According to these two indicators, NEFU leads among federal universities.
“In June, NEFU took the 35th place in Russia and 503 in the world in the international ranking of the Round University Ranking in technical sciences. Despite the change of leaders of the short-list, NEFU steadily takes the third place for the second time among federal universities. At the same time, the university has risen to a leading position among the federal universities in terms of the research quality in the field of technical sciences. The results of subject rankings prove that our university is competitive in these areas”, said Elena Afanasieva.
