Соглашение о создании совместного“Исследовательского центра ФАИР-Россия” 18.09.2007.

1 – Предмет СоглашенияПредметом настоящего Соглашения является урегулирование отношений

Учредителей ИЦФР друг с другом и их совместная деятельность в рамках структуры и работы ИЦФР, в том числе:

координация деятельности российских участников ФАИР и руководство работами по разделам программы ФАИР, таким как разработка новых детекторов и ускорительных технологий, проработка физических вопросов для проведения исследований на ФАИР, а также деятельность по определению комплекса работ для российских участников ФАИР;

Strategic aims of FRRC ► Coordination 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; ► Communication and cross-fertilizationCommunication 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.; ► Transmit the scientific atmosphere and spiritTransmit the scientific atmosphere and spirit from the FAIR site to Russia in order to generate a creative environment, promoting cross-fertilisation and competition for both scientists from research laboratories and for staff and students from universities; ►Support for masters and PhD studentsSupport 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;

Scope of Activities

Task 1 – Renovation of ITEP building 40Within this task FRRC will be provided with adequate office space and facilities;

Task 2 – Formal incorporation of FRRCWithin this task FRRC shall be given a legal foundation;

Task 3 – Staff hiringWithin this task both administrative and scientific staff (long-term) will be hired;

Task 4 – Education and TeachingWithin this task FRRC's foremost mission (teaching and education) will be organized. Multi-disciplinary curricula will be developed;

FAIR in-kind-programme – FRRC and the Russian research landscape

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 Members
