The Committee recommended that U.S. and Russian cooperation partners continue their active cooperation and discussions of the potential of next-generation computing and networking projects, such as those envisioned as the "TERRA GRID" network and the Global Network For Advanced Application Development (GLORIAD). Introduction Nauka-Net CIV-Net Friends Grids The Future Presentation to Russian S&T Council January 2003: The forum was the President's Science & Technology Council and the participants included -- in addition to the President (who presides over this council) -- the nation's most senior science officials (including the Minister of Science, Industry & Technology, the President of the Russian Academy of Science and the President of the Kurchatov Institute (Dr. Velikhov)), and also the Finance Minister (and Vice Premier), the Minister of Commerce, the Minister of Atomic Energy and the head of the National Security Council. “Where the Kurchatov Institute leads, Russia follows” (Russian President) Introduction Nauka-Net CIV-Net Friends Grids The Future Signed Russian Agreement • • • • On Wednesday, March 12, 2003, Dr. Velikhov placed the final signature on a document developed by 7 senior organizations in Russia indicating support and intention to pursue implementation of GLORIAD. It was signed at the Minister level by Ministry of Industry, Science & Technology, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Atomic Energy and Ministry of Education. Also, the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences signed on behalf of the Academy and Dr. Velikhov on behalf of Kurchatov Institute (and as project organizer/lead).
