Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
The Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology ( Russian Московский Физико-Технический институт ), MIPT for short , also known as Phystech , is one of the leading technical universities in all of Russia . The MIPT has around 3,600 students and is based in Dolgoprudny near Moscow .
history
The institute was founded primarily at the request of the Russian physicist Pjotr Leonidowitsch Kapiza in February 1946 by the Russian Academy of Sciences with the intention of establishing an elite science school in Russia. The teaching and training system of the institute, later known as the “Phystech System”, consisted of having carefully selected students draw up their own teaching and research plan and being supervised by a professor of trust each time. After disagreements about the Soviet research goal of its own atom bomb at the time , the Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology was incorporated into the Moscow State University on November 25, 1946 , but was again run as an independent university from September 17, 1951. The current Rector of the MIPT is Professor Nikolai Nikolayevich Kudryavtsev .
