🎓 What would a student from 1920 think if they found themselves at UrFU today?

Over the past 106 years, the university has evolved alongside the city, science, and technology. Imagine a student who began studying in Yekaterinburg in the early twentieth century suddenly finding themselves at today’s UrFU. What would surprise them most?

🤖 Artificial intelligence and machine learning

⚡ Digital twins and intelligent energy systems

💻 Online learning and digital educational platforms

🚁 Uncrewed technologies and robotics

🔬 Modern laboratories and research equipment

🌍 The opportunity to work in international research teams

Or perhaps what would surprise them most would not be the technology at all, but how much the university itself, Yekaterinburg, and student life have changed.

🏛 On 19 October, UrFU marks its 106th anniversary. Over the years, its buildings, academic programs, equipment, and research priorities have changed. Yet the university remains a place where new knowledge, ideas, and people emerge to advance technology.
