Moscow Liaison Office

Scientific links with Russia have developed very dynamically in the past years. The DFG maintains particularly close ties to the Russian Foundation of Basic Research (RFFI). The collaboration of scientists from both countries is funded by the DFG through the support of joint projects, short-term research exchange visits by both German and Russian scientists, bilateral symposia and the participation of Russian scientists in scientific events in Germany.

The liaison office is intended to support the further development of these scientific ties by assuming the following functions:

• Be a point of contact for Russian scientists, scientific organisations and funding bodies;
• intensify and develop the collaboration with Russian organisations;
• advise on opportunities for cooperation within the framework of the DFG funding portfolio;
• prepare and hold events to promote cooperation;
• mediate and mentor contacts and collaborations, particularly in the context of supporting young scientists;
• analyse and evaluate scientific policy developments of relevance to the DFG in Russia.

The mutual activities are also envisaged to incorporate the key scientific centres in St. Petersburg, the Urals, Siberia and the Far East.
