In the context of the Russian-German Year of research and educational partnerships in 2018-2020, the parties agreed to organise a seminar in the second half of 2019 so that research team leaders and contributors of the joint projects funded would talk about the results of their projects and discuss with their colleagues further perspectives of joint research activities.
The RSF delegation also visited the third generation synchrotron BESSY II in Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) in Adlershof. This unique research infrastructure is used by the Russian-German laboratory, which staff explained about their research and expressed hope for a more intensive interdisciplinary cooperation among Russian and German teams.
