The All-Academic Student Scientific Society as a Driver of Future Science Development: Results of the II Congress of the Student Scientific Society of the Presidential Academy

Abstract

The article is an analytical review of the results of the II Congress of the Student Scientific Society of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), held on August 25–29, 2025 at the Moscow Campus. The purpose of the publication is to understand the institutional role of the Congress as a catalyst for the consolidation and qualitative transformation of the young scientific community of the Academy. Based on the analysis of the event program, the content of discussions and practical results, the thesis on the strategic transition from the initiative stage of student science development to the stage of systemic integration into the university’s research infrastructure and the national scientific agenda is substantiated. The paper examines in detail the architecture of the congress, combining educational sessions on the methodology of scientific activity, strategic discussions on the mission of the SS and practical work on the development of interdisciplinary research projects in inter-branch teams. Special attention is paid to the development of standards for scientific and educational formats and networking mechanisms. It is concluded that the key result of the congress was not only the strengthening of horizontal links within the distributed network of SS, but also the formation of specific research areas integrated into the long-term plan of scientific events of the RANEPA. Thus, the annual congress of the Presidential Academy of Sciences is established as a key platform for the formation of a scientific personnel reserve, where the mission of training future scientific leaders is realized through building personal professional growth trajectories for research students in accordance with the priorities of the scientific and technological development of the Academy and the country.
