As noted by Tatyana Golikova, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, upon conclusion of the session, the project’s funding is expected to increase by 5 billion rubles in 2021. She also pointed out that, traditionally, the project’s 10-billion ruble budget is distributed in amounts of 900 million for universities in the first group, 450 million for universities in the second group, and 120 to 130 million for those in the third.
“In comparison to 2018, two major changes have occurred within the first group: ITMO University has moved up from the fifth to the second position, while Novosibirsk State University came down from fourth to seventh. There are no notable changes within the second group. As for the third – South Ural State University has risen significantly, while Siberian Federal University ranked lower,” says Tatyana Golikova, the Council’s Chair.
As described in an official press release, the universities are sorted into three groups based on three criteria: their performance in academic rankings, indicators of their scientific, educational, international, and financial performance, and evaluations by the Council’s members.
Twelve universities presented their reports during the first day of the session; nine more universities presented reports on the second day, one of them being ITMO University.
