Historical background

[edit]

The history of RTU MIREA begins on May 28, 1947 when the Correspondence Institute for Advanced Training of Engineering and Technical Workers of the Ministry of Power Plants and Electrical Industry of the USSR was transformed into the All-Union Correspondence Power Engineering Institute for the Training and Improvement of Engineers (VZEI). It had branches in Leningrad, Kiev, Baku, Tashkent, Sverdlovsk, and Novosibirsk. Later, on the basis of these branches and training and consulting centers, a number of technical universities were opened in Omsk, Kemerovo, Kirov and other cities of the USSR.

The university got the name of the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation (MIREA) on June 30, 1967. The training of engineering personnel for the science-intensive industries of the electronic and radio industry, mechanical engineering and instrument making, automation equipment and control systems started in a full-time mode, not just by correspondence. Nikolai Nikolayevich Evtikhiev was elected Rector of MIREA.

In 1993, MIREA was granted the status of a technical university. Between 1998 and 2013, Alexander Sergeevich Sigov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was Rector of MSTU MIREA, and later, since 2013, he has been president of the university.

The year of 2013 Stanislav Alekseevich Kudzh takes up the position of rector, and a process of combining the potential of research and educational institutions begins: the Russian Research Institute of Information Technologies and Computer-Aided Engineering Systems (the Federal State Budget Institution ROSNIIITIAP) and the All-Russian Research Institute of Industrial Art (VNIITE) (2013), the Moscow State University of Instrument Engineering and Computer Science (MGUPI), the Institute of Professional Administration and Complex Energy Efficiency (IPAIKE) (2014), Lomonosov Moscow State University of Fine Chemical Technologies (MITHT) (2015). Today the latter has the name of Lomonosov Institute of Fine Chemical Technologies.[citation needed]

In 2018, by the decision of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Federal State Budget Educational Institution «MIREA — Russian Technological University» was created as part of the Moscow State Technical University of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation (MSTU MIREA), the Moscow State University of Instrument Engineering and Computer Science (MGUPI), Lomonosov Moscow State University of Fine Chemical Technologies, the Russian Research Institute of Information Technologies and Computer-Aided Engineering Systems (FSI ROSNIIITIAP), the All-Russian Research Institute of Industrial Art (VNIITE), the Institute of Professional Administration and Integrated Energy Efficiency (IPK Ministry of Education and Science of Russia) and the Institute of Modern Educational Technologies and Projects (ISEPP).[6][7]
