At the Digital BRICS Forum, held on September 26-27, 2024 in Innopolis, Republic of Tatarstan, representatives of ROSATOM spoke about the initiative to create a University of Future Technologies in Russia. The concept was discussed at the ROSATOM session “Quantum Supremacy: Solo Race or BRICS Synergy?”, and was previously presented in detail during the meeting of the Ministers of Communications of the BRICS member countries, held during the forum.
University of Future Technologies is an international research and educational center in the field of quantum and related technologies, as well as an integrator of future technologies, including biomedical, neurotechnologies, and new materials. The creation of the university was supported by the President of Russia and was included in the list of orders issued following the first Future Technologies Forum in July 2023. State Corporation Rosatom will co-found the University, along with the Moscow Government, the Russian Quantum Center and other partner organizations.
“We expect that the University of Future Technologies will become a platform for scientific and technical dialogue between interested countries and will allow us to form a special language of scientific cooperation – to fulfill the potential of talented individuals and to ensure prosperity of different countries. ROSATOM has a substantial expertise in launching new scientific and technological areas; together with our partners we will continue this work within the University of Future Technologies,” – said Ekaterina Solntseva, Director for digitalization of ROSATOM.
