualified personnel in the field of applied mathematics, geophysics, programming, — noted the project manager from BurService Stanislav Kopunov.

The software package being developed will not only be comparable with Western analogues considered the industry standard, but will also surpass them in a number of parameters. In particular, the best practices from the experience of Russian and foreign companies are being implemented, including those based on machine learning. The product will be created based on the architecture designed by developers from Novosibirsk State University. The package will be based on the open database management system PostgreSQL and will provide multi-user distributed access, and the modern technological stack guarantees cross-platform and compatibility with various operating systems, including domestic ones.

— This is a rare case in the practice of Russian universities, when a university and private business agree on the joint development of a large software package and its promotion in the industry. This is an example of how a scientific development in the field of geological and geophysical modeling of hydrocarbon deposits, after appropriate revision and adaptation, finds further development and is introduced into the real sector of the economy, — commented Sergey Golovin, Director of the Advanced Engineering School of NSU.

The cooperation between NSU and BurService involves joint work not only on the creation of a software package, but also on its further modernization, improvement and support.

OOO BurServis is an independent Russian company, one of the largest players in the oilfield services market with its own equipment fleet, production bases and a team of over 4,000 people. Range of services: drilling and formation parameter assessment, general contracting (turnkey drilling), completion and production, project management, consulting, IT solutions, pipeline services, controlled pressure drilling.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The SberLab-NSU Summer School is held for the fifth year in a row and lasts for five weeks. The school is aimed at students of IT departments of Novosibirsk State University. During this time, participants solve real problems and projects related to modern technologies and industry trends, from web development and digital design to machine learning.

This year, 23 teams took part in the Summer School, presenting their projects in various areas. Both classic web development and front-end solutions in the field of digital design and programs that translate text written in a programming language into machine codes (Editor's note: compilers) were demonstrated.

Some of the Summer School projects have been in development for a long time, for example, a project dedicated to the identification of Amur tigers (Ed. note). Tigers. IO— a service that provides tools for convenient cataloging of animals and graphic interaction with their images), has been in development for two years. The Aqua Trainer software, presented at the SberLab-NSU conference last year, was improved as part of this year's school. They decided to add a system to the application for sports trainers that could track spinal defects (if any) from images and send the results to doctors.

— By the end of the training, students gain invaluable experience and significantly improve their skills. Over the course of a month, they have the opportunity to try out various modern technologies depending on the project. The Summer School works according to the same principles as work in large technology companies: daily planning meetings, the need to be at work for eight hours a day, planning sprints, in general, a lot of things. Naturally, based on the results of the school, we select students for practical training for the new academic year. Students can write their diplomas on the topics of the projects they are developing and receive a stipend for working in the laboratory, — says Artem Tregubov, Director of the Summer School, Industrial Associate Professor at NSU.

Every year, the school's pool of partners expands. As the head of the regional office of SberTech in Novosibirsk Denis Kolodny notes, this year SberTech and SberZdorovye joined the project.

All participants of the event received certificates.

Day of Military Glory: The End of the Battle of Leningrad – a Triumph of Fortitude

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Today, August 9, we are celebrating the Day of the End of the Battle of Leningrad for the first time at the federal level, paying tribute to the memory of all who survived this unprecedented test and, at the cost of incredible sacrifices, brought victory over fascism closer.

Assignment of the status of Day of Military Glory

Previously, celebrations were held only at the local and regional level, but the historical significance of this event, the scale of the tragedy and the greatness of the Leningraders' feat required recognition at the highest state level. And so, on April 1, 2025, the President signed a Federal Law establishing August 9 as the Day of Military Glory of Russia.

The Battle of Leningrad lasted 1,127 days and became the longest in the Great Patriotic War.

This is not just a battle, it is an entire era in the history of the Great Patriotic War, an era of courage, endurance and inhuman fortitude.

The beginning of the Battle of Leningrad and the blockade of the city

The battle for Leningrad began on July 10, 1941, with the start of the fighting on the Luga line. And from the beginning of the blockade on September 8, 1941, the city turned into a huge island of resistance, dying of hunger and cold. Incessant bombing, artillery shelling, the constant threat of capture – this was the reality of life for millions of people who found themselves surrounded by the enemy.

But Leningrad survived. It survived thanks to the unparalleled heroism of the Red Army soldiers, workers, engineers, doctors, teachers, and ordinary residents, all those who were a single whole during this terrible time. Children, women, old people – everyone took part in the common cause of saving the city. They worked at defense plants, dug trenches, got water and fuel, carried ammunition, participated in extinguishing fires. They fought for their home, for their land, for their Motherland.

