In 2024, 42 universities from 16 regions of Russia are to become the recipients of the special (enhanced) part of the funding. In addition to the basic part of the grant, they will receive additional funding for 13.98 billion rubles.
“The Russian Ministry of Education and Science's commission evaluates not past achievements, but the dynamics of change at universities across all key areas of their activities—from student engagement to partner interactions. Based on the results of 2023, we see that the program is fulfilling its purpose—it stimulates universities to develop," said the head of Russian Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov.
As a reminder, on December 2, representatives of Moscow Polytechnic University summarized the results of their completed projects under the "Priority 2030" strategic academic leadership program and presented them to the Council under the territorial and/or sectorial leadership track.
