The Compendium is addressed at scientists and research organizations in the EU and in Russia who are interested in cooperation with each other, and at policy-makers and science managers who require an overview of the agreements & programmes which underpin scientific cooperation between the EU and its Member States and Russia.
The main objectives of this Compendium are:
- To guide through the science cooperation agreements and instruments with Russia at the level of the EU as well as at the level of the 27 EU Members States,
- To use many opportunities which exist for research cooperation between the EU and Russia, and so as to contribute to the realisation of the 4th Common EU-Russia Space on a practical level,
- To provide overview information about the support which is a available for science cooperation between the EU and its Members States and Russia and also contains summary information about some select pan-European and International organizations.
“There is no doubt that our cooperation with Russia in the area of science is a vibrant and increasingly important part of our overall relationship with Russia. This is reflected in the EU’s and Russia’s shared commitment to work towards the creation of a Common Space in Research and Education, including Cultural Matters”, says Ambassador, Head of Delegation of the European Commission to Russia - H.E. Marc Franco.
