Krasnoyarsk is the home of Siberian Federal University (SibFU), which was created in 2006 by merging several higher-education institutions of the city. The university’s own pages say it was set up to address regional development challenges and to train specialists for the region and the country.
SibFU is based in Krasnoyarsk, and its own pages name the Krasnoyarsk Territory as the region it serves. Its name includes the word “Federal”, which is part of its official designation as a federal university.
Published student and staff totals for SibFU differ considerably between sources, and the number of its institutes or schools is given differently on different pages. For that reason, enrolment figures, programme counts and rankings are best taken from the university’s current official publications.
