  1. The MIT-Skoltech InitiativeBuilding the Future of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology

  2. Overview • MIT is enthusiastic about Skoltech’s vision, mission and concept. • MIT is working closely with Skoltech to help build its faculty, students, research, education, entrepreneurship and innovation, and administrative structures and programs. • We encourage others to join and help Skoltech in this effort.

  3. Skoltech Mission and Vision • MISSION • To have educational, scholarly and economic impact in the Russian Federation and around the world, • By educating leading graduate students and conducting research programs to address key challenges in science, technology, engineering and innovation, • Using a fusion of exceptional talent, and building the university to be an integral part of the Skolkovo innovation ecosystem. • VISION: Bridges from Science to Innovation • Research with both a firm foundation in fundamental research and a consideration for innovation that bridges functions to bring ideas to impact • Education for innovation that grounds students in fundamentals and the innovation process, so that they can be leaders in bridging ideas to impact

  4. Skoltech Concept • CONCEPT • Creation of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) in Russia—an independently-governed, research-intensive, graduate university integrating science, engineering, technology, and innovation • KEY COMPONENTS: Triple Helix • Graduateeducational programsorganized around broad themes rather than traditional academic disciplines, integrating science and engineering • Multi-university, multi-disciplinary research focused on important problem areas • Industrial impact by integrating education, research, and practice in entrepreneurship, innovation and commercialization

  5. Skoltech—Integrating Education, Research, and Innovation

  6. Research with a Consideration of Innovation • Collaborative efforts partnering Skoltech with both international and Russian institutes (universities and Russian Academy of Sciences) • Concentrated excellence in one of five strategic themes, solving real problems in biomedicine, energy, IT, nuclear, and space • Building capacity at Skoltech and attracting top talent • Integrating education and accelerating innovation Each center fundedat $6-12mUSD/year • GOAL • Discover new ideas and develop new technologies that address the pressing needs of members of society and society as a whole, and which build upon fundamental science and technology, yet are guided by a consideration for innovation • STRATEGY: Create at least 15 Centers for Research, Education, and Innovation (CREI)

  7. Skoltech Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Engage Skoltech with industry, both existing and new (startups) Adapt and implement best practice models, policies, and mechanisms from MIT and elsewhere at Skoltech Education and student programs Administrative and interface functions Commercialization paths
