The head of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Alexander Sergeyev, on the eve spoke out in support of the strategic academic leadership program of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

“The Russian Academy of Sciences is ready to provide comprehensive scientific and methodological support to the program: both in terms of creating partnerships, consortia, and in terms of providing the academic sites of our departments to discuss the development programs of these associations, we are ready to form academic supervisory boards in universities, work on sites in these universities and so on,” said the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

According to the statement of Alexander Sergeyev, the connection between the RAS and universities is in the tradition of Russian science. Based on this, the Russian Academy of Sciences is ready to support the new program and actively participate in its implementation.

The First Vice-Rector of the Ural Federal University for Economics and Strategic Development Daniil Sandler said that the university supports the decisions inherent in the concept of the new program. As part of this program, UrFU plans to actively interact with the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and with industrial partners.

“An important feature of this work will be an updated model of university activities, which, on the one hand, assumes a significant contribution to the development of a region or a specific industry, and on the other hand, enhances global competitiveness and the export of educational services,” said Daniil Sandler. - UrFU is able to solve these problems, relying on the team, partners and the support of regional authorities. In addition, the university’s participation in the new program will certainly strengthen the position of the Ural Interregional Research Education Center “Advanced Production Technologies and Materials”, in which the university takes an active part. ”
