The Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation summed up the annual results of the implementation by universities of the basic part of the grant of the Priority 2030 state university support program
118 universities from 50 regions of the Russian Federation will become grantees in 2024. The total amount of financing of the basic part for the next year will amount to 17.98 billion rubles. For comparison, in 2023, the volume of financing amounted to 13.48 billion rubles.
The program creates a competitive situation in the higher education system, which encourages universities to develop. The head of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Valery Falkov commented on the outcome of the distribution of the basic part of the grant:
– As we agreed earlier, the Priority 2030 program is open. This means that those universities that show insufficient dynamics will lose their participant status or be transferred from the special part of the grant to the basic one. Conversely, those universities that are not represented in the program today will be able to apply after having worked it out well
