Since
1987 during 15 years the Integrated Long-Term Program of Scientific and
Technical Cooperation of two countries, Russia and India is realized. The
mutual benefit which brings cooperation in frameworks of ILTP is marked
and appreciable. The
tendency of global development of science and high technologies, goes on a
uniform cycle: idea – its scientific embodiment - creation of a ready
product - promotion of the product in the international market -
utilization of the product by the end user. This
process demands continuous support by experts of various directions:
scientists - researchers, programmers, managers, economists, lawyers etc.
In this aspect a problem of ILTP projects became absence of an
organizational - administrative component at presence of high level
scientists teams. Time has demanded usage of new forms for the organization of scientific projects, since purely research collectives have no opportunity to carry out all necessary organizational functions. ILTP leaders have fully realized this problem and as the answer to requirements of time the decision on creation of the Russian - Indian Centre for Advanced computing researches was accepted.

The
Autonomous noncommercial organization "Russian-Indian Centre for
Advanced computing research" (RICCR) is created according to the
documents signed at an intergovernmental level in July, 2000. The Centre
was registered as the juridical unit on December 7, 2000. According
to the basic idea of founders of Centre RICCR should become multilevel
Russian-Indian “bridge” for assistance in cooperation between the two
states in scientific, technological, economic and humanitarian spheres. The
Centre is to solve the following tasks: Realization of scientific researches in the following basic scientific
fields: -
Fundamental
and applied problems of algorithmic support of high-efficiency computers
with parallel architecture -
Seismic
data processing -
Weather
forecast and modelling of climate -
Economy,
computer satellite systems -
Numerical
modelling and researches in the field of mechanics of continuous
environments, physics of plasma, physics of powerful shock and detonation
waves -
Ecology -
Geology
and geophysics -
Medicine -
Forest
fires -
and also
a number of others ·
Development
of information technologies with integration of scientific forces of
Institutes of Russian Academy of Sciences, branch scientific research
institutes and educational Institutes of the Russian Federation and
scientific - technological resources of Republic of India. ·
Promotion
of the Russian and Indian scientific products and high technologies on the
markets of our two countries and the markets of the third countries of the
world. ·
In
view of needs of the Russian side to promote purchase of computer
facilities at our Indian partners on favorable terms and - or creation of
computer complexes by joint team of the Russian and Indian experts. Founders
and management of the Centre:
Academician
of Russian Academy of Sciences, Lenin Prize Winner Belotserkovskii Oleg
Mihajlovich is elected The President of the Centre. In
frameworks of ILTP within the area "Computer sciences" there
were executed more than 20 projects, organized 5 Russian - Indian
exhibitions in Moscow at ICAD RAS, several groups of scientists and
engineers participated in a scientific exchange. As
the result of almost 15 years of cooperation both sides have come to
agreement about creation of the Russian-Indian Centre for Advanced
Computing Research which enable to use Supercomputer PARAM for joint
development of software. In
1998 The secretary of Ministry of science and technologies, Government of
India, Mr. V.S. Ramamurthy and the President of Russian Academy of Science
academician Yu.S. Osipov signed “Program of cooperation” in the field of computer researches between the
Ministry of Science and Technologies, Government of India and Russian
Academy of Science. This program has designated the basic stages the
further cooperation in the frameworks of ILTP.
Some
more months of hard work, including the Governmental structures of Russia,
and in December, 2000 the Russian - Indian Centre was registered as
independent legal structure.
Official
inauguration of the Russian - Indian Centre was held on July, 3, 2000. In
the ceremony took part: -
Minister
of Science and Technologies, Government of India Mr. M.M.Joshi; -
Secretary
of Department of Science and Technologies, Government of India professor
V.S.Ramamurthy; -
Deputy
Minister of Science and Technologies, Russian Federation, academician
M.P.Kirpichnikov; -
