To provide high quality information education to students, the Institute's staff plans to start developing a scientific basis for creating a mechanism that will allow to incorporate the promising information technologies necessary for providing applied financial and economic education into the educational activities of the FinU.

Our long-term plans include many research areas in ensuring effective innovative public administration in socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, including conducting legal expertise, including, on the one hand, the application of norms of legal responsibility for making a specific financial and economic decision, and on the other hand, the development of an economic scenario of possible forms of administrative and legal support.

Adjustment of the current administrative, tax, budgetary, monetary, and civil national legislation to the new economic realities, as well as implementation of international obligations in foreign economic cooperation, is impossible without development of legal comments on the current norms in the sphere of public administration under consideration and legal justification of changes in them.
