RTU MIREA Joins Rosatom’s Key Universities Consortium

MIREA – Russian Technological University has become a new member of Rosatom’s Key Universities Consortium. Rosatom is the state atomic energy corporation.

The Consortium is an association of higher educational institutions, created in June 2011 to coordinate activities of interest to the atomic industry in higher, postgraduate, and continuing professional education as well as research. Particular attention is paid to integrating education with science and industry, advancing fundamental and applied research at universities, sharing administrative experiences and best practices among leading universities worldwide.

Currently, Rosatom’s need for university graduates is projected to reach 30,000 by 2030. Numerous projects target youth audiences, including school and university students, aiming to provide future specialists with the knowledge needed for an informed career choice. More and more applicants are choosing Rosatom’s key universities.

Graduating from one of the universities in Rosatom’s Consortium is a direct pathway to employment. RTU MIREA’s membership of the Consortium gives advantages to its applicants and students due to:

• a high demand for the university’s graduates in the atomic industry;

• the high quality of student training, confirmed by university rankings.

Cooperation between Rosatom and RTU MIREA has actively developed in recent years. Since 2022, the RTU MIREA Institute of Information Technologies is home to the core department “Information Technologies in Atomic Energy,” offering the program 09.03.04 “Software Engineering.” Students majoring in IT can take a top-level training program sponsored by AO Greenatom called “Software Robotics: From Process Search to Robot Launch,” which is using the Atom.RITA platform.

Rosatom’s KIS Research and Production Association is one of RTU MIREA’s industrial partners in the federal project “Advanced Engineering Schools.” As a joint effort with the company, the University has set up a “Critical Infrastructure Center.”

Within the Chemical-Technological Cluster, a joint program in Chemical Technology of Rare and Rare Earth Metals (18.05.02 “Chemical Technology of Materials for Modern Energy”) is in place. There’s cooperation with Rosatom also in the program 22.03.01 “Materials Science and Materials Technology.”

In partnership with OOO SP Kvant, an entity within Rosatom’s group, a project named “Kvant” is underway to create a quantum terminal.
