MEPHI National Research Nuclear University
The National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (formerly the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute) has a rich legacy that began in 1942 with the creation of the Moscow Mechanical Institute of Ammunition. This institution later became a cornerstone of Russia’s nuclear research and education, shaped by legendary scientists such as Igor Kurchatov, a key figure in the Soviet atomic program.
MEPhI has earned international prestige, having been associated with six Nobel Prize-winning scientists: Nikolay Basov, Andrei Sakharov, Nikolay Semenov, Igor Tamm, Ilya Frank, and Pavel Cherenkov.
Today, MEPhI is globally connected, partnering with top-tier scientific and research organizations, including CERN in Switzerland, major U.S. laboratories like Brookhaven, Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Fermilab, as well as leading European institutions such as DESY (Germany), the Max Planck Institute, ESRF and ITER (France), KEK (Japan), INFN (Italy), and the Academic Medical Centre in the Netherlands.
