Founded in 1900, ITMO is one of Russia’s leading higher education institutions; the university conducts research and provides training in advanced science, information technology, engineering, and humanities. Its main areas of focus are IT, photonics, robotics, smart technologies, science art, and urban studies.
Who we are
Over the past several years, ITMO University has evolved from a specialized technical university into a trailblazer, shaping national education and research policy in Russia. ITMO University isn’t afraid to break new ground and take on the big challenges. Right now, our biggest and boldest project is ITMO Highpark: a $650 million cutting-edge suburban campus along with a major educational, research, and innovative production cluster in the south of St. Petersburg.
Our philosophy, ITMO Code, centers on the idea of the “university of the future.” It builds on the university’s values of respect for the individual, integrity, academic freedom, openness, and love.
