RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS OF RUSSIA AND BULGARIA JOIN EFFORTS

A delegation of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (“RFBR”) headed by Academician V. Ya. Panchenko, Chairman of the RFBR Board, held on October 16, 2009 negotiations with the National Research Foundation of Bulgaria (“NRFB”).
At the Ministry of Science and Education of Bulgaria, the Russian delegation met with the senior management of NRFB headed by Georgi Rusev, Chairman of the Executive Committee of NRFB and a corresponding member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (“BAS”).
During the meeting a number of important matters were discussed: cooperation and joint support to basic research in Russia and Bulgaria.
The two sides exchanged information on the activity of their relevant Foundations to organize competitions to select research projects. Also discussed were the possible topics of future joint competitions which will be finally agreed on after a meeting of experts from the two countries. RFBR and NRFB signed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the main principles and cooperation frameworks of the two foundations. Those taking part in the meeting stressed that Russian-Bulgarian research cooperation was very important for the further development of mutually beneficial economic cooperation between Russia and Bulgaria during ongoing deep socio-economic changes in both nations.
During its stay in Bulgaria the RFBR delegation also had a meeting with the President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Academician Nikola Sabotinov and discussed ways for cooperation between the two Foundations and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
