In cooperation with Media Arab for Media Production, UrFU launched a program to teach Russian language in Egypt. The UrFU Russian Language Center was opened in Cairo in September 2021.

Another key event of the year was the launch of the UrFU website in Arabic. Three students from Iraq, Jordan, and Egypt together with UrFU International Marketing Office made a tremendous amount of effort and translated the UrFU website into Arabic.

UrFU helped Afghan students to come to Ekaterinburg and continue their studies at the university.

In the summer of 2021, Tokyo held the Olympic Games. Our students and graduates won many medals. Among them, there is a gold medal won by David Belyavskiy, a member of the Russian gymnastics team.

On the initiative of Ural Federal University, Ural Interregional Research and Education Center launched the first carbon polygon in Russia.

One of the main achievements of the year is that Ural Federal University joined the Priority 2030 federal academic leadership programme. In the coming years the university will focus on the development of research projects and applied developments together with leading enterprises and scientific organizations, strengthening graduate and postgraduate programs. More programs will be available for foreign applicants.

"The university's digital transformation and individualization of educational trajectories will make UrFU a sought-after partner and a key center for training qualified specialists for high-tech sectors of the economy," said UrFU rector Victor Koksharov.

Ural Federal University is ranked first in social media activity rankings among Russian universities.
