Around agriculture in 4 days: RUDN University agronomists participated in the “Cultivating the Future” accelerator
The lecture series included sustainable farming practices, the use of technology in the industry, and market trends. Accelerator participants went to the fields of the village of Barybino to talk with farmers about the problems and opportunities of agriculture. On an excursion to the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University, agronomists got acquainted with plant species that are kept in urban conditions using modern methods.
“I didn’t think that I would see how cereals grow and how they work with GIS technologies right in the field! It turned out that agriculture is now a technologically advanced and modern area. At the lectures they talked about biotechnology, biological products and even GMOs,” Sofya Snychkova, applicant.
The accelerator concluded with the final presentations of the participants, who showed innovative solutions for agricultural problems. Experts who assessed the results:
- Alexey Lukov — graduate of the agricultural faculty of RUDN University (now the Agricultural Technological Institute), top manager of UPL;
- Valentin Vvedensky — head of the Agronomy department;
- Valery Burlutsky is a senior lecturer at the Agrobiotechnological Department.
“Here everyone becomes colleagues, which allows us to open up greater horizons in our professional activities in the future. I, as a representative of the international organization UPL, a leading manufacturer of plant protection products, am pleased to see the high potential of future young specialists,” Alexey Lukov.
“We worked with applicants, graduate students and specialists in the field of agriculture. This synergy allows ‘diverse’ groups to come to unique ideas, and also motivates them for further scientific and professional activities,” Valeria Gresis, organizer.
“The trip to the field showed useful practice — we learned to distinguish the varietal characteristics of new breeding lines, became familiar with spectral diagnostic technologies, and biotechnological techniques. It was impressive that strangers united in a common cause. It was very interesting to see how everyone designed their final projects,” — Anastasia Kryuchkova, 2nd year, Agricultural Technological Institute, “Agronomy”.
The first research and practical conference ‘Functional Morphology of the Tissue Microenvironment: From Theory to Practice’, dedicated to the memory of Academician Mikhail Paltsev of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was held at RUDN. It brought together leading researchers from Russia, China and other countries.
The Skolkovo Foundation (VEB.RF), together with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation and the country’s leading industrial companies, announced the launch of the sixth cycle of Russia’s largest supplier ecosystem development program for industry, GreenTech Sustainable Development. Applications from developers of technological solutions will be accepted until October 20, 2025.
In November, RUDN University hosted the country's first scientific and practical conference, “Clinical Laser Medicine in Russia: Advanced Technologies”. The event brought together specialists from various fields of medicine and biophotonics. It was attended by more than 300 scientists, researchers, and practicing doctors of various specialties from Russia and 32 foreign countries involved in laser technologies, as well as over 650 representatives of the younger generation—students, interns, graduate students, and young scientists.
