  1. research-educational center ‘baikal’ alexander arguchintsev [irkutsk state university] p j

  2. Approach 1: focused on a separate and important direction of investigations. • Approach 2: focused on a separate and important object of investigation paradigm: interdisciplinarity • Approach 1: focused on a separate and important direction of investigations. • Approach 2: focused on a separate and important object of investigation

  3. WHY INTERDISCIPLINARITY? • anextremely important and complex natural object • a number of separate and incoherent investigations • conducted by different organizations • a non-trivial situation around Baikal • importance of effort co-ordination lake baikal Math simulation • a Russian national treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage Site • a fifth of the world's unfrozen fresh water • deepest (1,640m) and oldest (25 million years) freshwater lake • 23.000 cubic kilometersof water volume (more than in Baltic Sea) Geographic investigations Geological investigations Limnological investigations Biological investigations

  4. potentiality • Russian • Academy • Of • Sciences • Russian • Universities + = young blood for RAS institutes / research for education

  5. bureaucratic frontiers reality • Russian • Academy • Of • Sciences • Russian • Universities =

  6. institutes of • SB RAS • irkutsk state university a soft way for integration! paradigm: integration • research • educational • center

  7. multidisciplinary research coordination • multidisciplinary & joint advanced education • networking • lake.baikal.ru, a multipurpose portal basic activities

  8. essentially, the center is the system of research educational units • a REU: • as a rule: focused on a specific research topic • a collaboration of personalities from different institutions • interdisciplinarity – via REU interaction • 6 REUs are working • 14 REUs are being designed • 11 instititutions are involved in collaboration • REU-1 Paleoclimate study for better environmental change prognosis; • REU-2 Study of geological and tectonic processes for decreasing risks and nature disaster aftermaths; • REU-3 Study of physical and chemical processes of forming natural waters in the Baikal region; • REU-4 Structural and evolutionary study of ecosystems of water bodies in the Baikal region; • REU-5 Mesoscale models of hydrothermal processes and anthropogenic admixture transferring in atmosphere and hydrosphere; • REU-6 Geo- and bioinformatics technologies in Baikal investigations a research educational unit partner 2 re-unit irkutsk state university partner 1

  9. an interdisciplinary research problem interdisciplinary interaction REU-A REU-C REU-B

  10. target groups: • postgraduate students • PhD students • junior researhers • teachers • researchers • forms: • research grants • preparation of monographs • preparation of courses • participation in events competitions • competitions are the basic principle of money distribution • ~80% of REC’s money goes through competitions • levels: • research • education

  11. development of lake.baikal.ru international collaboration managemet & events organization other expenses

  12. networking • enormous territory distributed ISU infrastructure is needed • 11 research stations – but MONODISCIPLINARY • necessary to develop a MULTIDISCIPLINARY stations network A

  13. automated stations

  14. gLOCalization REC • the REC ‘Baikal’ young people brainstorming result CASE + further interdisciplinarity natural & humanitarian research collaboration

  15. general architecture

  16. education through research • postgraduate & PhD students • interdisciplinary network packages of courses • RE- & IE-labs • competitions • motivation increasing • general public education education

  17. students & junior researchers are • the key target group, and • the energy generator of the center new generation junior researchers participate in the REC ‘Baikal’ workshop at Bolshie Koty, Lake Baikal, 2006

  18. competitions for young people • selection and support of most gifted and committed • motivation increasing and ‘dynamization’ • teamwork and team building

  19. interface for chemists interfaces between courses interface for mathematicians interface for biologists interdisciplinary network packages INP course 1 course 2 course N

  20. students in chemistry students In mathematics students in biology INP: joint problem solving an interdisciplinary practical problem

  21. german students russian students software for eLectures swiss students collaboration services eLibrary, etc. INP: a virtual component virtual component of INP course 1 course 2 course N lake.baikal.ru

  22. REU-A REU-C REU-B INP: REUs’ collaboration course 1 course 2 course N joint development of a INP

  23. limnoecology • baikalian siberia • international summer school, Aug 2007 INP: pilot projects

  24. ecological knowledge in common use • lake.baikal.ru information resources • education of local people through research stations • special activities for secondary schools • professional skills improvement general public education

  25. the basic virtual platform of the center • rus & eng versions lake.baikal.ru lake.baikal.ru eLibs, QA-systems, DBs, knowledge processing project management, eLearning social projects data & knowledge collection & distribution specific web-services networking information support

  26. monodisciplinary & interdisciplinary problem solving within REUs • development of INPs and international students teams joint teaching • virtual joint projects through lake.baikal.ru • development of lake.baikal.ru resources external linkages

  27. monodisciplinary & interdisciplinary problem solving within REUs • development of INPs and international students teams joint teaching • virtual joint projects through lake.baikal.ru • development of lake.baikal.ru resources international cooperation

  28. discussion on the REC ‘Baikal’ conception at EAWAG, Zurich, Switzerland May 2007 ‘shuttle’ visits to international partners

  29. the roundtable “REC ‘Baikal’ as the innovation model for research and education integration” at the Baikal Economic Forum Feb 2007 regional impact

  30. Kolmakov (REC ‘Enisei’) is consulting junior researchers from the Buryat State University 1st REC ‘Baikal’ workshop Bolshie Koty June 2006 cooperation with other RECs

  31. future work • the ambition of development of the international research & educationl interdisciplinary center focused on Lake Baikal • advanced virtual part based on lake.baikal.ru • further academic institutions & unoversities convergence
