According to the Head of the University, Russia is a stable leader in a number of advanced fields, and UrFU has noticed that the interest in the achievements of our scientific schools is growing both in other regions and in the world.

"I am sure that support for the best initiatives will not end with the end of the Year - and here the leading universities remain a reliable assistant for scientific institutions, industrial partners, business and government," added the rector. 

Victor Koksharov's colleagues in the rector corps - heads of the National University of Science and Technology MISiS Alevtina Chernikova, Lomonosov Moscow State University Victor Sadovnichy, Kazan Federal University Andrey Falaleev, Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy Vladimir Trukhachev, Southern Federal University Inna Shevchenko, Тomsk State University Eduard Galazhinsky, Altai State University Daud Mamiy - also received letters of gratitude for their significant contribution to the Year.

"The main goal of the Year of Science and Technology is to attract young people to science. A special role in solving this task belongs to Russian universities, which work with students every day, helping to reveal the talent of each of them, to make their first steps in science, to interest them in the field of research and development. The Rector's community made a great contribution to the thematic year and its closing event, the Congress of Young Scientists. I thank each of you for your noble work and dedication," Valery Falkov noted.
