The D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia is one of the leading centers of scientific and innovative research. The university regularly implements projects carried out under federal target programs, as well as numerous grants initiated by scientific foundations. In 2020, the university carried out 202 research projects, with 40 grants from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, and 9 from the Russian Scientific Foundation.[6] As of 2021, MUCTR has more than 120 cooperation agreements with universities and companies from more than 35 countries around the globe.[7] In 2018, under the state program "Industry Development and Increasing its Competitiveness," the university founded the Mendeleev Engineering Center, which now hosts most of its laboratories and scientific equipment. As of 2021, preparations are underway at the Tushino complex to create an innovative scientific and technological center called "Mendeleev Valley". The Mendeleev Valley project was approved by a government decree issued in 2019.[8][9][10]
