ISAC Members Deliver Public Lectures

At NUST MISIS from March 2-6, 2015 leading scientists from world-renowned universities such as Cambridge, Stanford, and Technion will give public lectures on the latest developments in the world of science in the fields of Materials Science, Metallurgy, Mining, and Biomedicine.

The visit will be held within the framework of the Third International Scientific Advisory Council Session of the University, which promotes cooperation between NUST MISIS and the global educational and research centers and the international competitiveness of the university in accordance with the competitiveness russian academic excellence project “5-100”. The upcoming meeting will be attended by all members of the Council. They will listen to the presentation of directors of colleges and heads of departments, as well as take part in meetings with groups of institutions and departments and get familiar with the institutions and university departments, centers, and laboratories.
