Until 1 November 2026, young foreign nationals and stateless persons, including compatriots living abroad, who wish to study or conduct research at Russian universities can register for the International Open Doors Olympiad.
In an interview with NUST MISIS, Soheil Seif from Iran, a winner of the Open Doors International Olympiad, shares his journey to studying in Russia. He talks about his academic background, how he prepared for the competition, and the opportunities it opened up for his research career. Soheil also explains why he chose NUST MISIS, describes his first impressions of Moscow, and offers advice to students considering taking part in the Olympiad.
Scientists at NUST MISIS have developed a system that will make it possible to inspect industrial equipment at oil refineries without interrupting production. The system is based on muography, a non-invasive method for determining the internal structure of objects by measuring the attenuation of a natural muon flux using detectors.
A formal ceremony marking the start of studies for Chinese students enrolled in the joint Master’s program in Materials Science and Technology offered by NUST MISIS and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) took place at UESTC in Chengdu.
Scientists at NUST MISIS have patented special granules designed to repair damaged bone tissue. The material is based on a compound whose composition is similar to the mineral component of bone. By incorporating strontium and silver ions, the new material promotes integration with surrounding tissues and exhibits antibacterial activity. The granule production technology also makes it possible to control the rate at which the material gradually dissolves in the body.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have presented a mathematical method that makes it possible to assess in advance how reliably artificial intelligence can use knowledge acquired while solving one task to perform another. The development is based on a new theorem that makes it possible to formally prove under which conditions knowledge transfer between machine learning models will be reliable.
Representatives of NUST MISIS visited leading Chinese universities as part of efforts to develop educational and research cooperation, with student academic mobility remaining a key focus. The delegation included Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Andrey Voronin and Olga Kim, Adviser of the Rectorate for International Affairs. They visited Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology (IMUST) in Baotou, Peking University and the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB).
Scientists at NUST MISIS have developed an aluminum-based metal powder that is five times more ductile than existing alternatives while matching them in strength. Products made from the alloy retain their properties when heated to 300°C, making the material a promising solution for the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries
The University of Science and Technology MISIS hosted a working meeting between representatives of Rosatom and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). The parties agreed to develop a roadmap to identify new areas for bilateral scientific and technological cooperation in quantum technologies.
Scientists at MISIS University have investigated how bone implants made from biodegradable composite materials behave after implantation. To do so, they studied the properties of 3D-printed polylactide-based materials containing different fillers under conditions designed to mimic the human body.
A delegation from Samarkand State Medical University (Uzbekistan), led by Rector Jasur Rizaev, visited NUST MISIS. Following the meeting, the heads of the two universities signed a memorandum of understanding to implement joint research and educational projects.

A seminar on industrial and educational cooperation was held at NUST MISIS ahead of the third Russia—Africa Summit, bringing together a delegation from the Republic of Ghana, representatives of Russian government agencies, and the university’s industrial partners. The event was attended by representatives of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Economic Development, Unigreen Energy and KompleksProm JSC, as well as the leadership of Jospong Group, one of Africa’s largest conglomerates.
NUST MISIS has renewed its memorandum of understanding with two Chandigarh University campuses — in the states of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, India. The new agreements expand opportunities for academic mobility, joint educational initiatives, and collaboration between academic and research teams.
To mark the 15th anniversary of the NUST MISIS Endowment Fund, Gazprombank has contributed RUB 30 million to support the University’s projects. The contribution is significant not only for its size, but also for the new approach to using the University endowment. The parties are rethinking the role of the endowment, transforming it from a reserve into an active mechanism for financing applied research and technology development. This makes it possible to redirect funds toward projects with high market potential.
At NUST MISIS, researchers have developed a prototype of a sustained-release hydrogel for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The technology could improve treatment efficacy and reduce the risk of side effects.
