Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology

It was founded in 1918 as Chemical Faculty of Ivanovo-Vosnesensk Polytechnic Institute.[2] In 1930, Ivanovo-Vosnessensk Polytechnic Institute was split into four independent schools: Ivanovo Textile Institute, Ivanovo Power Institute, Civil Engineering Institute, and Ivanovo Institute of Chemistry and Technology (ICTI). The latter gained a new status in 1992 and was renamed to Ivanovo State Academy of Chemistry and Technology, and in 1998 it was renamed again, becoming Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology.

The ISUCT has a multi-level system of higher education: bachelor – 4 years, master – 2 years, post-graduate – 3–4 years, pre-university programs for foreign students – 1 year. ISUCT provides high-quality training in a wide range of engineering, technological, and natural sciences directions.[3]

Today ISUCT is a team of highly qualified academic and research staff, including honored workers of science, of education and culture, laureates of state and government awards, honorary doctors and professors from leading European universities,[4] honorary workers of higher professional education of the Russian Federation.

The university is located in seven buildings:

• The main building ("Г"). The building was built in 1930 by the project of academician Fomin. It is an architectural monument.

The university hosts a large number of events weekly. The most famous traditional student events are celebrations of Chemist's Day, concerts of Student Club, scientific conference "Fundamental Sciences for a Specialist of the New Century",[5] etc.

The ISUCT offers students to realize their opportunities. The following organizations work at the university:

• Student Club [6]

An association of talented ISUCT students, including dance groups, folklore ensembles, vocal groups, student theater, KVN (a comedy competition) team, etc. The Student Club was many times the winner of the regional amateur performances festival "The Students' Spring" and thus became a real leader among other higher schools of Ivanovo.

It carries out versatile esthetic education of the students and directs a varied programme of entertainment, visiting speakers, social and cultural events, discussion clubs, etc.

Over the years of its existence the ISUCT has turned into a major center of fundamental and applied science. This was primarily promoted by the traditions laid down in different years by the founders of scientific schools and directions: N.N. Vorozhtsov, Ya.K. Syrkin, P.P. Budnikov, E.A. Shilov, K.B. Yatsimirsky, G.A. Krestov, V.P. Vasiliev, A.A. Spryskov, P.V. Moryganov, B.N. Melnikov, V.F. Borodkin, R.P. Smirnov, K.S. Krasnov, V.N. Kiselnikov, V.A. Shormanov, E.M. Rumyantsev, V.G. Melnikov and others. Today their scientific ideas are being continued and developed by leading scientists of the university, including honored scientists of the Russian Federation, honoured workers of the higher school of the Russian Federation, laureates of the prize of the President of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Russian Federation.

The ISUCT pays great attention to the development of youth research projects.[9] In 2019, the ISUCT has received more than 30 patents for inventions and won over 20 grants.[10] Young scientists of the ISUCT regularly win all-Russian and international competitions.[10] In 2019, representatives of the university received one-twentieth of all scholarships of the President of Russia to study abroad.[10]

The ISUCT handles foreign students since early 1950th due to either intergovernmental agreements or direct contracts. More than 4000 students study at the University.[16] Number of foreign students is more than 200.[16] Students from different countries studied at the university at different times.
