The final round of the All-Russian Student Olympiad in Road Transport Specialties took place in Rostov-on-Don at the Don State Technical University. Students from the Higher School of Transport of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University participated. The event brought together the best graduates from the country's leading transport universities.

The jury also included HSE Associate Professor Alexander Kashtalinsky. He presented four final theses by HSE students who demonstrated outstanding results.

The winners and prize-winners were students and graduates of the Higher School of Transport of the Institute of Metallurgical and Nuclear Engineering.

Maria Abdulazyanova (1st year Master's degree student) — 1st place in the nomination "Research Diploma Theses" (supervisor — Associate Professor of the HSE Alexander Kashtalinsky) Kirill Kamaev (1st year Master's degree student) — 1st place in the nomination "Automated Traffic Management Systems" (supervisor — Associate Professor of the HSE Alexander Kashtalinsky) Ekaterina Kozlova (graduate of 2025) — 1st place in the nomination "Organization and Ensuring the Safety of Non-Motorized Road Users" (supervisor — Associate Professor of the HSE Alexander Kashtalinsky) Victoria Afonina (1st year Master's degree student) — 2nd place in the nomination "Traffic Organization with Reconstruction of the Street and Road Network" (supervisor — Professor of the HSE Andrey Gorev)

Alexander Kashtalinsky commented on the Polytechnic students' success: "We are proud to see that our students' final projects demonstrated a high level, confidently competing with projects from graduates of such flagship transport universities as MADI, SibADI, and DSTU. This demonstrates that the quality of training at the IMMiT Higher School of Transport meets the modern requirements of the transport industry."

At the same time, Alexander Sergeevich noted a serious problem: "Unfortunately, we are seeing a steady decline in the number of graduate theses on traffic management nationwide. This is directly related to the merger and closure of specialized departments. Given the acute shortage of qualified design engineers, this situation poses a significant threat to the development of Russia's transport infrastructure."

Leading researchers from the State University of Management, the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, the Moscow Aviation Institute, and other educational institutions presented their papers at the plenary session. Discussions focused on the historical experience of transformation, the development of aircraft manufacturing in the 21st century, the formation of student worldviews, human capital in historical regions, the political and administrative integration of new constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the digital transformation of the social sphere, and the state of the agricultural sector in the context of a special military operation.

The youth section attracted particular attention, where undergraduate and graduate students from the Department of State and Municipal Management presented research on patriotic education, civic identity, the adaptation of migrant children, territorial branding, and the dynamics of youth sentiment. Their presentations demonstrated a high level of scientific preparation and the relevance of their chosen topics.

Following the presentations, a lively discussion ensued, with participants exchanging views on prospects for further research and practical steps to strengthen the socioeconomic and cultural unity of Russia's regions.

The GUU Organizing Committee thanks everyone who responded to the invitation and invites them to collaborate on future scientific and educational initiatives.

The International Forum and Exhibition "Russian Industrialist" concluded on October 31. For Polytechnic University, this day was no less eventful than the previous ones.

Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov visited the Polytechnic University booth. SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy gave him a tour. He described in detail the specific technological solutions and museum exhibits on display. The rector emphasized the significance of all the developments and their advantages over similar technologies. He also noted the partnerships and collaboration with leading Russian companies, such as the state corporation Rosatom and Gazprom.

Andrey Rudskoy also held talks with Purnima Anand, President of the Indian non-governmental organization "BRICS International Forum." They discussed opportunities for cooperation with India in training engineers for the civil nuclear industry, the creation of joint educational programs, and attracting Indian students to the Polytechnic University's winter and summer schools.

"We're always happy to build new partnerships internationally. More than 5,000 international students are already studying at the Polytechnic University. Currently, we have very few students from India, but we believe their number needs to increase," emphasized Andrey Rudskoy.

SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy met with Alexander Blokhin, the lead developer at Zvezda. The Rector discussed the university's developments and how it builds collaboration with industrial partners. Alexander Blokhin, in turn, introduced the company's products. The partners ultimately identified areas in which Polytechnic University and Zvezda could further collaborate.

All guests who visited the Polytechnic University stand during the forum highly praised the university's educational and scientific activities, and also noted the quality, relevance, and advantages of the technological solutions presented.

The focus was on developments from the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory, the Lightweight Materials and Structures Laboratory, and the Engineering Center for Design, Certification, and Testing of Advanced Energy Sources. IMMiT's exhibit at the forum reflected the institute's systematic approach to developing technological areas—from materials science and welding processes to next-generation energy systems—reaffirming the Polytechnic University's key role in shaping Russia's industrial potential.
