National research university

National Research University of Russia (NRU, Russian: Национальный исследовательский университет России, romanized: Nazionalny issledowatelski universitet Rossii) is a status granted to universities on a competitive basis for a revocable period of ten years.[1] Institutions awarded this status are required to integrate both education and research into their operations.

Competition

The aim of the competition was to select universities that not only provided effective professional training but were also capable of integrating scientific research into their institutional activities.

The competition was organized by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. In order to obtain the status of a National Research University, applicants were evaluated on factors including the university's current condition and development dynamics, staff development, educational and research infrastructure, the effectiveness of education, science and innovation activities, internationally recognized indicators of quality and relevance, and the anticipated impact of awarding the status.[2]

Revocation of status

Universities are required to report regularly on the implementation of their development programs. The status may be revoked.[2]

History

The National Research University project was launched on 7 October 2008. In the same year, the President of the Russian Federation issued a decree "On the implementation of the pilot project to establish national research universities".[3] Under the same decree, the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute and the National University of Science and Technology MISIS were granted National Research University status without competition as the first institutions to receive it.[4]

On 13 July 2009, the Government of the Russian Federation issued a resolution establishing an open competition among Russian universities for National Research University status.[5] The official launch of the competition took place on 31 July 2009.[6] Of the 110 applications submitted, 28 finalists were selected. On 17 October 2009, a commission determined the 12 winners.[7]

On 5 February 2010, an order was issued to conduct a second competition.[8] This competition received 128 applications. From 32 finalists, a commission selected 15 universities to be granted National Research University status.[2] The list was approved by the government on 20 May 2010.
