Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University: from a Teacher
Training College to a Federal University
In 1948, the Kaliningrad State Teacher Training Institute was opened in
Kaliningrad. The first cohort was quite small and was comprised of only 161
students. In 1966, in connection with the enlargement of its educational area,
the Institute was transformed into the Kaliningrad State University. Later, the
institution was renamed twice: in 2005 - Immanuel Kant Russian State
University; and in 2011. After receiving the relevant status, the University
was renamed Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU). The IKBFU
today is one of the nine federal universities in Russia and a leading
educational institution in the Kaliningrad Oblast. More than 16,000 full-time,
part-time, and post-graduate students attend courses at the University in more
than 300 degree and non-degree programmes. The IKBFU is a member of the
Association of Traditional Universities of Russia and also one of the founders
of the Association of Russian Higher Education Institutions for entering the
World Education Space. The University has partnership relations with leading
Institutions of Higher Education (HEIs) in Europe and the USA, and
participates in the implementation of large-scale programmes of academic
mobility.
Present-day Kaliningrad is an interlacing of the German past and the
Russian present. Until recently, these were strictly separated; the pre-war
3
history of the land was under a ban due to ideological
reasons. Today, the chief trend has been an attempt to
perceive the historical heritage in its integrity, to move
from the separation of Koenigsberg and Kaliningrad to
a single vision of Koenigsberg - Kaliningrad, a city
with a remarkable fate. This motive is embodied in the
activities of the IKBFU that retains the memory of its
predecessor – Koenigsberg University. Koenigsberg
University was opened on August 17, 1544 by Duke
Albrecht Hohenzollern, and in 1656 the University was named "Albertina"
after its founder. In spite of the fact that the IKBFU and Albertina are two
different educational institutions that belong to different historical periods and
even states, one can trace historical links and symbolic continuity between
them. The Baltic Federal University is even named in honour of the great
philosopher, a graduate and a well-known Professor of Albertina – Immanuel
Kant.
The University infrastructure comprises 32 campus buildings in which
classrooms, lab units, dormitories, a botanical garden, and facilities for
students' academic internship and recreation operate.

European Business School
The International system of European Business Schools - EBSI
(European
Business
Schools
International) was established in 1965.
It comprises more than a dozen
educational
institutions
located
throughout Europe – namely in Madrid,
Dublin, Milan, Munich, and also in the
USA and China. The Head School that
determines the education policy of
Business education is located in Paris.
In Kaliningrad, its equal partner is the European Business School of the
IKBFU.
Being a constituent part of the University, the European Business School
is successfully implementing its major study area – "Economics",
specialization "World economy". This is the only in the region curriculum of
economic specialization that is implemented in two languages at the same
126
time that enables the graduates to apply the acquired skills in their
professional activities at an adequate level.
The unique character of the school manifests itself, first and foremost, in
the appropriate combination of European and Russian curricula. The system is
built in such a way that the students in their third and fourth years of
education go to study abroad. During a term, students meet and study together
with students from different countries: French, Spanish, Italians and other
bearers of different cultures thus
enriching their vocabulary and
receiving an invaluable life
experience.
The Russian curriculum is
based on the national standards of
higher education. These include
the mandatory studying of
advanced mathematics, history,
legal studies, and other general scientific and general professional subjects.
The aim of the European Business School of the IKBFU is to train
qualified and competitive economists-managers who are to be able to work at
the 21st century enterprises.
The European Business School enrolls applicants to the full-time and
part-time (distant) courses of study within the curriculum "Economics",
specialization "World economy", and also on Master's degree courses: 1)
"Economics", programme "European economics and entrepreneurship", 2)
"Management", programme "Innovative systems of business development".
The history of establishment and development:
The European Business School as a higher education institution started
functioning in Kaliningrad in 1994 implementing the programme "World
economy".
In 2011, the EBS became part of the IKBFU as its structural unit.

Centre for Non-Linear Chemistry
Director: Professor Vladimir Vanag
The world is becoming more and more complex, and linear dependences
that we used to be satisfied with earlier cease working today. The non-linear
frame of reference is becoming more and more significant. This frame of
reference was implemented in different theories which are called Dynamical
System Theory, Nonlinear Dynamics, Complexity Theory and Catastrophe
Theory, Synergetics, Theory of Dissipative Structures Development, Chaos
Theory and Theory of Coupled Oscillators etc., and also in such widely
known notions as Chaotic Attractor, Fractals, Self-organization, Turing
structures and many others. The Centre for Non-Linear Chemistry (CNLC) is
implementing and developing those concepts relating to complex (oscillatory)
chemical systems of the type of Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction that takes
place within a structured medium. In such a medium, the self-assembly at the
nano- and micro-levels facilitates the process of self-organization at a higher
level. The Centre researchers would like to see a chemical computer as a
result of this self-organization, functioning on the principles of neural
networks (artificial intelligence) and also intelligent customizable materials.
The Centre was established in 2012 by Doctor of Physics and
Mathematics Vladimir Vanag who returned to Russia from Boston where he
worked for over 13 years. At present, the Centre for Non-Linear Chemistry is
a well-equipped laboratory where both theoretical and experimental works are
carried out. The Centre's researchers (A. Lavrova and I. Kozenkov) give
lectures on biophysics sectors connected with neurodynamics, complex
systems, mathematical modelling and current physical and chemical
techniques.
The Centre for Non-Linear Chemistry maintains contacts with
Laboratories worldwide, in particular, Laboratories in Germany, Poland,
England, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Belgium and USA. Joint research is also
169
done with Russian scientific centres at the Faculty of Biology and the Faculty
of Physics of MSU, LPI RAS, and the Institute of Applied Physics of RAS
(Nizhny Novgorod).
The major areas of research are:
1. Pulse related time-delayed chemical oscillators.
2. Development of dissipative structures in reaction and diffusion
systems, in particular, in Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction going on in
nanodroplets of reversed microemulsion. Intelligent materials.
3. System of coupled microoscillators. Microfluidics. Customizable
links. Neural networks. Memory. Chemical computer.
4. Compartmentalization of complex chemical systems and information
exchange between compartments.
