What is a Partner?


A Partner is a person, company, foundation, academic and scientific institution, department, or other organization from one of the parties to the ISTC, which agrees to fund a research project to be implemented by ISTC in Russia or the CIS, and whom the ISTC Governing Board approves.

How to Become a Partner
To apply for partnership, submit a letter with the following information on your company/organization letterhead:
1. Company/organization full contact details
2. Brief summary of your company/organization and related activities
3. Statement of acceptance of ISTC’s non-proliferation objectives
The ISTC Secretariat will consult with the Party where the company is located. After the nomination letter from the corresponding Party is received, the ISTC secretariat will forward the application letter to other ISTC Governing Board members for 30-calendar day consideration. If there are no objections raised by the members of the Governing Board, a Partner is considered approved and can begin to participate in ISTC activities.
Furthermore, during that period, a potential partner can still utilize the Technology Search Service as described in our Partner Package and start working with ISTC.

Rules & Regulations
The ISTC Governing Board reviews and approves partner-funded projects.  ISTC Partners should submit a statement that they have read and accepted the Principles for Partner Participation in ISTC activities to the ISTC.  This is an essential step to assure the Parties that Partners understand the objectives of the Center and are committed to conduct projects consistent with those objectives.
