Based on scientific schools and the established infrastructure of scientific and educational centers, KSUAE scientists carry out in-demand R&D, the results of which are implemented in real production.
KSUAE holds a leading position in architectural and construction education in Russia, and is practically the only university to represent our country in international student competitions.

In 2025, KSUAE hosted eight scientific conferences, including those with publications in highly rated scientific and technical journals. The scientific journal "KSUAE News" was included in the Unified State List of Scientific Publications—the "White List" of scientific journals in the Russian Federation. Six electronic scientific journals are published, indexed in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) database.
In 2026, the university team will face new major challenges that require the combined efforts of our scientific schools to maximize their contribution to meeting the needs of the construction industry and achieving Russia's scientific and technological sovereignty.
I wish the university team continued success and scientific achievements on Russian Science Day!
