New Year’s greetings from the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Kotyukov, to students, leaders and teaching staff of Russian universities

Dear friends!

On behalf of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and on my own behalf, I congratulate you on the upcoming New Year 2019!

To see off the old year is traditionally taken by summing up. Meet the upcoming year with plans and expectations. We all understand that future success is primarily the result of work done in the past and present. But the New Year holidays are special, which invariably bring a sense of magic and faith in a miracle into our lives, inspire optimism and add strength.

The year of 2019 promises to be rich in events. Russia is preparing to adopt the World Winter Universities Games, the implementation of ambitious national projects “Science” and “Education” also start. The new year will certainly set new goals and goals. I am confident that together we will achieve great success and high results, we will write bright and significant pages in the history of 2019.

I sincerely wish you and your family in the upcoming New Year good health, peace, goodness, happiness and prosperity!

Mikhail Kotyukov,

Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation
