The key development guidelines were outlined by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, who chairs the Board of Trustees of the Talent and Success Foundation, as follows:
«The entire Sirius project is meant to become a kind of laboratory — a platform for creative freedom, exploration, and experimentation. Sirius is to give rise, among other things, to cutting-edge trends in design, urbanism, social development, and the creation of new opportunities for people, especially the young, and to help integrate these trends into daily life. In short, it should foster those innovative, creative approaches to shaping a contemporary living environment that are in high demand everywhere across our country.»
— (from a speech by Vladimir V. Putin at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Talent and Success Educational Foundation, August 6, 2019)
The Sirius University of Science and Technology builds on the concept of the Sirius Educational Center — it brings together university students, world-renowned scientists, and those just beginning their journey in science, along with leading Russian industries, corporations, universities, and research centers.
The University integrates science, education, and industry to unlock a new quality of training for Russia's future scientific and technological elite. It creates an enriching and inspiring environment for harmonious personal development.
Training broadly educated and well-rounded young scientists, engineers, and technological entrepreneurs who possess a unique set of scientific and social competencies, are capable of and motivated to create new technological solutions that address grand challenges. Scaling up unique educational programs and competencies to partner universities.
Building a new knowledge- and technology-based economy in Russia, powered by technological entrepreneurship and ensuring our country’s global competitiveness.
Creating an environment that inspires talented young scientists to pursue constructive scientific, technological, educational, entrepreneurial, and public activities in the interests of the Russian Federation.
Contributing to the sustainable development of the Sirius Federal Territory and unlocking its potential and that of its residents. Collaborating with the Sirius Innovation Science and Technology Center to attract high-tech companies and foster technological entrepreneurship.
Serving as a methodological and infrastructural center for the national higher education system: developing and transferring to partner universities not only educational programs, but also models for organizing research, approaches to training researchers, and shared access to unique research and computing infrastructure — in the interest of the country's technological sovereignty.
The Sirius University of Science and Technology has built up a unique intellectual and material resource base that can serve the interests of the entire country. Russian academic institutions and technology companies will have access to the University's equipment, while students from other universities across all regions of the country will gain access to modular educational programs and courses.
Beyond its scientific, educational and technology-transfer dimensions, the University’s unique character is further shaped by the development of other areas of human life, such as art and creativity, active leisure and high-performance sports.
The model it has built is wholly centered on human potential as a supreme value.
