NUST MISIS Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Andrey Voronin and Gao Xiukun, Director of Secondary School No. 1 of the Ordos Urban District (PRC), have signed an agreement to establish a preparatory center in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The event marks a new chapter in training highly qualified professionals for one of China’s key industrial regions and strengthens academic cooperation between the two countries.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have introduced a gel based on the enzyme dextranase that can effectively combat dental plaque and help prevent tooth decay. In the future, the development could improve the formulation of toothpastes and serve as a foundation for new preventive dental care products.
The final stage of the StudRussia competition, one of the key projects bringing together talented international students studying at Russian universities, was held at University of Science and Technology MISIS. The event gathered 112 participants from 76 universities across Russia, representing 22 countries. The Grand Prix and the Best International Student title were awarded to two students. In the Russian-language track, the winner was Darya Gosteva (Kazakhstan), representing St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design. In the English-language track, the winner was Gazal Rana (India), a student of Petrozavodsk State University.
