The universities of the 5-100 Programme were proposed with a new ideology of development. It is based on determining the key directions and carrying out the education activity in accordance with the research. The ideology led to establishing so called strategic Academic units (StrAUs).
We have established 4 StrAUs at TSU. They correspond to the basic challenges the humanity faces today on global scale”.
The Rector pointed out, that the humanity will go through great transformations in the near future. These transformations will be connected with changes in the quality of life – quality of the environment, the humans, the society, and the technologies. The units are: Institute of Biomedicine; Institute of Smart Materials and Technology; Siberian Institute of Future (TSSW); and Institute of the Human of the Digital Era. He emphasized: "Global economy is going through drastic changes now. It was observed at the recent Forum in Davos where major trends of the fourth industrial revolution were discussed. New type of economy focuses on quality of life. That is why our strategic units will deal with four key spheres of changing: the human, the society, physical reality, and the environment”.
The University has been not only an educational centre but a centre for the dissemination of culture and progressive ideas in society, where students can express themselves through different cultural and public activities, clubs, and volunteer movements.
TSU is one of the first Russian higher education institutions that chose the path of innovative activity. TSU’s opportunities in scientific and educational spheres attract partners from all over the globe. The University is firmly integrated into the global educational environment through the implementation of joint training and research programmes with leading universities and research centres in the world, because of the implementation of projects in the most prestigious grants from the largest funds and participation in TEMPUS TACIS international programmes (17 projects), etc.
Tomsk State University is based on a solid foundation of mutual penetration of the scientific and educational process, created during the years of its operation. The unique advantage of the university is the harmonious development of the whole range of humanitarian, physical, mathematical and natural sciences, which allows for expanding interdisciplinary research and the seeking of synergies in solving the most complex of theoretical and applied problems of modern economic and public life.
