The final stage of the XXI All-Russian youth competition on issues of cultural heritage, ecology and life safety “UNECO-2023” took place in Moscow.
The UNECO competition is held for senior pupils and students aged 14 to 25 years, engaged in scientific or research activities. The national system “Integration” invites participants to create a project with their ideas, developments or research and present it for evaluation before an expert jury. The competition consists of two rounds: the All-Russian correspondence competition and the All-Russian in-person competition (youth forum). The purpose of the competition is to attract the attention of young people to the problem of environmental safety as an essential component of national security, to issues of well-being and health of citizens.
SPbGASU was represented by fourth-year students in the Technosphere Safety field of study Valeria Vishnyakova and Danila Markov. The team competed under the guidance of the scientific supervisor, associate professor at the Department of Technosphere Safety Aleksandr Glukhanov.
As part of the innovative educational project “Modern educational technologies to ensure occupational safety in the construction industry” (2022–2026), the SPbGASU team presented a study on the topic “Use of motion capture technology in training to work at heights”.
The students told the jury about an innovative method of teaching safe techniques for working at height using a motion capture system on the “Height” training module.
The SPbGASU team received a II degree diploma in the competition.
The team leader Aleksandr Glukhanov was awarded the badge of merit “For success in student research work”.

“The scientific project aroused great interest among the jury and those present at the defense. The essence of the technique is to record a reference set of movements of an experienced worker and then compare the trainee’s set of movements with the reference recording. The training is considered successful if the deviation calculated by comparing records does not exceed a specified level. The use of a computer program almost completely eliminates the human factor when assessing knowledge and skills and creates an accurate system for assessing learning outcomes. A survey among students showed that the proposed methodology improves the quality of training in safe methods of working at height,” noted Aleksandr Glukhanov.
