The Rector's Greeting

More than thirty years have passed since the founding of our university. During this period, it went through a challenging establishment phase followed by rapid innovative growth. Today, Kazan Innovative University named after V.G. Timiryasov is one of the leading higher education institutions in Russia and a major center for education and research, supported by a strong academic and technological infrastructure. We are committed to maintaining high educational standards while continuously developing and implementing modern teaching methods and educational technologies.

The University's dynamic development and strong research potential enable our students to receive a high-quality education while providing our academics with opportunities to conduct cutting-edge research in areas such as in law, economics, psychology, and management. The university also works on priority issues such as anti-corruption, the competitiveness of Russian regions, public-private partnerships, and inclusive education.

Over thirty-two years of successful work, the University has educated tens of thousands of graduates. We are proud that our alumni include talented leaders at every level, professionals working across a wide range of industries, and young researchers who continue to bring recognition to their alma mater far beyond the borders of the Republic of Tatarstan

The University's achievements and the recognition it has earned inspire a deep sense of pride and remind us of our responsibility for the future. I am confident that our University will continue to fulfill its mission by training competent professionals who can advance science and business and making effective decisions for the benefit of society.

As Alice wisely said in “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland”, "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that." We have many ambitious strategic plans and socially significant projects ahead of us, and we are committed to making them a reality. I firmly believe that our University with its innovative spirit, strong corporate culture, and outstanding academic and creative potential has everything needed to reach top positions in higher education.

Finally, the University is located in the beautiful city of Kazan, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan (Russia). This multi-ethnic and multi-cultural city hosts large-scale international political events such as the BRICS Summit and the Russia-ASEAN Summit. Kazan is often called the “Third Capital of Russia” and “Sports Capital of Russia”. It offers residents and visitors a wide range of business opportunities and fascinating leisure activities.
