" Strategic approach to future collaboration between the EU and Russia in nanotechnology"
A strategic approach to international R&D collaboration requires detailed knowledge of the innovation systems and research foci of the participating regions in order to identify collaborative activities with maximum benefit. Based on the NANORUCER project (www.nanorucer.eu) first results of mapping the Russian nanotechnology innovation system will be presented and possible fields for future collaboration between the EU and Russia will be discussed.
