NATO
Science Grant for Russian University
The Vladivostok
State University of Economics and Services has won a
NATO Science grant to develop a computer network in Primorye
Territory. This project will create a regional network infrastructure
linking the educational and scientific centres of Vladivostok,
Nakhodka, Ussuriisk and Artyom. It also plans to maintain
links with the University of California, with which it set
up the project, by purchasing a satellite communications
ground station.
The Vladivostok grant is one of thirteen Networking Infrastructure
Grants awarded last year to improve the level and quality
of academic networks in remote geographical areas of Partner
countries. This grant concerns "PARNET - Regional
Network of Academic and Research Community in Primorsky
Krai". The co-directors of the project are Dr.
V. Kryukov, of the Vladivostok State University of Economics,
and Dr. A. Bordetsky of TELCOT Institute, San Ramon, California,
USA. The NATO-appointed consultant is Dr. Warren Jackson,
of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, who will shortly be making
his first visit to the project organisers. The grant is
BEF 5.6 million.
