  3. Skoltech at a Glance • A unique Russian institution in an international context • 200 faculty, 300 post-docs, 1200 graduate students by the end of the decade • Polarized around science, engineering and technology • Addressing problems and issues in IT, Energy, Biomedicine, Space and Nuclear • With strong programs in support of innovation and entrepreneurship • On a new campus, to be build in Skolkovo • An important part of the Skolkovoinnovation ecosystem

  4. Mission – Accelerating Innovation • To have educational, scholarly and economic impact in the Russian Federation and around the world, • By educating leading graduate students and conducting research programs to address key challenges in science, technology, engineering and innovation • Using a fusion of exceptional talent, and building the university to be an integral part of the Skolkovo innovation ecosystem

  5. High Priority Research Investments IT: Machine learning and AI Advanced computing systems Big Data Electronics materials and device Quantum physics/technology Space: Supporting humans in long term space exploration Small satellites Utilization of space data Cross-cutting: Advanced materials Computational and data-intensive science & engineering Human engineering and cognition • Biomedicine: • Computational and systems biology • Immunology and infectious disease • Gene- and nano-medicine • Regenerative medicine • Energy: • Hydrocarbon fuel production and transportation • Hydrocarbon processing • Electrical power systems generation and distribution • Electrical energy storage • Nuclear: • Nuclear energy safety • Materials for extreme environments • Non-energy applications * Topics in italics are under negotiations

  6. Research With a Consideration of Innovation Goal: Discover new ideas and develop new technologies that address the pressing needs of members of society and society as a whole, and which build upon fundamental science and technology, yet are guided by a consideration of innovation Strategy: Create at least 15 Centers for Research, Innovation and Education (CREI): • International collaborative efforts partnering Skoltech with both international and Russian institutes (Universities and RAS) • Concentrated excellence in one of the 5 strategic themes, solving real problems in IT, Energy, Biomedicine, Space and Nuclear • Build capacity at Skoltech and attract top talent • Integrate education and accelerate innovation Each center fundedat 6-12 MUSD/year

  7. Center for Research, Education and Innovation- CREI • During build up • Create fully operational Skoltechpart of CREI including people, facilities, education and research programs. • Connect the Russian scientific and industrial landscape with the leading international researchers in their fields. • At steady state • Create transformational new science and technology as part of international research collaboration. • Provide an initial base for and connections with Skoltech’sentrepreneurship and innovation activities. • Integrate and contribute to graduate education at Skoltech through development of educational curricula, material, and approaches.
