Elena Gafforova Director of the School of Economics and Management

Hello and welcome to the School of Economics and Management!

Today's portrait of our School consists of a variety of colors of our activities and the faces of our heroes - professors, students, partners and friends.

The main priority of the School since its establishment is the development as a part of the Russian and international academic community in educational, research, expert, and social and cultural activities.

We value openness to everything new and nurture respect for the traditions; we welcome perfectionism in task performance and work environment arrangement, encourage initiative and responsibility, support cooperation and interest.

By working together we can be proud of the results of improving the quality of our education in the field of economics, management, public administration, and tourism. Our educational programs are designed taking into account the best educational practices of the leading Russian and foreign universities. Our students are prize winners and finalists of all-Russian competitions: subject Olympiads in financial literacy and "I am a professional", the Cup “Manage”, the World Skills Championship, and other prestigious competitions.

The research results of our professors, students and alumni are often presented at well-known international conferences. The mentoring system and the mechanisms of internal and external travel grants contribute to the establishment of scientific schools and the involvement of talented youth to research.

We can responsibly say that the format of the educational process and research corresponds to the modern trends through project activities, attracting academic and business partners, and extensive use of the best domestic and foreign online resources. Students' participation in the implementation of projects becomes a big step, bringing them closer to solving real problems of business, public administration, and society.

We pay special attention to the development of international cooperation. We focus on the priority areas: increasing the number of foreign students, establishing partnerships for implementing projects with foreign colleagues, increasing the international academic mobility of students and professors.

Many implemented projects, a great number of initiatives, and the willingness to face new challenges inspire us to develop cooperation with everyone who shares our values, who is continually advancing, who is interested in creating a better future!

We are waiting for you at our School of Economics and Management!
