About cyber protectors and cyber sportsmen

Over 7,500 persons applied to take part in the competitions of the XIII Eurasian Economic Youth Forum. Of these, about 1,200 hope to reach the finals of the Congress of Innovators.

As envisioned by the organizers, this congress is a platform for professional growth in information technologies and digital business. During the forum, they will hold IT-constructor website building championship, international championship “Competition: Analytics and Information Security,” International Hackathon on Technological Sovereignty Projects in Industry, international competition of project of young scientists and students on the development of gaming industry and e-sports.

All these practical events represent different areas of the computer industry. Both team and individual participation are allowed. Many young people dream of “rolling into IT”, and the Congress of Innovators can be the jumping-off point where from they can start their successful career in this field. The experts of the congress - university professors and practitioners from commercial companies and projects - will help the participants fulfil their potential.

In 2022, because of the tense international situation, many Russian websites, from the portal of the Russian Government to small local resources, were attacked by cybercriminals. The demand for Internet security specialists has grown overnight.

Besides, in the spotlight is the computer entertainment industry, which every year attracts more and more technologies, financial and intellectual resources. E-sports and gaming business, event management, coaching and business planning in this area are gradually becoming important components of success, as in traditional sports.

Congress participants often used their own existing developments. And the closing ceremony of the forum for many was only the beginning of a long journey of professional growth. Some of last year’s participants are planning to take part again. But most of those who applied for the congress are newcomers who decided to try their hand at EEYF for the first time.

This became possible, among other things, due to the forum geographic growth. Along with USUE, the venues for the Congress of Innovators will be Vladivostok State University and Belarusian State Economic University (Minsk). As of now, 73 and 43 participants have been registered there, respectively.

Teams of participants will represent universities from Moscow, Perm, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Voronezh, Kazan, Omsk, and Novosibirsk. Yekaterinburg, besides USUE, will be represented by students from Ural Federal University, the Technical University of UMMC, the Ural State University of Railway Transport, and the Ural branch of RANEPA.

The deadline for registration for the competitions of the Congress of Innovators and for the entire XIII EEYF competition program is April 03, 2023, 00:00.
