The Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SBRAS) was established by the Decree of the Government of the USSR which was based on the proposal of Mikhail Lavrentyev, Sergei Sobolev and Sergey Khristianovich in 1957 as a regional division of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, replacing a previous small branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Novosibirsk State University was founded to serve as a staff base for the Siberian Branch.

Lavrentyev was also the founding chairman of the branch.{{cite web |title=Elsevier to Publish Two Journals With the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences |work=Elsevier |place=Amsterdam, Netherlands |url=https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/research-and-journals/elsevier-to-publish-two-journals-with-the-siberian-branch-of-the-russian-academy-of-sciences |date=22 January 2008 |access-date=28 May 2021}}

History

During the war, hundreds of scientists were evacuated to Siberia, and in 1943 the West Siberian Branch (WSF) of the Soviet Union Academy of Sciences was created. Initially, the WSF allowed scientists to work in various cities. But since 1948, most scientists have been working in Novosibirsk.

Formed in May 1957 on the initiative of academicians Mikhail Lavrentyev, Sergei Sobolev,and Sergey Khristianovich. When the department was organized, it included scientific institutions of the West Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union (formed in 1943),[http://www.misd.ru/museum/wsbranch/ Организация Западно-Сибирского филиала АН СССР] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/20210614124816/http://www.misd.ru/museum/wsbranch/}} misd.ru East Siberian Branch of the Soviet Union Academy of Sciences (formed in 1949),[http://www.nsc.ru/HBC/article.phtml?nid=281&id=8 Иркутский научный центр: как все начиналось.
