A delegation from the Republic of Namibia, led by the Minister of Higher Education, Training and Innovation, Itah Kandji-Murangi, visited the University on an official trip. Guests and representatives of NUST MISIS discussed promising areas of collaboration and educational initiatives aimed at attracting African students.
RAEX Rating Agency presented a pilot version of the list of the best universities from BRICS countries. NUST MISIS ranked 13th in Russia and 47th among 600 universities from ten member states: Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran, China, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and South Africa. The final ranking included 161 universities from Russia.
Researchers from NUST MISIS, Henan Academy of Sciences, and China University of Mining and Technology are developing coatings that can increase the service life of heat-loaded components in the energy and mechanical engineering industries by several times. The core of these coatings consists of zirconium and molybdenum borides and silicides, which are highly resistant to oxidation. A layer of borosilicate glass applied to the surface creates a self-healing effect, sealing defects and cracks.
The first full-format battery based on hybrid perovskites made entirely from domestic materials and ready for production was shown at NUST MISIS. This next-generation solar panel is cheaper in terms of production costs, with a manufacturing cycle of 8 to 10 hours. It can be installed in private homes or on industrial sites, particularly those prioritizing “green” initiatives. The panel’s design, which connects multiple sub-cells, allows for high-power generation even in shaded and cloudy conditions. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for harnessing solar energy, even in the Arctic and Far North.
For the seventh time, Russia is hosting Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project, co-organized by NUST MISIS. As before, students from around the world can apply early and continue their education for free at the master’s or doctoral levels, and this year, also at the bachelor’s level at one of Russia’s and the world’s leading universities. This year’s new addition is the postdoctoral track, which allows young researchers to secure a research position in a scientific project.
Meeting of the BRICS Science, Technology and Innovation Funding Working Group took place at MISIS University. The event focused on the results of the 6th BRICS STI Framework Programme and the mechanisms for supporting various projects. The meeting was organized with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, NUST MISIS, the Russian Center for Scientific Information, and the International Center for Innovations in Science, Technology and Education (ICISTE).
A delegation from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development and Design Centre (JNARDDC) visited NUST MISIS to discuss prospects for collaboration in the fields of mining and electrometallurgy. The guests were introduced to the University’s advanced developments and laboratory infrastructure. Both parties expressed interest in joint research projects.
Students from MISIS University have presented a prototype of an improved home robotic vacuum, which, unlike existing models, is more effective at cleaning hard-to-reach places. To achieve this, the device is equipped with a suction mechanism that spans the entire width of the body and an automatic wet cleaning cloth replacement feature.
A delegation from Wuhan Vocational College of Software and Engineering (China) visited MISIS University. Colleagues discussed the prospects of joint bachelor’s degree programs, winter school and internships.
On the sidelines of the International Entrepreneurship Conference in Liaoning Province, representatives from NUST MISIS and Shenyang University of Chemical Technology (SYUCT) discussed academic exchanges and internship opportunities for students and faculty. They also agreed to launch joint master’s and postgraduate programs.
On the Day of Knowledge, MISIS University launched an “Immersion” adaptation program aimed at developing universal competencies and leadership qualities among first-year students. Within three months, training, lectures, and master classes in science, technology, entrepreneurship, careers, sports, and other areas will be held. Speakers include leading scientists, business representatives, cultural figures, and opinion leaders. More than 3,000 first-year students from all branches of MISIS University participate every year in the program.
A delegation from Pakistan has recently visited NUST MISIS to explore promising areas of collaboration. The two parties have identified common goals and scientific interests in the fields of new materials, additive manufacturing, quantum engineering, and biomedical engineering. Additionally, they have agreed to cooperate on educational programs and internship opportunities.
At the collective stand of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation during the exhibition of the BRICS Forum of Creative Territories and Manufacturers of High-Tech Industrial Products in Nizhny Novgorod, MISIS University staff showcased the “tissue gun”. More than 50 companies also demonstrated their developments at the exhibition. The event took place as part of the 8th meeting of the BRICS Industry Ministers’ Meeting, attended by officials from Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran, China, the UAE, Ethiopia, and South Africa.
At NUST MISIS, a multi-component alloy has been developed that boasts high strength, corrosion resistance, and casting properties, making it promising for use in extreme temperature conditions, aerospace and automotive industries, as well as construction engineering. Researchers have combined the advantages of various groups of aluminum alloys into one material.
Students of MISIS University participated in the international student summer school at the Harbin University of Technology, focusing on the areas of “Artificial Intelligence” and “Using Artificial Intelligence in Enterprise Management”. The students spent two weeks in Harbin learning how to analyze models for 3D reconstruction of objects from images.
