This meeting of the International Scientific Council will already be the third of such meetings. On the first meeting in October 2016, its participants chose eight candidates for the heads of innovative laboratories. Also within the first meeting of the Council, the researchers gave their expert opinion on SUSU’s main research projects. In the long-distance meeting of the Council, held online in the beginning of March 2017, members of the IRC discussed results of the university’s first year of work within the 5-100 Project in the main areas of development – new academic technologies, breakthrough technologies, innovation, and regional development.

The council plans discussion and analysis of the recommendations of the Project 5-100 International Council, a panel discussion “International tendencies in the development of education and science,” discussion on the strategies for advancing the university as a whole in and specific ratings, and strategies to develop the potential of SUSU’s staff. The experts of the IRC will also analyze the intermediate results of work of the laboratories founded within the 5-100 project and hold seminars for SUSU’s pedagogical and research groups.
