Laboratories \ equipment supporting education
There are 76 specialized laboratories, including the Technology Park (cyclotron, microtron), 50 training simulators with equipment allowing to model typical and disturbance situations of power plants.
The Hydrogen Energy Research Institute was established at Ural Federal University. It will become a platform for implementation of the large-scale project "Materials and Technologies for Hydrogen and Nuclear Power Engineering". The new research institute was created as part of the Priority 2030 Strategic Academic Leadership Program. The employees of the institute will develop and synthesize new functional materials and devices with high performance characteristics for hydrogen power engineering.
There are 12 international scientific laboratories at UrFU there are some of them: Climate and environmental physics laboratory; NANOFER – Laboratory of nano-sized ferroelectric materials; Laboratory of non-conventional low-size materials; Laboratory “Chemical design of advanced multifunctional oxide materials”; Laboratory of magnetic sensor; Laboratory of molecular mechanisms and morphogenesis ecology.
UrFU also has an agreement and is active on the XuetangX foreign platform, thanks to which we promote our online courses in other countries, and at the same time give our students the opportunity to study at foreign universities.
Academic and research staff
The number of academic staff – 1396 full time professors and associate professor docents, 596 senior lecturers, 74 teaching assistants; 505 part-time professors and associate professors, 213 senior lecturers, 143 teaching assistants, there are 114 international academic staff.
