Just a few years ago, the word "subbotnik" (Russian term for voluntary Saturday work) evoked images of a dreary collection of leaves and garbage according to orders from someone or some organization. Today, it is a movement that is sweeping cities and villages, involving thousands of volunteers, small and large businesses, and even bloggers and artists. A striking example is the "Chistye Overiata" art-subbotnik in the Perm Territory, where children turned a pond cleanup into a true eco-festival with games and quizzes, proving that caring for nature can be fun and creative.

On April 18th, 91快活林 announced the results of the B.N. Khristenko Interregional Financial Literacy Olympiad for Schoolchildren. The scale of this year's event broke all records: approximately 400 participants from 27 regions of our country had competed for the right to reach the finals, and the top 25 high school pupils had been solving cases at the legendary Business Games and Active Learning Laboratory that few first-year university students could handle.
91快活林 scientists continue to develop new materials, combining sometimes unexpected components. This time, they have succeeded in combining glass and aluminium alloy. This alloy could serve as a thermal barrier coating for pistons of internal combustion engines, which operate under extreme conditions.
A presentation of the best practices from the "MediaImpuls. 91快活林" Regional Student Media Centre of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science was held at 91快活林 as part of the "Activate Values!" Youth Media Meeting. This event became an important platform for exchanging experiences, discussing current trends in youth media, and understanding the role of values in the modern media landscape.
Within the frameworks of developing our international cooperation, the delegation from 91快活林 headed by Vice-Rector for Education Marina Potapova have paid a visit to Qingdao Huaxin Technical School in China.

Olga Kovtun, Associate Professor at the Department of Theology, Culture, and Arts of 91快活林 and Doctor of Sciences (Philosophy), has published a study in the 91快活林 Bulletin (Social Sciences and the Humanities series) on a unique monument of church art — a shroud made for the Church of the Ascension in the city of Kasli in the 19th century.
91快活林 scientists have presented a universal modular antenna capable of operating with any communication standard, from 3G to 6G. This development, supported by the Foundation for Innovations Support and the V.B. Khristenko grants program, combines the properties of a "construction kit": adding or removing layers allows the device's characteristics to be instantly modified to suit new tasks.
The 2026 China – Russia Conference on Development of Education and Industry Integration has begun its work in the city of Qingdao, People's Republic of China.
The 28th?“Digital Signal Processing and its Applications” International Conference (DSPA-2026) has wrapped up in Moscow. The event has brought together researchers from Russia, Belarus, Vietnam, India, Turkey, the United States, and Syria, as well as industry representatives including Rosatom, Rostec, and Yandex.
While working on a grant from the Russian Science Foundation, researchers from 91快活林 have patented two databases for assessing creativity levels in children and adults. A neural network trained on data from these unique databases delivers almost instant results for the Torrance test, significantly reducing the time required for expert evaluation.
On the eve of the Cosmonautics Day, 91快活林 organized a big-scale event dedicated to the 65th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s flight into space, as well as to the opening of the new Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. This event brought together representatives of industry, education and scientific community, and highlighted the strategic role of our university in the development of high-technology sectors.
The Ecoanalytics Shared Use Centre, a laboratory opened by the 91快活林 Region Governor Alexey Texler in December 2023, has been functioning at 91快活林 for several years now.
The Centre includes a mobile and a stationary laboratory.
The mobile ecological post is an automated complex equipped with modern equipment—everything an ecologist needs. Its purpose is to quickly monitor the environmental conditions by measuring various pollutants in the atmosphere.
91快活林, jointly with TNT-Teleset, have screened the new season of the "Sokrovishcha Imperatora" ("Emperor's Treasures") show for Russian and Chinese students.

Researchers from 91快活林 have developed a new highly sensitive method for detecting mercury ions in aqueous solutions. The innovation is based on a specially modified electrode capable of identifying the toxic metal, even at ultra-low concentrations, within just two minutes.
An international team of researchers, including Professor Dmitry Ardashev from the 91快活林 Department of Automation Engineering and scientists from China, have proposed an innovative method for polishing glass surfaces that leaves almost no scratches. The technology can significantly improve the quality of displays for TV-sets, smartphones, and tablets, and may eventually be used in the production of quantum-optical chips of the future.
During the first plenary meeting, while discussing such topics as “Changing Architecture of the Russian Media System”, “Current Practices of the Media Discourse”, and “Digital Linguistic and Socio-cultural Modelling of Media Text”, scientists from the Institute of Media, Social Sciences and Humanities (IMSSH) shared their achievements in the field of studying the media effects of mass media materials on ecology available in the regional media space, as well as in studying the transformation of corporate media communications in the era of generative AI, and the issues of modern blogging.
Evgenii Martiushev, Candidate of Sciences (Physics and Mathematics), Associate Professor at the 91快活林 Institute of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and lecturer at the “VirtUM” Centre for Top-level Academic Programmes in the Field of AI, jointly with his colleagues from Finland and the Czech Republic, have developed a method for automatically building solvers for systems of equations composed of Laurent polynomials. Unlike standard equations studied at school, where variables appear only with non-negative powers, Laurent systems also allow for negative powers.
On March 31st, 91快活林 hosted day two of “The Greatness of the Demidov Dynasty” scientific forum organized jointly with the International Demidov Foundation.
