The list of participants in the main track was approved by the Council for the Support of Universities Development Programs – Participants of “Priority 2030”, chaired by the Minister of Education and Science Valery Falkov.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized that the updated architecture of the Priority 2030 program evaluates the target model of the university and its focus on achieving technological leadership by our country. Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized this in his Address to the Federal Assembly.
“Since this year, the updated Priority 2030 program has been implemented within the framework of the Youth and Children national project. It encourages universities to set ambitious goals and restructure internal processes. An important result is the strengthening of the connection between universities and the real sector of the economy. Since the launch of the program in 2021, the amount of funds invested in the development programs of participating universities by technology partners has doubled – up to 61 billion rubles last year. At the same time, the number of technology partners has also increased – there are already almost 12.5 thousand of them,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
A distinctive feature of the current council was the new view of universities on their development programs – the focus of the universities was on specific projects for interaction with industry, emphasized the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov.
“This is a serious challenge and an important stage for most universities. Each participant presented a specific technology project, through which we assessed all the work, the entire concept of the university for its development strategy. It is especially pleasant to note that heads of regions and representatives of federal ministries came to support their universities. At the defense in each team of participating universities there were top managers, heads of large companies – partners of the universities. All this speaks to the growing role of the program itself and universities in the country’s economy,” said Valery Falkov.
An expert group of researchers representing various subject areas was formed to evaluate strategic technology projects and monitor their implementation. They assessed how ambitious, realistic and resourced the projects submitted by universities were.
Based on the results of the selection, the first group included 11 universities, each of which will receive about 1 billion rubles. The second group included 21 universities, each of which will receive 460 million rubles. The third group included 68 universities – each of them will receive up to 100 million rubles. Subsidy funds can be used to build a system of incentive payments for faculty, develop university infrastructure, purchase high-tech equipment, attract world-class researchers to universities, and organize scientific events.
The total amount of funds that will be distributed among 100 universities will be 27.8 billion rubles. It is important that about 70% of recipients of subsidies under the Priority program are regional universities.
22 universities have received candidate status in the main track of the Priority and will implement their programs independently using their own funds and attracted financing. During this period, the university has the opportunity to apply for a grant. Financing is provided subject to the successful implementation of the development program and a positive assessment by the collegial bodies of the Priority-2030 program.
The approved list of participants and candidates for the 2025 program can be found atlink.
Let us remind you that in addition to the main track, “Priority” includes a creative track (based on it, 5 universities of the Ministry of Culture were selected) and Far Eastern (It included 14 universities of the Far Eastern Federal District). Thus, 119 universities will receive support under the program this year.
Priority 2030 is the largest state university support program in the modern history of Russia, successfully implemented since 2021. Its goal is to concentrate resources to ensure the contribution of Russian universities to the achievement of the national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030, to increase the scientific and educational potential of universities and research organizations, and to ensure the participation of higher education institutions in the socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
This year, the Priority 2030 program is focused on achieving technological leadership as one of Russia’s national development goals. Each participating university included in its development program up to three strategic technological projects planned for implementation by 2030 and for the long term up to 2036.
Thanks to the strengthening of ties with the real sector of the economy in 2021–2024, the number of scientific and technological projects implemented by Priority participants more than doubled – from 3.2 thousand to 7.1 thousand.
An important achievement of the program is the influx of applicants to participating universities, most of which are located in the regions. Today, they have 200 thousand more students than in 2021.
