The coordinator of the consortium became the Center for Social Studies at the Dortmund University (Germany).
In 2013 the project “Social innovations: driving force of social change” (SI-DRIVE) was supported, and VolRC RAS, the only participating institution of social profile from RAS, became a member of the major international research and technical program for research and technologies development.
