Siberian Federal University

Krasnoyarsk is the largest business, industrial and cultural center of the Eastern Siberia, the capital of Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia's second largest territory. It is located in the heart of Russia in the area between the small river Kacha and the great Yenisei River. The city is famous for its unique landscapes, mountains, woods and the nature reserve "Stolby".

Krasnoyarsk is gradually increasing economic, investment and scientific potential. The city’s economy has been initially industrial. Along with the traditional industrial sectors: metallurgy, energy, machinery, the construction industry, education industry, the production of ideas and technologies are actively developing. Krasnoyarsk is a large transport and logistics center. Main industries – non-ferrous metallurgy, hydropower, aerospace industry and other machinery, chemical, wood processing industry, and education.

One can hardly find a place in Russia with such an impressive number of implemented national projects as in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Our most focused “development points” have been determined in industry, power engineering and energy, research and education. Siberian Federal University, as a response to regional developmental challenges, was established in 2006 to train highly qualified specialists capable of working in any region of our country, including severe conditions of the Northern areas.
