NIMS concluded an agreement for scientific and educational cooperation with Moscow State University (MSU), Russia. MANA will host several PhD students of materials science, physics and chemistry departments for their PhD studies for several months starting from this fall.
MSU was established in 1755 and is regarded as the highest educational institution in Russia. MSU has produced 11Nobel Prize laureates out of 18 Russian laureates.

MANA has been advised to place special effort into bringing in graduate students in various ways since MANA is the only non-university organization among the WPI centers. This agreement is part of the MANA’s efforts to bring in bright students across the globe.
