Rustam Minnikhanov: Even during the transition period Kazan Federal University should follow the development program

The development of Kazan Federal University should not stop even during the reorganization and integration period, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov said at the meeting of the KFU Board of Trustees.

Opening the meeting, the Tatarstan President reminded that since the previous meeting of the KFU Board of Trustees in December an important event took place in the university life. The Russian Education and Science Minister, Andrei Fursenko, singed an order for annexation of State University of Humanities and Pedagogy, Kazan State Finance and Economics Institution and Elabuga State Pedagogical University to the federal university. Rustam Minnikhanov reminded that now on the basis of the annexed institutions KFU new structural departments will be formed.

“It is a crucial moment for Kazan Federal University. The real building of the federal university has started; events to unite research and educational potential of the annexed institutions are being held,” the Tatarstan President said.

“The transition period is never easy but even in these conditions we have to follow the development program meeting the deadlines,” Rustam Minnikhanov emphasized.
