On 25 March, 2026, the III National (All-Russian) Scientific and Practical Conference "Modern Technologies in Engineering Systems and Urban Services" was held at the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU). The event was attended by young scientists, researchers, and senior and PhD students. Among those gathered were scientists from Krasnoyarsk, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Nizhnevartovsk, Perm, St Petersburg, Saratov, Tyumen, Ulyanovsk, and other cities, as well as from Kazakhstan.
Evgeny Korolev, Vice-Rector for Research at SPbGASU, addressed the conference participants with a welcoming address. In his speech, he noted the importance of holding such scientific events for the development of engineering education and strengthening interactions between the university, the scientific community, and industry representatives. Particular attention was paid to the role of innovative technologies in addressing pressing urban development challenges and training highly qualified specialists.

The plenary session featured presentations on key areas of engineering systems development. Participants discussed the challenges of waste heat recovery in confined spaces, the interaction of automated information systems in the electric power industry, the role of land management and cadastral specialists in urban management, and ensuring safe drinking water supply.
The conference continued with thematic sections covering a wide range of scientific and practical topics. The "Water Use and Ecology" section examined modern technologies for treating domestic wastewater, discussed environmental safety and rational use of water resources, and addressed urban greening issues.
The "Geodesy, Land Management, and Cadastres" section was devoted to issues of digitalization of cadastral activities, development of "smart city" technologies, geodetic support for construction processes and information modeling technologies in building construction, as well as monitoring of engineering infrastructure.
The section “Information Technology, Mathematical Modeling, and Teaching Mathematics in Higher Education” discussed modern modeling methods, the use of artificial intelligence in design, and the use of mathematical models in solving interdisciplinary scientific problems and game theory in economics.
The topic “Construction Physics, Electrical Power Engineering, and Electrical Engineering” combined research in the fields of energy efficiency, acoustic comfort of the urban environment, and automation of engineering systems.
The section "Heat, Gas Supply and Ventilation" addressed current issues of developing heat supply systems, increasing energy efficiency, using renewable energy sources and improving ventilation technologies.
The conference became a platform for the exchange of scientific experience, discussion of current industry issues, and the search for promising solutions in the field of engineering systems and urban management.
