Universities participating in the second wave of the Advanced Engineering Schools project reported on the work done over the year. All 20 schools created at the end of 2023 remained in the project. Based on the results of their defenses, they will receive funding from the federal budget in the amount of more than 4 billion rubles.
“Advanced engineering schools, in close cooperation with partner companies, make an important contribution to the training of highly qualified engineering personnel and the creation of developments to achieve technological leadership – the national goal set by President Vladimir Putin. In our country, the development of advanced engineering schools is carried out within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children”. In total, there are currently 50 advanced engineering schools in 23 regions. By 2030, on the instructions of the head of state, their number should be increased to 100. Based on the results of the defenses, 20 Russian universities, on the basis of which advanced engineering schools were opened, will receive more than 4 billion rubles in 2025,” said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted that the project “Advanced Engineering Schools” found a great response from representatives of the real sector of the economy.
“If at the start of the implementation of our flagship project, the schools had about 80 industrial partners, now their number has increased by 3.5 times – now there are more than 280. Among the partners of advanced schools in different regions of the country are such large companies as, for example, Rosatom, Roscosmos, Rostec, Sibur Holding, Gazprom Neft. It is important that business does not just finance the development programs of advanced engineering schools, it participates in the development of educational programs, organizes internships for students, sends specialists as mentors to universities and facilitates the employment of students,” the minister emphasized.
In 2024, leading engineering schools managed to attract 1.2 rubles from extra-budgetary sources for every budget ruble. This year, schools plan to raise the bar.
The reports on the implementation of the development programs of the PIS are assessed by the Council for the Review of Issues and Coordination of Activities of Advanced Engineering Schools according to a number of criteria, including the ambitiousness of the goals and the results of their implementation (including compliance with the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia), work with high-tech companies and the amount of funds that enterprises have invested in the school.
Participants of the Advanced Engineering Schools project of the second selection wave are divided into three groups. Thus, schools from the first group have been allocated 311.8 million rubles for 2025. Participants of the second group – 210.1 million rubles. The third group – 88.1 million rubles.
The first group consists of:
— National Research University “Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology”,
— Almetyevsk State Technological University “Higher School of Oil”,
— Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev – KAI,
— MIREA – Russian Technological University,
— Rybinsk State Aviation Technical University named after P.A.Soloviev.
Composition of the second group:

The first wave (30 PISs created in 2022) will report on their activities in April and continue to operate using funds from industrial partners.
The Advanced Engineering Schools project was developed by the Ministry of Education and Science as one of 42 strategic initiatives approved by the Government and was part of the state program “Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation”. As part of the implementation of the Decree of the President of Russia dated May 7, 2024 No. 309 “On the national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 and for the future up to 2036”, since 2025 the continuity of the activities of the PISH project was ensured by including them in the federal project “Universities for the Generation of Leaders” of the national project “Youth and Children”.
The goal of the project is to train highly qualified engineering personnel capable of ensuring the country’s achievement of technological sovereignty.
In 2024, 6,000 people studied in 50 advanced engineering schools, more than 1,500 students completed practical training and internships, more than 13,500 engineers and more than 14,000 teachers improved their qualifications. More than 1,200 new educational programs for advanced training of engineering personnel were developed, more than 400 special educational spaces equipped with modern equipment were created. 81 thousand schoolchildren took part in the activities of the PISH.
