National Research Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N. I. Lobachevsky (Lobachevsky University, UNN listen)) is the largest university in Nizhny Novgorod, one of the national research universities in Russia. It is one of 21 Russian universities participating in the program of the Government of the Russian Federation to increase international competitiveness among the world's leading scientific and educational centers.

Short description[ | ]

It was opened on January 31 (January 17, old style) 1916 as Nizhny Novgorod People's University. In the period from 1932 to 1990 it was called Gorky State University. In 2009 it received the status of a national research university of Russia.

Includes 18 faculties and educational institutes, 132 departments, 6 research institutes.

Currently, the university has about 30,000 students, over 1,000 graduate students and doctoral students, 1,200 candidates and more than 450 doctors of science. UNN is the third largest organization in Nizhny Novgorod by the number of employees, second to the Gorky Automobile Plant and the Gorky Railway.

UNN's successes have been awarded five QS Stars in the fields of education, graduate employment, innovation, and infrastructure. Among the first 15 Russian universities, UNN received a grant from the Government of the Russian Federation to increase international competitiveness and enter the leading world rankings (Project 5-100).

Story [ | ]

In 1918 he was evacuated to Nizhny Novgorod. After the merger of this university with this institute and with the Higher Agricultural Courses, it receives the status of a state university for the first time in the country.

In 1921, there was a significant reduction in the number of faculties. On May 4, 1921, a resolution was issued by the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR on the liquidation of all historical and philological faculties in the country and the organization of faculties of social sciences in their place. The number of teachers in 1922 is reduced from 239 to 156 people.

A year later, on November 11, 1931, the university was re-established, incorporating 3 faculties: physics and mathematics, biology and chemistry. The building of the former theological seminary (now the building of the Faculty of Natural Geography of the Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University on Minin and Pozharsky Square) became the educational and scientific base.

By 1932, the following departments operated as part of UNN: physical, mechanical, zoological, botanical, chemical, and mathematical.

Since 1938, entrance exams were established and for the first time Gorky University recruited freshmen through a competition.

On March 20, 1956, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Gorky State University was named after N. I. Lobachevsky.

Ratings [ | ]

Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. Lobachevsky is included in the top 800 best universities in the world according to the QS World University Rankings 2016, in the top 300 of the prestigious THE BRICS & Emerging Economies Rankings 2017, in the top 100 of the QS World University Rankings: BRICS 2016, and occupies leading positions in many others international and Russian ratings. Also, Lobachevsky University for the first time entered the top 300 of the prestigious subject ranking QS World University Rankings 2017 in the field of “Physics and Astronomy”, taking a position in the range of 251-300. In other areas, the university is not included in the subject rankings.

Developments [ | ]

In October 2016, university representatives announced the development of unique ceramic materials for spacecraft that can withstand high temperatures and radiation, thereby ensuring the possibility of interplanetary travel. Also, UNN scientists are implementing the Cyberheart and Cybertrainer projects.

The Cyberheart project involves the development of an intelligent software system for obtaining, storing and analyzing cardiac data. Such a system will include a software package that allows for large-scale calculations that accurately reproduce dynamic processes in the heart. At the same time, the device is capable of receiving reliable data on a person’s cardiac activity in real time, as well as simulating various influences (electrical, mechanical, optical and others), and testing the effect of medications. The development is capable of recognizing heart diseases based on the existing database.

“Cyberheart” has a system for graphical support for data analysis in cardiology, a system for automatically developing methods for possible treatment of specific patients, and an ECG measurement system with sending results via a wireless network.

The Cybertrainer EOS (Electromyographic Optical System) system is designed to monitor, visualize and adjust human muscle activity. The complex consists of a suit with integrated myo-sensors. During physical activity, the sensor system takes information about the load on the muscles of interest and projects the image onto augmented reality glasses. A tactile stimulation system for individual muscles can adjust movements according to a recorded reference. Training, even with a personal trainer, does not reflect an objective picture of the work of a person’s muscles.

Using the Cybertrainer suit, the athlete spends less time achieving the goal, significantly reducing the likelihood of injury. The Cybertrainer system will allow you to monitor the recovery processes of injured muscles, as well as prevent re-injury. The software allows you to configure the maximum permissible level of tension for each muscle, upon reaching which the vibration sensor system signals the user about excess load.

Description of the educational institution Nizhny Novgorod State University named after. N.I. Lobachevsky

Nizhny Novgorod State University named after. N.I. Lobachevsky (Nizhny Novgorod State University) was founded on January 17, 1916 as one of the three People's Universities of Russia and became the first higher educational institution in Nizhny Novgorod. In 1918, after merging with the Polytechnic Institute evacuated from Warsaw and with the Higher Agricultural Courses, the university received state status (the first Soviet university).

In 1930, on the basis of a number of faculties of the University of Nizhny Novgorod, 6 narrow-profile institutes were created: mechanical engineering, chemical, pedagogical, agricultural, construction, medical. By 1932, the following departments operated as part of UNN: physical, mechanical, zoological, botanical, chemical, and mathematical.

