The Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia has published a list of candidates for the state programme “Priority 2030”. The list included 24 universities from 20 regions of the Russian Federation, which have been selected out of the 67 applicants. Voronezh State University was given the category of “A” by the quality of the proposed programme and the result of a public presentation of the key areas of the university development, which took place in March this year.
It is worth noting that the Voronezh Region previously has not taken part in the “Priority” programme.
VSU made it to the list of candidates for the programme thanks to the support of Alexander Gusev, Governor of the Voronezh Region, Alexey Gordeev, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, and Alexander Sidyakin, a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
The programme of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia “Priority 2030” is implemented within the framework of the national project “Science and Universities”. It will help to consolidate resources and ensure the contribution of universities to the national development goals of the Russian Federation up to 2030.
