An important advantage of SUSU is its geographic position. The Southern Ural is located at the intersection of two parts of the world – Europe and Asia. At the region’s territory, there are about 60 obelisks “Europe – Asia”, the majority of which are located in the Chelyabinsk region. The Southern Urals have long since been a meeting spot of different eons, cultures and ethnic groups. Since the2nd century B.C. till the 15th century, the Great Silk Way, which connected the Western European countries with China, had been passing in this area. Today the tendency to developing new connections between countries of different civilizations and social and economic systems of Europe and Asia is the leading trend of internal and foreign policy of Russia.
These key circumstances became the basis of the new corporate brand mark of the university. The new logo preserves continuity of the best university’s traditions; at the same time it reflects the new development path of SUSU – the multinational, multicultural university situated at the intersection of Europe and Asia.
SUSU sets a goal to be one of the leading universities of the largest continent on Earth – the Eurasia continent.
