In 2019, by the decision of PJSC Gazprom, the Energy Law Center was established on the basis of the St. Petersburg State University of Economics, which successfully implemented the action plan for scientific and educational activities for PJSC Gazprom and the Gazprom Group companies. Modern realities have shown that for the further development of energy law as a science, for the implementation of educational programs for the training of highly qualified personnel, it is necessary to form a separate legal entity. Taking into account these circumstances, the "Research Center for the Development of Energy Law and Modern Legal Science named after V.A.Musin" was established in the form of an autonomous non-profit organization, which, in accordance with the instructions of the Chairman of the Management Board of PJSC Gazprom A.B.Miller , should carry out scientific, expert, and educational activities in accordance with certain goals and objectives.
