We’ve launched numerous new programs this year, each designed to meet the demands of rapidly evolving industries. Here are just some of them:

🚀 Hybrid Communication Network Engineer – in partnership with aerospace company Bureau 1440, this is Russia’s first Master’s program for engineers who can bridge satellite and terrestrial communications into a single seamless system.

💡 Integrated Photonics Technologies – this new track trains engineers and researchers to develop photonic chips and optoelectronic devices for AI systems, data centers, and telecommunications.

🎨 Design and Development of Digital Products – an online Master’s program focused on AI advancements and a growing demand for product‑minded designers. Delivered in partnership with Sberbank, Dodo Pizza, VK, and other major Russian companies.

📊 Business Transformation Technologies and Strategies – a major curriculum update puts AI implementation at the core. Students learn to manage the full cycle of digital transformation, with new partners Sberbank and Nexign bringing real‑world case studies and industry expertise.

🩺 Health Data – Russia’s first track for health data engineers and analysts. Students master the full cycle of medical data: collecting, standardizing, and harmonizing information while ensuring privacy and compatibility with digital health products.

Ever tried measuring your own attention span? 🧠

For last week’s World Brain Day, we wanted to help turn abstract concepts like memory and focus into something you can actually test – right at home.

We’ve picked three fun neuroscience experiments that let you explore how your own brain works: check them out!

Smart solutions, better cities, and a well-deserved summer break. Here’s what happened at ITMO this week:

🏥 ITMO’s Digital Public Health Technologies lab has developed MAS-EHR, a multiagent platform that converts mismatche medical texts, scans, and tables into structured, AI-ready records.

🏙️ Researchers at ITMO have unveiled Russia’s first service for rapid planning of social urban infrastructure.

🌿 Exams are over! Our latest guide covers self-care tips and fun activities that’ll help you shake off post-exam fatigue and enjoy the summer in full.

And here are a couple of posts you shouldn’t miss:

Who’s responsible for AI? 🤔

When AI helps write a paper, who’s the author? If a self-driving car crashes, who’s at fault? These aren’t sci‑fi questions anymore – they’re part of our everyday life, and there’s a whole science that studies them.

We sat down with Daria Chirva, an ITMO expert and member of the National Committee for AI Ethics, to unpack the big questions of AI ethics and how this discipline is studied and applied at ITMO.
