History reference
Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies traces its history to the Voronezh Institute of Technology, founded in 1930. It was the first engineering institute in the city. It was supposed to train engineers for the production of starch, molasses, sugar and alcohol, conduct research in these industries, develop equipment, and new technologies. By the beginning of the 1940s the number of students exceeded one and a half thousand people.
The outbreak of World War II made adjustments to the measured life of the school. Most students and staff went to the front. The war changed not only the training program for engineers, but also the research topics of the institute. Its employees took part in the development of rocket propellant components for famous Katyushas, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs.
After the war, scientific work intensified. Outstanding scientists were a number of employees of the institute: State Prize laureate Professor Malkov, professors Knyaginichev, Chastukhin, Ptitsyn, Ivannikov, Novodranov and others.
In 1975, the institute began training foreign students from all over the world. And in 1994, the Voronezh Technological Institute was transformed into an academy. In 2011, the Voronezh State Academy of Technology was granted university status.
