Innovation Results
Kuban State University has been incorporated into the Federal Center of Science and High Technologies, All-Russia Center of Emergency Situations due to ongoing research and implementation of technologies connected with the safety of buildings, hydraulic and engineering structures and modeling of natural and man-made disasters and their consequences.
Our scientists have created innovative products and services of a great practical value. Among them are the following:
– A method for detoxicating oil sludge and eliminating oil spills by using microorganisms. In 10 years, there have been concluded more than 115 contracts with major corporations such as Transneft, Rosneft, and CPC JSC. As a result, nearly 40,000 tons of oil sludge have been detoxicated and 3 sludge reservoirs eliminated with over 30 hectares of arable black earth soil returned to farming.
– A technology of single crystals synthesis under controlled crystallization and doping has been designed. Also, several unique compounds have been synthesized for nonlinear optics, including laser materials for microchip lasers, which is expected to promote the development of the technology-intensive economy in the region. The crystals synthesized at the University are regularly exported to the USA, Japan, Germany, Lithuania and other countries. (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, LLNL; Amistar, Inc.; Laser Vision Ltd.; AVANTES GmbH, Molecular Technology GmbH).
– Some of the laboratories specialize in creating unique ion-exchange membranes with nanostructures and electric membrane complexes providing a selective transfer of substances in solutions. The inventions were used to develop electric membrane modules for water and other liquids purification, which have been successfully commercialized at factories in Goryachy Klyuch (Krasnodar territory), St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Latvia.
2010 saw an overhaul of the optical astrophysical observatory, after 50 years of service. Its 5 new domes were supplied with up-to-date optical astrophysical equipment, including the South Russia’s only optic-electronic astrophysical complex with a mirror diameter of more than 50 cm.
International Contacts
Kuban State University maintains contacts with more than 40 higher educational establishments in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Kazakhstan, Mexico, South Korea, Syria, Turkey, Ukriaine and the USA. With 30 of them, cooperation agreements have been concluded in the following areas: membrane technologies; technologies for the production of high-purity materials and biologically active products; laser technologies, seismology, ecology, and prevention of natural and man-caused disasters.
The University actively participates in international projects funded by TACIS, TEMPUS, INTAS, DAAD, and some other organizations. The grants won by both the staff and students total USD 1,500,000.
The dynamic international collaboration is headed by Vladimir A. Babeshko, Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Victor .I. Zabolotsky, Dr.Sc, (Chemistry), Professor. Victor V.Nikonenko, Dr.Sc. (Chemistry), Professor, Valery V. Badikov, Ph.D.(Physics), Associate Professor.
Accommodation
Kuban State University welcomes international students and is generally able to provide accommodation for all new international students without dependants. Students reside at Kuban State University in dormitory rooms. The dormitories are situated on the University Campus. The four room apartments are up to date facilities and offer the opportunity to integrate into the University and interact closely with Russian students. International students live in separate apartments which consist of four rooms. One room is intended for two-three persons.
The University will give special consideration to cultural and religious needs but cannot guarantee that all international students will be accommodated in single rooms.
The University also has a limited number of apartments for couples or families with up to two young children which are reserved for international students. Students should contact the International Affairs Department as soon as possible to check on availability.
For food-supplying the University has some cafeterias, student-canteen and bars. But students can go shopping and cook their own meal which is possible with the facilities provided in the dormitories.
There is also a Homestay Program for students who wish to experience Russian family life. This experience facilitates language learning and provides direct contact with Russian culture. Families vary in size and composition and can be as diverse as a single child or a couple with two-five children. Students take breakfast and dinner each day with their host family.
If a student does not intend to be accommodated both in dormitories and in a Russian family the University can offer him/her assistance in finding accommodation in the private rented sector.
While completing the application form – questionnaire- you should indicate your preferences in appropriate box: whether you prefer living in a dormitory or in a family.
