This specialization is targeted at teaching students how to run spinoff companies, manage innovation research, arrange technology transfer from the university labs to the industry,basics of consulting in the hightech area, etc.The curriculum for this program is based onthe twostages scheme: first, Bachelor, then MasterDegree.

Students at the first stage must completethe Bachelor program at the Faculty of Physics. Thesyllabus also includes a number of economic coursesand a course of business English.After successful completing the Bachelorprogram, the students can continue their studiesunder the Master's Program. Besides the requiredcourses providing fundamental knowledge in physics,they must attend a number of courses on choice inthe field of finance, economy, management, and law.After completing the entire program, the studentsreceive the diploma and are awarded by the Master'sdegree from the Faculty of Physics.One of the key activities of this division ismanagement of specialization for the students ofPhysics on «Physics and management of scienceF A C U L T YO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .L O M O N O S O V.M O S C O WS T A T EI N I V E R S I T Y40I N T E R N AT I O N A LC O L L A B O R AT I O NI N T E R N AT I O N A LC O L L A B O R AT I O NThe Faculty of Physics is an essential part of theworld scientific community.

Our faculties perform research within the frame of more than 80 collaborative agreements with the universities and scientific centers worldwide, actively participate in various international projects under umbrella of theRussian and international funding agencies.SOME FOREIGN PARTNERSOF THE FACULTY ARE LISTEDIN THE TABLE BELOW:AZERBAIJANMaxPlankInstitut furQuantenoptik, GarchingIn international collaborative research wepursue the following two key goals.PhysikalischTechnischenBundesanstalt,Braunschweig und BerlinFirst, we are interested in collaboration withthose research centers and universities worldwidewho offer research opportunities complimentary toours.

Collaborative efforts between theoretical andexperimental groups are also greatly welcome.Second, in the international exchange of students those joint programs with foreign partners arepreferred, which enable our students and postgraduates to compliment their research at MoscowState with the research at the partner's laboratory.Baku State UniversityGERMANYJohannes GutenbergUniversity, MainzInstitut fuerFestkorperforschung,Forschungszentrum, JuelichMartinLuther University,HalleWittenbergF A C U L T YO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .L O M O N O S O VM O S C O WS T A T EI N I V E R S I T YI N T E R N AT I O N A L41C O L L A B O R AT I O NUniversity of UlmDepartment of Earth andPlanetary Science, CaliforniaUniversity, BerkeleyGERMANYHumboldtUniversitat zuBerlinSPAINUSADepartment of Physics andAstronomy, Georgia StateUniversity, AtlantaUniversity of ValensiaUniversity of MessinaNational Taras ShevchenkoUniversity, KievITALYPolitecnico di MilanoKAZAKSTANTHE UKRAINESea Institute of Hydrophysicsof the National Academy ofSciences of UkraineInstitute or Nuclear Physics,National Nuclear CentreHarbin Institute ofTechnology, HarbinFINLANDUniversity of HelsinkiXiamen University, XiamenUniversity of ProvinceexMarseille, MarseilleDalian ScientificTest&Control TechnologyInstitute, DalianLouis Neel NationalLaboratory for ScientificResearch GrenoblePeking University, BeijingUniversity of Bordeaux I,BordeauxCHINAKOREAMONGOLIANETHERLANDSPOLANDFRANCEChungnam NationalUniversity, DaejeonDepartment of LiquidMechanics, Acoustics andEnergetics of Ecole Centralede LyonNational University ofMongoliaLaboratory of AnnecyleVieux of Theoretical Physics,CedexUniversity of AmsterdamInstitute of Atomic Energy(OtwockSwierk) andInstitute of PhysicalChemistry, Polish Academyof Sciences (Warsaw)SWITZERLANDInternational Laboratory ofStrong Magnetic Fields andLow Temperatures, WroclawSINGAPORESLOVAKIASwiss Federal Institute ofTechnology, LausanneBlekinge Institute ofTechnology, KarlskronaSWEDENNational University ofSingaporeRoyal Institute of TechnologyChalmers University ofTechnology, GoteborgComenius a University,BratislavaToyohashi University ofTechnologyDivision of Physics,Mathematics andAstronomy, CaliforniaInstitute of Technology,PasadenaJAPANTohoku UniversityWaseda UniversityUSACenter for Industrial andMedical Ultrasound, AppliedPhysics Laboratory,University of Washington,SeattleF A C U L T YO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .Since 1950, more than 3,500 foreign studentsfrom 83 countries graduated from the Facultyof Physics, M.

Along with the fresh students, manygraduate students and faculty members participatein this event, as well. The «dedication» is organized onone of the weekends in September. On Saturday, inthe morning, participants of the «dedication» camping trip gather at the Faculty and then go together bya suburban train to the suburb of Moscow wherethey set on the «freshman's path» in the woods.

Thetrip consists of several parts. At the end of each partF A C U L T YO FP H Y S I C S•M .V .there is a check point, where one can learn the nextdirection to go only after taking part in a number ofvarious contests like problemsolving, racing mountaintop, nettle handling, singing, etc. In the evening,the dedication ceremony itself takes place on acampsite in the woods. The contest winners areawarded with different prizes, and all the freshmenare put on the oath afterwards. The dedication procedure ends up with the joint singing of the Faculty'shymn «Dubinushka», followed by dancing, campfiresinging, etc.Since 1974, the Faculty hosts «The FirstSnow» festival, which lasts for a few weeks and wherethe students take part in traditional contests likeamateur singing, photography, poetry, and, justrecently, in skifflegroups and website design.

TheFestival ends with a universityscale galaconcert, inL O M O N O S O VM O S C O WS T A T EI N I V E R S I T YT R A D I T I O N S44which winners of the various contests present theirperformances.The most favorite holiday among students ofPhysics at Moscow State is the renowned «Day ofPhysicist», traditions of which go back in 1960, whenit used to be called «The Archimedes Day». Its program featured the famous Greek scientist and its keypart was the opera under the same name composedand performed by students of Physics.Regularly, the «Day of Physicist» is celebrated in the early May, but preparation starts much earlier. On the day of celebration all classes are canceled.The afternoon program starts with the festive procession of students to the monument of MichaelLomonosov in front of the Faculty (and MSU) buildingin order to honor the name of the great Russian scientist, the founder of Moscow State University.
