A MegaScience class experimental complex at the University

Abstract

In the classification of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in the National Project “Nauka” (2018), the concept of MegaScience is the name of a class of unique scientific installations, and in general terms, these are large expensive international scientific and research complexes for solution of actual scientific problems. It is emphasized that world-class breakthrough research is impossible within the framework of one university or organization, without attracting multi-billion budgets. However, the practice of MEPhI shows that it is possible to construct the unique scientific installations and to achieve results comparable to the largest international projects within a university in cooperation with other Russian and foreign organizations.
