In the modern world international cooperation in science, technologies and innovations constantly expands, being one of the priorities of the state policy. International cooperation is essential at the regional level. One of the most important directions for achieving the goal of the integration of the Russian science into global processes of the science and technology progress is the development of collaboration with foreign partners. Thus, positioning in the international scientific space is one of the vital tasks in the Institute’s development.
