On September 17, a meeting was held at the State University of Management between Rector Vladimir Stroev and Rector of the Rosstandart Academy Alexander Zazhigalkin.

The leaders discussed the strengths of their educational institutions and possible areas for future cooperation.

Vladimir Stroyev spoke about the history of the State University of Management, noting its commitment to educational traditions combined with a modern approach.

"The topic of standardization is close to the heart of SUM, as for many years during the Soviet era, our university was involved in everything related to the planned economy. At one time, it was here that the associations for developing standards for educational programs such as management, human resources, and state and municipal administration were based. Many departments still exist and maintain their traditions. We are actively reviving engineering education and research at our university. Our student design bureau won a grant from the Ministry of Education and Science among all the universities in the country. This is not so much about money as it is about status and recognition."

In turn, Alexander Zazhigalkin presented the Academy's areas of activity, its achievements, and development plans.

"Our academy is a leader in quality management. Every year, over 12,000 people study in 200 programs at branches and core departments across the country. These are primarily engineers and technical specialists, but we also include economists and company executives. In terms of continuing education, we are regional leaders in our field. Standardization and quality management are important in many areas of activity and are becoming increasingly relevant today," shared the rector of the Rosstandart Academy.

Vice-Rector Maria Karelina introduced the guest to the research projects currently underway at SUM and those planned for the near future. Alexander Zazhigalkin expressed interest and suggested exploring this topic further in their future work.

Another important area noted by the parties was network educational programs. Vladimir Stroyev emphasized that "the State University of Management has chosen a strategy of interaction and expanding cooperation," and cited examples of the joint Advanced Engineering School with the M.D. Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technical University and a network program with the Kuban Agricultural University.

Following the meeting, the leaders identified key areas of potential collaboration, agreed to create working groups, and draft a cooperation agreement and a roadmap for implementing joint projects.

Moscow theaters and concert halls have successfully adapted to the changes in ticketing and event admission rules. This is evidenced by growing attendance and revenue. It has been decided that the admission system will be maintained permanently.

"Moscow theaters and concert halls demonstrated successful adaptation to changes in ticket purchasing rules last season. This is evidenced by the growth in attendance figures for the first eight months of 2025—compared to the same period last year, our theater attendance has grown by seven percent, reaching three million people," said the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Department of Culture.

Alexey Fursin.

The rules came into effect on March 15 of this year. The changes were necessary to make the ticket purchasing process more transparent and controllable and to enhance security during performances and concerts.

The city has done everything possible to ensure the new system for visiting cultural institutions is as convenient as possible for citizens. This includes significantly expanding the list of documents required to verify a visitor's identity. At the same time, according to Department of CultureWhen purchasing a ticket, a passport is most often used.

Cultural institution directors, in turn, note that tickets have become more readily available for purchase by spectators, while those who made money illegally have found it significantly more difficult.

"We analyzed the results of the pilot project and feedback from institutions and believe that the current rules should remain in place permanently," concluded Alexey Fursin.

London, September 17 (Xinhua) — Britain and the United States agreed on a multi-billion-dollar technology deal during US President Donald Trump's state visit to accelerate the development of fast-growing areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and nuclear energy, the British government announced on Tuesday.

According to the official statement, the Technological Prosperity Deal aims to accelerate AI research to create new drugs, faster treatments, and improved cancer therapy, as well as support civilian nuclear projects.

As part of the agreement, Microsoft will invest US$30 billion in AI infrastructure in the UK, while Google will open a data centre in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, as part of a two-year, multi-billion pound investment in the country.

However, critics warn of Britain's growing dependence on the US and American technology and the potential consequences.

The American publication Politico quoted Gaia Marcus of the independent Ada Lovelace Institute, who warned: “We shouldn’t focus only on today’s numbers if price is tomorrow’s technological dependency, limiting our ability to explore alternatives in the future.”

Chi Onwurah, Chair of the House of Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, said: “True technological sovereignty cannot mean dependence on one investor or country.”

Donald Trump arrived in London on Tuesday evening. This is his second state visit to the UK. Nearly 100 protesters gathered on the streets near Windsor Castle on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, chanting slogans against the visit and waving signs reading "Stop Hate, Stop Trump" and "Hate Never Made a Nation Great."

Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of London on Wednesday to protest against the US president, according to the Stop Trump Coalition.
