The grand opening of the building of continuous auditoriums of Novosibirsk State University (NSU) took place in Novosibirsk. It is one of the objects of the second stage of the modern campus, which is being built within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children". The opening ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Zhukov, Governor of Novosibirsk Region Andrey Travnikov and Rector of NSU, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.

"Today we have a big celebration: we are opening a new academic building, which can accommodate about 1,700 students at a time. The largest auditorium is for 400 people. We want student and scientific life to begin here as soon as possible. Many thanks to the builders, the leadership of the Novosibirsk Region and NSU, who tried so hard to ensure that you have such wonderful conditions. Last year, Prime Minister Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin opened new buildings here. The university campus, which is being created on the instructions of our President Vladimir Putin, is truly an educational and scientific pearl of our country," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Governor Andrey Travnikov congratulated NSU students and teachers on the upcoming Knowledge Day and the opening of new university facilities: "You are participants in an amazing historical period. This is a new page in the history of Novosibirsk State Research University. The start was given in March 2021. During the visit of the Prime Minister of our country Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin, he listened to our reports, our proposals for the further strategy for the development of the university, became interested, supported and approved. And this is not just the construction of new buildings – this is a new mission, a new position of the university in Akademgorodok and, in general, on the scientific and educational map of our country."

Addressing the students, Alexander Zhukov emphasized that they were lucky to study at the university at a time when something new appears there every year: “Novosibirsk State University is becoming a world-class campus. This building, where you will study, with flow-through classrooms, is made using the latest modern construction technology. Very comfortable classrooms, bright, wonderful. I wish you to study well, enjoy yourself, and graduate with excellent marks, and then find a good job for yourself, well, and today is a holiday, so I want to congratulate you all once again.”

Mikhail Fedoruk, congratulating the students on the opening of the new building, emphasized:

"This year, students from 64 regions of Russia have enrolled. Thank you for choosing our university from among many Russian universities to study at, and I am sure you will not regret it! This wonderful building was built as part of the "Creation of a Network of Modern Campuses" project of the national project "Youth and Children". Like other world-class campus facilities at NSU, it will open up completely new opportunities in the field of educational, scientific and project activities! Dear students, I wish you happiness, health and, of course, successful studies at the university."

The building with continuous classrooms is the largest of the three objects of the second stage of the new NSU campus. The area of the building is more than 15 thousand square meters. It was put into operation in December 2024. It houses four continuous classrooms, as well as a scientific library, which houses almost 1 million books, a student project center, coworking spaces, and a conference hall. Original architectural solutions were used in the design of the building: a glass atrium is installed on the building, which allows for increased natural lighting in the spaces and gives the building a unique look. In addition, the building has an overground passage with stained glass glazing for convenient movement of students and teachers. It connects the building with continuous classrooms with the current NSU academic building.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also congratulated the first-year students of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of NSU in 2025, who will begin their studies in the new building on September 1. Together with Alexander Zhukov, Andrey Travnikov and Mikhail Fedoruk, the Deputy Prime Minister presented student cards to the students – winners and prize winners of the Olympiads, who entered the university without entrance examinations.

"Many of you have long known that you would become students, thanks to your victories at the Olympiads. Those who entered without exams are now receiving yet another confirmation of their merits and their work. But, in fact, you are just starting your journey in an interesting and promising place. The geography also speaks for itself: guys from all over the country have come here, who entered without exams thanks to their outstanding abilities. And now the most exciting and thrilling stage of your life begins. You will not only acquire new knowledge, but, most importantly, you will find new friends. And someone may even meet their soulmate. Do not forget about life outside of science, create families, fall in love, live a full life. Now it may seem distant, but believe me, this is the most interesting period, you will understand this later. Bon voyage!" Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized.

In total, this year, more than 2 thousand budget places have been established in higher education programs of all levels at NSU. According to the interim results of the admissions campaign, more than 14.8 thousand applicants submitted over 36.7 applications to all levels of higher education. The top 5 areas of training by the number of budget places are: Computer Science and Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics and Mechanics, Geology, Mathematics and Computer Science.

In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister assessed the breakthrough technologies and developments of NSU innovation centers. Among them are video analytics detectors, developments in the field of technical rehabilitation equipment – a 3D-printed foot prosthesis and composite foot prostheses, a "digital core" project – an innovative tool for increasing the efficiency of extracting hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves, the development, assembly and ground testing of orbital equipment based on its own modular satellite platform of the CubeSat format, and more. These developments are carried out in cooperation with industrial partners, including leading Russian companies, leaders in their industries, such as Rostelecom, Rostec, Roscosmos, Sber and others.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also assessed the infrastructure of the specialized educational and scientific center of NSU: last year, the grand opening of a new educational building and leisure center took place.

A delegation of businessmen from the Republic of Tajikistan, representing the financial and insurance sectors, visited the new campus of NSU, which is being built within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children". During the visit, a meeting was held with the management Faculty of Economics to discuss the development of cooperation with the Central Asian republic.

The businessmen appreciated the high level of infrastructure being created on the university campus. The delegation attended lectures in large auditoriums and were impressed by the scale and high level of organization of the educational process.

— This is not just a modern building — it is a real world-class scientific center. I was particularly impressed by the high quality of the infrastructure, comfortable classrooms and an atmosphere conducive to learning and scientific activity. Such campuses create not just an educational environment, but a space for the formation of future leaders of science and technology, — emphasized Ayubjon Nasirov, founder and current head of the insurance organization Eskhata Sugurta.

During the meeting with the leadership of the Faculty of Economics, cooperation between universities of Tajikistan and NSU was discussed in several key areas:

· Training and retraining of personnel in technical and economic specialties.

· Joint scientific research, in particular in the field of information technology, digital transformation of business and medicine.

· Internships and student exchanges, which are especially important for practical training and international experience.

— We would like to pay special attention to the development of the Olympiad movement and work with gifted children. We are very interested in the Physics and Mathematics School (SUNC NSU), which has been successfully working with talented schoolchildren for many years. Many of our schoolchildren — winners of republican Olympiads — studied and successfully graduated from your university. It is important not only to preserve this tradition, but also to develop it, expanding the access of talented youth of Tajikistan to your educational programs, — explained Ayubjon Nasirov.

Thus, the deputy dean of the economics department of NSU Naimdzhon Ibragimov at one time got to the university through the PhMS. In 1981, he won the republican Olympiad in mathematics in Tajikistan, after which he was offered to enroll in the summer school at the PhMS. In 1983, he graduated from the physics and mathematics school and entered the EF NSU.

As noted by businessmen, NSU is distinguished by a high level of academic and scientific training, powerful infrastructure, as well as deep integration of science, education and innovation. Also, the trend of recent years is the strengthening of cooperation between the university and companies and enterprises from various industries.

— In Tajikistan, we are also actively developing the higher education system, but here, at NSU, we saw an example of how a university can become a center for technological and economic development in a region. We were especially impressed by the close connection between the university and business, which allows us to quickly adapt educational programs to the needs of the labor market and ensure that graduates are in demand, — added Ayubjon Nasirov.
