Best among equal - equal among the best!
Moscow Technical University (MIREA) (Russian: Московский технологический университет, romanised: Moskóvskiy Tekhnologicheskiy Universitet, often abbreviated MIREA) is a Russian Technical University.
It was founded in 1947 as All-Union Correspondence Power Institute, and in 1967 the government resolution of June 30, 1967 No. 588 transformed it into Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation which started day-time students training.
The University is the member of the Association of Top Industrial Managers for Europe (T.I.M.E.), the Association of Sino-Russian Technical Universities, the International Association of Universities, the European Association of Research Managers and Administrators and some others. The University academic programs are certified according to the international standards.
The University cooperates with more than 50 hi-tech production enterprises on the basis of which the departments of the University function. MIREA houses modern scientific laboratories and educational centers, student's design offices as well as academies of leading global manufacturers (Cisco, Microsoft, EMC, VMware, Huawei, etc.)
On September 1, 1947 according to the Order of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of May 28, 1947 the All-Union Correspondence Power Institute of training and advanced study of engineers in Moscow started its work having branches in Leningrad, Kiev, Baku, Tashkent, Sverdlovsk and Novosibirsk.
VZEI was the leading research institute in the system of correspondence education in power and radio engineering specialties. It trained engineers for the industry, including new power industries. Its branches and training and counseling centers became the background for the technical institutes in Omsk, Kemerovo, Kiev, Kirov and some other cities.
Carrying on the traditions of the Russian engineering thought, VZEI altered its functions according to the requirements of science and technology. In the course of its activity there were formed many directions of educational process, the structure as well as the academic staff of the modern technical higher educational institution. So, in the early sixties due to the need of expansion of specialists training in radio electronics and electronic equipment VZEI developed the transition from mainly power direction to high technologies.
