The "German-Russian Young Researchers Forum" was initiated within the "German-Russian Year of Education, Science and Innovation 2011/12". The two previous editions took place in Moscow (2011) and Halle/Saale (2012). The forum primarily constitutes a dialogue platform covering a wide spectrum of topics related to education, research, innovation and science-based political and societal advice, of mutual interest for Russia, Germany and Europe. The forthcoming 3rd forum takes places in Bonn-Remagen in the frame of the strategic cooperation “Germany and Russia – Partnership of Ideas”, as a follow-up action of the bilateral year of science.
Based on the success of past editions, this year’s forum approaches three thematic clusters more closely:
(a) Presentations and discussions on new, innovative research topics in an interdisciplinary perspective;
(b) New opportunities for science-based advice on post-socialist transition and present transformation processes;
(c) Exchange of experiences on science policy, in the context of international cooperation, innovation and technology transfer.
The added value of the participation consists of gaining an insight into the German and Russian science systems as well as into the instruments of international cooperation. It offers networking opportunities and mutual knowledge exchange on cross-subject topics.
Application and selection procedure
We would like to invite potential participants to submit their application for participation until 14th April 2013. For details please visit the forum's website.
