Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (NRU MGSU). He also participated in the 3rd International Scientific and Practical Symposium "The Future of the Construction Industry: Challenges and Development Prospects – 2025" and toured the university's exhibition displays.
"MGSU faces the strategic goal of increasing labor productivity and training and retraining personnel who will be able to make a significant contribution to the implementation of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life' and the development of the entire country. MGSU is a flagship in professional training, so it is imperative that all specialized educational institutions in the country, including branches in the reunified regions, be aligned and develop within a unified framework within the framework of the tasks facing the country. These include the modernization of the housing and utilities sector, so I believe it is crucial to specifically develop this area of the educational process. Furthermore, at the President's direction, we are creating a large campus at MGSU. This will be an excellent platform for student internships. It will become a fully-fledged, world-class educational cluster. I thank the Minister of Science and Higher Education, Valery Nikolaevich Falkov, MGSU Rector, Pavel Alekseevich Akimov, and all members of the Board of Trustees for their joint work," said Marat Khusnullin.
Minister of Education and Science Valery Falkov noted that MGSU is becoming increasingly attractive to applicants year after year. Specifically, 5,447 students were admitted to the university during this year's admissions campaign, and the average Unified State Exam (USE) score among those admitted on state-funded scholarships has also increased.
"Much is being done to promote construction professions. At the same time, it should be noted that the university is demonstrating growth in the volume of research and development work completed in the technical services sector. Last year, work completed amounted to almost 2 billion rubles," said Valery Falkov.
The merger of two key specialized universities in the Donetsk People's Republic – the Azov State Technical University and the Donbas National Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture – with MGSU as new branches was also successfully completed.
According to Pavel Akimov, Rector of NRU MGSU, participation in the Priority 2030 program has become a key factor in the university's development in recent years. "The NRU MGSU Development Program for 2025–2036 presents an updated model for the university's development with an emphasis on achieving technological leadership. The strategic goal of the university's development is the integration of key areas of educational, scientific, innovation, campus, and human resources policies," said Pavel Akimov.
Furthermore, as part of the scientific and practical symposium, the Deputy Prime Minister participated in the plenary session "Technological Leadership in the Construction Industry." Particular attention was paid to the implementation of the new national project "Infrastructure for Life," which comprehensively integrates housing construction, road construction, utilities, transport infrastructure, and public amenities.
"With the President's systematic support, the Government team, working with all regions of the country, is comprehensively building housing, roads, and all infrastructure. Thanks to this, even in the current conditions, we are seeing significant growth. For example, the construction industry has grown by a total of 33% over the past five years. And in the first eight months of this year, we are seeing a 4% increase. Housing remains our primary driver. We are consistently delivering over 100 million square meters of housing per year. We are also focusing on transport accessibility, building roads to ensure convenient access everywhere. One of the key objectives is to improve quality of life by 30% in 2,160 key communities. Overall, the implementation of this national project affects every resident of our country," noted Marat Khusnullin.
As part of the symposium, Marat Khusnullin attended an exhibition of construction technologies and innovations aimed at increasing labor productivity in the industry. The exhibition featured environmentally friendly and highly efficient building materials, project management software, construction robotics, modern utilities technologies, and energy-saving and environmental impact reduction solutions.
