Lectures will be delivered by invited professors from India and France: in person – by Professor Selvamuthu Dharamraja and Dr. Raina Raj of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, online – by Dr. Priyanka Kalita from Bhattadev University (Patsala, India) and Dr. Anisha Aggarwal from Telecom SudParis (France). The lecturer from the Russian side is Alexander Rumyantsev, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Head of the Laboratory of Stochastic Modeling of Information, Computing, and Telecommunication Systems (SMICTCS) at the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS. In an “open mic” format, young scientists participating in the training program presented their research and received feedback from the guests.
– In addition to the substantive part, an important dimension of such events is their informal component, where colleagues can get to know each other and learn more about each other's work. It's the first time we are visited by scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology, and we look forward to productive cooperation now and in the future, – remarked Alexander Rumyantsev.
The institute already has good experience of cooperation with partners from India, in particular, there is a Memorandum of Understanding with the Central University of Kerala and Mahindra University, and a successful RFBR-funded Russia-India project in the field of stochastic modeling has been implemented.

Learners at a lecture
The audience consists of young scientists, senior-, Master's- and doctoral students, and novice researchers from educational and scientific organizations in India, KarRC RAS, and Petrozavodsk State University. The latter are represented by an expanded group of participants of the weekly workshop “Probabilistic Models of Communication Systems,” which is held under the guidance of Professor Evsey Morozov at IAMR KarRC RAS.
This series of lectures is included in the framework of SMARTY events organized by the SMICTCS Laboratory IAMR KarRC RAS. The central event is the international workshop held at the Institute biennially. It gathers scientists from different countries, working on theoretical, algorithmic and methodological aspects of the queuing theory and applied probability theory. The next SMARTY workshop is scheduled for 2026, and in August 2025 the SMARTY Youth Camp 2025 will take place.
