  28. PromotingRIs Partnership. Proposals from NCP I • To develop a roadmap for the new and upgraded large-scale research infrastructures in Russia and according to this also to give priority to some particular Russian research infrastructures of common interest for EU and Russia • To develop an interactive map and database of Joint Use Centers in English – this would create opportunities to increase the visibility of research infrastructures in Russia to European scientists. Such database would also facilitate partnering mechanisms for FP7 (Horizon 2020) projects, exchange of researchers. This database should be linked on the European portal of RIs and vice versa • To establish the Russian Forum of RIs similar to ESFRI, and to create an appropriate EU-Russian forum where synergies of RIs can be discussed www.themegallery.com

  29. Promoting RIs Partnership. Proposals from NCP II • To stimulate the access schemes for European researchers to Russian RIs and vice versa through additional support actions. • European academia and industry should use SKOLKOVO and ROSNANO actively and effectively. Those institutions are made for developing innovation infrastructure at international level and their rules for participation are quite convenient. • To encourage e-infrastructures both in EU and Russia; to establish, manage and join up on-line research collections in different research areas; to develop a legal framework or guidelines to facilitate the creation and/or operation of joint research databases. • To initiate specific EU-Russia coordination calls or joint calls in the area of RIs on topics of mutual interest identified by the EU-Russia joint working group on Ris

  30. Research Infrastructures National Contact Point • Established under FP7:::22nd February 2007 by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science on the basis of the National University of Science and Technology "MISIS" (MISIS) • Main mission: to facilitate the cooperation between EU and Russia in the field of Research Infrastructures.
