The founder of the POVUZAM service performed in the semi-finals of the Strong Ideas of the New Age contest

Participated in the semi-finals of the national competition "Strong ideas of the New Age" Oksana Ashirova is the founder of the POVUZAM service, which helps applicants to consciously choose higher and secondary specialized educational institutions. The project has already received the support of the Frontiers of Science Guild, which has invested 10 million rubles in it.

Speaking to the expert jury, Oksana Ashirova emphasized how important it is to hear and listen to future students. According to her, students should choose a university not based on a beautiful website, but on the atmosphere, according to the real feelings they received during personal acquaintance. Only a conscious choice allows you to study with pleasure and further create the future of the country.

Today POVUZAM cooperates with 60 partner universities in 15 regions of Russia. Among them — Bauman Moscow State Technical University, HSE, MEPhI, ITMO University, RUDN University and other leading educational centers. More than 10,000 people have already completed face-to-face and virtual tours organized by the service. The project is included in the register of practices for scaling in the BRICS countries.

In April 2025, the Frontiers of Science Guild (a partner of the Decade of Science and Technology) awarded a grant of 10 million rubles to the developers of the service. The support is aimed at developing career guidance formats that help high school students make an informed choice of their future profession and place of study.
