Since its early days of existence, D. Mendeleyev University has been training highly qualified engineers for industrial needs. Chemistry is a science that is capable of enhancing progress not only in the chemical industry, but also in the entire national economy. Modern high-performance technologies developed within the machine-building, aviation, and space sectors use the innovative materials worked out by our research staff, which by far exceed the conventional ones. We address the issues of environmental safety, develop low waste, resource and energy efficient technologies, innovative energy sources. Specialists trained by our University are capable of supporting the full production cycle at a chemical plant. Lately, we've been confronted with the task of training logisticians, managers, sociologists, industrial environmentalists, and IT professionals in addition to chemical engineers.
