Russian President Vladimir Putin has set the goal of creating at least 25 new campuses by 2030. Competitive selections for the campuses took place in 2021 and 2022, and today modern campuses are being built in 17 regions of Russia. Over this time, clear expectations have taken shape about what a modern campus should be. Campuses are not just the result of construction; they serve as an infrastructure base for the scientific and technological development of the country and its regions. The creation of such innovative infrastructure will contribute to the implementation of advanced educational and scientific projects and create conditions for the mobility of students and teachers in Russia, and also to attract foreign students. Each region that is implementing this project still needs to develop targeted campus models, identify priority thematic areas, and create programmes and product lines. Many regional teams have already carried out significant work, both in terms of developing campus concepts as well as major design and construction phases. However, there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered. How can we create advanced infrastructure, form new regional partnerships, initiate interregional cooperation, and integrate campuses into the urban environment?Roll up
