  11. Main International Programswith IVS IVS-R1, IVS-R4 – sessions carried out twice per week on Monday and Thursday for obtaining EOP; IVS-T2 ‑ sessions carried out once per two or three months for monitoring stations coordinates of the global VLBI-Network; IVS-Intensive ‑ sessions carried out twice per month for obtaining the Universal Time; EURO – sessions organized not rare than once per year; the purpose of this experiment is to determine station coordinates and their evolution in the European geodetic VLBI Network; VLBI-RDV – few sessions during a year for the aim of geodetic source mapping in collaboration with VLBA-Network; CONT – one session every four years for interdaily EOP effects determination http://www.ipa.nw.ru/PAGE/rusipa.htm 11
