Open University
St Petersburg University began to publish its reports on all University’s activities in the open access. Among them are the reports on a range of topics: admissions, defences of graduation projects, competitions for the positions of academic staff, and competitions for mega-grants of St Petersburg University to name just a few. The policy of openness concerns all spheres of the University life. This means that the replacement of the positions of professors, associate professors, assistant professors, lecturers, and allocation of funds for research are carried out through competitive procedures. Any information, e.g. programmes and competitions, decisions and documents, and even graduation projects of the University students, is published on the official website.
