The headquarters of the Presidium of SB RAS	Novosibirsk Science Centre, the largest at the SB RAS, includes about one-half of the Siberian Branch resources. According to the Government’s resolution of setting up the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences adopted in 1957, it was the first to be founded.      Akademgorodok was intended as the world-first comprehensive science centre. Here, according to the SB RAS founders's idea, research teams authoritative in all major fields of basic science were formed.
Science is one of basic radiants of employment of the population in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. There are more then 40 Research and Design and Technology Institutes of SB RAS located on Lavrentyev Avenue (expansion of 2 kms).
Institute of Mathematics	Computing Centre Institute of Computer Science
Mathematical and computer sciences are advanced at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics (Computing Centre), and the United Institute of Computer Science that comprises the Institute of Computational Technologies, Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems and Design and Technology Institute of Data Processing Equipment.
Research in physical sciences is conducted at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, the Institute of Laser Physics, the United Institute of Semiconductor Physics that includes also the Design and Technology Institute of Applied Microelectronics and an associated institute in Omsk, and the United Institute of Automation and Electrometry that includes also the Design and Technology Institute of Scientific Instrument-Making.

Research in life sciences is focused on two directions. Biodiversity and natural resources of Siberia are studied by the Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry, the Central Siberian Botanical Garden, the Institute of Animal Systematics and Ecology, the Institute of Cytology and Genetics and the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry. The institutes engaged in life sciences have greenhouses, vivaria and experimental farms, including a unique collection of genetic pool of native animals.

A wide range of problems in Earth sciences is tackled by the United Institute of Geology, Geophysics and Mineralogy. Four associated institutes are engaged in studies of general geology, petroleum and gas geology, geophysics, mineralogy and petrography.	Institute of Geology
Environmental problems are also studied at the West-Siberian Department of the Sukachev Institute of Forest and the Novosibirsk Department of the Institute for Water and Ecological Problems.      Social sciences are advanced at the Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering, and the United Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy with its associated institutes of Archaeology and Ethnography, History, Philology, Philosophy and Law.
SPSTL	The State Public Science and Technology Library of the SB RAS plays an important role in information supply for research and educational institutions of Novosibirsk, as well as of the whole Siberia and the Far East.The library is the largest to the east of the Urals and stands with the largest libraries of the world in importance.
No wonder that Akademgorodok is a favourite place for arranging regional, all-Russian and international scientific conferences and workshops.
