Creating conditions for the development of high-tech physics
On the campus of the Baltic Federal University named after I. Kant, all conditions will be created for the development of high-tech physics. The campus will become a platform for the opening of laboratories in chemistry, instrumentation, physics and additive technologies, which will allow advanced research and training of new generation specialists. The university announced this on July 26, 2024.
The equipment of laboratories will make it possible to manufacture experimental installations right within the walls of the university, which will require students not only knowledge of physics and mechanics, but also skills in engineering, spatial thinking and design. This will strengthen the interdisciplinary connections of physics with other sciences.
 | Physics is the science that grows tulbuilders, those who create tools for other sciences. The tools for the fourth industrial revolution are based on new physical principles - these are, for example, microscopes for medicine with high resolution and accuracy. First, these principles are developed by physicists, then implemented by engineers, and then already applied by professionals in their fields, - said Valeria Rodionova, director of the REC "Smart Materials and Biomedical Applications," candidate of physical and mathematical sciences at BFU named after I. Kanta. |  |
BFU named after I. Kant has accumulated scientific potential in the field of physics, IT and IT solutions. The university seeks to bridge the historically established gap between scientific research and education.
| | Our task is to establish close interaction of students with modern high-tech enterprises and industries on the basis of scientific groups, scientific and educational centers and laboratories. We are already actively involving representatives of partner companies, for example, in the work on master's theses. REC "Smart Materials and Biomedical Applications" cooperates with a number of innovative companies. With the opening of this campus within the framework of the national project "Science and Universities," we plan to significantly expand and strengthen these ties between education, science and the real sector of the economy, "said Valeria Rodionova. | |
Scientific equipment and laboratories of the campus are created primarily for the development of the educational program "Physics of High Technologies," the start of which is scheduled for 2024. The program involves the introduction of innovative training formats and strengthening the connection of education with the real sector of the economy.
| | The physics program involves the development of interdisciplinary connections - with chemists, biologists, doctors, engineers and, of course, IT. This program will work already in the paradigm of modern science, which provides new tools and technologies. Without artificial intelligence and IT solutions, there is nowhere, - said Valeria Rodionova. | |
High-tech physicists will be trained at the I. Kant BFU campus as part of the Priority 2030 project. Its goal is to form an advanced world-class scientific and educational environment for breakthrough research and ensuring technological progress in Russia. The creation of conditions on the campus for the development of high-tech physics will allow BFU named after I. Kant to become one of the leading scientific and educational centers of the country in the field of physical sciences and science-intensive technologies.

Inspection of neocampus under construction
Rector of BFU named after I. Kanta Alexander Fedorov examined the complex under construction and said that he would be part of an innovation cluster in which all conditions would be created for the development of advanced science, art and business ideas of young people. The university announced this on March 21, 2024.
Eight buildings, 110 thousand square meters of vital and educational spaces - construction is in full swing. So in Kaliningrad they fulfill the task of creating at least 25 world-class campuses until 2030. The project to create campuses is part of the national project "Science and Universities," implemented by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.
All scientific disciplines in Kantian will receive their own "house," equipped with the most advanced equipment. So, in the cluster building of the Institute of High Technologies there will be areas of training related to robotics, material science and artificial intelligence, as well as fismat. The Technopark, a joint project with the Fakel Design Bureau, and the laboratory for chemical sources of the Renera company, an industry integrator of Rosatom, will also open here.
| | A landmark building for the city will be a building with a dominant tower with a 61-meter-high spire, which will house the Higher School of Philosophy, History and Social Sciences. The legacy of both the imperial Soviet style and the style that was here before can be traced here. This construction will arouse respect, - said the rector of the BFU named after I. Kanta Alexander Fedorov. | |
The pride of the future campus is the inter-university and public library "Thistles of the Mind," containing 550 thousand volumes. Thanks to the digital shell, up to 600 people will be able to use one book at the same time.
