3. Why ITEP ? • Core – laboratory of ROSATOM • 30 years scientific co-operation • “sister laboratories - ITEP- GSI • Multi-disciplinary research activities • Strong integration in Russian scientific landscape • International collaborations • Strong educational program

4. Соглашение о создании совместного “Исследовательского центра ФАИР-Россия”18.09.2007. 1 – Предмет Соглашения Предметом настоящего Соглашения является урегулирование отношений Учредителей ИЦФР друг с другом и их совместная деятельность в рамках структуры и работы ИЦФР, в том числе: координация деятельности российских участников ФАИР и руководство работами по разделам программы ФАИР, таким как разработка новых детекторов и ускорительных технологий, проработка физических вопросов для проведения исследований на ФАИР, а также деятельность по определению комплекса работ для российских участников ФАИР;

5. Strategic aims of FRRC ► Coordination of the Russian FAIR research activities and work packages, such as development of new detectors and accelerator technologies and contributions towards physics issues to be explored at FAIR; ► Communication and cross-fertilization between the different Russian FAIR research communities of, e.g., nuclear and astrophysics, plasma physics, hadron physics, atomic physics, applied physics, accelerator physics and technologies, laser induced novel phenomena, information technology etc.; ► Transmit the scientific atmosphere and spirit from the FAIR site to Russia in order to generate a creative environment, promoting cross-fertilisation and competition for both scientists from research laboratories and for staff and students from universities; ►Support for masters and PhD students as well as for post-docs from excellent Russian universities in various fields of fundamental and applied sciences and technology;

6. Scope of Activities Task 1 – Renovation of ITEP building 40 Within this task FRRC will be provided with adequate office space and facilities; Task 2 – Formal incorporation of FRRC Within this task FRRC shall be given a legal foundation; Task 3 – Staff hiring Within this task both administrative and scientific staff (long-term) will be hired; Task 4 – Education and Teaching Within this task FRRC's foremost mission (teaching and education) will be organized. Multi-disciplinary curricula will be developed; Seminars / events Seminar by in-house FRRC students Special seminars by FRRC scientist and by visiting scientists Collaboration meeting by FAIR-Russia collaborations Visit to industries / labs

7. FAIR in-kind-programme – FRRC and the Russian research landscape

8. FRRC organisation The governance and management structure of FRRC consists of a Council to be chaired alternately by distinguished persons from Europe and Russia. Council can meet alternately at the FAIR site in Darmstadt, Germany, and in Russia. Council members will be equally from FAIR, nominees of ROSATOM, Russia, and from Helmholtz Association, Germany. Council defines at regular intervals the scientific objectives of FRRC and shall also provide supervision for the activities of the research centre, including budget and controlling, and nomination of members of evaluation committees.

10. Selection process The Selection Committee (SC) is responsible for FRRC's academic staff. It will ensure the academic excellence of FRRC. The first call for candidates has to contain a clear application dead line and very transparent information on the formal application process which will be defined by SC.
