A working meeting with representatives of the European Commission – the Executive Committee for development of research infrastructure and coordination of joint mega-science projects, which are being implemented in Russian scientific centers and JINR, was held on 16 May 2013 in the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation. Meeting participants were received in the JINR Directorate in Dubna on 17 May 2013.
Head of the Department of development of priority scientific and technical fields Sergei Salikhov and his colleagues Head of European Commission Research Infrastructures Department Anna Arano Antelo, European Union experts Ex-Director-General of CERN Robert Aymar, CEA representative Suzanne Gotha Goldman, member of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures Jean Moulin (ESFRI), Professor Steve Myers (CERN), GSI Director Horst Stocker (Germany), Science and Innovation Advisor Richard Burger took part in the negotiations. VBLHEP Deputy Director S.A. Sorin, together with other leaders of mega-science projects, which are included in the Russian programme for 2013-2016, participated in the meeting on the JINR side; he spoke about working process on the NICA project in Dubna.
