Military Educational and Scientific Center

Military Educational and Scientific Center (Russ. Военный учебно-научный центр (ВУНЦ))

Military Educational and Scientific Center (MESC) is a type of the military institution in the Russian Armed Forces, not a single military entity. They were conceived in the 2000s with the objective of amalgamating multiple military academies/schools. Usually, one MESC was planned for an armed forces arm (air force, army, navy, etc.). About 10 MESCs were established.

Example: Russian Air Force MESC Zhukovsky – Gagarin Air Force Academy - this MESC was based on amalgamation of two previously independent academies: Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy and Gagarin Air Force Academy. Also up to ten military flight colleges were included in this MESC as affiliated entities.[1]

Another example: Russian Army MESC[2]
