-        Regional target-programme “Informatization of executive authorities in Stavropol region”.

The scientists of NCSTU also take part in international projects and programmes. These are joint Russian-Canadian research projects; scientific investigations with the company Samsung Electronics, Technical University of Chemnitz and University of London nanocentre.

The university has 12 research departments (research institutions, scientific and production centres, research laboratories etc).

For the past few years 25 international, regional and university conferences have been held with researchers of different scientific branches participating.

The university scientific research results are regularly presented at scientific and technical exhibitions of different levels. Thus the university presented 33 exhibits at VII Moscow International Salon of Innovations and Investments and was awarded with 5 bronze and 3 silver medals.