By the second half of the 20th century, UNN became a major scientific and educational center, including world-famous scientific schools in the field of vibration theory (Academician A. A. Andronov), crystallography (Academician N. V. Belov), radiophysics (Academician A. V. Gaponov - Grekhov), chemistry of organometallic compounds (Academician G. A. Razuvaev), chemistry of high-purity substances (Academician G. G. Devyatykh), theory of functions (Professor I. R. Braitsev), theory of dynamic systems (Professor Yu. I. Neimark), population genetics (Professor S.S. Chetverikov), etc. The university laboratories served as the initial basis for the creation of the Nizhny Novgorod institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There were significant achievements in the humanitarian fields associated with the names of corresponding member S. I. Arkhangelsky, professors N. P. Sokolov, B. N. Golovin and others.

Since its founding, Nizhny Novgorod University has been a distinctly innovative organization, providing education based on scientific research in close connection with national objectives. In 1945, the first radiophysics faculty in the USSR was created at UNN, and in 1963, the faculty of computational mathematics and cybernetics (also the first in the country), which became one of the important foundations for the development of the radio-electronic industry and information technology. The active participation of the university in solving current complex scientific and technical problems led to the formation of large research institutes within the structure of UNN: physics and technology (1932), chemistry (1944), radiophysics (1956), applied mathematics and cybernetics (1964), mechanics ( 1974), molecular biology and regional ecology (2002). The university has created the country's first Faculty of Management and Entrepreneurship (rewarded with a prize from the city of Nizhny Novgorod in 1997) and the Department of Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship in the scientific and technical field, which trains managers of small knowledge-intensive firms. UNN students annually achieve prizes at All-Russian Olympiads in physics, mathematics, and programming.

The university consists of: 19 faculties (Biological, Chemical, Historical, Radiophysical, Physical, Mechanical and Mathematical, Economic, Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, Philological, Higher School of General and Applied Physics, Legal, Management and Entrepreneurship, Financial, Social Sciences, Military Training , Physical education and sports, International relations, Pre-university preparation and career guidance, Foreign students), 132 departments, 7 research institutes (Physical and Technical, Chemistry, Mechanics, Applied Mathematics and Cybernetics, Molecular Biology and Regional Ecology, Living Systems, Botanical Garden ), 9 branches in the Nizhny Novgorod region, Fundamental library with a fund of more than 2 million items, Innovation and technology center, publishing house and printing house, a complex of museums - zoological (among the 5 best in Russia), archaeological, ethnographic, university history (with artistic gallery), memorial museum of the Nizhny Novgorod Radio Laboratory.

The “Nizhny Novgorod United Educational and Scientific Center of the University and Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences” was created (2001) and is successfully operating as a simple partnership (the first in Russia). Directors of all RAS institutes head departments at UNN. The university has branches of its departments in all institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and large industry research institutes in Nizhny Novgorod. UNN is a member of the Council of the Nizhny Novgorod Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (NAPP) and has agreements on targeted training with both NAPP and leading organizations and enterprises of Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region, including the Russian Federal Nuclear Center (Sarov). The educational and scientific cooperation of UNN with new Russian companies representing well-known Western companies (Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Motorola, etc.) has acquired a significant scale.

UNN has created interaction networks in the Volga Federal District for the development of cooperation in the field of information and communication technologies between the European Union and the Volga Federal District (100 contact points), for the development of a unified educational environment (11 universities in the Volga Federal District), for cooperation in infrastructure support for innovation activities (10 universities in the Volga Federal District), etc.

As part of its international activities (which became possible after the opening of the city in 1991), the university created unique programs “Russian-French University” and “Russian-Italian University” (the program was twice included in the joint action plan of the Russian Federation and the Italian Republic), the results of passing which are certified by documents of two countries. Hundreds of UNN students underwent semester-long training at the best universities in Europe within the framework of 16 educational projects won by UNN under the European TEMPUS-Tacis program. UNN students have repeatedly become winners of international competitions held in European languages. UNN is a member of the European University Association and is represented on the board of the European Academic Network of Deans.

In 2009, the University was awarded the status of “National Research University”; in recent years it has won 5 mega-grants.

History of the emergence of UNN named after. N.I. Lobachevsky

So, this university was opened in 1916 as one of the three famous People's Universities of the Russian Federation, which were directly part of the system of so-called “free” universities. For a city like Nizhny Novgorod, this was the first higher education institution.

After the merger of Nizhny Novgorod State University. N.I. Lobachevsky with the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute, it already receives the status of a state university.

Later in 1921, a significant reduction in the total number of faculties was carried out. The number of teachers is reduced from approximately 239 to 156 in 1922. All this entailed certain significant changes that could not but have an impact on the entire education system.

It can also be said that from the very moment of its founding, this university was a fairly pronounced innovative organization that carried out education on the basis of a series of scientific research, as well as in close connection with various current issues.

The rather active participation of this university in solving the most pressing problems led directly to the formation of quite large scientific and research institutes within its structure. That is, these are institutes such as radiophysics, regional ecology, molecular biology, mechanics and a number of others.

The university created the very first faculty of management and entrepreneurship in the whole country, as well as the well-known department of technology transfer and modern entrepreneurship, which trained the best managers of small, knowledge-intensive firms.

In addition, this educational institution is the only university in the entire Volga region that successfully provides training in a wide variety of specialties.
