  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. 1. Paleoclimate study for better environmental change prognosis. • 2. Study of geological and tectonic processes for decreasing risks and nature disaster aftermaths. • 3. Study of physical and chemical processes of forming natural waters in the Baikal region. • 4. Structural and evolutionary study of ecosystems of water bodies in the Baikal region. • 5. Mesoscale models of hydrothermal processes and anthropogenic admixture transferring in atmosphere and hydrosphere. • 6. GIS and bioinformatics technologies and mathematical methods in study of Baikal. REU

  5. 7. Comprehensive interdisciplinary studies of natural processes using unique large-scaled facilities: Baikal Neutrino Telescope 8. Research and introduction of plants for biodiversity conservation and improvement of people welfare REU

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

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

  8. 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

  9. development of lake.baikal.ru • international collaboration • management & events organization • REC English language courses • ISU journals • Skills improvements (every year) other expenses

  10. 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

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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. Joint research projects (Swiss, Germany) • International summer schools (ecology) • Joint educational projects (2 diploma DAAD grant for Kiel-Irkutsk, 2011-2012) • virtual joint projects through lake.baikal.ru • development of lake.baikal.ru resources international cooperation

  18. Skolkovo – Andrei Mantsivoda • Nanotechnologies – regional application to Rosnano (just now) Commercialization
