2. financing GSI & FAIR Helmholtz Association GSI Proposal FRRC ITEP GSI agreement FRRC Rosatom ITEP ITEP financing Proposal for a Joint Helmholtz-ROSATOM “FAIR-Russia Research Centre” Submitted by Gesellschaft fϋr Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt (GSI) Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Moscow (ITEP)

3. 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; facilitation of the definition of the Russian work packages for 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.; ► Transmission of scientific atmosphere and spirit from the FAIR site to Russia in order to generate a creative environment similar to the one at other research and teaching "beacons", promoting cross-fertilization 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;

4. Russia in FAIRFAIR in Russia • Russia is the key technology partner for FAIR • 550 of the 2500 authors of FBTR come from Russia • FAIR will constitute a unique "incubator" for young scientists and engineers from all over the world • What about the other direction? • How can the FAIR partner countries, especially Russia, directly profit from the spirit at FAIR in Darmstadt? • How can that spirit be transmitted to Russia? • Helmholtz Association and ROSATOM joined forces to set up a FAIR "satellite centre" in Moscow • FRRC – FAIR Russia Research Centre • Will be located on premises of ITEP in Moscow

5. FRRC and the Russian research landscape assigns FAIR work packages Helmholtz Gemeinschaft ROSATOM provide funding and strategic steering Russian partner univ. Russian partner labs Russian industry partners Russian working group for FAIR FRRC FAIR Russia Research Centre provides horizontal coordination research work package specifications and expertise researchers secondment of researchers, students and enginners Russian FAIR work packages (hardware) FAIR Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research

6. Scope of Activities Task 1 – FRRC formal organisation steps Within this task: FRRC will be provided with adequate office space and facilities; FRRC shall be given a legal foundation; FRRC Council and Selection Committee shall be organized; administrative staff will be hired; Scientific Fellowship Program shall be organized and started Task 2 – 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. Scope of Activities Task 3 –Guest programme Within this task the FRRC guest programme will be organised. FRRC wants to offer a unique learning and working atmosphere where people and ideas mingle. Therefore a guest programme is a very important tool to attract short-term visiting scientists both from Russia and abroad; Task 4 – Definition and review of scientific programme The scientific programme at FRRC will be multi-disciplinary and it will cover both detector and accelerator developments and basic research in FAIR related topics. Within this task the science programme will be defined and regularly reviewed. Task 5 – FAIR in-kind programme FRRC will have a structuring effect for the Russian in-kind contributions to FAIR. Coordination, communication, and consulting are the important tasks of FRRC with regard to the in-kind contributions.

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. Expected income • Via the flexible grant structure FRRC is supporting excellent young scientists inside the Russian Federation and thus contributes towards limiting the talent drain and the breakaway of human resources in the field of high-energy physics, but at the same time offering opportunities for young Russian researchers, fully integrating them into the international scientific community, which is becoming increasingly important for Russia today. • In the long-standing German-Russian scientific relationships a new milestone is reached, which will contribute to the mutual understanding of both countries to the benefit of their societies. The ties between Germany and Russia will be strengthened and both countries make a step forward towards novel science funding and knowledge-based societies and markets.

11. State of art and first steps of FRRC 1. Vereinbarung über die Gründung des gemeinsamen “Forschungszentrums FAIR-Russland“ - Соглашение о создании совместного“Исследовательского центра ФАИР-Россия” (ITEP – GSI Agreement was signed on September 18) 2. Territory around ITEP building 40 (FRRC location) were extended. The roof of building 40 was renovate. The renovation process in rooms assigned for scientists (and scientific equipment) who now working in building 40 is started 3. Documents for forming building 40 as exterritorial ITEP zone from the security point of view are now on approval in highest instance. 4. The team of Russian collaboration leaders was established as a result of discussions with German partners and directors of Russian institutes. Work under the FRRC scientific program is started in close cooperation with all team members.

12. Governance and management structure of FRRC The administrative body shall consist of four employees and an IT expert. It is responsible for general accounting, grants, travel expenses and all expenses related to the build-up and renovation of the premises and for the utility costs, the acquisition of technical and scientific infrastructure, and consumables for FRRC and for IT services.

13. Personnel costs for the first three years of operation

14. 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.

15.

18. Expected income • FRRC will provide a single leverage point for the Russian participation in FAIR FRRC will coordinate and streamline the Russian contributions to the FAIR project and take care of the timely delivery and commissioning of Russian hardware and intellectual contributions to FAIR. • The multi-disciplinary character of FAIR research will come to life in this centre and it will promote cross-fertilisation among the different Russian science communities. FAIR will secure a pool of selected young Russian scientists to conduct outstanding experiments at FAIR; • Via the flexible grant structure FRRC is supporting excellent young scientists inside the Russian Federation and thus contributes towards limiting the talent drain and the breakaway of human resources in the field of high-energy physics, but at the same time offering opportunities for young Russian researchers, fully integrating them into the international scientific community, which is becoming increasingly important for Russia today. • In the long-standing German Russian scientific relationships a new milestone is reached, which will contribute to the mutual understanding of both countries to the benefit of their societies. The ties between Germany and Russia will be strengthened and both countries make a step forward towards novel science funding and knowledge-based societies and markets.

19. FRRC activities (2/2) Later more activities will be added: • R&D and designs for FAIR accelerator components • Development of detector components • Theoretical work towards FRRC research • Technology transfer and high-tech spin-offs • Public outreach Would be great to perpetuate the funding for FRRC to be able to look beyond 2010
