                     COORDINATED SCIENCE CENTRE

       The Coordinated Science Centre in Moscow works for the application of
science and research for useful purposes. It has a broad programme of activities
and can perform various researches. There are 10 departments in the Centre. The
laboratories of these departments carry on investigations on the basis of
advanced facilities. The Centre also has a few experimental plants. More than
3000 staff members are engaged in individual and group researches. Research
teams are organized to work at a specific problem to be solved coordinating the
skills of scientists, engineers and economists.
       The present activities of the Centre include research programmes in solid
state physics, semiconductor physics, advanced automation, communication
systems, computer-aided design, human-computer interaction, information
science systems, energy studies, man-machine systems, studies of the human
environment. Integration of research with education has been a decisive factor in
the distinguished reputation enjoyed by the Centre. Both graduates and
undergraduates cooperate with staff members in research activities, and concepts
developed through research are reflected in the instructional programme at all
academic levels. The close contact of higher schools with the Coordinated
Science Centre introduces students to the latest achievements in science and
engineering, and helps them to learn modern research methods and handle the
most complex equipment.
       The Coordinated Science Centre may be considered a multinational
organization. It is supported by the governments of several countries. In some
fields the very nature of the work may demand facilities which a particular
country does not possess. Space exploration with joint flights is one example of
this approach. That is why the Centre cooperates with research laboratories in
Germany, Poland, Bulgaria and some other countries. There is a special
committee at the Centre which holds symposia, conferences, seminars, and
meetings aimed at increasing international research cooperation. The study of
the ocean, the atmosphere, the inner structure of the earth, environmental
protection, health protection and other global problems can be solved only if
scientists of many countries unite their efforts.
