40 KSUAE students are undergoing free training in the vocational profession of “Reinforcement Worker, 2nd category”

KSUAE won a grant competition to implement the "Second-Grade Reinforcer" vocational training program. Forty first- and second-year students began classes on April 6, 2026. Thanks to the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science (in accordance with a Russian Government decree), course participants are learning the profession completely free of charge—an excellent opportunity to gain a sought-after vocational specialty, as well as additional competencies that will help them in their future professional development. The first lecture was held at the "Forum" Multifunctional Center.

Students master the theoretical component in classroom lessons. Practical skills are honed by assembling reinforcement cages according to drawings. Students work with rebar tying tools, assemble the components of the future cage, and assemble them into a single structure. All participants demonstrate a high level of interest—they strive not only to master the technological process but also to learn how to do it quickly, competently, and accurately. Under the guidance of supervisors, students work in teams on practical assignments. This helps achieve another important goal: developing personal qualities. Students learn to work in a team, combine their knowledge and skills with the experience of their colleagues, and build positive communication within a new team. It's worth noting that KSUACE has been training reinforcement workers for several years now. Since 2023, 160 members of student construction teams have completed training in this in-demand profession.

A project by KSUAE architecture students won first award in a prestigious international competition in Japan

On March 25, 2026, the results of the prestigious international competition for ideas to develop the "Museum Road" were announced in Kobe, Japan. Both students and professional architects were invited to participate.

In the first round, a team of architecture students consisting of Ksenia Egorova (fourth year), Daria Shel (fifth year), and Elena Solnyshkova (third year), under the guidance of professors Ilnar and Rezeda Akhtyamova, successfully completed the competition and advanced to the final round, among seven teams competing out of 122 applications submitted by participants from around the world.

In the second round of presentations in Japan, the students submitted their proposal, which centers on transforming the transit zone between museums into an independent immersive environment. The team proposed reimagining the visitor's journey, transforming it into a "Soundscape," where the acoustic experience becomes the primary factor in cognition.

Following the review, the KSUAE project was awarded FIRST PLACE, receiving the highest praise from the international jury: - "The project, awarded the Grand Prix as the most creative, attracted attention not only with its striking visual expression but also with its unique concept for the development of the urban environment. The project offers a vibrant visual space where one can experience and hear the true 'sounds' of the city. This innovative idea was highly praised by the jury as a solution capable of expanding the cultural potential of Museum Road and Kobe as a whole, creating new value for the city." - "The project demonstrated an outstanding level of creativity, which was the main criterion of the competition. The jury praised the unprecedented concept of 'experiencing roads through sound' and the inspiring vision of the future it offers for Museum Road!"

Second award was shared by large-scale collaborations between professional firms (ALTEMY Inc., Fumi Aso) and leading Japanese universities (the universities of Tokyo, Kyoto, and others). Prizes also include leaders of Japanese students, independent architects, and large design firms such as FISH+ARCHITECTS.

In 2026, the Kobe administration plans to incorporate these ideas into the city's development by engaging the winning architects as experts for this Agreement. The winners received generous prizes: 1,000,000 yen for first place, 500,000 yen for second place, and 100,000 yen for the top three places.

Congratulations to Ksenia, Daria, and Elena and their leaders on such a significant income!