The memory of that time is preserved in bloody numbers: millions of people died from hunger, cold and enemy shells.

Lifting the siege of Leningrad

The siege of Leningrad was broken on January 18, 1943, during Operation Iskra. A window was formed in the siege ring, which allowed land communications with the besieged city to be restored.

Leningrad was finally liberated from the blockade on January 27, 1944, but military actions around the city and in the northern direction continued for another six months. As a result, the threat on the distant northern borders was eliminated and the present-day Leningrad, Pskov, Novgorod regions and Karelia were liberated.

The official end of the Battle of Leningrad

On August 9, 1944, the commander of the Karelian Front, Kirill Meretskov, signed an order to end the offensive in the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk operation, which became the final victorious chord of the Battle of Leningrad.

The feat of the soldiers was recognized at the highest level: the Victory Parade in Moscow on June 24, 1945 was opened by a combined regiment of the Karelian Front, and the hero of the Battle of Leningrad, Marshal of the Soviet Union Kirill Meretskov, marched in front.

We remember. We honor. We are proud.

Today we must remember not only the heroism of the soldiers and city residents, but also the countless losses, suffering and deprivation that befell the Leningraders. This memory is our national shrine, our joint responsibility to future generations.

The end of the Battle of Leningrad is not just a date on the calendar. It is a symbol of hope and the unbroken spirit of the Soviet people. This is the day when we honor the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of our country, and we especially keenly understand the price of peace and the importance of preserving historical memory.

Let us celebrate this Day of Military Glory with respect and gratitude, honoring the memory of those who saved Leningrad and brought the great Victory closer.

We remember. We honor. We are proud.

NSU team wins gold medal at international synthetic biology competition SynBio Challenge in China

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On August 6, the final of the international competition SynBio Challenge was held in Shenzhen (Guangdong Province, China). The team Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS) of NSU GeneMeow won a gold medal in the Synthetic Cell category. The team solved the problem of developing a DNA sequence no longer than 140 bp, which ensures high expression of the green fluorescent protein. Two more teams from Russia, representing Moscow State University and Pirogov University, became winners in the Protein Design track.

The GeneMeow team included six students of the NSU Natural Sciences Department who completed their 3rd year in the Biology program: Valeria Romanova, Ekaterina Bolotova, Nail Bikeev, Nikita Ivanov, Ulyana Borovikova and Dmitry Kurbatsky. GeneMeow was formed from two strong teams that had previously participated in the Biotournament and achieved high results.

Nail Bikeev, a member of the NSU GeneMeow team, spoke about preparation and participation in the competition:

— We learned about the competition in May and spent a long time choosing the track we wanted to participate in. The Synthetic cell track seemed to us to be a more interesting and challenging task. We needed to create a DNA sequence that could increase the yield of the target protein, in our case, Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which glows a beautiful green color. In a short time, we had to develop a concept for the sequence, review many articles on the topic, highlight the necessary ones, and check the functionality of the design using bioinformatics methods. The trip to China and the presentation of the work at the international level was the best motivation, since we managed to assemble our sequence and send it! At the Olympiad, we met many guys from other countries: Japan, Thailand, and, of course, China, and also met colleagues from Moscow State University and the Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University. Such events are very inspiring, showing how many like-minded people there are all over the world.

The final was held in the format of a festival, where each team presented their solutions to the problems at the selection stage. In addition, the organizers of the competition synthesized the DNA sequences proposed by the participants, inserted them into plasmids with a gene of a fluorescent protein, which is used to check the DNA sequence, and during the festival visualized the synthesized sequences, compared which team's glowed brighter. The brightness of the glow became one of the criteria for assessing the work of each team.

Sergey Sedykh, PhD, Senior Lecturer Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies NSU, a judge for the SynBio Challenge, commented:

— It was the first time I was a judge at such an international event. The Russian teams showed themselves very well. Our guys from NSU demonstrated that the field of synthetic biology and life sciences in general is actively developing at Novosibirsk University, both at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and at the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies, where a new Master's program "Industrial Pharmacy". I have no doubt that next year the team from Novosibirsk will include students of this new program. Our guys have confirmed by their own example that the NSU motto "We will not make you smarter, we will teach you to think" works at the international level as well.

The competition is organized by Shenzhen University of High Technology. A total of 1,800 students registered to participate in the competition this year, of which about 1,000 participants from six countries — China, Russia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia — reached the finals.

The participation of the NSU team in the international competition was financed within the framework of the academic mobility project of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU Priority 2030 programs.
