Until now, joint scientific work was carried out in the field of chemistry and materials science: joint articles on these topics were published in international scientific journals.
Now the parties have decided to expand the scope of collaborative work and add humanitarian areas, in particular: history, international relations, and psychology. Moreover, the rector proposed to work on other fields of knowledge that are currently in demand. He is interested in the UrFU programs: Food Biotechnology, Astrophysics and Astrochemistry, Artificial Intelligence for Power Industry Applications and Energy for Smart Cities. He proposed to discuss further possible forms of cooperation in these fields of research.
