Welcome to the most northern university of Russia!

MSTU is one of the oldest higher educational establishment on the Kola peninsula. The history of the University begins in 1950. Thus, in the year 2000 it will celebrate its 50-th Anniversary. The first name of it – the High Marine School (HMS). Then it was made the Russian State Academy of Fishing Fleet and since 1996 it has become the Murmansk State Technical University, the biggest and the most prestigious educational Center in the Far North of Russia and undoubtedly one of the biggest and famous in the whole North-West of the country.

At present MSTU – leader on the educational market of the Murmansk Region. There are 9 Faculties and more then 30 Departments that train specialists in 28 fields and, what is more important, their number is constantly increasing. The main purpose of the University is providing all the branches of industry with well-qualified specialists. The total number of students is 4458 and the teaching Staff is represented by 394 licensed specialists, among whom there are Professors, Doctors of Sciences, Actual and Corresponding members of Russian and Foreign Academies of Sciences.

MSTU carries out not only enormous teaching activities, but also very intensive research work in various fields and scientific directions by the cooperative strengths of its students, teachers, scientists and post-graduates.

Nowadays the Internationalization has become one of the main aspects of Education all over the world, consequently, taking into consideration all the above mentioned information, it is impossible to underestimate the role of MSTU being the potential partner for the international cooperation in the sphere of Higher Education. The established Catalogue of the International Conference held at MSTU is meant to serve the best guide for all interested in constructing links and cooperation. The spectrum of interests of professors and scientists of MSTU is rather wide and covers different fields of education and science.

In this respect I would express sincere hope that the issued cd, being information source of the held Conference will assist our potential partners in establishing fruitful and mutually profitable Cooperation aiming in improving level of Education and intensive development going step to step with the Time and the World.

With best wishes and regards,
Rector of MSTU, professor Alexander Ershov
