/PRNewswire/ --
Agreement will add to Russia's focus on R&D and its involvement in the
international ecosystem of excellence in science and innovation
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical
information products and services, announced today it has reached an
agreement with
Russia's
Skolkovo Foundation, providing access to SciVerse
Scopus and SciVal Funding. Skolkovo aims to strengthen the links between
Russian and international science, technology, education, entrepreneurship and
investment communities.
The Skolkovo Foundation manages direct investments in the Skolkovo
Innovation Center,
Russia's
hub of intellectual capital, a city of high tech
industries stimulating the development of break-through projects and
technologies. The development of the Skolkovo Innovation Center was initiated
in 2010 after President Medvedev announced his commitment to
Russia's
investments in R&D. It has since attracted leading global technology companies
such as Microsoft, IBM, Boeing and Ericsson, integrating
Russia's
R&D program
into the international innovation environment.
Skolkovo Innovation Center is also home to a major overarching innovation-
technology university with direct involvement of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and
Russia's
leading technology universities. Providing this
university with secured access to SciVerse Scopus and SciVal Funding will
further support Skolkovo's core mission: to foster
Russia's
technological
innovations and bundle research activities to address critical issues at a
national as well as global level.
Alexander Lupachev, Investment Director at the Skolkovo Foundation, said of
the agreement, "At Skolkovo we aim to build a wired work environment,
stimulating innovations in all fields of technology. For us it is important that both
young university graduates as well as world-known scientists from any country
will consider Skolkovo as an attractive place to pursue their scientific careers.
Providing secured access to Elsevier's SciVerse Scopus and SciVal Funding
enables us to give these researchers a unique opportunity to exploit the
benefits of the digital economy and science in terms of expertise, collaboration,
partnerships, virtualization, and resource sharing."
Igor Osipov, PhD, Elsevier Regional Director for
Russia
and
Belarus
added, "We
are well aware that
Russia
has many talented scientists working on cutting-
edge research. We believe that our research and funding tools will help the
Skolkovo Foundation enhance the effectiveness of
Russia's
research and
development cycle from research to commercialization by building an excellent
platform for closer international collaboration. This agreement will serve the
strategic purpose of Skolkovo to attract and retain the best talent by offering
cutting-edge capabilities and information to pursue on-site innovative research
with the fast developing knowledge economy."
About Skolkovo Foundation
The Skolkovo Foundation has the mandate from the Russian Government to
help accelerate the transformation of
Russia
from a resource-intensive to an
innovation-based economy through strategic partnerships with leading
scientists and corporations (currently numbering over 330 companies and start-
ups.) The Foundation aims to strengthen the links between Russian and
international science, technology, education, entrepreneurship and investment
communities. To achieve this objective it is overseeing the creation of the
Skolkovo Innovation Centre composed of five R&D clusters, a Technopark, the
Skolkovo Institute of Technology (a new graduate research University
established in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and
Skolkovo city, located near
Moscow
. Together these entities will establish a
vibrant eco-system of technology innovation and entrepreneurship.

Government with a grant of
USD 5 billion
