How the Sirius University of Science and Technology is evolving and why its programs are unique
The Sirius University of Science and Technology has implemented a new approach to education and research: students are engaged in advanced scientific research with university scientists from the very beginning of their studies.
All university programs have been developed in collaboration with partner companies and leading research centers, ensuring that the most relevant skills are developed. This allows for the training of specialists with highly relevant competencies.
Practical scientists from some of the best universities and academic centers in the country and around the world, as well as experts from leading hi-tech companies, regularly come to Sirius University to deliver lectures and conduct workshops.
Unlike traditional universities, Sirius University does not have traditional departments and faculties.
The University's Research centers conduct research in the most important areas for Russia: genomics, immunobiology and biomedicine, neurobiology, gene therapy, plant genome editing, biotechnology, AI, robotics, clinical psychology, ecology and climate change issues.
The laboratory complex of the Sirius University of Science and Technology is one of the largest in the country in the field of life sciences. It combines the best achievements of science, education and industry, conducts fundamental research and creates innovative products.
The entire infrastructure of the laboratory complex is incorporated into educational programs.
The university also hosts short training programs, scientific schools and conferences, including international ones.
The University opened by the decision of President Vladimir Putin on July 1, 2019.

What is a dream college like? We explain it using the example of the Sirius University College.
The college was founded within the Sirius University of Science and Technology in 2021. It trains students in programs developed and implemented in close collaboration with partner companies, many of which are leaders in the Russian and international markets.
From their first year, students do internships at large companies, and most of them successfully combine their professional and academic activities by the end of their studies.
Since the beginning, students have a clear understanding of what employers need, as 70% of their classes is dedicated to practical work and internships and only 30% is spent on theoretical courses and lectures.
Another benefit is that the college trains specialists in popular fields, such as information security, programming, web development, network administration, computer systems, and tourism and hospitality management.
All classes take place in modern classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and hardware.

How is the Sirius Innovative Science and Technology Center structured and who can become a resident?
The Sirius Innovative Science and Technology Center (ISTC) brings together high-tech companies engaged in the research and commercialization of innovative technologies.
It was created to implement innovative solutions and generate the latest developments. Today, more than 70 Russian companies are part of it.
The Sirius ISTC has become a point of attraction for numerous participants in the communities of science and technological entrepreneurship:
▫️students and young researchers are fully engaged in their own R&D;
▫️scientists are constantly sharing their knowledge, technologies, and experience;
▫️residents create innovative products and introduce pilot projects and technologies into the Federal Territory, with the potential to later scale them up in all regions of Russia.
A company that is involved in a sci-tech project in IT, genetics, life sciences, or cognitive research may become a resident of the Sirius ISTC. Among other advantages, resident companies enjoy special tax benefits.
This channel will introduce various projects of resident companies and their activities. Stay tuned for future updates.

A Science and Technology campus is set to open in Sirius, becoming one of the most advanced in the country.
The campus will accommodate 8,050 students, providing even more opportunities for students, teachers, and scientists to learn, work, and live in the federal territory.
It will become a unique space for young and talented people to work together. They will be able to bring their ideas to life, launch startups, and explore new areas of research.
In the beginning, a residential block, social infrastructure, some public areas, sports and leisure facilities are planned to be constructed. A modern medical centre and university school are also going to be built.
The construction of the residential quarter is expected to be completed by 2030.
