A conference on the creation and development of the University’s scientific schools was held at the FinU. The participants of the event discussed promising areas of scientific research and identified trends that will help strengthen the position of the FinU as a center of research and innovation in financial sciences.

The scientific research development was presented as a concept at the plenary session of the conference by the Rector of the FinU, who emphasized that the development of scientific schools and science in general is one of the most important tasks of the academic community.
“The experts of the FinU make a significant contribution to the formation and replenishment of the knowledge base as part of basic research, but it is important to make not only basic, but also relevant products in demand by the market: we will give priority to such research in the selection of topics,” said Stanislav Prokofiev.
Among the key priorities, Stanislav Prokofiev highlighted projects in financial and technological sovereignty, digital finance, as well as finance for social protection of citizens and the regional framework of Russia.
“As a strategic direction of scientific research for the FinU, the following can be proposed, “Finance of Russia is an engine of welfare growth.” In this area it is necessary to form extended blocks of research, which will become the basis of the scientific agenda”, - said Stanislav Prokofiev.
Speaking about the measures aimed at improving scientific activity at the FinU, Stanislav Prokofiev emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and expanding the opportunities for self-realization of young scientists,
