National University of Science and Technology (MISIS)

National University of Science and Technology "MISIS" ( former State Technological University "Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys") is Russia's primary technological university in the field of steelmaking and metallurgy. During Stalin's regime, the Institute was renamed the Stalin Moscow Institute of Steel. It adopted its current name in 1962 after having been united with the Institute of Nonferrous Metals and Gold. The status of Technological University was awarded in 1993.

More than 50 thousand engineers, about 2000 candidates and 250 Doctors of Sciens graduated from the universuty. Among the graduates there are 8 academicians and a corresponding member of Russian Academy of Sciences, more than 200 directors and chief engineers of factories and research institutes, 30 chancellors and vice-chancellors.

The university graduates engineers, bachelors and masters in more than 30 departments. Research complex of MISIS is made up of 35 subdepartments, 17 research laboratories and 7 self-financing centers with more than 350 scientists working there.
