BEIJING, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) — The Science and Technology Society of China (STSC) will launch a campaign to promote international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation in October 2025, it said at a press conference in Beijing on Sunday.

A total of approximately 60 events are planned in 15 provincial-level regions across the country, including the centrally-controlled cities of Beijing and Shanghai, and Zhejiang Province, as well as in five overseas countries, including France and Brazil.

The campaign will be organized by the NTOC in collaboration with international scientific and technical organizations, local governments, and scientific and technical associations. Its goal is to create a fair and inclusive international platform to further strengthen openness, trust, and cooperation in the global scientific and technical community.

In particular, more than 20 professional scientific events, including the 2025 International Conference on Physiology and the 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Physics, will focus on the development needs of advanced science and technology and emerging industries of strategic importance.

Meanwhile, more than 10 multilateral or bilateral scientific, technical and cultural exchange activities, including a Chinese-Russian translation competition, will deepen exchanges between Chinese and foreign scientific and technical workers. -0-

In September, in a vacant lot in Aksu, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the intelligent drilling rig "Jinpeng," independently developed by Zhongman Oil and Gas Corporation, is operating normally. There is no noise from traditional drilling, only the gentle hum of the robotic arms.

"Autonomous machine coordination and remote personnel control"—this intelligent drilling scenario not only changed the traditional perception of oil drilling as "hard, dirty, tedious, and dangerous" work, but also marked the transition of the oil and gas industry in Aksu to a new stage of "intellectualization."

Zhongman (Aksu) Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Development Company is a private enterprise established in Wensu County, Aksu City, in 2018. It began construction and produced its first oil in the same year, and has now become an important pillar of the local economy.

The viability of the private economy in Xinjiang is reflected not only in industries such as oil and gas production, but also in the daily lives of ordinary people.

Kashgar is renowned as the "land of fruits." In 2024, Xinjiang Jasarat International Trading Company collaborated with faculty from Xinjiang University to launch the first NFC juice (directly pressed fresh fruit juice), developed and produced in Kashgar. According to CEO Abdukyum Maimaiti, products such as pomegranate juice are already being exported to neighboring countries.

More and more private enterprises are taking root in Xinjiang, creating a vibrant picture of thriving local industry.

A delegation from the National University of Management took part in a gala evening dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and China.

The ceremony was attended by Ivan Melnikov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma and Chairman of the Russian-Chinese Friendship Society; Zhang Hanhui, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Russian Federation; State Duma deputies; representatives of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; descendants of Soviet pilots who participated in the liberation of China from Japanese invaders; and representatives of the scientific and expert community.

SUM was represented by 87 people, including first- and second-year undergraduate students, second-year master's students, and faculty from SUM's Russian-Chinese program. Fifteen students from the first management department volunteered for the event at the request of the organizers, greeting guests at the entrance to the Column Hall of the House of Unions on Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street.

The gala event opened with the performance of the national anthems of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. Ivan Melnikov addressed the guests with a welcoming address, reminding them that the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation declared 2025 the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland in Russia and the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945:

"Eight decades later, the pain hasn't subsided. At the same time, the pride in our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers for the national courage they demonstrated remains undiminished. We remember! And we remember not only May, but also September, a crucial month for the victors. Eighty years ago, the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and World War II ended. For Russia and China, this is a sacred milestone!"

This was followed by a concert featuring the Russian-Chinese Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Chinese Student Choir of Russia, the Kastalia Concert Choir of the Vorobyovy Gory State Educational Institution, and the Greenwood Children's Choir, where the most famous works about the war by Russian and Chinese poets and composers were performed.

The event was organized by the Russian-Chinese Friendship Society, the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, and the China Conservatory of Music (Beijing).

The Avangard Technological Lyceum in Omsk hosted the "Engineering Education Day" festival, bringing together leading national and regional universities, industrial enterprises, and organizations developing engineering and digital technologies. Among the participants was Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Vladimir Voronov, an engineer at the Industrial Stream Data Processing Systems Laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" at SPbPU, represented the Polytechnic University.

Guests at the event at the Avangard Technology Lyceum saw how MKAR is helping develop competencies in the field of unmanned systems.

The PSPOD laboratory showcased its development—the compact, wheeled, autonomous robot MKAR 3.1. The exhibit generated great interest among schoolchildren, teachers, and parents. Festival guests learned about the robot's capabilities and how it can be used to develop engineering and digital competencies in schoolchildren and students.

MKAR 3.1 is a new version of the educational and methodological toolkit for teaching robotics, unmanned systems, and programming. The robot is built on the ROS2 operating system and features omnidirectional wheels, modern sensors, and a modular design that allows for customization of its functionality to meet specific learning objectives. It also comes with a virtual simulator, enabling training even without access to a physical model.

Omsk boasts a modern educational center, the Avangard Lyceum, which educates talented and motivated students with a genuine interest in new engineering solutions and unmanned technologies. At the event, we saw keen interest from both students and their parents. Many carefully studied the design and functionality of the MKAR. Events like these are undoubtedly important for promoting engineering education and fostering a deeper understanding of modern unmanned systems among a wider audience, noted Vladimir Voronov.

The MKAR exhibit was part of the festival's extensive educational program, which included lectures and master classes from leading engineers, researchers, and industry representatives. The event was also attended by representatives of Omsk State Technical University, Omsk State Agrarian University, the Quantorium children's technology park, the Omsk Oil Refinery, and other industry representatives.

The Engineering Education Day festival is an excellent platform for showcasing cutting-edge engineering practices and strengthening ties between educational institutions, the scientific community, and industry. The participation of SPbPU and its laboratories in such events contributes to the strategic goal of building a continuous system of engineering education, from school to successful careers in industry.
