The University has always been on the front lines of advances in research and technology, resolving important economic, social and political issues, contributing to Russian higher education's glory, and is still there now. In 2006 we won the first-ever contest of innovative universities in Russia, held under National Priority Project "Education." In 2009, in recognition of our position among the leading Russian universities, we were awarded a National Research University's highly prestigious status. In 2013 we won a grant for entering the international university ratings and became one of the top 15 universities in Russia.
Our students have a unique chance to progress in science using the one-of-a-kind research equipment, latest educational programs, and most modern informational technologies. We have recently opened 12 new research and educational centers. These include the interuniversity media-center with the "Sergei Korolev" – the most powerful supercomputer in the Volga region, Povolzhie Center for Space Geoinformatics for studies into aircraft aero-dynamics, machinery vibration and acoustics, nanotechnologies, SAM-technologies. These centers educate and train specialists on every level – from skilled workers to postgraduates. They prepare personnel with skills and knowledge vitally crucial for economics, high-technological industries, state research centers, and aerospace corporations – all these work in close contact with Samara University. Our University is acknowledged as the core university for the Samara aerospace cluster. Our glorious traditions and the University's high mission are reflected in our history and our achievements. Over 60 thousand alumni, working all over Russia and beyond, call Samara University their alma mater.
