inclusive education
For twenty years CSU successfully performs the system of inclusive education. It is the basic institution in the Urals Federal District, providing special conditions for invalids and people with disabilities training: annually more than a hundred students with disabilities get a degree here, and that is 80% of the number of students with disabilities in the Chelyabinsk region, who require special conditions for education. Staff of CSU structural unit, called the Regional Training and Research Centre for Inclusive Education, developed an adaptive system of preliminary training, which involves the use of specialized equipment, adaptive information and communication technologies. Barrier-free environment, established in CSU, allows students to move freely within the educational buildings and by the adjacent territory.
“Together” is a project of active social assistance, operating in CSU. This social network unites everyone who needs help and wants to help. Over the year the organizers have risen through the ranks from the idea to a stable project, and have presented the project at IT-school and Eurasia Forum in Yekaterinburg, received grants from charitable foundations of Oleg Mitiaev and Vladimir Potanin. Project manager was a CSU graduate Nikolai Olkhovskiy, the participants are students and graduates of CSU and other universities, who are not indifferent to the problems of people with reduced mobility: not only young men in wheelchairs, but also young mothers, pensioners and others.
University experience is appreciated at the educational and administrative levels. Diana Tsiring, the CSU Rector, has become a member of the Council for the Disabled under the Governor of the Chelyabinsk region, and CSU organizes the biggest events in this field.
Thus, in 2014 CSU held an international scientific-practical conference on inclusive education, where representatives of the Ministry of Education of Russia and Federal Education and Science Supervision Service participated. In 2015 CSU held the regional stage of Abilympiks, the world's largest skills competition featuring persons with disabilities. Within the framework of the competition participants and guests can attend different interactive platforms: IT-future platform showed high-school children and students of vocational secondary institutions about CSU opportunities in this area, and Career Podium platform became the job fair for persons with disabilities. On the round table the interaction between social partners to ensure access to vocational training and employment of disabled people of the Chelyabinsk region labor market was discussed.

the inteRnational coopeRation
CSU devotes a lot of effort to keep up with the latest innovative trends in education. This would not be possible without intense international cooperation, both with European and Eastern countries. CSU encourages periods of study and practice sessions abroad. On the other hand, a great number of international students are coming to CSU to pursue their education. To secure the international academic mobility, CSU has created a network of more than 40 partnering universities in Europe, Middle East and China, which includes University of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg (Austria), University of Applied Sciences Kiel (Germany), Lille University of Science and Technology (France), University of Montpellier 1
(France), Catholic University of Eichstatt – Ingolstadt (Germany), JAMK University of Applied Sciences (Finland), University of Limerick (Ireland), International Telematic University UNINETTUNO (Italy), Antonio de Nebrija University (Sapin), Autonomous University Chapingo (Mexico), Shenyang University (China), Liaocheng University (China), and others.
Nowadays, CSU has obtained academic mobility through various exchange programs for students, postgraduates and professors. CSU is an active participant of EU programmes, TEMPUS in particular. It has been a member of several projects (“The strategy of management in High school in order to facilitate the accessibility of education”, 1995-1998; “Regional strategy of
education for disabled students and the students living in distant regions”, 1999-2001; “Providing accessibility and integration into the system of education for students with limited physical abilities”, 2001-2003; “Development of Qualifications Framework for the System of Higher Education in the Urals Region”, 2008-2011; “HUMAN Security (environment, quality of food, public health and society) on territories contaminated by radioactive agents”, 2012-2015) which aimed at bringing closer the educational systems of Russia and the EU. Working in TEMPUS, CSU has unique possibilities to establish contacts with the leading European universities and realize scientific and academic projects.

univeRsity science
Today in CSU there are more than thirty scientific fields, many of them are integrated in the scientific schools. All university research and innovation activities are supported by collaboration with leading research centers, foundations and organizations in Russia and abroad. Year after year, the number of scientists is working in terms of the Grant of the President of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Chelyabinsk region, RFBR, RHF research funds, is growing. In 2005 Vasiliy Buchelnikov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, in collaboration with the V.A. Kotelnikov Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics (IRE RAS, Moscow) established
the Physics of Magnetic Phenomena Laboratory, where both theoretical and experimental research are carried out. Prof. Buchelnikov is also a founder of the scientific school on the study of magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of magnetically ordered alloys with shape memory and the use of such alloys in magnetic refrigeration technology. The school has repeatedly received grants of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Russian Science Foundation grants, the President of Russia grants for young Doctors of Sciences, Soros Foundation grants, the Governor of the Chelyabinsk region grants, the Universities of Russia Program grants, CRDF grants (US Civilian Research and Development Fund). Buchelnikov’s school participated in the
implementation of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research grants (RFBR), RFBR-Ural, RFBR-Japan, RFBR-India, and RFBR-China.
