New English Programs at ITMO’s Biochemistry Cluster: SCAMT Students Share
Two new Master's programs in English - Nanoengineering for Green Chemistry and Advanced Materials and Molecular Biosensing and Biorobotics - were launched this year at the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology of ITMO's Biochemistry cluster. These educational programs adhere to the modular approach, hence the students can choose the subjects they want to learn, make the most of the lectures read by internationally renowned guest speakers, as well as participate in academic mobility programs and plan their unique educational paths. Yet, education is not the primary goal here, but just a great complement to intensive work at the SCAMT (Solution Chemistry of Advanced Materials and Technologies) International Laboratory. Students will take part in relevant research projects and publish their papers in top-rated science magazines. Thus, the new programs gathered the most promising graduates from the country's best universities; the new Master's students shared about the kinds of research they are interested in, what they expect from studying at ITMO University and how its Master's programs differ from those in other universities.

Everybody Wants a Piece of the Pie: Why Universities Need to Create and Support Innovation
One day – and that day might come very soon – the Earth’s resources will run out, its population will exceed 10 billion and people need to innovate to sustain development. Issues will begin to emerge that can’t be dealt with without innovative solutions. Even today, humanity encounters problems that can’t be solved by conventional methods. Universities become sources of ideas – but how can these ideas be commercialized? How to find investors to support the process of innovation? How do universities retain their scientists and how can scientists get rid of the obstacles on their path to discovery? These were the topics of discussion at an open seminar at ITMO University, given by Professor Manijeh Reyhani – a researcher at the Centre for Entrepreneurial Management and Innovation (CEMI) at the University of Western Australia who has received her PhD in Materials Engineering and a Professional Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in the area of research innovation and commercialization.
