INTAS CALLS FOR COOPERATION
Speaking of the Association’s activity Richard Burger said it had been founded and headquartered in Brussels in 1993 to preserve and promote the valuable scientific potential of the USSR after it collapsed. From the very first days, INTAS has tried not to let scholars quit their homeland and lose their international links. INTAS does not finance single scholars but promote their international cooperation. Today, INTAS operates in 45 countries. 33 of them are donor-countries. Its financial budget makes up €70 million. INTAS’s aim is to prevent the brain drain and keep “the European scientific area”. The organization’s structure is simple and far from bureaucracy. The main condition for granting is the foreign share in projects.
NASA president, academician Mahmud Karimov wished every success to INTAS in its generous activity and thanked Richard Burger for thorough information. He expressed confidence that Azerbaijani scholars will successfully collaborate with INTAS.
