On 5 December, the III National Scientific and Practical Conference "Digital Technologies and Solutions in Transport and Education" took place at the Russian University of Transport. The event, organized by the Department of Computing Systems, Networks and Information Security at the Institute of Management and Digital Technologies, was opened by RUT Rector Alexander Klimov. In his welcoming speech, he emphasized the relevance and importance of the issues on the agenda.

The conference was attended by representatives of Russian Railways (RZD), Transtelesoft, InfoTeCS, Perspektivny Monitoring, Softline Group, Natsproektstroy, Eshelon, the Moscow Metro and other companies.

Sergey Vakulenko, Director of the Institute of Management and Digital Technologies, noted that the conference reflects the challenges of digital transformation in the transport industry.

Boris Zhelenkov, Head of the Department of Computing Systems, Networks and Information Security, highlighted the institute's role in bringing together science, industry and business in the digitalization of transport technologies, at a time when intelligent control systems and unmanned vehicles are being introduced across every area of the transport industry. All of this requires ensuring information security in the operation of these systems.

Presentations were discussed across two sections: "Artificial Intelligence Systems" and "Digital Technologies and Information Security."

Special attention was paid to RUT's cooperation with Russian Railways (JSC "RZD"). Andrey Pinigin, First Deputy Director of the Main Computing Center, noted that in 2024 the Main Computing Center hired 12 RUT graduates, more than 150 students undergo internships there every year, and 70% of them stay on to work at the company.