In 2014 a scientific school of computer topology under the direction of Sergey Matveev, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, received a Megagrant of the Russian Government. For the first time such support had
16
univeRsity science
been provided to the South Urals university. CSU opened a world-class mathematical laboratory for topology in quantum research. “This area of fundamental science is closely related to Quantum Mechanics and to gradually developing theory of quantum computers. So far these computers exist only in models, but if they have been done, it will transform the entire world,” said Sergey
Matveev, the Head of the Department of Computer Topology and Algebra, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
A scientific group of Institute of Industry, Business and Administration, studying Russian small and medium-sized businesses success factors, received a prestigious Russian Research Institute Foundation grant. Students are actively involved in all the research that enriches the educational process.
For many years Chelyabinsk State University has been cooperating with a number of defense industry enterprises: conducting joint research and development activities, training courses, organization of internship. Cooperation agreements with the Russian Federal
Nuclear Center of All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Technical Physics named after Academician E.I. Zababakhin, Mayak Production Association, Pribor Plant, and Ural Automobile Plant are being carried out.
Ties with the Design Bureau named after Academician V.P. Makeyev State Rocket Center are being strengthened. In 1996 a CSU branch in Miass was established with bureau support, and today more then a thousand people are being educated there. State Rocket Center is developing rocket and space technologies for satellite output in outer space and for missile submarine fleet. Thus, CSU students studied Continuum Mechanics, Aerodynamics
and Hydrodynamics, Gas Dynamics, Combustion Theory, Heat Transfer, Mathematical Modeling of Complex Physical Processes could be in demand there. The Department of Applied Mechanics is successfully functioning on the basis of the enterprise.
Students are largely involved in scientific work both as participants of research and development of their mentors and as initiators of scientific projects.
Thus, the CSU Faculty of Chemistry is working to create a unique component of the eco-friendly pure fuel cell. Scientific activity is developed in the framework hydrogen energy, the scientific direction popular all over the world. The development of a unique proton-
17
permeable membrane for the fuel cell is holding here. The advantages of the technology are environmentally friendliness and high efficiency associated with the direct conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. Compactness, portability and relative simplicity of the design of the fuel cell, as well as Sun energy usage for reactants production (oxygen and hydrogen) allows to attribute the technology developed to the technologies of the future.
CSU ecologists together with the European Union are seeking ways of rehabilitation of radioactively contaminated areas. The Faculty implements the actual
direction of Master Degree on radiation safety by the European Union TEMPUS Program, in terms of which relevant research is conducted. Environmental Reception Office on the base of the CSU Faculty of Ecology is innovative for the whole region. The current training program for environmental inspectors allows students to participate in environmental raids: they take samples of water and air in the factories and in water protection zones, monitor the illegal felling of trees. The Faculty has developed the method of estimating the degree of air pollution on the snow cover, which allows measuring the dynamics of the emissions of the industrial enterprises, as well as the contribution of
factories and road transport in the current level of pollution. This method is successfully using now.
Now, scientists of the Radio Physics and Electronics Physics Department develop new metamaterials and composite structures. Metamaterials are new functional materials. They may be applied in the refining industry as a part of the thermal catalysts, in radioelectronics - to create anechoic chambers, in medicine - for equipment of tomographic cabinets. Also thermal removal of tumors and treatment of localized bacterial infections may be realized with the help of nanoparticles.
The Inter-university Medical and Physical Center has been working for nearly 20 years, uniting
almost all Chelyabinsk laser medicine. It is functioning with the help of several organizations: CSU Laboratory of Medical Physics, SUSMU Laboratory and City Hospital № 1. Recently Children's Hospital, Chelyabinsk Regional Hospital, City Hospital № 5 and a number of private centers joined the project. The CSU Faculty of Physics provides technical, repair
univeRsity science
18
univeRsity science
and design support. University experts provide advice upon delivery of equipment. The Medical Technologies Small Innovative Enterprise is created at CSU.
The main inventions of the enterprise are laser medical technologies, about 20 of which have been patented and implemented. For example, photodynamic cancer therapy with new photosensitizer is the first anti-cancer treatment in Russia. Students and graduates of CSU Faculty of Physics are not only involved in the assembly and testing of laser equipment, but they also control the laser during operations: calculate modes and set characteristics. Now two fiber lasers are undergoing clinical testing in the center. On this basis, the thulium fiber
laser with wavelength about two microns has developed. The Medical Physics Center was the first to create lasers of this kind.
The region's first project-based learning laboratory of the Institute of Information Technologies (ILab), equipped according to the latest European standards, is successfully functioning. Students are conducting scientific research in the field of robotics and creating different apps for smartphones. Shandy: Pocket Schedule Android app is very popular among the students of CSU and other universities. Cat-robot, which managed to react on human’s movements, was one of the firs creations of the Lab.
CSU humanitarian faculties pay a lot of attention to the field of international relations. This training program is conducted by two structural units of the university. The Faculty of History and Philology is peculiar because of the large number of courses on the foreign history and culture, as well as contemporary world politics, practice of business negotiations and business communication, with the increased focus on CIS and the countries of Western Europe and North America. For 17 years the Faculty of Eurasia and East has been providing skilled staff training for the organizations of international relations
between Russia (Eurasia) and countries of the East: China, Japan, Korea, Turkey and the Arab region, which are important strategic partners of our country.
