The choice of priority areas for the development of USU is determined by the objectives of socio-economic development of the Ulyanovsk region, the Volga Federal District and the country as a whole; state needs for the development of critical technologies and promising areas of science; requirements of society, enterprises, institutions and organizations of various forms of ownership in quality education; opportunities for effective use of the existing scientific, educational and innovative potential of the university; world development trends in the field of economics, technology and social communications.

These objectives determined the formation of the key areas of research and development in order to strengthen the position of USU as a developer and manufacturer of innovative products for Russian and foreign enterprises, attracting and retaining the most effective scientists and engineers:

• “Digital production of high-tech products”;
• “Laser technologies and nanophotonics technologies”;
• “Radiation technologies”;
• “Personified Nuclear Medicine”;
• “Robotics”;
• “Health-saving technologies. Ecology”.

Priority areas have become the key landmarks in the processes of transforming science and innovation at USU. The main financial resources are allocated to the implementation of these areas in a targeted way, which has already enabled the university to achieve significant results in most of these areas.

The development of USU in each of the priority areas is carried out in a combination of two traditional areas of activity of the classical university — multilevel education and scientific research.
