The next Academic Council of the Presidential Academy took place.

      May 4, 2026 1:33 PM Society At the beginning of the meeting, the director of the institute, Ekaterina Lebedeva, presented a letter of appreciation to the head of the statistics and education quality department of NIU, Natalia Sergeevna Zuikova, for her active participation in the interregional competition "Analyzing Statistics." The competition was organized by Nizhny Novgorod Statistics in 2026. The Council approved higher education programs - master's programs for the 2026-2027 academic year.

      Among the new master's programs:

      State management of regional tax policy (in collaboration with the FNS LAB academy)

      State regulation of guardianship and custody (in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Development and the NGO "Children in the Family")

      Legal support for the use of AI (implemented jointly with the NEIMARK IT campus).

      "These new programs emerged in response to requests from regional ministries and market analysis. Moreover, due to the relevance of the topics, the emphasis was placed specifically on partnership. Both the ministries and the NEIMARK IT campus are interested in qualified personnel for their sectors. For students, accordingly, these are new niches and employment opportunities. Moreover, previously unknown niches - such as a lawyer in the IT field," said the director of the Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Management of the Presidential Academy, Ekaterina Lebedeva.
