The article considers the National Research University «Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology» (MIET) as a center for training researchers in the context of its contribution to the development of high-tech sectors of the economy. The empirical basis of the study comprises data on the topics of dissertation works and the corresponding scientific specialties. The selection of dissertations was carried out on the basis of a verification criterion. The research methods include content analysis, classification, comparative analysis, generalization, and systematization. A systematic analysis of researcher training at MIET through the prism of dissertation topics makes it possible to reveal the role of the university in training highly qualified researchers for the development of high-tech sectors of the economy and ensuring the technological sovereignty of the country, including through the creation of applied solutions oriented toward implementation in the real sectors of the Russian economy. It has been established that 105 dissertation studies defended at MIET in ten scientific specialties during the period of increased sanctions pressure (2021–2025) cover strategically significant areas of the economy, including micro- and nanoelectronics, nanotechnologies, condensed matter physics, technologies for the production of materials and electronic devices, automation and control of technological processes, as well as computing systems, software, and computer modeling. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained results by public administration bodies in the development of measures aimed at improving the efficiency of researcher training.
