Kick off: The BILAT-RUS-Advanced Project
11. Oct. 2012
The project -- ZSI is one of the partners -- will start with a kick-off meeting in Moscow in November 2012.
The overall strategy of the project puts the three main issues of the Capacities work programme into practice. It aims to:
- Provide input for the EU-Commission on the state of EU-Russian STI cooperation;
- Contribute to coordination of the research policies and programmes of European Member States, Associated Countries and the EU-Commission;
- Enhance information collection and dissemination as regards STI between Russia and the EU;
- Raise awareness of researchers in Russia and the EU for cooperation potentials;
- Monitor the existing STI cooperation praxis and facilitate the implementation of a sustainable cooperation support system;
- Analyse the Russian innovation system and provide support for enhanced implementation of R&D results;
- Deliver a feasibility study for a common representation of European scientific institutions in Russia.
ZSI was also a partner in the project BILAT-RUS (http://www.bilat-rus.eu/), a predecessor of the BILAT-RUS-Advanced.
The BILAT-RUS-Advanced supports the dialogue and the coordination of activities between Russian and European authorities, addressing mainly the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (MON), responsible Ministries/Agencies in EU Member States and the EU Commission.
