The Russian Prime Minister called the completion of the Synchrotron Radiation Facility - Siberian Circular Photon Source "SKlF" a "big event"

Among the important topics are the technological sovereignty of the country, key achievements in science, modernization of colleges, updating curricula and the implementation of a new model of higher education. Special attention in the report was given to achievements linked to Novosibirsk Region - one of Russia's leading scientific and technological centers.

"A major event in the scientific sphere has been the completion of the megascience class facility - the Siberian Circular Photon Source. And in Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, nothing similar was created", noted the Prime Minister.

What it means for science and industry:
In 2026, the first experiments will begin at the SRF "SKIF" (Koltsovo Science City);
- Research results will accelerate the development of new drugs and materials;
- Technologies will be applied in microelectronics, aircraft and other critical industries. "We are building a strong link between science and industry to ensure promising ideas are implemented in practice", the Head of Government of government summed up.

Why this matters for Novosibirsk Region?

The Siberian Circular Photon Source is a key project for the Novosibirsk Region, which is of strategic importance for the development of science, technology, economy and infrastructure in the region. This is a megascience class installation that will become one of the most powerful sources of synchrotron radiation in the world. SRF "SKIF" will largely predetermine the development of scientific research in the Novosibirsk Academgorodok for decades to come. The construction of the complex contributes to the formation of a "world-class scientific town" in the Koltsovo science city. There will be an accompanying infrastructure for sample preparation and data processing, which will ensure a full research cycle.

SRF "SKIF" will not only promote science, but will also become a catalyst for technological development, economic growth and the formation of an innovation ecosystem in the Novosibirsk region.
