Cooperation between Russia and South Korea in science
and technologies is based on the Agreement between the
Government of the Russian Federation and the Government
of the Republic of Korea on Scientific and Technological
Cooperation signed on December 14, 1990.
The Russian-Korean Joint Committee on Scientific
and Technological Cooperation was established to implement
the provisions of the Agreement. Meetings of the Committee
are held once a year in turns in Moscow and Seoul. The Ministry of Industry, Science and the Technologies
of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Science
and Technology of the Republic of Korea are in charge
of implementing the Agreement. Cochairmen of the Joint
Committee on the level of deputy minister are appointed
by corresponding ministries of both sides. Joint research projects in priority fields of science
and technology, exchange of scientists and specialists,
establishment of joint research and development centers,
joint commercialization of the results of research and
development, information exchange on status and development
of government policies in science and technologies of
the two countries are main forms of scientific and technological
cooperation.
Leading research institutes, centers and universities
(public and private) of Russia and South Korea are participants
of this cooperation. To launch a joint research project
they apply to the corresponding part of the Joint Committee
with mutually chosen research subject. Their applications
are considered by the Joint Committee during its annual
meetings and, if approved, included in the Program of
Scientific and Technological Cooperation between the
countries which enjoys sponsorship and support (including
financial) from the governments of Russia and South
Korea.
Several dozens of joint research projects have been
accomplished since the start of the scientific and technological
cooperation. Another very efficient form of the cooperation
is the creation of Russia - Korea joint research centers
on the basis of leading Russian research institutes.
