World-class scientific and educational centre to be launched in Russia’s Tula Oblast
The world-class scientific and educational centre Tulatech (REC Tulatech) is one of the top five winners according to the results of the competitive selection for state funding. Twenty regions of Russia took part in the competition. The Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation announced the winners at their meeting on Thursday 3 December.
According to a decree by Russian President Putin, at least 15 world-class RECs will be created in Russia in the coming years. Such centres are designed to become a base for solving large-scale scientific and technological problems facing the country.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced the other five winners of the competition. The first five research and education centres located in Perm, Nizhny Novgorod, Tyumen, Belgorod and Kemerovo regions have already received grants. More than 700 million rubles have been allocated for this purpose.
Now the following research and education centres are applying for state funding: "Engineering of the Future", "Advanced Production Technologies and Materials", "TulaTECH", "Russian Arctic: New Materials, Technologies and Research Methods" and the "World-Class Eurasian Research and Education Centre".
TulaTECH has united 6 scientific and educational organisations and 11 industrial enterprises. Its activities are based on areas that provide technological leadership in promising areas for the Tula region: weapons and military equipment (DEFENCEtech), civil engineering (ENGINEERINGtech), production and utilisation of composite materials (CHEMtech), organic and bio-organic synthesis, and environmental monitoring and control (ECOBIOtech).
Major cross-cutting technologies of TulaTECH are digital counterparts and platform solutions.
The strategic goal of REC TulaTECH is to create a cooperative structure for the development, production and sale of military, civil and dual-use products and technologies in the Tula region by 2025.
Further development of such centres in Russia will not only fulfil the task set by the President but will also enable Russian science to make progress of global significance, as well as effectively develop the scientific potential of the regions.
