EU-Russia: Networking session at the IST 2006 event in Helsinki
FOLLOW-UP promoting EU-Russian networking in IST
The Austrian Research Promotion Agency/European and International Programmes (FFG) and the Association for Engineering Education of Russia (AEER) jointly organised an EU-Russian networking session on 23rd November 2006 at the IST event 2006 in Helsinki:
The session called “Spotlight on Russia in IST” attracted a considerable community of well-informed researchers and other stakeholders actively cooperating with Russia in IST or interested in EU-Russian cooperation in FP7.
The presentations and discussions offered showcases and up-to-date information on ICT research in the Sibirsky Federal District, including the SB RAS, as well as on the St. Petersburg region. Furthermore, several IST support actions promoting EU-Russian collaboration were presented, such as ISTOK, NIS-NEST and SITE – Siberia, Information Technologies and Europe. The audience included a number of Russian researchers and research stakeholders currently staying in Europe, but interested in cooperation with Russia in IST.
Siberia in IST – a booklet
Please note also that FFG compiled information for newcomers interested in cooperation with Siberia in the brochure “Siberia in IST”. This small booklet provides general information on the Sibirsky region as well as specific information on ICT research carried out in this huge, but remote area, presents some showcases of successful EU-Russian collaboration in IST, as well as some EC-funded support actions promoting collaboration with Russia in IST, IST-NEST and INTAS. The aim of the publication is to raise the awareness for opportunities to collaborate in IST among European and Russian, in particular Siberian researchers. The presentations of the above-mentioned networking session were included into this booklet.
The brochure and all presentations can be downloaded below.
