COMPETITION TO HOLD JOINT RUSSIAN-TAIWANESE SYMPOSIA 2010/2011

The Russian Foundation for Basic Research (“RFBR”) and the Taipei-Moscow Coordination Commission on Economic and Cultural Cooperation announce a competition for projects to hold joint Russian-Taiwanese symposiums in all areas of basic research (Symp2010 competition).
Symposiums may be held either in Taiwan or in Russia. The number of participants should be at least 12 persons representing the receiving side and at least 6 persons from the other side.
In order to organize a symposium, Russian and Taiwanese scientists participating in the Symp2010 competition will have to agree in advance on the subject-matter of their applications. Project names should be the same both for Russian and Taiwanese applications.
Russian scientists are invited to submit their applications to RFBR while Taiwanese scientists should submit their applications to the National Science Council of Taiwan.
All applications accepted to participate in the competition will undergo an independent parallel merit review: applications by Taiwanese scientists will be reviewed by the National Science Council of Taiwan while applications by Russian scientists will be reviewed by RFBR. Applications will be merit-reviewed by each side independently in accordance with its applicable rules. Information on the merit review process is strictly confidential. A final decision and an award will be made by the two sides jointly. The results of the competition will be announced in June of 2010. Upon agreement on results, the list of projects awarded bilateral support will be published on the RFBR website.
Participation in the Symp2010 competition
Funds provided to a supported project will amount to (on average) 30 thousand dollars per a team made up of Russian and Taiwanese participants and are meant mainly to cover travel expenses (international travel, board and accommodation), organizational expenses as much as they apply to the holding of symposiums and -- whenever necessary -- expenses on internal travel. Funding will be provided by the Taiwanese side based on a tri-partite contract which will be made in each case under the applicable laws of the Russian Federation between the Russian co-organizer of a seminar, the Russian co-organizer's research institution and the Moscow Representative Office of the Taipei-Moscow Coordination Commission on Economic and Cultural Cooperation.
The deadline for submitting printed-out applications is as follows: January 2010.
Symposiums are to be held from August 01, 2010 through July 31, 2011.
The Russian manager of a project must submit to RFBR 2 (two) printed-out copies of the application in the English language by January 20, 2010.
A printed-out application must be accompanied with: personal details of both project managers in the English language, lists of publications by the Russian and Taiwanese co-managers of a project in the English language and information on the project in the English and Russian languages.
The entire information must also be submitted to RFBR in electronic format at the following address: ksv@rfbr.ru
Printed-out copies of applications should be sent to the following postal address:
