A key feature of the ratings by federal districts is the analysis of the achievements of universities, the quality of which largely determines the trends and pace of development of Russian regions
The task of universities in the regions is to create points of attraction for talented youth from Russia and other countries, young scientists and specialists. Of the 55 universities of the Volga Federal District, Vyatka State University took the 1st place (the methodology can be found here >>>
Rector of Vyatka State University Valentin Pugach noted:
"The first place among the universities of the Volga Federal District is for us an indicator of the work of the entire university team. The mission of the university is to make the Kirov region an attractive region. Within the framework of the development program of VyatSU "Priority-2030" three strategic projects are being implemented. All of them are united by the idea of human-centeredness. The Health Technologies project is aimed at solving the problems of excess weight and the lack of technologies for the production of modern biopharmaceuticals. The "Habitat" project is aimed at the transition to highly efficient and environmentally friendly technologies based on the principles of "green" energy. And "Harmonious Personality" is a project about the formation of a person's worldview, values and meanings of life, it is a response to the outflow of the intellectual elite from the regions. There is a lot of interesting work ahead to achieve new goals and results. It is important to emphasize that any graduate of a school or college can become part of the team of changes in the university, region, country and himself by enrolling in Vyatka State University, the largest university in the Kirov region.
Recall that in the previous year, Vyatka State University took 5th place in this ranking. Kirov State Medical University also entered the top 5 among the best universities in the Volga Federal District this year."
