Dean - A. A. Vshivkov, Associate Professor, Candidate of Chemistry Telephone: +7 3432 617-411 Student body: 315 full-time students. Staff: 5 professors, Doctors of Sciences; 20 associate professors, Candidates of Sciences; 9 senior lecturers and lecturers. Chairs: inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, physical chemistry of high molecular compounds, analytical chemistry. Majoring in: chemistry (inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry of polymers and polymeric composite materials, chemistry of solids and new inorganic materials). Basic academic disciplines: chemistry (inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physica lchemistry, analytical chemistry, high-molecular compound chemistry, crystal chemistry, colloid chemistry, chemical engineering, physical research methods, higher mathematics, physics, computers and programming, majoring subjects). Major fields of research: the mechanism and kinetics of high-temperature chemical and electrochemical processes in fused ion electrolytes (rust protection of metals); solid-phase synthesis processes and methods of analysis of new oxide materials; thermodynamics of interaction between components and their compatibility in polymetric systems; sorptional and diffusional properties and gas permeability of polymetric materials; bifurcation organic compound synthesis (formation of photostabilizers, surface-active compounds, complexons). The Urals State University was founded in 1920 in Ekaterinburg - the oldest city of the Middle Urals - which is situated on the border of Europe and Asia. Today the Urals State University is one of the leading universities of Russia where the total number of personnel reaches 1900. The student body is made up of 4200 full-time students and 150 part-time students and 1800 correspondence students. The teaching stuff numbers 680. Among them: 5 academicians; 120 professors and doctors; 320 assistant professors, candidates of Sc. Besides academicians, 50 doctors and 40 candidates of sciences from the Urals Branch of the Academy of Sciences are invited to provide instruction on a part-time basis. The University has 11 faculties, 2 departments and 73 chairs which enable students to acquire 20 specialities and 60 specializations. Within its structure there are the following research institutes: The Institute of Physics and Applied Mathematics; The Institute of Russian Culture; The Institute and Department for the Advanced training of teachers in the arts professions; a refresher course for higher school teachers of mathematics. The University can boast of an Observatory, a Botanical garden, a biological station, a publishing house, a printing laboratory, a computing centre, a cryogenic nitrogen and helium station, an educational scientific centre for pre-university training of gifted pupils (lysee) and a scientific library ( within 1,2 million volumes). At our University not only students can study but those who decided to do business in Russia. If you are a businessman, you can learn the course "Business Communication" in order to orientate yourself fluently in Russian business world. If you are a doctor, lawyer or, for example, a biologist you can be offered the special course of Russian that will give you the unique opportunity to look through investigations, researches and work experiences of Russian specialists. The University has well-equipped lecture halls, scientific laboratories and computing machines. There are also hotels and decease-prevention facilities. The University runs a doctorate course in such specialities as: mathematics, solid state and rarefied gas physics, philosophy, sociology, history, literature and Russian language , a post-graduate course in 50 scientific specializations. There are 3 specialised Learned Councils which grant Doctor’s degrees in philosophy, history, philology and 4 Councils which grants Candidate of Sciences degree in 10 specialities. Fundamental sciences dealing with the Universe, matter and nature, man and society are being developed successfully. The scientific schools of mathematical theory, of optimal control, of incorrect problems theory, of algebra structures, of physics of metals, of rarefied gas dynamics, of stellar astronomy, of photosynthesis problems and of ecology have won world-wide recognition. The schools of history of the Byzantine Empire, the study of literature, of toponimics and arts history are also widely known. The scientific subdivisions of the University employ 170 staff research workers (9 doctors, 50 candidates of Sc.) and 560 part-time researchers ( 103 doctors, 160 candidates of Sc.). Scientific work is conducted in close co-operation with the institutes and scientists of the Urals Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The University is well-known for its organisation of numerous scientific research expeditions which are of great interest to scientists and scholars all over the world. Of these, mention should be made of the Urals Archaeological expedition, the Crimean archaeological expedition, the ecological and physiological expedition, the geobotanical expedition and the toponimic and folk-lore expeditions. Due to the activity of the Urals archaeographical expedition a depository of ancient books - one of the largest in the country - has been set up. Winter student scientific schools in mathematics, physics, astronomy have become a regular tradition. They are organised during the students’ winter holidays at rest homes and in the Astronomical Observatory situated in a picturesque region of the Urals on the bank of the Chusovaya river. The astronomical school usually attracts many students and scientists from all over Russia and CIS countries. Ural Regional Center of Informatization Head - Vladimir E. Tretjakov, Dr.of Physics-and-Mathematical Sc., Associate Professor. Fax: (7-3432) 55-59-64, Phone: (7-3432) 55-24-73 Ural Regional Center of Informatization (URCI) leading division of the University in the field of computer, network and information technologies, including Distance Education technologies. The Center staff consists of 26 persons: programmers, mathematicians, engineers and operators. Ten experts (graduated from Urals Universities) have more than 10-years experience of work in the field of computer-information and computing systems. Two of them has scientific degree "Candidate Of Physical-And Mathematical Sciences". URCI has own a network system of 140 computers, manage operation and development of the university backbone, provides support and development of the base information services. URCI is the developer and responsible executor of the basic projects, carried out by Urals State University, in the field of computer networks and data transfer. Telecommunications The USU has a University Computer Network with more than 600 computers that link all the departments of the USU via fiber optic channels. The network provides e-mail service, a WWW server and enables direct access to Internet for all users. The Urals State University is the official node of the Russian University Network (RUNnet) in the Urals. RUNnet links the largest Russian universities via high speed satellite channels and has direct access to international networks (the bandwidth of the USU's channels is now 256 Kbit/sec, and it will probably be increased to 2Mbit/sec in the near future). The regional government plans to make the USU the center of the Regional Educational Network. This program started in summer 1995 and linked Ekaterinburg's 13 universities via speed data transmission channels. Distance Education The university's Distance Education Technol-ogy Center (DETC) began its activity in 1995 as part of the university's development program. Our goals are to design and implement new information technologies at all levels of education; to extend university education to a wider audience; to accelerate the integration of the USU into the worldwide educational, scientific, and cultural system. DETC main activities: Proposals for Cooperation Dear colleagues! We welcome cooperative projects connected with the EDE system. We invite you to collaborate with us. We will be glad to hear about your experiences, to share ours, and to start joint research projects and joint grant applications in the field of EDE. Thank You.
