“Joint projects are always discussed at such meetings. Today, special attention was paid to Russia’s proposal to develop common approaches to the creation of scientometric databases. And in this regard, the initiative has been generally supported and it was included as part of the Moscow Declaration of the BRICS Ministers of Science, Technology, and Innovation,” Valery Falkov said.
“Cooperation in scientific and technical information within the group involves an exchange of experience and serves as a basis for investment in the future that is capable of accelerating the development of advanced technologies and creating a competitive economy for BRICS countries. In Russia 2022-2031 have been declared the Decade of Science and Technology by Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which programmes to provide comprehensive support for scientific activity and develop international cooperation are being implemented. This makes the agreements we reached today an important step in the development of scientific exchange, taking into account the association’s expansion,” Adviser to the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee for Russia’s BRICS Chairship Anton Kobyakov said.
