The Polytechnic University solemnly awarded the winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian student case championship "Risk Management: New Horizons for Solutions". The organizers are the Higher School of Industrial Management of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade and the consulting company "Trust Technologies".

Joint-Stock Company "Trust Technologies" provides audit and consulting services to corporate clients in various sectors of the economy. According to the RAEX rating agency, in 2025 the company entered the top five largest Russian participants in the audit and consulting services market.

The case championship was attended by 56 students from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Voronezh and Tambov. As part of 15 teams, the students solved cases dedicated to risk management issues related to an unstable external environment, technological risks, digitalization and sustainable development. The participants presented projects combining digital technologies, risk management methods and models, as well as forecasting tools in an uncertain environment.

"The ability to manage risks in modern conditions is a critically important competency for any business. The level of the presented student projects, their depth of development and practical orientation are pleasing. Cooperation with the company "Trust Technologies", a strong partner occupying a leading position in the audit and consulting services market, is very important for us. This creates a unique environment for cultivating young and in-demand specialists in the labor market, ready to get involved in solving real business problems of Russian companies," said Olga Kalinina, Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management, at the opening of the final.

The teams defended their solutions before an expert jury, which included representatives of the Trust Technologies company: Svetlana Kuzmenkova, Senior Manager of the Non-Financial Risk Group, Viktor Kosmachev, Senior Consultant of the Systemic Changes and Business Development Practice, Evgeniya Filyanina, Consultant of the Non-Financial Risk Group, as well as Associate Professors of the Higher School of Industrial Management of the IPMEiT Anna Timofeeva, Evgeny Makarenko and Elena Kiseleva.

The best project solution was presented by the AllRisks team, which became the absolute winner of the championship. The team included Artem Rudenko (SPbGEU), Mikhail Borovkov (ITMO), Elizaveta Egorova and Polina Ivanova (SPbPU).

The first place winner was the PonITech SPbPU team: Diana Yakimenko, Maria Belova, Maria Platonova and Vitaly Trofimov.

The second place was taken by the Ratio team from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba: Daria Dreval, Larisa Ordina, Elizaveta Kostyaeva and Veronika Vatrukhina.

The third place went to the “Risk Hunters” – Valentina Fedorova, Anastasia Rusakova, Arina Katrina, Egor Bogdanov and Liana Pogosyan from SPbSUT.

"We set a difficult task for the participants: to develop risk management solutions that not only take into account modern challenges, but also integrate digital tools for forecasting and management in conditions of uncertainty. As a result of the defenses, we saw non-standard approaches, a strong analytical background and a willingness to offer specific mechanisms that can be applied in practice. We are confident that for many students this championship will become a springboard to a successful career in business," commented Evgeniya Filyanina, consultant of the non-financial risks group.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

The admissions campaign at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is in full swing, and its first stage is coming to an end. On July 25 at 12:00 Moscow time, the deadline for accepting documents for the bachelor's and specialist's programs of full-time budgetary education ends. Applicants have only one day left to submit an application and finally decide on their future profession.

Currently, more than 139,000 applications have been submitted for bachelor's and specialist's degree programs, which confirms the high interest of applicants in the Polytechnic University. In terms of the number of applications, the leading positions are still occupied by the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity, the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport.

Although you can submit documents to SPbPU online from anywhere in the country, the Admissions Committee is always happy to meet with applicants in person. This year, a modern multifunctional space has been organized in the Reading Room of the Main Academic Building, where you can submit documents with the help of the Admissions Committee staff, sign a training agreement and, of course, submit consent for enrollment (in 2025, it replaces the need to provide an original education document). Next to the Reading Room, there are institute stands where university representatives provide detailed information about training programs, internship opportunities and employment prospects. During the admissions campaign, meetings and tours of laboratories were also held for applicants and their parents, allowing them to get acquainted with the university infrastructure.

This year, in order to be enrolled in a university, it is necessary to provide consent for enrollment instead of the original educational document. At the moment, more than 1,500 applicants have already submitted consent for enrollment.

The main innovation of this year was the "Petrovskaya Wave" program, which guarantees admission to applicants with high scores. If the applicant's score exceeds the established threshold, the university will enroll him or her even in a fee-paying place – at its own expense. In 2025, the wave will apply to some areas of the Institute of Energy, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport, and the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications.

Also in 2025, a new grant system for talented applicants was introduced. Winners and prize winners of Olympiads, as well as students entering with high Unified State Exam scores, can receive a grant of up to 120,000 rubles, as well as an additional payment of 50,000 rubles subject to excellent academic performance. In 2025, more than 500 winners and prize winners of Olympiads applied to the Polytechnic University, of which 150 have already agreed to enroll in the university.

After the document submission process is complete, the enrollment stage will begin. On July 27, the competitive lists will be published, according to which applicants will be able to assess their situation and opportunities for admission. In order to be enrolled in the Polytechnic University, applicants must provide consent for enrollment (on the State Services portal, in person at the admissions office or by mail) within the established deadlines:

until August 1, 12:00 Moscow time — for applicants on quotas and without entrance examinations until August 5, 12:00 Moscow time — for applicants to the main competitive places

On July 2, priority enrollment will take place for preferential categories and winners and prize winners of Olympiads, and on August 7, the main stage of enrollment for full-time budgetary education will take place.

Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University is waiting for its future main heroes and is preparing for a new academic year full of discoveries, scientific achievements and exciting events!
