This academic year, 445 educational programs, including 89 new ones, have been prepared for students by advanced engineering schools (AES) with the direct participation of technology partners. These partners include PJSC Tatneft named after V.D. Shashin, Rosatom State Corporation, PJSC Sberbank, JSC UEC, Roscosmos State Corporation, JSC UZGA, and LLC Sibur.
By order of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the number of advanced engineering schools should be increased to 100 by 2030. A competition will determine which university will open a PRI School, with one of the fundamental requirements being the university's availability of industrial partners willing to invest in the project at the outset.
Currently, there are 50 advanced engineering schools operating at leading Russian universities. More than 350 companies serve as industrial partners.
"At the direction of President Vladimir Putin, advanced engineering schools are operating in Russia as part of the 'Youth and Children' national project. Their mission is to train top-notch engineering professionals and develop solutions that will ensure our country's technological leadership. The PISHs actively collaborate with partners. Over the course of the program, industrial partners have invested approximately 40 billion rubles, and regional authorities have invested over 2.5 billion rubles, in the development of these schools. Collaboration with businesses helps the PISHs teach students practical skills and produce sought-after specialists," said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
From 2022 to 2025, nearly 34 billion rubles were allocated from the federal budget to advanced engineering schools.
Minister of Education and Science Valery Falkov noted that thanks to the well-established ties between universities and businesses, they are able to create unique, modern programs that attract large numbers of students. According to 2024 data, approximately 58,000 students applied for the 6,000 available places in engineering schools.
"It's important that businesses not only finance programs to develop advanced engineering schools, but also participate in the development of educational programs that meet the needs of the real economy, provide internships and placements, and facilitate graduate employment. More than 3,000 of our engineering school graduates are already working at high-tech companies," the minister emphasized.
It should be noted that 89 new educational programs have been created in the following areas: "Informatics and Computer Engineering," "Electronics, Radio Engineering, and Communication Systems," "Mechanical Engineering," "Aviation and Rocket-Space Engineering," and "Control in Technical Systems."
To become a member of a leading engineering school's team at their university, students must complete tests established by the school itself based on the specifics of their educational program. Most programs are designed for senior students in engineering majors. Details about each leading engineering school can be found on the project's website: HTTPS: //enginers2030.ru/.
