Ellen Pedersen, ex-Project Manager TACIS, currently manager of the EU export promotion programmes to Japan:

"inno engaged with the European Commission in the process of modernising the naukograds (Scientific Cities) in the Russian Federation. The project team made all the difference in that process, and results emerged in each naukograd. A sound regional Innovation Strategy (the first of its kind in Russia) was approved and implementation started, commercialisation activities from scientific centres took place with concrete return on investments, and related benefits.
A successful project depends on people, ideas, and political will."

The NESTER project was initiated by European and Russian partners and is supported by the European Commission. The aim of the project is to identify collaboration priorities between Russia and Europe in the field of Networked Embedded and Control Systems (NECS) technologies and to set-up EU-RU partnerships in the NECS domain.

Throughout the 18-month project duration, the consortium coordinated by inno TSD (France) will:
• Identify opportunities for deeper strategic cooperation between Russia and the European Union in the field of NECS technologies,
• Contribute to the definition of a NECS EU-Russian cooperation strategy in at least four industrial sectors
• Promote common development of NECS technologies involving research and industry from EU and Russia
The project will base its analysis on industrial sectors’ needs in order to identify the four industrial sectors most propitious for cooperation.
Based on the analysis results, 4 “cooperation hubs” (one per selected industrial sector) will be established. Each one will be composed of one European and one Russian NECS experts working in the relevant industrial sectors. These 8 experts are expected to become the main project network animators among industrial sectors while also providing their expertise in the establishment of longer term recommendations.
Developing common NECS classification, the NESTER project will screen the Russian and European competences in the field of NECS technologies and map collaboration opportunities by the cross comparison with industrial demands.
The building of the EU-RU NECS network opened to researchers, industrials, and policy makers will support a constructive dialogue between Russia and the European Union. This will create new ideas, concepts and technologies that will catalyze knowledge transfer and allow to progress beyond the current NECS technological state-of-the-art.
NESTER will organize two events in both Europe and Russia. As well as aiming to increase the visibility of the project’s results, the events will allow NECS specialists to promote their activities as well as to initiate new partnerships, and to help the consortium to identify win- win EU-Russian cooperation priorities.
NESTER is thus a great opportunity to build industrial and research partnerships between Europe and Russia in the NECS field.
