To further assist its Partners, ISTC is implementing new Fast Track Initiatives that are meant to expedite the technology search that can best fit your innovation needs. Components of our new Fast Track Initiatives include:
Call for Proposals: Partners can now use our Call for Proposal form to better inform ISTC affiliated institutes about its specific R&D/innovation needs with the intent to improve proposal solicitation results (www.istc.ru). ISTC staff with the relevant technology background will assist Partners in the preparation of their Call for Proposals. The same assigned ISTC contact point will also assist/expedite in proposal follow-up, subsequent project development/implementation and project result delivery.
Partner Sponsored Workshops: Partners can now sponsor or co-sponsor workshops with ISTC either in Russia/CIS or at the Partner’s facilities. Workshops are designed to bring together Russian/CIS and Partner experts in a particular R&D field and for specific innovation problems in order to develop Partner projects, assess intellectual property, search literature and know-how, investigate contract research capabilities, recruit human resources or to answer other questions from Partners.
ISTC Partner Coordinators: Each Partner that contacts ISTC regarding Calls for Proposals, Partner Sponsored Workshops or other activities related to Partner project development will be assigned a Partner Coordinator who will act as your main contact point in ISTC. The Partner Coordinators will have a background in the relevant technical areas.
ISTC invites you to take advantage of these initiatives to help us open up to your organization the relatively untapped R&D/innovation resources Russian and CIS have to offer. For further information please contact Ms. Teah Toidze, Customer Care Manager,
