MPEI is a leading Russian
engineering university operating under the MPEI target model by 2030 and the
University 3.0 concept, which integrates education, research and innovation.
The university aims to achieve recognized leadership in energy and high-tech
industries in Russia and within international regional alliances such as the
EAEU, CIS, SCO and BRICS. As part of its strategic development, MPEI is
integrating artificial intelligence across all areas of activity – from
education and research to management and decision-making systems.
MPEI was the first in Russia
to defend Ph.D. and Doctor of Science theses in technical sciences. Today, the
university employs over 2 200 lecturers and scientists, including Ph.D. and Dr.
Sci. degree holders engaged in fundamental and applied research.
Research activities focus on
priority technological areas: thermal and nuclear power engineering, electrical
power engineering and electromechanics, renewable energy systems, power
electronics, radioelectronics, automation and control systems, information technologies,
materials science, applied physics, etc. The university conducts state-funded
and industry-sponsored projects and implements R&D results in cooperation
with major industrial partners, including the “ROSATOM” State Atomic Energy
Corporation and the “ROSCOSMOS” State Space Corporation.
MPEI’s unique research
infrastructure ensures full-cycle experimental validation. It includes an
educational thermal power plant, a specialized pilot plant, a renewable energy
landfill for testing distributed and alternative energy systems, as well as a
uranium-water subcritical assembly for reactor physics research.
Neutron Physics Laboratory
These and other MPEI facilities
are supported by modern educational buildings, specialized scientific
laboratories and a strong experimental base for large-scale testing and
technological prototyping.
Uranium-water subcritical assembly
MPEI scientists participate
actively in the international scientific conferences. Many conferences are held
in MPEI and became traditional for the world-wide science.
Through its qualified academic
staff, advanced infrastructure and strategic leadership, MPEI maintains its
position as a major research center in power engineering and high-technology
systems.
