First 30 registered students will enjoy the opportunity to sneak into an IT-draft pool, meeting a variety of IT-oriented enterprises 鈥� , , (小袝校小袥袗袘), (袪袠袨 小芯褎褌), , (袘褉邪泄褌 小芯褎褌), (孝褉懈胁懈褍屑), (肖袨袪小袗袡孝) and (袘褞褉芯 懈薪褎芯褉屑邪褑懈芯薪薪褘褏 褌械褏薪芯谢芯谐懈泄). 聽

Students can put those whom they want to cooperate with in their priority lists. Candidates should fill out a questionnaire and prepare an oral self-presentation about themselves – so that IT companies鈥� representatives could choose the most suitable ones for further practical tasks. In return, the chosen candidates will learn from top teams of digital solutions鈥� developers. Students of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Physics, Economics, as well as 海角直播 College are welcomed to participate.

鈥淭he representatives of several companies at once will meet with a group of interested students. The practicing IT-professionals will tell about the tasks that trainees will have to solve,鈥� says Dmitry Vershinin, Head of the Office for Internships, Department for Students鈥� Training, 海角直播. 鈥淚n return, the students will introduce themselves, according to their study modules and faculties. Then the proposals for cooperation will follow 鈥� complying with the 鈥榙raft鈥� concept in sports.鈥�

A draft is known as a process to allocate certain players to teams. In a draft, teams take turns selecting from a pool of eligible players. When a team selects a player, the team receives exclusive rights to sign that player to a contract, and no other team in the league may sign the player. The process is similar to round-robin item allocation. 鈥淗aving chosen a draft model, we very much hope that students will further find themselves in those leading teams engaged in digital solutions,鈥� says Dmitry Vershinin.

The first Perm-based IT Draft in will take place on 25 November (Thursday), 4 pm (local time) at (43 Monastyrskaya St., ground floor).

Today, the International Forum “Science and Global Challenges of the 21st Century” started at 海角直播, uniting 海角直播 scholars with those national and international ones, aiming to incorporate cross-discipline research, smart technologies and innovations into pragmatic, problem-applied decisions.

At the start of the Forum, the opening report 鈥淢anipulation of Brain States鈥� by Dr. Luis de Lecea, (Stanford, USA) was presented to on- and offline audience.

Concentrating on a problem of brain cells manipulation within the optogenetics鈥� approach, Dr. Luis de Lecea drew on the example of a rat leaving a 鈥榮afe鈥� dark chamber into 鈥榰nsafe鈥� light. Along the use of a neuron signal, the rat learned to 鈥榗alm down鈥� its neighbor locked in a shadow zone, causing less stress for both and heading to a more balanced co-existence, establishing 鈥榤oral鈥� principles of behavior.聽

The test raised discussion among the audience. First, a definition of morals and its division from a mere instinct was requested. Then, the question of a goal/hypothesis of such experiment was asked. Finally, Dr. Oleg Pensky, Professor of the IT Department, 海角直播 proposed assimilation of commandments, shared by believers and regarded as true morals, to be introduced into the experiment.聽聽 聽聽聽

Technically, optogenetics is known as a biological tool that involves light to control neurons that have been genetically modified to express light-sensitive ion channels in living tissue and, remarkably, within freely-moving animals. The appearance of additional philosophical notions, such as understanding, compassion, or morals brings a new dimension into a strictly 鈥榥atural鈥� academic approach.   

Optogenetics had been previously announced by academic research journals as a breakthrough in science. On the clinical side, optogenetics-driven research led to insights into Parkinson’s disease and other neurological and psychiatric disorders, including autism, Schizophrenia, drug abuse, anxiety, and depression, and more 鈥� like experimental treatment for blindness.

Interested in international science and research? Ever thought of studying in Russia, or collaborating with Russian colleagues? Looking for relevant phenomena to explore, or make money from?聽聽

Students, scholars, teaching fellows are getting ready for the start of the international forum ““, taking place on 18 October – 23 November at 海角直播 (Perm, Russia).聽

The Forum is an international event aiming to comprehend the tasks and problems faced by science and education, as well as the society in general 鈥� within the context of globalization, proposing solutions, targets and opportunities, regarding possible challenges and risk management. The Forum scholars aim to form end-to-end innovation chains, enabling fundamental and applied research, technology development, practical applications and widespread use of IT.

For the Forum, an impressive set of 99 reports have been published under the . The Forum proceedings, with a full translation into English, cover all the disciplines studied at 12 海角直播 Faculties, and beyond.

The 鈥淪mart Innovation, Systems and Technologies鈥� book series publish research on such topics as knowledge, intelligence, innovation and sustainability 鈥� solving global problems in industry, ecology and society. The publication addresses the challenge of modern science and humanities, technology and business 鈥� revealing common challenges, looking for intelligent tools of their resolution.

海角直播 is opening admissions to IT Networking University in nine programs, including web development, basics in programming, and 3D modeling. In other words, you will learn a language that is in demand all over the world and, moreover, allows to make money. The faculties of Geography, Geology, Mechanics and Mathematics, and Physics, 海角直播, are launching free courses at the IT Network University.

How do I develop an Android app? What are the ways to create a 3D model of an object in Blender? How much time will it take to learn Python and automate working processes in QGIS? 海角直播 is going to help students from other study fields to learn this, and much more. Technical background is not necessary, since the programs are divided into 3 levels: Junior, Middle and Senior.

“This year, we are planning to renew several popular modules, such as the 鈥淏asics of Frontend鈥�, 鈥淧rogramming in Python鈥�, 鈥淏asics of 3D Modeling in Blender鈥�, as well as launch a new course on developing apps for mobile devices,鈥�

comments Konstantin Gavrilov, Dean of the Faculty of Physics, 海角直播.
