Skoltech (The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology) is a private graduate research university in Moscow, Russia. Established in 2011 in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Skoltech was conceived as part of the Skolkovo Innovation Center, a scientific and technological center for the advancement and commercialization of advanced technologies. The university aims to foster innovation and research in areas such as energy, information technology, biomedicine, and space. Skoltech’s educational approach emphasizes project-based learning, entrepreneurship, and innovation, encouraging students to participate in research that leads to real-world solutions. The institution has quickly garnered a reputation for its cutting-edge research facilities and its emphasis on creating a global impact through science and technology. With a robust curriculum that integrates science, technology, and industry, Skoltech represents a significant shift in Russian higher education towards a more research-intensive and interdisciplinary model.
