Being a scientist means creating a better future for the country and the world! RUDN scientists set ambitious goals for themselves, conduct advanced scientific research, make discoveries and bring Russian technologies to foreign markets. They have at their disposal more than 200 laboratories with modern high—tech equipment. Every year, RUDN holds more than 150 international scientific events, and university scientists patent about 100 new developments. Advances in research — from new cancer treatments to “cleaning up” space debris — are designed to improve human life.

RUDN trains highly qualified personnel. Every year, the share of postgraduate who have defended their dissertations is growing. Let’s note the most popular areas of training in the graduate school of RUDN:

  • Clinical medicine
  • Economy
  • Law
  • Historical sciences and archaeology
  • Political sciences and regional studies
  • Science and Business

In 2021, the university implemented 14 research projects jointly with foreign partners from: Brazil, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Vietnam, China, Taiwan.

Last year, for the first time, the result of intellectual activity, protected in the mode of trade secrets, was successfully commercialized. This is a project of scientists from the Institute of Environmental Engineering, which was sold to an industrial partner in order to introduce it into production activities.

Since 2021, the university has been implementing a new system of grant support for research projects. About 170 million rubles were allocated, 49 applications of research teams of the RUDN were supported.

The University has won and is implementing Mega grants:

  • project “Personalized strategy of cancer treatment using neutron radiation based on three-dimensional cell models of the tumor” (Medical Institute, head Andrey Kaprin)
  • project “Purushottama Center for the Study of Philosophy and Culture of India” (Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Head Ruzana Pskhu)

In 2017, RUDN University scientists constructed a new explicit second-order precision difference scheme using modern computer algebra methods for 2-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) [1]. This year, our mathematicians used a new scheme [2] to construct a numerical solution to the Cauchy problem with initial data (for t=0) as satisfying the continuity equation. Scientists managed to achieve previously unattainable accuracy of the continuity equation.
