SIRIUS /federal territory/, November 27. . Russia today has strengthened the process of restoring scientific and technological interaction in the post-Soviet space. Chairman of the Kurchatov Institute Research Center, Mikhail Kovalchuk, said at the 5th Congress of Young Scientists that cooperation plans are being discussed, especially with Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
“Today we are experiencing not a smooth, but an active restoration of scientific and technological cooperation in the post-Soviet space. I just returned from Uzbekistan, on behalf of our Prime Minister (Mikhail Mishustin) met with the Prime Minister (Abdulla Aripov).
