History

It was founded in 1918 as Chemical Faculty of Ivanovo-Vosnesensk Polytechnic Institute.[2] In 1930, Ivanovo-Vosnessensk Polytechnic Institute was split into four independent schools: Ivanovo Textile Institute, Ivanovo Power Institute, Civil Engineering Institute, and Ivanovo Institute of Chemistry and Technology (ICTI). The latter gained a new status in 1992 and was renamed to Ivanovo State Academy of Chemistry and Technology, and in 1998 it was renamed again, becoming Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology.

Education

The ISUCT has a multi-level system of higher education: bachelor – 4 years, master – 2 years, post-graduate – 3–4 years, pre-university programs for foreign students – 1 year. ISUCT provides high-quality training in a wide range of engineering, technological, and natural sciences directions.[3]

Today ISUCT is a team of highly qualified academic and research staff, including honored workers of science, of education and culture, laureates of state and government awards, honorary doctors and professors from leading European universities,[4] honorary workers of higher professional education of the Russian Federation.

It carries out versatile esthetic education of the students and directs a varied programme of entertainment, visiting speakers, social and cultural events, discussion clubs, etc.

Research

Over the years of its existence the ISUCT has turned into a major center of fundamental and applied science. This was primarily promoted by the traditions laid down in different years by the founders of scientific schools and directions: N.N. Vorozhtsov, Ya.K. Syrkin, P.P. Budnikov, E.A. Shilov, K.B. Yatsimirsky, G.A. Krestov, V.P. Vasiliev, A.A. Spryskov, P.V. Moryganov, B.N. Melnikov, V.F. Borodkin, R.P. Smirnov, K.S. Krasnov, V.N. Kiselnikov, V.A. Shormanov, E.M. Rumyantsev, V.G. Melnikov and others. Today their scientific ideas are being continued and developed by leading scientists of the university, including honored scientists of the Russian Federation, honoured workers of the higher school of the Russian Federation, laureates of the prize of the President of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Russian Federation.

The ISUCT pays great attention to the development of youth research projects.[9] In 2019, the ISUCT has received more than 30 patents for inventions and won over 20 grants.[10] Young scientists of the ISUCT regularly win all-Russian and international competitions.[10] In 2019, representatives of the university received one-twentieth of all scholarships of the President of Russia to study abroad.[10]

The journal Macroheterocycles is a forum of the specialists studying macroheterocyclic compounds. It publishes original experimental and theoretical works (full papers and brief reports) and reviews on the synthesis, structure, physical and coordination chemistry of macroheterocycles as well as  on their practical application.

  • Russian Chemical Journal. Journal of the Russian Chemical Society after D.I. Mendeleev

The journal publishes analytical reviews devoted to the problems of chemical science, technology and education, original papers and brief reports. Most issues of the journal are thematic and are devoted to a specific area of science or technology.

The Journal of the Russian Chemical Society was founded in 1869. The first editor was a Russian chemist, professor at the Imperial St. Petersburg University, corresponding member of St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences N.A. Menshutkin (1842–1907).

In 1956 the journal was renamed. The All-Union Chemical Society established the Journal of the All-Union Chemical Society named after D.I. Mendeleev edited by Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Doctor of Chemistry I.L. Knunyants. The journal was published in Moscow in the printing house of the "Goskhimizdat" (State Chemistry Publishing Office). In 1992 after the collapse of the USSR the All-Union Chemical Society (ACS) ceased to exist, and since 1993 its edition was renamed to Russian Chemical Journal.[13] Until 2013 the journal was published in Moscow and was edited by Academician of the RAS Yu.D. Tretyakov (until 2012) and Doctor of Chemistry, Professor of Moscow State University G.V. Lisichkin (2013). In 2013 the rights for the publication of the Russian Chemical Journal were transferred to the Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology.
