One of the key research objectives at the university is linked to its staff development. Now the university totals more than 75% of PhDs among its staff. The most important form of research development at a university is a research school: there are 14 of those active at the University showing impressive results and bringing in high academic reputation to its members.

A LIST OF RESEARCH SCHOOLS ACTIVE AT MININ UNIVERSITY:

  • Synthesis, reaction and application of metal-organic compounds.
  • The nature of magnetospheric and ionospheric indignations during the periods of the high-energy feachers caused by solar activity.
  • Invertebrate and vertebrate animals as bioindicators of soil and land ecosystems state.
  • New religious movements (specifically, Russian and European Neopagans are studied).
  • Traditions in the Russian literature.
  • Philosophy of religion and history of philosophy.
  • Pedagogy methodology: Makarenko's legacy and present time.
  • Scientific bases of computerizing and digitalizing of educational process in higher education institutions and schools.
  • Design of educational systems at multilevel institutions for professional continuous education.
  • Methodological bases of future professional teacher development.
  • Technologies of creating the optimizing child and youth environment in polycultural space.
  • Cultural and competence-based strategy of geographical, ecological and geoecological education.
  • Problems of socialization of children and teenagers under conditions of ontogenesis and disontogenesis.
  • Perspective technologies of enterprises management.

The mission of Minin University research schools is promoting achievements of regional and sectoral science, creating informational database for studying the history of various scientific disciplines and preserving the legacy of the outstanding scientists, philosophers and writers who once entered the national elite (Berdyaev, Gorky, Hessen, Makarenko, Rozanov, Shmelyov, Zaytsev, etc.).

Minin University hosts two Dissertation Councils that award various levels of PhD degrees:

  • in Philosophy (History of Philosophy; Philosophical Anthropology, Philosophy of Culture).
  • in Philology (Russian literature; Foreign Literature (Western Europe and North America); Russian Language).

The distinctive feature of research at the university is a close linkage of research subject with the priority directions of national and world science development. Research is often cross-discipline and driven in cooperation with foreign scientists, foreign and national research centers and institutions. Just some of our partners:
