    The RA Ministry of Education and Sciences and the International Science
    and Technology Center will sign a Memorandum of Understanding tomorrow
    at the hall of the RA National Academy of Sciences presidency aimed
    at co-financing of projects implemented by the ISTC.

    Among participants are Executive Director of the ISTC Adriaan van
    der Meer, RA Minister of Science and Education Spartak Seyranyan, RA
    Minister of Economy Nerses Yeritsyan and President of the RA National
    Academy of Sciences Radik Martirosyan.

    According to the press release of the NAS, the memorandum will give
    the Armenian side the opportunity to make its financial investments
    for the implementation of urgent and significant research projects. The
    signing ceremony will be held on the sidelines of the seminar dedicated
    to transfer of results of research projects to trade to be held on
    April 1-3.

    The ISTC was established in 1992 based on the treaty signed by the
    European Union, the Russian Federation, the U.S.A. and Japan. Norway,
    South Korea, as well as Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
    Belarus and Tajikistan have joined the treaty later on. The ISTC
    supports the non-proliferation of technologies to produce weapons of
    mass destruction.

    Until now nearly 75 research and investigation organizations of
    Armenia have presented more than 400 projects for funding from the
    ISTC of which 154 have received 36.5 million dollars in funding.

    Armenia has been a member of the Board of Directors of the ISTC two
    times. The 17th and 40th sessions of the Board of Directors have been
    held in Armenia.
