18 February 2020

Moscow Region, February 18, 2020 – In celebration of the 65th anniversary of VNIIFTRI, members of the VNIIFTRI staff were presented with certificates of honor from VNIIFTRI, thank-you letters from the Head of Solnechnogorsk Municipal District and certificates of honor from the Federal Agency on Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart). The ceremony, in which a total of 89 persons received the awards, was held in the Scientific Council Room.

“VNIIFTRI can be proud of its 65th anniversary. Over these years, VNIIFTRI has been successful in meeting important state’s goals in metrology and science. Today our institute is the largest scientific center in Russia, and the achievements of our scientists have been recognized at the highest international level,” noted Sergei Donchenko, General Director of VNIIFTRI.

The 18th of February, 1955 is the official date of the establishment of the All-Union (later All-Russian) Scientific Research Institute of Physico-Technical and Radio-Technical Measurements, which was the result of merging the Central Scientific Research Bureau of the Unified Time Service, the Central Scientific Research Institute of Radio Measurements and the Central Scientific Research Institute of Physico-Technical Measurements. The measurement of time and frequency became and continues to be the main area of scientific work at VNIIFTRI.

Today VNIIFTRI is the Main Metrological Center of the State Service of Time, Frequency and Determination of Earth Rotation Parameters (GMTS GSVCH), a State Scientific Center and one of the country’s major metrological institutes listed among the strategic enterprises. VNIIFTRI participates in the GLONASS Federal Targeted Program and is a head scientific organization of Rosstandart with responsibility for a range of vital areas.

VNIIFTRI carries out work in the areas of radio measurements, measurements in mechanics, thermodynamics and construction; ionizing radiation; physicochemical and electrical measurements; development and operation of means of metrological support for coordinate-time and navigation systems; acousto-optics and laser optoelectrocics, etc.

Over the past five years, the number and quality of the institute’s measurement standards have significantly increased: four new State Primary Standards have been developed and 15 more have been improved. The national time scale that is formed by GMTS GSVCH has been ranked among the top three most accurate time scales in the world. The State Primary Standard of pH and the State Primary Special Standard of Length are among the five best in their respective fields. Research and development works are now in progress in the promising field of coordinate-time and navigation systems.

VNIIFTRI actively participates in import substitution in the area of high-precision measuring instruments: the institute’s pilot and technical production center now manufactures over 70 types of products.

The institute and its branches have a staff of over 1500 employees, with new members being hired every year from the ranks of young professionals and graduates from over 60 leading Russian higher education institutions such as Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology, etc.
