Student families are a unique social institution that includes young people who are in the active stage of developing their professional skills as well as their own personal growth. Supporting student families is a priority in Russia’s demographic policy and a guarantee for sustainable social development that ensures the continuity of scientific traditions and spiritual and moral values. At a meeting of the Council on the Implementation of State Demographic and Family Policy, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin specifically emphasized the importance of fine-tuning support measures for young families, including student families. “Through joint efforts, we need to ensure that people – above all young people, of course – are sincerely striving to find the happiness of motherhood and fatherhood, achieving personal fulfilment in raising children, and are confident that the government will provide support when needed. To lend a helping hand, so to speak, and do everything necessary so that having children does not worsen the quality of a family’s life, but, on the contrary, improves its status,” Putin said. What do student families need to fully realize their creative and research potential? Can they successfully combine family life and raising children with getting an education and launching a scientific career? How can universities and the state help in this regard?Roll up

The current transformation of the labour market for scientists and teachers in Russia has been accompanied by a generational shift in the scientific world: 20th-century luminaries are handing over the leadership of academic projects to young scientists who are rapidly mastering new technologies. While this generational shift is accelerating the pace of change, it is also creating opportunities to master the latest, cutting-edge methods, which could accelerate scientific and technological progress. These changes in the labour market for scientists pose a serious challenge for universities: how can they modernize the university environment and academic development tools so that young scientists can effectively take up the baton and work on key research projects. What is important to young scientists today? How has the geopolitical situation influenced research preferences? Which talent management tools are most in demand at Russian universities? How can a university effectively support scientists on their challenging path? What risks does a university face if it is not prepared to actively transform its internal environment for the next generation?Roll up

Experts and the scientific community need to devote more attention to establishing an open dialogue and developing specific mechanisms to exchange knowledge and technologies between the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation and the system of higher education and science. This work requires identifying priorities for joint research, coming up with mechanisms to protect information systems, finding sources of funding, and creating a personnel training model. This should result in initial agreements on pilot projects and a roadmap for further action. How can we create an effective system for exchanging tasks, data, and results between the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation, scientific organizations, and businesses in an effort to accelerate technology transfer and create innovative solutions in matters concerning civil protection? What educational programmes and funding mechanisms are needed to train applied science experts on civil protection issues and ensure the protection of intellectual property in joint projects with the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation? How should we evaluate and scale the value of scientific developments for the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation, and what KPIs should be used to assess the effectiveness of cooperation between education and practice in the long term?Roll up

Modern scientific developments often stall at the laboratory prototype stage because the context of their application and usage scenarios are not always clear. Research design helps bridge this gap. It relies on such scientific methods as sociology, cognitive science, ergonomics, and data analytics and helps understand how people interact with technology, what barriers are hindering its further introduction, and what product solutions will be in demand on the market. How do research methods help young scientists and engineers test hypotheses, adapt their developments to the real needs of users, and accelerate the commercialization of scientific results?Roll up

The system for training skilled scientific professionals in Russia is undergoing a period of fundamental transformation as part of concerted efforts to achieve the country’s scientific and technological leadership and sovereignty. An innovative postgraduate training track is being established to train a new generation of researchers who are capable of not only generating fundamental knowledge, but also creating much-needed technological solutions. This model involves integrating education with the goals of industrial partners and the strategic priorities for the country’s scientific and technological development. What are the primary mechanisms of interaction between industry and fundamental science? What criteria are used to differentiate educational tracks in postgraduate studies? How is the transformation of the dissertation defence procedure progressing? What are some key motivational factors and what makes postgraduate studies attractive?Roll up

Much of the scientific research conducted in Russia, as well as the funding allocated for it, is concentrated at Russian research organizations, in particular, the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Several research institutes are working on some of the key focuses outlined in Russia’s Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development. However, assessments of the organizations’ activities have been reduced to counting the number of articles published by employees of these organizations in leading Russian and foreign publications. How effective and relevant is this methodology today? What are the best approaches to improving the methods used to assess the performance of both scientific organizations and individual employees?Roll up
