National Research Nuclear University

National Research Nuclear University MEPhI is one of the most recognized technical universities in Russia. MEPhI was founded in 1942 as Moscow Mechanical Institute of Munitions but it was soon renamed Moscow Mechanical Institute. Its original mission was to train skilled personnel for the Soviet military and atomic programs. It was renamed the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in 1953, which was its name until 2009. By the law document, issued by the Russian Government on April 8, 2009 the university MEPhI was granted the new status. The university was reorganized. The aim of the university existence is now preparing the specialists by giving them higher professional, post-graduation professional, secondary professional and additional professional education, as well as educational and scientific activities.

There is the reactor of pool-type in the territory of the university. MEPhI has close connections with Federal Atomic Energy Agency and International Atomic Energy Agency. The university is the ground for holding different events in the science world. Beginning from 1997 MEPhI "opens doors" for school talents, organizing the youth contest "Junior".
