KSUAE architecture students win international competition in India

The charitable foundation, the Indian Autism Centre (IAC), cares for people with autism spectrum disorders and other related conditions. They are building a large campus where the architecture and landscape create a powerful sense of identity and a genuine sense of place for its inhabitants. The campus architecture provides each user with the opportunity to fully realize their potential in a safe environment and helps the local community.

The foundation organized an international student competition to create a pavilion building that will welcome all residents and guests of the campus. It will house an information space; recreation areas, communication areas for employees and visitors; meeting places for users of the center and guests. The organizers encouraged the students to base their project on the ideals of simplicity and humanity, take into account the specifics of the campus and match the identity of the place. The students were given a detailed technical task, as close to reality as possible.

All in all, it turned out to be a complex but very interesting task, which was perfectly handled by the KSUAE architecture students under the guidance of their teacher Ilnar Akhtyamov. The 16 finalists of the competition included several projects by students of the TIArch studio: Artur Akhunov, Timur Abdrakhmanov, Valeria Burkova, Alexandra Ilyasova, Egor Kiselev, Radmir Valeev. And the winner was the team of 3rd and 4th year students Diana Iksanova and Alsu Sharafutdinova. They were awarded first place! The teams that took second and third places were formed by students from India.

Each project of the KSUAE student architects turned out to be a unique author's statement of the student with concern for people with autism spectrum disorder, taking into account the peculiarities of Indian architecture and their traditions.

The award was diplomas, as well as a statuette, which was carefully sent from India itself, plus a cash prize. We are proud of our students and how attentively they treat people when working on architectural space!

Rector took part in the meeting of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia "On the preliminary results of 2024 and plans for 2025"

KSUAE Rector R.K. Nizamov took part in the meeting of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia "On the preliminary results of 2024 and plans for 2025". The Minister of Science and Higher Education V.N. Falkov held a meeting with the rectors of Russian universities. The event was attended by the heads of 225 universities subordinate to the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.

Valery Falkov drew the attention of those gathered to the fact that in 2024, the President of Russia signed three documents that are already influencing qualitative changes in the field of higher education and science. We are talking about the Decrees "On the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation", "On the National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030 and for the Perspective up to 2036" and "On Approval of Priority Areas of Scientific and Technological Development and the List of the Most Important Science-Intensive Technologies". In his speech, the Minister emphasized the main key points related to the implementation of state programs in the field of higher education and science.

In 2025, compared to 2024, the number of budget places allocated to universities for priority areas, within which engineering, technical, pedagogical and medical personnel are trained, is maintained and even increased.

The year 2025 will be dedicated to active actions to transition to a new model of higher education. "This is an evolutionary process associated with improving the system. Among the principles of work that will be laid down in the new model are strengthening the fundamental principles and high-quality practice orientation," the Minister said. Systemic measures to support universities that affect their development have been preserved. Among them are the construction of new campuses, the creation of advanced engineering schools, the Priority 2030 program, the creation of youth laboratories, the National Center for Medical Research, and work to update the instrument base. The existing programs of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia are being transformed to meet the tasks of technological leadership. Thus, starting in 2025, new criteria for assessing participants in the Priority 2030 program will be introduced. A competition for grant support for student design bureaus will be announced by the end of this year. The competition will be held in the first months of 2025. After the completion of the 2024-2025 academic year, the results of the project will be carefully analyzed in 50 universities where a pilot project to improve the quality of teaching fundamental disciplines is being conducted. In the future, the successful experience of these universities is planned to be extended to all other universities.

After the meeting, Rector R.K. Nizamov discussed current issues with the rectors of Russian universities of architecture and civil engineering.
