🎉 Skoltech is turning 15 this weekend!
Founded in 2011 in partnership with MIT, Skoltech was built to bring science, education, and innovation together into a single, thriving ecosystem.
Over the past 15 years, we’ve come an incredible way. Today, Skoltech attracts thousands of applicants from over 100 countries, and our ecosystem has grown to include more than 180 startups and 150 industry partners.
🦠 Antibiotic resistance is a major global health threat.
In a recent TV BRICS interview, Artyom Isaev, Associate Professor at Skoltech Biomedtech, discusses how phage therapy could shape future treatments.

🤖✨ The future of facilities management is automated!
A new study co-authored by Skoltech, the Moscow Innovation Cluster, and Sber projects the global indoor cleaning robot market to surge 3.6x to $6.4B by 2030, with Russia targeting 23,000 units.

2/2 The study reveals that strong branching is surprisingly independent of maturity timelines, paving the way for high-yielding, early-maturing varieties with higher first-pod placement. Meet the 4 standout genotypes in @FrontPlantSci paper: frontiersin.org/journals/pla…
Ever wonder why you keep rewatching Friends or Twilight when stressed?
Skoltech Neuro Professor Philipp Khaitovich explains that when stress peaks, our brains crave predictability. A familiar plot guarantees our predictions will work out, unlike the uncertainty of something new.
🏆 Skoltech leads Russian universities in top-tier AI research, accounting for ~20% of Russia's A* AI/ML publications (2020–2025), outperforming the nearest university by over 27%, according to @HSE_eng study: scientometrics.hse.ru/en/bri…
Scientists develop an ultra-stable fuel cell catalyst using a five-metal alloy (Pt, Pd, Cu, Ni, Co). Thermal tuning concentrates 75% of platinum on the surface, yielding 4x higher activity and just 22% degradation after 10,000 cycles.
