I support this trust.

Please add Ukraine to the list of European countries.

My experience shows that all very tough regulations and kilograms of papers lead to corruption and the choice of imitators instead of true scientists. Please, do not rely on Academicians, state officials and state delegates when you help scientists from Eastern Europe. Help on the individual basis via those people who create science themselves.

Dear Friends, I am writing in order to give you my opinion about FP Programmes following my INTAS example in past. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, INTAS became the most integrated and powerful fund for NIS, which gave scientific support and tangible benefit to scientists from the former Soviet Union and Europe as well. That is why we, scholars from Ukraine, want to express regret concerning the closing of this European organization supported the wonderful scholars from NIS. The European new bureaucracy-full rules leaded to the situation when it is not possible to bring together current scientific activities in all scientific fields with the purpose of promoting ‘state-of-art’ science and the exchange of information via common activities of teams on international basis. As consequence European scientific community loses the actively working (and young) scientists and highly qualified group of NIS, who has charisma to see deep inside the nature of things, who can suggest the bright ideas and can make independent research.
For example, I can mention my previous post doc INTAS project. This project in 2004 received 96 points out of 100 and thus, our team (Aram Shirinyan and Andiry Gusak – Ukraine, Michel Wautelet - Belgium) successfully started the joint research. In the framework of the INTAS project we tried our best, published papers in peer-reviewed journals including Acta Materialia, Nanotechnology, Philosophical Magazine, Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, Materials Science and Engineering, Defect and Diffusion Forum and we are willing to maintain these fruitful contacts. Secondly, our Belgium-Ukraine teamwork showed high capability of INTAS effort, its public significance. To my opinion, due to the ‘direct appeal politics’ to NIS scholars and scientific group, INTAS helped in creation of common European scientific community including NIS as possessing equal rights, expanded very good human relations between the scientists and even now instigate the young scientists to open their great scientific capacities. Unfortunately, new introduced FP programmes and rules substantially restrict scientists not only from NIS but from European Union as well if last ones want to include in to their projects NIS scholars.
I believe that the European Commission be able to arrive at a wise reviewed solution in this problem. I also see that the rules of FP programs should be reconsidered taking into account abovementioned criticism and new propositions. I hope in simplified paper work and reconsidered FP programs and rules for productive international research projects and cooperation.

Total support the Declaration.

Complexity of the procedure alienates many researchers from FSU countries to apply for funding from EU and make it almost impossible to find partners abroad. I think that both East and West will benefit from simplification of the rules.

9 Mar 17:35   Ukraine   Odessa National I.I.Mechnokov University  Roman VITER
I agree that instead of thinking about science, new ideas and research I have to read a lot of additional information, which is far from my research topic.