Linguists are also proud of their relations with foreign countries: the Faculty of Linguistics and Translation signed cooperation agreements with French, German and Chinese universities, offering free programmes for students in the framework of exchange semesters. Except numerous languages, the Faculty offers a wide range of translation subjects (technical translation, literary translation, translation for guides, consecutive and simultaneous interpre-tation, the basics of
19
business communication), intercultural communication training programmes, including tourism and PR field of study.
Archeology is actively developed. Archaeological expedition of CSU students working in the South of the Chelyabinsk region discovered ancient nomad burials. Burials belonged to the so-called Sarmatians who were roaming around the steppes of the South Urals in 2-3 centuries BC.
Moreover, the archae-ologists of Chelyabinsk State University completed the exploratory research in Agapovsky, Kizilsky and Bredinsky districts of Chelyabinsk region. The results of the expedition have strengthened the
scientific status of Arkaim museum expanding its touristic and educational activity.
In August, 2015 C h e l y a b i n s k S t a t e University held the 51st session of the Council of Botanical Gardens of the Urals and the Volga region. The event, which had been held in the South Urals for the first time, became a landmark for the CSU Botanical Garden and the whole Chelyabinsk. Representatives of botanic gardens and arboretums of the region discussed the aspects of genetic diversity c o n s e r v a t i o n , p l a n t introduction, land law, land use and interaction with municipal authorities, and solved the questions of

Chelyabinsk State University was the ground for the first archeological school in Chelyabinsk. The first field season was opened in 1977 under the leadership of Gennady B. Zdanovich, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor. In close cooperation with the Faculty of History students worked in labs: archeological practices, lectures and special courses, engaging the participation in the research process. Hundreds of pupils and students took part in archaeological expeditions; their achievements were marked by awards and prizes at regional and national student conferences.
In 1987 one of CSU expedition troops had discovered Arkaim, a fortified settlement of the Bronze Age dated III-II thousand years BC. The research team of a new
type, including geologists, soil scientists, biologists and other specialists in related disciplines, was formed as a result of Arkaim complex research.
In 1997 Academic Center of Human Beings and Nature was founded based on Archaeological Laboratory. Currently, the Center includes training and production Department of Archeology, Ethnography and Socionatural History, Laboratory of Biocenosis and Environmental Monitoring, the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography, where a unique exhibition is created based on the results of CSU expedition and showing the history of the Southern Trans-Urals from the Stone Age to the ethnographic present.
In 2013-14 CSU Academic Center of Human Beings and Nature conducted archaeological excavations
in the village of Stepnoe, where the burial mounds of the Bronze Age are situated. Also CSU archaeologists held excavations on the banks of the river Miass, where artifacts of X-XIII centuries BC had been found.
Nowadays Arkaim is known as an outstanding cultural monument Arkaim-Sintashta on the most ancient urban territory of the South Ural (“Country of Towns”). The investigation of Arkaim settlement and burials has contributed to the metallurgy of copper development, steppes economic development, architectural history, military affairs and wheel-making. Arkaim is the part of intellectual culture dating back to the era of Indoeuropean unity.
The discovery of Arkaim and Sintashta identified the establishment of a special research area in Archeology
and ancient history of Eurasia, stimulated the development of major international projects.
Nowadays, Archeology, History, Linguistics and Ethnology, Paleography and Paleobiology, G e o a r c h a e o l o g y , Culturology, Religion and Philosophy study the phenomenon of “Arkaim”.

“chelyabinsk” meteoRite
Chelyabinsk State University played the essential role in the study of “Chelyabinsk” meteorite. On February, 2013 celestial body had fallen and CSU physical scientists conducted studies on mass determination of precipitated material and examined meteorite dust. They helped the Chelyabinsk region Ministry of Environmental and Radiation Safety to find the largest part of the meteorite in the lake Chebarkul. The scientists have determined the structure of the bodies recovered from the bottom of the lake, and their origin in laboratory conditions.
Alexander Dudorov, the Head of the Theoretical Physics Department, Professor, and Sergei Zamozdra, Assistant Professor, collected about 3 kg of invaluable material. The exact composition of the celestial body and its appearance also
had been determined; X-ray and chemical analysis had been performed.
Representatives of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the Japanese Space Security Association Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI Institute), and Commission of the International Astronomical Union visited Chelyabinsk State University to study
the fragments which were in the possession of CSU laboratories. As a result, “Science”, one of the most prestigious scientific journals, published an article devoted to various aspects of the “Chelyabinsk” meteorite examination. The researches of Chelyabinsk State University Alexander Dudorov, Sergey Haybrahmanov and Alexander Maier
coauthored. NASA Space Flight
Center awarded the Robert Goddard Highest Prize for contributions to the Astronomy science to Nikolay Gorkavyi, the professors of Theoretical Physics Department, and Alexander Dudorov. Also one of the asteroids was named “Dudorov” in honor of Alexander E. Dudorov by the decision of the International Astronomical Union.
In 2016 CSU presented the book “Chelyabinsk Superbolide” edited by Nikolay Gorkavyi and Alexander Dudorov. The publication is dedicated to the three-year anniversary of the meteorite fall. It is focused on the wide audience: readers will find the latest scientific ideas, new hypotheses, as well as original stories and personal experiences of participants of the first searching expeditions.
