I think that one of effective way for european collaboration is the creation of Join Laboratories with open walls.

5 Mar 05:25   Russia   Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics  Andrey Sokolov
I agree with this initiative.

less bureaucracy, more science

I sign this Declaration. Our organization participated in EU Project Eurocarp (022665) under FP6 wich took place during 01/01/2006 - 31/12/2008. And during this time we spent more than 3,5 months for preparing and proceeding our financial and activity reports and other organizational moments. The Project finished about a year and a half, but we still havent received our payment fully. Just several days ago we were informed that the problem with payment will be soled in the nearest future.
So I am sure, that the financial and administrative provisions related to the FP and other European funding instruments should be urgently simplify for the scientists and specialist have mauch more time for their researh and scientific work.

Indeed, some data in the applications and reports seem unnesessary.

The main airm of research is consists in wisely using harmonious technologies of the nature in which there is no concept - waste

25 Mar 15:15   Russia   Kotelnikov Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics RAS  Viatcheslav Meriakri
If it will be some positive result due to this Declaration we will have much more time for scientific, not bureaucratic work

3 Mar 22:35   Russia   Moscow State Regional University  Sergey Pyastolov
We support the decleared principals and hope they shall be expanded on other parts of the world besides Europe.

5 Mar 10:43   Russia   Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences  Victor Tsetlin
Doing science in Russia is not easy: awfully long time needed to receive reagents and small eqippment, problems with customs (on the average we have to pay 1.5 -fold more as compared to ordering and receiving the reagents in Europe) , many restrictions on the exchange of samples with foreign collaborators. I was happy to become a member of an FP-7 supported large project Neurocypres. Again, money transfer to a Russian bank is an addtional headache.
The time-sheets required by EU complicate the situation even more, are absurd, and would be appropriate for work being done somewhere under restricted conditions, rather than for a collaboration between scieentists of many countries.

23 Mar 17:32   Russia   Shirshov Institute of Oceanology  Konstantin Korotenko
Now I see that it was an ugly idea to run such big, awkward projects as FP6 and FP7. They gave more profit to bureaucratic structures than scientists.
My opinion: collaborations in EU mostly must be bilaterian and and based on personal communication and scientific interaction. That is the way to get rid of administrative ‘monkey business’.

8 May 12:42   Russia   St.Petersburg State University  Grigory Feofilov
The present level of bureaucracy in science is extremely high and the current tendency is pessimistic, it kills time of reserachers in enormous amounts, it blocks the fast moving teams, and it makes science less and less attractive for young people, it is definitely an obstacle that should be removed, because it kills our future.

17 Feb 16:44   Russia   The Institute of Sociology (Russian Academy of Sciences)  Olga Savinskaya
It takes a LOT of time, mush more that we supposed in the begining.

16 Mar 00:14   Russia   Zoologiczl Institute Russian Academy of Sciences  Mikhalevich Valeria
I vote for providing the ways to all the researches simplier.
