27 January - the day of the complete liberation of Leningrad from fascist invaders The significance of this day for the fate of Leningrad can hardly be overestimated. The blockade lasted from 8 September 1941 to 27 January 1944. The Germans aimed to break the resistance of the defenders of Leningrad and capture it, but were defeated. Dear friends, polytechnics, citizens of St. Petersburg, on this memorable day we call on you to remember those who laid down their lives in defence of our Motherland. We remember! We are proud!

The joint winter school of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Moscow Aviation Institute opened today! This is the second joint project of the international school of two leading technical universities. This year the participants - Chinese students of the Northwestern Polytechnical University will be trained on the program "Polymer composites and additive technologies". The first week of training will be held at MAI, where students will learn about the main types of binders and fillers used in composite materials, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The second part of the program will take place on the basis of Polytechnic. Students will learn about additive manufacturing, which is increasingly used in a wide variety of industries, including the technology of electric arc growth of metal parts from wire.

SPbPU postgraduate student from Kazakhstan on the development of Alzheimer's disease treatment 🧠 Nikita Zernov is a postgraduate student of the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnologies from Kazakhstan. 💬 I graduated from the Master's program at Polytechnic, and here I decided to grow further in the scientific direction. I work in the Laboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration. Nikita is one of the winners of the Best International Grant for PhD (BIG PhD) competition. 💬 The BIG PhD competition gives full resources for the realization of research activities. Of course, I had some doubts about winning - there are many foreign PhD students at Polytechnic University, and it was clear that only the most promising projects would receive financial support. Nevertheless, I decided to participate, and I was among the best. At Polytechnic, Nikita and the Laboratory team are developing a pharmacological solution for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Today is a very important day for all citizens from Leningrad. 81 years ago, during the "Iskra" offensive operation, the ring of the fascist blockade of Leningrad was broken. For the whole world 900 days of the Blockade is an example of unbending fortitude, will to live, devotion to one's city and country! An example, the memory of which we are obliged to preserve for centuries, and to do our best to make the descendants of those who gave their lives in the fight against fascism worthy of this feat! Thousands of polytechnics were among the heroes who fought for Leningrad. In this photo from 1941, polytechnics as part of the 3rd division of the Leningrad People's Militia Army go to the front as volunteers. And those who stayed in the besieged city, built defence barriers, worked on fulfilling military orders, made the most important scientific contribution to the approaching Victory! «No one is forgotten and nothing is forgotten!» Russian text by the rector of SPbPU @andreyrudskoi

Fourth in the Russian rating and 22nd in the world rating is the Polytechnic Supercomputer Center 🔥 The Center was opened in 2015 to help Polytechnic scientists solve complex problems in the field of natural science research using the unique computing power of the Supercomputer. It has high-performance computing systems of different architectures with a total peak performance of more than 1.2 PFlops (petaflops - quadrillion floating-point operations per second, or 1,000 teraflops). ⚡️ The Polytech supercomputer has been used to calculate the system of emergency rescue of astronauts, combustion in weightlessness, a presidential limousine, and the first plasma of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). 👍 Today, the Polytechnic Supercomputer Center is used not only by scientific teams of Polytechnic, but also by researchers from other universities, large industrial companies, and scientists conducting scientific research that requires the use of high-performance computing systems.
