St. Petersburg is happy to be the home of the unique «optical-computer science» University. Such a combination of popular sciences draws a lot of attention both from our international partners and many domestic companies to the University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics. Moreover, during turbulent year of reforms in our country, the unique knowledge base and competence helpe...d our university to continue and develop academic and research activities.
One hundred years of tireless work of several generations of professors, lecturers and staff have brought our university a well-deserved success. We grew from a skill/vocational school that opened in 1900 into the Leningrad Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics (LITMO) (1933), progressing to the University status we received in 1994, and last but not the least in 2011 we were named St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics.
We appreciate individuality, and try to see the unique traits in every person and help them grow and learn through providing opportunities for personal development and fulfilling their potential. We are honest to ourselves, our work, the University, our colleagues and the students. The reputation of the University and its values are more important than personal gain.
We have the freedom to exchange information, to choose, to implement our own ideas and personal
plans while being aware and responsible of the consequences of our actions. We are open to new ideas and people; we welcome change and are open for dialogue and collaboration. We love what we do, we want to and are ready to change the world around us for the better.
We"re more than a university. Our team is crucial to us as it sets the pace, reaches the goals, makes life at the university exciting and proves with actions that the first non-classical university is not just a slogan but a concept that helps us completely transform inside and out. Our team is always on the move. Constantly on the lookout for new ideas and projects. Movement is life! That"s why the symbol of ITMO is a bicycle. It"s environmentally friendly and it embodies mobility, dynamics, freedom and drive! We"re proud of the special creative environment at the university that helps foster new and unique ideas.
We understand our core business is the business of knowledge and learning, but of equal importance is our mission to provide competitive advantage and development for Russian economy and social sphere on the basis of our entrepreneurial approach to scientific, educational and innovation activities in information and optics technologies. Our university, being among the most important research universities in Russia, is an indespensable component of Russian innovation economy. We nurture both a culture of new venture creation and an infrastructure that will support many new ventures. The most important objective of the innovation ecosystem at University ITMO is achieving a high level of entrepreneurial culture and availability of a favorable environment for the implementation of entrepreneurial skills of students and university staff.
You may think that a University in St. Petersburg is classical like the Russian ballet. We love the ballet, as well as the museums and other cultural treasures of our city, but we love Game of Thrones too. During the finals, it’s an epic tale of ice vs. fire around here. On a serious note, ITMO University is committed to recruiting top international students and scholars and offering a world-class academic and research experience.
