TUSUR is one of the leading engineering universities in Russia, located in Russia and Siberia's intellectual heart – the city of Tomsk. TUSUR is a young university, ambitiously striving for leadership and global presence in education and research. 13 thousand students study at our 13 faculties. Relatively small size allows the university to be mobile and quickly adjust to changes becoming more robust and efficient. TUSUR was one of the first Russian universities to transform the educational process, introducing project-based learning and enhancing research and innovative academic work components. ECTS center established at TUSUR coordinates student exchange and ensures the adequate transfer of credits obtained abroad following standardized international documents. TUSUR was also the first Russian university to start implementing a complex development model that focuses on entrepreneurship and two traditional university missions, i.e., education and research. In the last decade, TUSUR has created a network of innovative companies founded by its alumni. Today this network comprises 125 companies. In 2004 a student business incubator was established at TUSUR, which gave rise to 15 hi-tech start-ups created by university students. TUSUR continuously expands its global presence by implementing projects of international «technology and knowledge transfer bridges.» Today there are several such «bridges,» namely California-Tomsk, Toronto-Tomsk, Nuremberg-Tomsk. They offer new opportunities to enter foreign markets with Tomsk enterprises' end products, commercialize R&D products of TUSUR researchers, and attract foreign investment. TUSUR takes part in large-scale international programs, such as EU-Russia Cooperation Program, INTAS, TEMPUS, DAAD, CRDF – to name just a few. TUSUR researches in partnership with foreign universities. More than 20 universities expressed their intention to pursue long-term cooperation with TUSUR in education, research, and development. German, Dutch, French, Italian, British, Finnish, U.S., Canadian, Chinese, South Korean, Vietnamese, and Israeli research organizations collaborate with TUSUR in various fields. For instance, a partnership with Delft University of Technology (TUDelft, the Netherlands) resulted in creating the Siberian branch of the International Research Centre for Telecommunications-Transmission and Radar (IRCTR-S) at TUSUR in 2002. The mission of TUSUR University as a world-class entrepreneurial research university is to create the cultural, academic, research and innovation environment that would make it the driving force for economic development in Eurasia, promote world-class research, and facilitate the training of highly-skilled professionals for global centers of innovation. The mission relies on progressive values highly regarded by the entire TUSUR community: Spirit of entrepreneurship Shaping society needs through high-technology achievements Adoption and enhancement of the world progressive educational methods International knowledge and technology transfer The corporate culture of excellence The strategic goal is to create a world-class entrepreneurial research university that is a global leader in radio engineering and radio electronics, information, and telecommunication technology, electrical engineering, and power electronics, control, automation and instrumentation technology, physical electronics, and microwave nanoelectronics, which will be achieved through the adoption of best international practices in education, strategic partnerships with the academic and business communities, training of highly competent engineers, allowing TUSUR University to join the ranks of the leading international universities by 2020. The Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics implements a concentrated research model and has firmly positioned itself in fundamental science and knowledge and technology markets. TUSUR has established scientific traditions and world-class research teams. Relying on these advantages, TUSUR makes a significant scientific contribution to the development of the five disciplines mentioned above and steadily increases its impact on each of them. Highly qualified faculty ensures the success of efforts to pursue undertaken priority lines of research, which is why TUSUR makes sure that its faculty and staff comprise both respectable scholars who used to take part in large-scale Soviet radiolocation and rocket and space projects and young researchers joining in today.

It is based on determining the fundamental directions and carrying out the education activity following the research. The ideology led to establishing so-called strategic Academic units (Straus). We have established 4 Straus at TSU. They correspond to the fundamental challenges the humanity faces today on a global scale". The Rector pointed out that humanity will go through significant transformations shortly. These transformations will be connected with changes in the quality of life – quality of the environment, the humans, the society, and the technologies. The units are the Institute of Biomedicine Institute of Smart Materials and Technology, Siberian Institute of Future (TSSW), and Institute of the Human of the Digital Era. He emphasized: "Global economy is going through drastic changes now. It was observed at the recent Forum in Davos where major trends of the fourth industrial revolution were discussed. A new type of economy focuses on quality of life. That is why our strategic units will deal with four key spheres of changing: the human, the society, physical reality, and the environment".
