It offers a front-line education and an excellent standard of research into social and cultural projects, as well as dealing with the development and reinforcement of the aerospace industry and high technology. In 2015 it was integrated into the SSAU and renamed Academician Korolev Samara National Research University (Samara University).
Objective: To create a new brand and symbol able to convey the new era of Samara University, giving prominence to specialisation, research and development in the aerospace field.
The project: The solution chosen from the various proposals represents the union and independence of the two universities in a single sign. The new symbol is inspired by the gravitational forces in the universe and expresses the precise, scientific intelligence behind every single activity of the University.
