The Museum of Animal Husbandry and the Soil and Agronomy Museum are members of the ICOM International Council of Museums. Joining the international family contributes to the popularization of museums, introduction of information and communication technologies in their activities.
The E.F. Liskun State Museum of Animal Husbandry under the leadership of O.I. Boronetskaya maintains strong partnerships with one of the oldest and largest natural history museums in Europe - the State Darwin Museum. The structures hold joint exhibitions, share experience, and celebrate professional holidays together.

The rector thanked the guests for the visit and noted the great potential for joint activities of the university and the company. The head of the university told about the directions of scientific and educational activities of the university.
Vladimir Trukhachev stressed that Timiryazevka is the only agrarian university that participates in the elite track of the state program "Priority 2030". Projects of international scale are implemented by the world-class scientific center "Agrotechnologies of the Future", created on the basis of the university. The Timiryazev breeding and seed production center works extremely efficiently.
In turn, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of "Al-Firdous" Salah Hantoush told about the activities of his company. He thanked the university staff and personally Rector V.I. Trukhachev for warm welcome and expressed readiness to establish close ties with the advanced agrarian university. Such partnership, in his opinion, is intended to give a positive effect for the agrarian industry of the Republic of Iraq.
The parties agreed that Russian Timiryazev State Agrarian University will participate in a joint pilot project on revitalization of agriculture in the Republic of Iraq. The University will organize agrochemical analysis of soil, based on the results of which recommendations on land use, irrigation, selection of grain crops will be developed. These recommendations will form the basis of the wheat breeding program in the Republic of Iraq.

"For his great contribution to the development of national science, many years of fruitful activity and in connection with the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Russian Academy of Sciences to award the Order of Alexander Nevsky to Vladimir Ivanovich Trukhachev - Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences," the text of the document says.

The integral rating took into account 615 universities subordinate to federal ministries and departments, regions and municipalities, as well as non-state universities. This is the largest base of regularly analysed Russian higher education institutions.
The Timiryazev Academy takes the 37th spot. The Russian State Agrarian University became the unqualified leader among agrarian universities in the list, almost twice exceeding the scores of the nearest pursuer - 26 against 14.

Mr. Zhang Hanhui, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to the Russian Federation, welcomed the invitees. Mr. Ivan Ivanovich Melnikov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, spoke on behalf of the Russian side.

“The Best at AGROS” contest traditionally honors the most popular and adapted solutions for the Russian agricultural market.

According to the results of the contest, 3 developments of scientists from the Timiryazev Academy were among the best. In the nomination "Best Scientific Development AGROS-2024", according to the jury, the project on evaluation of the biosafety system of the pig breeding and genetic center, whose authors included the Rector, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Vladimir Trukhachev, Professor of the Department of Private Zootechnics Ivan Svinarev and Professor of the Department of Veterinary Medicine Natalia Kulmakova, deserved the highest evaluation. The innovativeness of the development lies in the scientific substantiation of the bio-safety assessment system to improve the efficiency of the pig breeding industry.

In the nomination "The best fodder solution of AGROS-2024" the grand prize was awarded to coriander cake developed by scientists of the University and produced by Alushta essential oilseed farm. It is used for feeding farm birds, rabbits and ruminants.

In the new nomination "Best Veterinary Solution of AGROS-2024" the grand prize was awarded to the method of diagnostics of postpartum dysgalactia syndrome in pigs developed by Evgenia Latynina, Associate Professor of the Department of Veterinary Medicine, and Professor Georgy Dulger. The new method is based on the use of remote infrared thermography of the mammary gland of pigs and suckling piglets.

The agreement provides for interaction between Timiryazev Academy and TAVROS in the sphere of educational activities, realization of scientific, technical and innovative projects. The parties are mutually interested in agro-biotechnology, molecular and cell selection, plant physiology and biochemistry, agrochemistry, soil science, plant protection and protective and stimulating complexes.

TAVROS Group has achieved great results in the industry, and further development will be facilitated by close cooperation with science and education, joint projects to train modern specialists. The head of the university called the choice of the Timiryazev Academy as a partner of the agricultural holding correct and logical.

In 2023, the Timiryazev Academy joined the Code of Ethics in use of AI as part of the annual Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics Forum "Generation GPT. The Red Lines". The practical implementation of disciplines in this field is led by the digital department of the Timiryazev Academy across several professional retraining programs.

During the professional development program "Neural Networks in Python", under the direction of Associate Professor Anna Ukolova, participants master the technologies of data collection and analysis in agriculture and the specifics of developing models of artificial neural networks of various architectures. Also they study the fundamentals of neural networks' construction and practical application using the Python programming language for both numerical data and image analysis and video stream processing.

In the professional development program "Artificial Intelligence Methods in Python for Animal Feeding" under the direction of Professor Nikolai Buryakov, participants gain experience in optimizing the diets of agricultural animals using machine learning in Python.

Professional skills in creating and applying big data and machine learning technologies relevant to agrobiotechnology development tasks are acquired through the "Machine Learning Methods in Agrobiotechnology" program. The implementation of the program is led by the university's leading experts - Associate Professors Vadim Demichev and Mikhail Cherednichenko.

Participants of the professional development program "Creating Digital Twins in Hydrotechnics" engage in the development of algorithms to solve the set engineering tasks in hydrotechnics according to the requirements of the technical specification, as well as the development, design, and debugging of program code using elements of artificial intelligence. The program is supervised by Associate Professor Vasily Fartukov.

To develop AI infrastructure at the university, the Research Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence Systems in the Agro-Industrial Complex has been established. The Center focuses on integrating educational, scientific, and industrial practical activities of the university in the field of artificial intelligence to create new high-tech products for industrial consumers in the agricultural sector.
