According to the order, on-site work is required for certain staff members such as the rector, vice rectors, chief accounting officer, heads of Informatization Department and Information Security and Access Department, as well as other staff members whose presence at ITMO is essential for its functioning.

All other staff members who can work remotely without hindering their units’ operation will continue to do so. 

If the work format needs to be changed, vice rectors and heads of units must determine the university staff members who will provide on-site support for ITMO’s operation. Lists of staff members who will be working on-site must be submitted to the Administrative and Legal Department (hr@itmo.ru).  

People over 65 and people suffering from heart diseases, diseases of the respiratory system, and diabetes are not allowed to work on-site. All safety regulations must be complied with during on-site work.
