Saint Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics

Saint Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, abbreviated as SPbSU ITMO (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́ргский госуда́рственный университе́т информацио́нных техноло́гий, меха́ники и о́птики) is a leading Russian technical university located in St. Petersburg, Russia. It trains specialists in cutting-edge technologies directed to science and technical development.

St.Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics was founded in 1930, though its history started in 1900 when special school for masters of precision instruments and optics was opened. The University formation was brought about by the growing needs of the country for qualified specialists in instrument-making. Today, the University has more than 10,000 students, 30 academic departments and about 1000 teaching-staff. The main University building is in Kronverksiy pr.,49. Since 2009 the University has the title of the National Research University.
