[EduCativ]

Kazan National Research Technological University is one of the oldest universities in Kazan. Its history dates back to 1890, when the Ministry of Public Education of the Russian Empire enacted the resolution to establish the Integrated Industrial and Technical College. In 1919 it was transformed into Kazan Polytechnic Institute. It was 1930 when its chemical faculty and the chemical faculty of Kazan State University formed the basis for Kazan Chemical Technological Institute. The institute's rapid development resulted in its obtaining university status in 1992 when its official name changed to Kazan State Technological University. Versatile activities and success in various priority areas made Kazan State Technological University one of the Russian centers in engineering education, research, and innovations. Another milestone in our University's history is the year 2010 when our University obtained the status of a National Research University and was renamed Kazan National Research Technological University (KNRTU) in 2011. Today University is the largest Russian center of higher education in technology. KNRTU offers over 150 training areas in Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programs.

Today Kazan National Research Technological University unites activities in education, research, and innovations. The University comprises 16 academic and research institutes, enrolls over 26 thousand undergraduate and graduate students from the Russian Federation and CIS countries, 900 Ph.D. and 100 Post-Doc students from Russia and other countries, employs over 300 Full Professors, Doctors of Science and over 1100 Associate Professors and Ph. Ds. Kazan National Research Technological University international partnership network comprises 136 universities and research organizations from 37 countries in Europe, America, Asia, and Africa. The University is one of the 8 Russian Universities, Eurasia Pacific University Network (UNIT). Research at Kazan National Research Technological University is based on long-lasting traditions of excellence in chemistry and technology Kazan and Russia have been proud of the last two centuries. Five research priorities are corresponding to strategic areas of economic development in the Russian Federation. These priorities are:

• Chemistry and technology of polymer and composite materials
• Chemistry and technology of high energy materials
• Integrated processing of hydrocarbon resources
• Nanotechnology, Nanomaterials
• Energy and resource-saving technologies for advanced materials

The leading University in petroleum gas chemical complex and light industry complex educational clusters of the region, Kazan National Research Technological University integrates education and innovations in these fields in the Republic of Tatarstan. Applied research results are implemented and further commercialized at the University pilot plants, business incubators, innovational testing grounds, and technology transfer centers. Active contribution of Kazan National Research Technological University to the development of innovative infrastructure in the Republic of Tatarstan resulted in granting funding for construction of the Industrial Innovation & Commercialization Park "Himgrad" created for chemical and petrochemical purposes. According to The Ministry of education and science of Russia, KNRTU is number 10 in the country's rating among 159 technical universities. In the rating, which was compiled by order of The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia - KNRTU is number 31-32 among 405 universities of CIS, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. According to the educational activity indicator in this rating, KNRTU is in TOP-50 and TOP-30 by research activity. KNRTU is number 24 among the universities of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.

KNRTU is the only University in Tatarstan, which signed the Memorandum of Cooperation with Skolkovo Innovation Centre in 2010. This opens new prospects for innovation development of KNRTU and the Republic of Tatarstan. Kazan National Research Technological University has received the State Prize of Russia and Tatarstan several times to advance science and engineering. The leader in Russia's chemical engineering education, Kazan National Research Technological University is the primary center for the development of Bachelor's and Master's Degree programs in "Chemical Engineering" in the Russian Federation.

The mission of Kazan National Research Technological University is to advance the innovative development of the chemical industry in Russia through the synergy of scientific research, industrial progress, and lifelong education in chemical engineering and energy-intensive materials. Kazan National Research Technological University aspires to become:
