Academic "construction" in Perm began in 1971 with the formation of the Department of Polymer Physics of the Ural Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences, as well as divisions of the institutes for plant and animal ecology and economics (Yekaterinburg).

In 1980, the Department of Polymer Physics was transformed into the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics of the Ural Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences (ICMM, UC USSR Academy of Sciences), Corresponding Member Alexander Aleksandrovich Pozdeyev, who is rightfully considered to be the founder of the academic science of Kama region, became its first director.

In 1985, the Institute of Organic Chemistry with experimental production of the Ural Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences was organized on the basis of the Department of Chemistry of the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics of the Ural Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences, renamed the Institute of Technical Chemistry of the Ural Branch of Sciences of the USSR in 1991 (ITC RAS UB).

Perm Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (PSC UB of the USSR Academy of Sciences) was created simultaneously with the Ural Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences by Resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 1088 of 26 September 1987, resolution of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR of 22 January 1988 No. 12 and the Decree of the Presidium of the Ural Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences of 1 February 1988 No. 2.19 on the basis of the institutions of the USSR Academy of Sciences located in the city of Perm:
