Scientific activity

The development of scientific and innovation activities is central to the implementation of the university's principal mission as a centre of science, education and innovation. As a result, scientific research and innovation is one of the major components in the work performed by the university's academics, staff, undergraduate and post-graduate students. It is an integral part of coursework, refresher training, re-training and, in general, of training highly skilled specialists.

Scientific research is targeted at the acquisition of fundamental knowledge, search for solutions to applied problems, creation of new education , social-and-humanitarian technologies, ensuring a high scientific level of professional training, development of methodological resources for innovations in science and education and putting research and development findings to use.

The target is to ensure training of professionals, researchers and academics meeting world-wide qualification standards, to makean effective use of the educational, scientific-and-technological and innovation potential in order to develop the country's economy and address its social tasks.

Objectives:

  • to create conditions for all subjects of teaching and learning (undergraduate and postgraduate students and the teaching staff) to be involved in the innovation work; to enhance the university’s role as a regional centre of innovation;
  • to have BarSU structural units work more efficiently in addressing social and economic challenges and implementing state and regional scientific-and-technological programs;
  • to set up a Centre of collective use of power-intensive equipment and scientific laboratories which would ensure the development of material and methodological resources of scientific research;
