The Foundation opened its “Sirius Education Centre” in 2015, the objective of which is to identify, develop and provide professional support for children demonstrating outstanding abilities in the arts, sports, and natural sciences, or demonstrating outstanding technical resourcefulness. A Science and Technology Innovation Centre and a University of Science and Technology have been operating as part of the Sirius “ecosystem” since 2019, offering intensive short courses as well as graduate and postgraduate programmes. The Sirius urban district became Russia’s first ever specially designated “federal territory” in 2020.
