Sobolev Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS (IGM SB RAS) is one of the largest research institutes in the Russian Federation and carries out fundamental and applied research in the fields of deep geodynamics, magmatism, metamorphism, mineral formation (including in the deep zones of the Earth), ore formation and metallogeny, global changes in the natural environment and climate, geo-ecology, development and use of geo-information technologies. The structure of the Institute includes 20 laboratories and a number of production and technical groups. The total number workers at  the Institute is about 700 people, including about 400 research workers, of which more than 70 are doctors of science and more than 180 are candidates of science.

 

Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geologists and Geophysics SB RAS (IPGG SB RAS) conducts fundamental research and applied work in various branches of geological science related to the laws governing the formation and structure of sedimentary basins, the theory of naphthidogenesis, the internal structure of the Earth, its geophysical fields, modern geodynamic processes; seismology, global and regional stratigraphy, biogeochronology, patterns of location of hydrocarbon deposits and coal; geophysical and geochemical methods of prospecting and exploration of deposits. In 29 research laboratories and divisions of the Institute (in the West Siberian, Tomsk and Yamalo-Nenets branches) more than 700 employees work, including about 250 research assistants.

 

IGM and IPGG SB RAS conduct joint research projects with various scientific organizations: universities of Valencia (Spain), Tohoku, Tokyo, Hokkaido (Japan), Carnegie (USA), Oulu (Finland), Tallinn, Tartu (Estonia), Dublin (Ireland) , Cambridge (England), Lanzhou, Hong Kong (China), Tasmania, Sydney, Perth (Australia) and others.

 

Novosibirsk National Research State University (NSU) was established in 1958, six months after the foundation of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The uniqueness of the NSU lies in the combination of higher education and academic science. Every year, Russian and foreign students enter NSU. University graduates are popular specialists in various fields of science, education, modern technology and business who can easily find their place in the country and abroad. The NSU has always been distinguished by the democratic relations between students, faculty and staff, and has developed the intellectual and creative abilities of its wards. NSU motto: “We will not make you smarter; we will teach you to think!”
